Hardball: Howard Dean - Insurgents "Fighting for their Country;" Chris - Dean 'Voice of Reason'

Hardball - MSNBC | governsleastgovernsbest

[governsleastgovernsbest]

In a wide-ranging interview now wrapping up on Chris Matthews' Hardball show on MSNBC, Howard Dean described the murderous insurgents in Iraq as "fighting for their country." So outlandish was his statement that, probably realizing his folly, he quickly added, "don't get me wrong, I favor fighting against terrorists."

Matthews gave Dean incredibly respectful treatment. If Matthews had any criticism of Dean, it came from the left. He called Dean "a voice of reason" and demanded to know why Dean wasn't as critical of the war in Iraq as he was when he was a candidate for the Dem nomination.

Matthews was highly critical of other leading Dems - Kerry, Hillary, et al., who are not as willing as Dean to call the war a mistake or blunder.

Matthews has clearly gone over to the hard left. Niche marketing, or incipient dementia?

[Nachum]

Dean is an embarassment.

Please, just shut up.

If people have a chance to catch a replay [which airs at 11 PM EDT] I'd encourage them to do so. It is shocking to see what a cheerleader for Dean Matthews has become, and how vitriolic Matthews is in condemnation of W.

The stupidity of this man is surpassed only by his arrogance.

Dean Dean The Screaming Machine!

We love ya! Go Dean Go!

didn't Matthews get his start as an aide to Gephart, then switch to "journalism?

[rickmichaels]

"...don't get me wrong, I favor fighting against terrorists."

The POS is referring to American troops, of course.

I’ve never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I’ve never met anybody who does.

Sums it up nice for me.

Another great quote from Dean,....''Osammas a bad man but he's not the worst person in the world!

[Mr. Keys]

I think they're in love.

[Mo1]

This interview is a COMPLETE JOKE

Dean says the name calling isn't called for and doesn't help our country

ROLLING MY EYES

[Williams]

Dean is not fighting for his country.

Filthy scumbag, why should he notice Zarqawi is a Jordanian terrorist, and many others are Saudis, etc. These liberals love to see our allies butchered, usually by communists, but these days they settle for a Jihadist.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

For some odd reason, Matthews specifically asked Dean whether the Dems could defeat Cheney if he ran for President in 2008.

[jackbill]

Is Chris Matthews still on TV?

[Pikamax]

I need video of this.

[slowhand520]

actually he was an aide to Tip O'neal

[RoseofTexas]

Chrissy is an angry bitter little peek squeak because of his show ratings, of course blaming us and W for it!! He can't go down the toilet soon enough for me!!

[Shermy]

"fighting for their country."

Blowing up Shiites and their mosques and shrines is "fighting for their country?"

The insurgents are Baathist hold out and foreign bigots of the most extreme kind.

[California Patriot]

The GOP needs to jump on this quote before the stupid public checks out for July 4 weekend.
