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.
Yeah Dale was my driver..The Intimidator Forever!
You go, Kevin!
is there a clip we can watch for those of us who refuse to turn chrissy on anymore????
Good on you, sir! Thanks.
Thank you and seeing that Matthews is paid to yell people down it felt good to see home get some of his own back.
Matthews is a disgrace.
Thank you.
I heard this on the radio Friday. As a vet I’d like to say THANK YOU Kevin, for taking on that jerk.
I heard the clip on Rush’s show. You dominated Chrissie. You said what needed to be said and what needs to be heard.
Matthews now carries the water for the left so much he might as well be trucking around the whole Gulf of Mexico.
I'll second the earlier post suggesting you run for office.
True - I remember what he did to Michelle Malkin! Again - GOOD JOB!!! It’s all on the wheel isn’t it?
And then they hide behind "freedom of the press" and "freedom of speech".
Well, dammit (for those in Rio Linda, it means I'm pretty charged up), without guys like you, and women like...the women who serve our country, we don't have any freedom! To paraphrase the philosopher, we can sleep soundly in our beds because soldiers stand ready to do violence on our behalf.
Thank you for your part in keeping America free, and for defending us against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
Thanks.
Check post 17.
Matthews is just like the rest on the left.
May I add something to this? And this is not a knock against you, don-o, but sometimes what frosts me is when people call smart blacks, or any people, for that matter, "articulate". To me, this is just codespeak for "we're surprised that a black man can speak so well".
Why be surprised? Why shouldn't one speak well, regardless of the color of his/her skin? Again, I'm not trying to start something, but I do notice that phrase used, particularly with black folk (such as are TBM, and Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, and many other black conservatives).
Anyway, didn't mean to hijack the thread, hope I didn't, apologies if I did. I just think that the sooner we celebrate knowledge, education and achievement, without having to attach the color labels to it, or the "first black this, that, or other" (witness this past Super Bowl), the sooner we get rid of the history of dividing by race. (And by extension, the death of the Democrat Party as we know it)
Been taking jerks on all my life.
That was you ????!!! BRavo!
What Congressional District are you in?
