MSNBC/Chris Matthews had on 4 anti-Bush 9/11 widows!

Boycott MSNBC and Chris Matthews!!!

I was flipping around during the 9/11 coverage, and Chris Matthews on MSNBC had on 4 9/11 widows who were so critical of Bush that I had to scream. No other 9/11 widows with opposing views. Matthews did not ask any tough questions. My jaw dropped when I saw one of the carefully-chosen 9/11 widows say this afternoon that "we know" that John Ashcroft and Willie Brown were warned not to fly on 9/11. My jaw hit the floor when Matthews just sat there and didn't challenge any of this.

Here is what NRO wrote about it: "Unfortunately, NBC is only using Gail Sheehy's liberal "Four Moms" as on-air experts today, so viewers may believe the victims' families all despise Bush...I don't remember the grieving families of Clinton-era terror attacks ever getting a network platform to question Team Clinton's performance. "

"Who in Washington would you like to question using chemicals to make them talk?"

I'd like to give that treatment to Chris Matthews.

Not me, I'd like to give Chrissy chemicals to prevent him from ever talking again. Not harm him in any other way mind you, just deprive him of the sound of his own voice. ;-)

[HostileTerritory]

I agree. Complaining about Matthews misses the point. If people complain to him, if there's controversy, if they scream "boycott", he laps that stuff up like mother's milk.

Republicans need to find some widows who are willing to stand up on tv and tell the world they believe in George W. Bush and will vote for him in November! That is the only way to fight the "Jersey Girls."

[FlyVet]

These 9/11 widows will be front and center into November, get used to it. ABC radio news just had one of them on, telling how Rice was just covering up for and Dubya and protecting the administration. No opposing view. They are professional Democrat hacks, bought and paid for.

Not sure about these vicious witches but when the crazies call CSPAN and insist that President Bush was flying the planes by remote control into the WTC and the Pentagon, I just know that it is helping democrats move into the republican column.

Kerrey and Ben Veniste are helping our cause more than they realize, but are blinded by their utter hatred of the President and our country.

[OldFriend]

The networks that hired Kaplan were willing co-conspirators.

Their bottom line is being able to spew the leftist agenda to as many people as possible without regard to the financial health of the station.

I certainly have no pity for any of these entities and have nothing but contempt for them for even pretending to be journalists or news purveyors.

[Katya]

I am so angry with Matthews, my whole house stinks. Okay, I forgot to check on a pot of rice upstairs because I was so incensed at him and his guests, and figured I'd better listen closely to the new democrat talking points. Hence the black smoke, yada yada yada....

Stop Watching The Show. Ratings decline. He is booted.

You have to hit these people where it hurts.

You would not care about him talking if no one heard him. Including you.

That can be accomplished by not watching the show. Ratings dive. He gets booted. Problem solved.

[oceanview]

what boycott, what does he have, 200,000 viewers?

the bigger problems are the spin on the network nightly news, they have millions of sheeple viewers.

I hope the widow woman was wearing a tin-foil Easter bonnet.

[antivenom]

ME too...I like Dennis Miller...he has gotten a good show going...I also go over when I get tired of Hannity's bragging about his book tour.

[Helms]

"this reveals about an NBC willing to hire such a person to run one of its networks..." "- unreal, I'm watching Jim Sieganthaler who is another wimp.

[Two-Bits]

I just sent the following to Chris Matthews

I am somewhat confused and hope you can clear this for me. We had a terrorist bombing in Oklahoma City in which children had perished. I would like to know why the President then did not stop it before it happened. That President had been in office alot longer than 8 months when this happened. Where are the widows of that bombing demanding the truth come out? I think these are fair questions considering your stand regarding the responsibility of 9/11. I am but a simple human being who is baffled at the constant stupidity I see being thrown at me from you, the major media and the Democrat Party. What the hell are you people smoking or drinking?? Talk about diving off a cliff.. Is there anyone left in the Democrat foal that has any intelligence or have they all become Republicans?

[cwb]

And those are good questions, especially since there are still alot of questions surrounding the OKC bombing. In fact, the only difference between the 1993 WTC attack and 2001, is that the buildings came down. That's not to minimize what happened...but the intent was the same. And I just don't recall the family of those loved ones...or the ones at OKC, being given air-time on their favorite lib channels to bash the current administration.

I just sent Chrissy a "ByeBye" email. I'm through with his stupid show.

I won't bother with a farewell missive. I watched the first fifteen minutes of the afternoon Hardball (as opposed to the airing right after Rice's testimony) and clicked and felt ever so much better.

I'm done with him. He has disgraced himself.

Oh, and same goes for his good friend Howard Fineman. I just clicked on a thread, saw his byline and didn't bother. Fineman was at the Dcember reporter/Kerry coaching session.

I found the transcript:

LORIE VAN AUKEN, WIDOW OF 9/11 ATTACK: We also know that people stopped flying domestically. Ashcroft stopped flying. Pentagon officials stop flying the day before September 11. They were warned not fly on September 11. We think San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was told not to fly. That’s all domestic. You know, everybody keeps telling us how they were focused outward.

God Bless you. Excellent, Excellent. Everyone should read this post!!!

[Kuksool]

Good Heavens. This is why I don't watch tv news.

[cyncooper]

I saw your comment earlier about not watching Matthews for fun anymore. You are right. He crossed well beyond the line today with his irresponsible blathering and giving a platform to lunatic ravings.

That's it for me.

I watched a little of Scarborough tonight and I think that he may have listened to me. The first e-mail that I sent him said that his guests were ruining his show. Tonight his show was back to normal, Gordon Liddy, Christopher Hitchens and some woman liberal.
