Matthews: Bush, Hitler, Stalin—All ‘Aggressors’

George Bush may be gone as president, but BDS is apparently forever. Deep in the throes of derangement, Chris Matthews this evening labelled America under George Bush an “aggressor” akin to the regimes of Hitler and Stalin. The Hardball host was David Shuster’s guest on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It was Shuster’s playing of a clip of Pres. Obama talking about reclaiming the “moral high ground” on issues like torture that set Matthews off.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I grew up with the idea that we were the good guys all the time in foreign policy. Maybe that’s naive, but when we use words like “aggressor,” we’re going to stop aggression, we’re going to stop countries from invading other countries.

We had to stop using that language under the Bush administration, because we were the aggressor. We took over Iraq. They hadn’t attacked us. We attacked them, overtook their country, hanged the guy in charge and ran the show for all these last years. We can’t even use the old-time good guy/bad guy language of “stop the aggressor.” Hitler was an aggressor. Stalin was an aggressor. The Japanese empire was an aggressor. They were the bad guys, aggressors.

Matthews deep in BDS ping to Today show list.

Matthews you deranged fairy.

[squidly]

We sure as heck weren’t the aggressor on 9/10/01. I guess he preferred things the way they were that day.

Hitler killed millions, Stalin killed millions … Bushed free millions. Gee, the similarities are striking. :-)

I think people like Matthews are worse than the terrorists. The terrorists may be crazy, but Matthews is both crazy and a traitor.
And the fact that Matthews has not killed anyone is irrelevant. That does not make him more moral--just more cowardly.

Yo Chrissy. Put your Obama Tingler away, try to focus and check this out!!!

Any of this look familiar or is your mind too far gone?!

[popdonnelly]

If Matthews can’t be objective, he should shut up.

Mathews, you effeminate little backstabbing liberal prick — you were all for this Iraq invasion until things went sour in 2004.

Go to hell, you obnoxious little gasbag.

Ya well, Chris Matthews also said his job was to make the Obama Presidency a success.

[doc1019]

Someday ScottinVA, you will tell us how you really feel. LOL! ;-)

Obama is a socialist like Hitler, Satlin, Marx, Mao, Pol Pot. Bush tried to free millions of people from tyranny. Who is evil?

The limp-wrist with the thrill in his leg seems to have forgotten Wilson and FDR.

Wasn't Truman a Democrat? Wasn't he the only human being on the planet to use an atomic bomb in warfare...a Democrat? (I don't object to his decision, but I do object to Sissy Matthews’ mis-characterization of Bush when there are far easier comparisons between Dems and totalitarians.

And let's not forget that the Islamofascists structured their militaristic and terroristic campaign on the Bolshevik Revolution. The Ba’ath party is a socialist party. Obammie the Commie is their bro, not W.

[james500]

Does Matthews have some kind of recollection of Serbia attacking the US prior to Clinton waging war on them?

[StarFan]

What does BDS stand for? I've seen it on several threads now and just have to ask.

BTW I believe MSNBC ranked 22nd in a viewership poll cited by O'Reilly tonight which means their batty obsessions are forcing most, but the left wing kooks, to go elsewhere.

Lincoln was an agressor.
Grant was an agressor.
Kennedy was an agressor.
Johnson was an agressor.
Roosevlet (teddy) was an agressor.

What is his point?

If one wants to look at similarities in politics the kinship between the current version of the Democrat party and the National Socialists are quite striking.

Socialism and anti-semetism are the most troubling similarities.
