My Reasoning for confronting Chris Matthews
vanity | 01 July 2007 | trueblackman

Posted on 07/01/2007 3:59:41 PM PDT by Trueblackman

I would have never thought in my wildest dreams that my confrontation with Chris Matthews would be picked up by my fellow Conservatives, but I feel that Matthews peddles disinformation and spin for those who are left of center and over the last four years I have watched with bitterness as those like Matthews have targeted very military that protects their right to speak.

Matthews thought that he would set up Ms. Ann Coulter in an ambush when he had Ms. Elizabeth Edwards to call in and demanded a stop to what she termed as personal attacks against her husband, but her husband and his fellow Liberals have attacked those members of the military who have no microphone or camera to defend their honor and integrity. John Edwards has often spoken about two Americas, but it seems he wants two Americas himself in which he can attack, attack and attack not only their political opponents he disagrees with, but those in the military as well without need for standards or facts.

As a veteran I took it upon myself to speak out for those who are out fighting and dying for this nation. It does not matter that I no longer wear the uniform, the fact remains that no matter where I go and no matter what I do, every veteran and member of the military is my brother or sister and I refuse to allow them to come under personal attacks by those who have never worn uniform or who have chosen politics above their one time oath to protect this nation. Matthews is political spin-master for those types who have always looked down their noses at the military. These were the same types who attacked our brave military members, who fought in Vietnam and sought to shame them into believing that their served was not just or honorable and that in the end they lost the war that they were asked to fight. As the son of a Vietnam Veteran I refuse to quietly standby and allow what happen to my father’s generation to happen to mine as they fight and die in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mr. Matthews sought to blame the Commander In Chief for the mistakes of a few and this shows just how out of touch with reality he and those like him are to the everyday tasking that falls to those who wear the uniform. If Mr. Matthews feels that the Commander-In-Chief is to blame for everything that has gone wrong in the War on Terror, then Mr. Matthews should file to run for the Office of President of the United States and stop hiding behind the cameras of MSNBC.

Mr. Matthews also showed total disrespect for the service of Congressmen Duncan Hunter, who is a Vietnam Veteran and this was reason enough for me to confront him, but for the wife of a politician to use his show to demand that we afford her husband some type of free pass, while he and those liberals like him attack brave Americans who are doing what he would not do, will not be permitted to happen on my watch and I will continue to confront those like Matthews as long as GOD breathes life into my body for I am a warrior and fighting is what I do best.

Thanks for the link! I wish it wasn't cut off right when it was getting good! There was another video link on that page of Edwards responding to Chris Matthews about the Ann Coulter ambush:

Breck Girl Responds

Listen to Chris LIE about Ann saying she “hoped Edwards was killed by terrorists.” Matthews knows for a fact that he has taken what Ann said completely out of context. Matthews has to know he is lying through his teeth, all the while pontificating about how conservatives need to elevate the dialog. Hey Chris - try NOT LYING if you want to elevate the discussion, you miserable little turdburgler!

Jag!

First of all, thank you for your service. It is deeply appreciated. Second, Chris Matthews is a liberal, and becoming more irelevant every day. He knows this, therefore he has sunk to engineering cat fights.

Pretty shameful to encourage a woman suffering from fatal cancer to call into his show to berate a political pundit. Elizabeth’s time would be better spent with her babies.

“No I scare too many Democrats and allot of Republicans.”

Since you posted here, I’m going to assume you wanted to hear my opinion on this whole thing...

First, ya done good!
Second, scaring dems and pubbies is not necessarily a bad thing.
Third, Reconsider running for office.
