Bipartisan agreement that Chris Matthews ought to start apologizing

From Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review Online:
MSNBC reached a new shameful low tonight when Chris Matthews referred to West Point as an "enemy camp." He was trying to convey his surprise that Barack Obama would go to such a place, somewhere, he said, where Paul Wolfowitz would be more comfortable.
Chris, he's commander-in-chief.
Agreed.
Matthews became an embarrassment a long time ago.
In a court hearing once, a former friend was trying to pretend that I didn't know her well, and she insisted that her name was not Marsha (spelled Marcia), as I was pronouncing it, but was really Mar-see-ah.
Except her grandkids call her Marsha, and so does her husband, and so does everyone else, but somehow she emphasized the difference just to indicate that I didn't know her as well as I was claiming to know her.
So, because of my personal experience, this fascination with Cheney's name tees me off! LOL
did matthews always pronounce it like that... with the whole "cheeeeney" thing?
Every liberal I know has always thought he was obnoxious. Most of us mocked him for his tingly feeling.
When you point out that Tweety criticized Obama for getting orange juice at a diner, they have nothing to respond with. It's just extrapolating one example and trying to make it symptomatic of a larger problem. They do it to Muslims all the time.
We like some of his opinions, but not others.
And in the mind of a black and white thinker, any praise is 100% support. And we all know that rightwingers lack any shades of gray in their lives.
And how about his Giuliani man-crush: "Americans want a little fascism"????
Another case of a clueless right-winger thinking he knows what progressives think without bothering to listen to any is what we have here.
Something like "just another right-wing b.s. spouter" would be appropriate. And truthful.

... "truthful" ?? Of course, then he wouldn't be a true right-wing spouter, now would he ??
I also remember senile 2G Liddy raving about the President's codpiece, but that, quite happily, is another story...
You do realize that the world is not evenly divided between being "liberal" or "conservative," right? Based on your post, I'd guess that you are neither.
Now, you have to wonder if the docs need to reformulate his meds.
Sometimes, all you can do is sit there speechless after he makes some statement of "fact", that only he can see.
It doesn't matter much whether the troops like Obama. The upper brass is about 95% dyed-in-the-wool Republican. The GOP thinks it owns the military and continue to be reluctant about letting Democrats into their tent. The Joint Chiefs and upper brass fought Clinton every step of the way, and the Bush administration routinely purged any hint of defection.
Of course, no one in polite Washington society publicly acknowledges this, and Matthews certainly knows the game, so it is funny that he actually said this outloud.
when have they ever gone as low? it was an observation with a bad label choice. the righties never move on from this kind of stuff. they latch on like crazy... probably because the idiots on their side say stuff like this so much, never apologize and they get a pass for some reason, but anything liberals say is magnified.
