Matthews: Insurgents are "Not Bad Guys", "Rivals", "Just Disagree"
MSNBC ^ | Updated: 10:19 a.m. ET Nov. 16, 2004 | Chris Matthews

Posted on 11/16/2004 8:49:40 AM PST by ironman

From Hardball Monday Nov 15, 2004:

MATTHEWS: Well, let me ask you about this. If this were the other side, and we were watching an enemy soldier, a rival-I mean, they‘re not bad guys, especially—just people that disagree with it. They‘re in fact the insurgents fighting us in their country.

If we saw one of them do what we saw our guy do to that guy, would we consider that worthy of a war crimes charge?

They're TERRORISTS and most of them aren't even from the country they're fighting in.

Matthews is a moron. Not a rival, not a bad guy, but a moron.

Check out what Matthews said here:

He has gone completely over the cliff.

With any luck: Li'l Chrissie will find himself shuttled over to Iraq by his corporate masters, as an "embedded reporter": and promptly end up having some insurgent-propelled ordinance "disagreed" into a vital organ or three.

Again, Chris "I joined the Peace Corps during Viet Nam war 'cause I didn't have the balls to join the Marine Corps'" Matthews has less credibility than a screen door on a submarine.
So his opinion is zip!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Yeah. In a block of concrete.

Remember when he almost broke down crying after Gore's concession speech?

This loudmouth is a disgrace.

He is still a Democratic hack, posing a journalist.

Would Chrissy have these "misunderstood - non-bad Guys" live in his city? On his street? To his house for a cocktail party?

This is not liberalism, socialism or anything like this, it's a simple idiocy. The guy is a cretin.

" If we saw one of them do what we saw our guy do to that guy,"

These are the same people who watched numerous beheadings and cheered. These are the same people who first murdered, then burned and and then mutilated the bodies of innocents who were there to rebuild the country.

I have no sympathy and I'm not sorry about having no sympathy.

This is a war and the other side has no rules.

One less terrorist for us to feed and one more Marine who will come home to his family.

This is a prime example of the Tolrance of the Socialist Left. Mathews is just pushing the Socialist agend. The Muslims in Holland will not tolerate any criticism of Islamic religion.

They killed Van Goegh to indicate this. So the answer to this, to solve the problem is to allow more Muslims into the country and find a way to teach them the Socialist Dutch policy of Tolerance. !

So Mathews, being a Socialist spews out the same dialogue as the Dutch, their just people who disagree with us, even though they are killing our people. They act like it's a family argument between members of the FAMILY of MAN. Their KILLING us, not Argueing!!

There ain't no good guy
There ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me
And we just disagree

Great song, thanks for ruining it for me, Priss.

Create a poster with the image of the female kidnap victim's torso, disemboweled, dumped in the street.

Now overlay:
" Well, let me ask you about this. If this were the other side, and we were watching an enemy soldier, a rival-I mean, they‘re not bad guys, especially—just people that disagree with it. They‘re in fact the insurgents fighting us in their country."

I guess the NAZIs weren't really bad guys - just enemy soldiers.

These idiots can't seem to get it through their heads - this isn't just a difference of opinion about one's favorite football team. It isn't even the kind of distinction that separated British and Americans in 1776, or even North and South in 1860.

This is a millenial distinction in perspectives about lifestyles and basic belief systems. These guys feel ANYTHING goes in this war with "the west" - civilian causalties, germ warfare, nuclear weapons, hostage taking, torture, firing out of mosques, clergymen calling for attacks on civilians, etc. Furthermore, the society they represent condones a value system which is diametrically opposed to nearly every value we have evolved to cherish after a political evolution of several millenia.

I just hate liberal idiots like this guy.

Matthews is so intent on trying to find an audience that he is going for the Muslim countries to add to his ratings. He has no integrity in any manner. What a scumbag.

Don't forget disembowling her and filling the cavity with explosives set to explode like a booby trap.
