CHRIS MATTHEWS SAID WHAT?!
Michelle Malkin ^
Posted on 04/01/2005 6:45:08 AM PST by Republican Red
I am so sick of the sanctimony of MSM bigmouths lecturing conservatives about the need for civility in the wake of Terri Schiavo's murder. Look at what MSNBC talk show host Chris Matthews said yesterday on Don Imus' radio show--a brutish, grotesque, and slanderous quote that the Imus website proudly spotlighted as one of its "News Quotes of the Day:"
[Matthews:] The American people believe that there's been a lot of politics in this, and they don't really have confidence in any of the parties here. There's nobody here who looks particularly compelling or attractive. The husband doesn't know how to present himself at all, his brother's okay. The parents... the father seems to be having, I hate to say this, a good time. I don't know why, maybe it's the focus, maybe he's giddy with sadness of the tragedy that has been going on for so long.
Now, look at this exhausted, heartbroken father and tell me he is having a "good time."
Tell me he looks "giddy."
Tell me he looks like he's enjoying the publicity.
We knew Chris Matthews had no shame. Now we also know: The king of cable TV ghouls has no soul.

It seems to me that the msm has stepped up the lies lately. I in no way can even stand to watch the evening news anymore. I very rarely watched it before so maybe it is still the same. Nonetheless I suspect they are losing their grip and have stepped up the slanted view with lies.

I agree. But it always is more complicated. But the sight of that mother with her daughter smiling at her just gets burned in one's brain. This did not have to end this way, it really didn't.

Now where was the barf alert?
In the the title.
I thought Chris Matthews and barf alert were synonymous.

I'm not agreeing with Chris Matthews, but this whole episode is not nearly as simple as either side wants to make it.What are you tying to say? That Mr. Schindler had his own agenda? Even if we assume that both sides wanted Terri's settlement money, (a heinous lie), all we had to do was let the Schindler family have one year to care for Terri. Give them the money to care for her, let them get tests, treatment, etc, before pulling the plug.

Couldn't have said it better myself. What a sicko. Clearly, he's projecting.

Matthews comment is both false and MOST insensitive. Where is his compassion?

Just saw this on MRC site for April Fool's Day. This is a CBS type piece - FAKE but accurate: ____________________________________________________________
MSNBCs Matthews Offended By Words He Put In Guests Mouth
Host Chris Matthews: Michelle Malkin, you were just saying that Michael Schiavo, the husband of Terri Schiavo, is wrong to want to pull the plug on his wife. Why?
Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin: Chris, I dont think we can be absolutely certain about what his wife, what Terri would have wanted.
Matthews: Do you think hes a murderer?
Malkin: What? No, Chris let me make my point
Matthews: You do, dont you!? Now, I want you to be clear now. Youre alleging that Michael Schiavo walked in one night oh so many years ago and took a pillow to Terri, arent you?
Malkin: No, what? I never said
Matthews: How can you come on this program and make such an allegation? Were you in the room when this attempted murder took place?
Malkin: Chris, youre putting words in my mouth.
Matthews: What gives you the right to drum up this fantasy? Its something out of an Agatha Christie movie!
Malkin: What? I didnt say that at all. Chris let me talk!
Matthews: No, Michelle, I want you to be clear. Are you calling Michael Schiavo a murderer, yes or no?!
Malkin: I just wanted to make a general point about the way euthanasia is viewed by some members of
Matthews: Yes or no, Michelle?! Did Michael Schiavo have a hit taken out on his wife?
Malkin: Chris let me
Matthews: Unbelievable. Youve turned this poor husband into a Scott Peterson! I cant believe youd come on this program and make these charges with absolutely no proof. Okay, well be back in a minute, and were gonna try and keep it clean from here on out. Sheesh. Youre watching Hardball.
Exchange on MSNBCs Hardball, April 1.
FAKE but accurate

I second that. Matthews is a "Always has been a has been".

As a Catholic, it sickens me that Chris Matthews, like John Kerry claims to be so also, to a national audience.

I knew loudmouths like Matthews when I was going to school in Philly. He reminds me so much of that of that schoolyard punk who never could keep his machine gun mouth shut.Me too - in Jersey. They would mouth off and then run like hell if you challenged them. And, they typically didnt have many friends. Matthews definitely fits this description. If Olbergirl was not on MSLSD, Matthews would have the distinction of having the lowest rated show there.

Why wouldn't Matthews be indifferent to Terri's plight? He doesn't seem to like young women (except, maybe, the icy Nora O'Donnell). He interrupts, berates and bullies women guests (like Miss Malkin)all the time. I noticed this pattern years before the Schiavo case.
To: capydick
I think in his heart of hearts, he knows this and has a hard time reconciling his career with his beliefs. That would explain the perpetual sneering and anger.

It IS simple! When there are questions, one errs on the side of LIFE! FULL STOP!! So no doubt you would condemn that Marine who shot the apparently unarmed Iraqi. After all, there were certainly questions, right? And you would want him to err on the side of life, right?
Your statement, taken to its logical conclusion, would mean that you never support wars. No matter how hard we try, innocent people die in wars. And if we are to "err on the side of LIFE! FULL STOP!!", then how can we countenance those deaths?
I know you folks desperately want this to be an open and shut case. But it's not. There are knotty ethical and moral questions involved that human history has not equipped us to easily answer.
As I said in the beginning, it's just as simple as either side wants it to be. (And for the record, I think the leftist "dignity of death" folks are being just as pig-headed about it.)
