...We are going to keep things clean on this show. No irresponsible comments are going to be made on the show.
He opened the next segment with:
Dana, what did you make of that exchange we just had with Michelle Malkin there saying that there are rumors out, there are certain people out there that say that John Kerry shot himself on purpose to get a Purple Heart. This is how bad it‘s gotten, I think
Like the "they - errh except one - didn't serve on his boat!" line which preceeded it, this is a classic straw-man argument by the libs and orchestrated by Matthews tonight & then picked up elsewhere in the liberal realm like clockwork. Kerry was never shot. I don't think he's claimed to have (literally) been shot (like with a bullet, from a gun). He's never filed medical records for being shot unless there's more mystery late night travels, woundings & healings Brinkley has yet to hear about.
IMO the shift in tactics accompanies this coordinated campaign, eminating from the Kerry campaign and carried out, in large part, by their friendly comrades in the media & spinmeisters extroadinaire, even if it's Willie Brown. Add Max Cleland for sympathy factor ... except there's no recognition anywhere the central part of Kerry's legacy, the Christmas in Cambodia, has already being debunked with Kerry's campaign forced into the position of being a LIAR (and a delusional one at that).
Seems to me that in any typical court in this land the burden of proof would have shifted to Kerry to answer and, if unable, considered to have LIED in every other instance. For Matthews and his ilk, albeit the Post or NYT, it is journalistic fraud of the highest order to ignore such factual realities and construct straw men in their places, placing demands on men of at least equal honor which they would never seek to ask, beg or even request of their hero, Hanoi John French Kerry.
The problem with this tact is that Kerry was never shot.
These guys lost their marbles.
I cant wait for Michelle to kick his ass in an article! :)
I'm sure little Chrissy thought he done good, but now his attempt to create talking points for Kerry is going to be all over talk radio tomorrow.
"No irresponsible comments are going to be made on the show."
I am assuming, therefore, that Chris is going to henceforth remain silent.
Chris Matthews will never admit he's clueless.
Yep, I heard Colmes and Matthews both say it tonight.
Way to go, Michele!
Getting the word out there.
Sounds like Chrissy was speechless.
Chris Matthews is literally losing his marbles, spewing and spitting out invective against any possible opponent to Sir Kerry Heinz.
TOUGH TOENAILS, CHRIS! BRING ON THE *TRUTH* AND QUIT BLAMING BUSH FOR THE VETS' CHARGES. YOU WANT TO MAKE NEWS, RUN FOR OFFICE. IF YOU WANT TO REPORT NEWS, BEHAVE YOURSELF AND QUIT SPITTING ALL OVER YOUR MIC AND INSULTING GUESTS. YOU'RE GOING RABID.

And Chris Matthews is up to his old DNC misdirection tricks where he puts things in people's mouths: "Are you saying Bill and Hillary personally murdered Vince Foster? Is that what you're saying? That's crazy conspiracy talk! I'm not going to stand for it!"
Kerry frags himself and Chris M is the one who ends up with
PTSD. Who woulda thunk?
Chris Matthews thinks he is cute. He's playing a little game. Trying to twist what Thurlow was saying. It always helps when you have a rapid fire mouth and won't let a person finish their thought. He did it with Malkin as well. You could see the delight in his eyes. Michelle did a good she could but he needs to be up against a really formidable debater like Medved.
So a quick post before bed, but I'm going to say Matthews HASN'T read the book.
I haven't either, but I'm not on Nat'l TV debating it, as he shouldn't be either without reading the book first.
Its my understanding he was extremely hostile to Michelle Malkin the whole time she was on. Loser.
Kerry: "Waaah! Why are you questioning my Vietnam service?"
Citizen: "Well John, what else do you want to talk about?"
Kerry: "I don`t know..Uuumm...Hey, did you know I was in Vietnam?"
This has been going around in circles the whole time this idiot has been campaigning. That`s what he based his Senate career on! " I am a Vietnam vet, and other Vietnam Vets kill babies" Now it`s "I am a Vietnam Vet and a war hero" WHAT THE HELL ELSE DOES THIS IDIOT RUN ON? NOTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
Look...This is from his own website...
http://www.johnkerry.com/front/splash.html
Front page: "Make history with us"
Make history about what? What the hell is he talking about? Again like I said, NOTHING!
Then you get to the main page where it has "A stronger America"..Then guess what he talks about? I WAS IN VIETNAM!!! AAAAAAAUUUGHH!!!!!!!!
I havent read the book either ...who says what?
And last night he let Howard Dean get away with saying something absurd, and when called on it by his next guest, stated in the political season he lets people say what they want.
But that was last evening and Howard Dean.
If you are not careful with grenades you can inflict wounds upon yourself. Self inflicted but not intentional. Probably not medal worthy.
If he intentionally inflicted the wounds upon himself that is malingering and punishable by UCMJ.
A self inflicted wound does not have to be deliberate.
