They're not evil -- they just have a different perspective...
Reader Harold send the link to this:
Four years after 9/11 and the "crazy zeitgeist" that permeated the United States, most Americans have still not learned to know their enemies instead of just hating them, U.S. political journalist Chris Matthews says...
Hey, it's possible to know someone AND hate them. We've learned a LOT about Islamofascist murderers. And it's not crazy to loathe killers who slaughter 3,000 people just to make a splash. Even the pacifists probably would have disapproved, in the old days before they sold out.
...In a speech to political science students at the University of Toronto yesterday, the host of the CNBC current affairs show Hardball had plenty of harsh words for U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the political climate that has characterized his country for the past few years...
Pretty frustrating that people no longer take your liberal views for granted, for "mainstream."
"The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn't a robust discussion of what we were doing," Matthews said...
Bullshit. Utter crapola. There was furious political debate. And millions found your propensity for appeasement vile, and said so loud and clear. I guess in your lexicon "robust" means "dominated by liberal media figures."
..."If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we've given up. The person on the other side is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."
I'm glad you have such a broad-minded attitude towards America, Matthews. And towards President Bush too. I'm happy you think he just has a "different perspective." Oh? What's that? You were referring to al Zarqawi? Oh, of course. Sawing people's heads off on camera is OK, but EVIL is something you won't tolerate...
This is such a good example of the utter sickness of the Left. Al Queda just sent a married couple to blow up a wedding party in Amman, Jordan. But drooling appeasers are still saying "we have to understand," just like they did after 9/11.
NO, we do NOT have to "understand." If I went and blew up the wedding of Chris Matthews's daughter, would he waste a minute understanding MY "different perspective?" Ha. Well, maybe if I were black and on Death Row. Then I would be "innocent," and a "victim," and fake-leftists would hold candle-light vigils...
Posted by John Weidner at November 21, 2005 11:46 AMThis reminds me of when Mike Dukakis was asked during the presidential debates about what he would do if his wife were being raped and he drew a blank. Matthews is just the latest iteration of hollow man.
The left is not morally serious and can therefore not be trusted with the grave responsibilities that attend political life. Their function is, at best, ornamental, and they should be dismissed.
Posted by: Luciferous at November 21, 2005 12:30 PMThe problem, Luciferous, is that the wacko left, as part of the Democratic Party, got something like 60 million votes in the last presidential election, and if a hundred thousand votes had gone the other way in Ohio, they would have gained the Presidency. Until the Democratic Party faithful can be made to see that the wacko left has hijacked their party, the wacko left will continue to be a threat that CANNOT be merely dismissed, beneath contempt though they are.
Posted by: Hale Adams at November 21, 2005 03:07 PMChris Matthews looks like a toad and his voice sounds like two garbage pail lids being banged together. Also, as you have revealed here, he's dumb as a box of rocks. I'd wonder how he became a television pundit if my estimation of television punditry hadn't gone to the depths ages ago.

It grows, expands and turns into a Chris Matthews!
He has his own easy way to clone himself.
