Matthews didn't challenge DeLay's claim that Obama will "surrender the war on terror"

SUMMARY: On MSNBC, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told Chris Matthews that if Barack Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination, "we'll get to talk about what change means when Obama is president of the United States. Change isn't exactly what I think this nation wants to go -- surrender the war on terror, more taxes, more spending, bigger government." Matthews did not challenge DeLay's comments. The next day, a Washington Times article quoted DeLay smearing Obama as a "Marxist."
