We need to put a red star up for these liberals. Maybe we need to put up a hammer and cycle for them also.

Back before WWII, there was a lot of talk about the struggle between the "havenots,"--Germany, Italy and Japan--and the" Haves"--Britain, France. It was all about empire. Well, yeah, but that did n't explain why Hitler did not come to terms, as Chamberlain thought he would. Even after the war started, Chamberlain expected Hitler to come to the conference table. He hadn't a clue about what drove Hitler. Neither did Stalin, the epitome of Real Politik. Brutal as Stalin was, he didn't understand what drove Hitler.

No, but a sigh that sez “I’m a dumass” over your parking spot is a start.

Question for Matthews: “If we went to war for oil, why is it that Oscar Wyatt, the big Democrat donor, was getting plenty of Iraqi oil before the war?”

Snore....more of Chrissy’s shallow lib hypocrisy. I doubt he’ll be giving up his gas-guzzling limousines or his big energy-sucking domicile any time soon.

[doc1019]

I have a strong opinion as to where they could place these signs and it ain’t in a cemetery!

[therut]

Chrissy has closed his mind and he is aganist the war NOW. He can not control his opinion and bias and is getting to the point of being ridiculous. He has lost any shred of being objective. He is having a acid trip back in time and soon he will have nightmares of big mosquitoes biting him back in his peacecorps days while the good men of the country went and died. He has a guilt just like all liberals. If he ever admitted what he did was wrong he could not live with himself. He has to keep a wall up from that part of his mind that would lose all strings to reality if he really ever admitted his cowardance.

These people are evil, giving aid and comfort to the enemy by spreading lies. The bigger the lie, the more a lot of too tired to think for themselves Americans believe it.

Same crap that was said during Viet Nam, that our guys were dying for nothing. Anybody remember what happened to the people of Viet Nam and Cambodia after we fled?

I have made it quite clear where I work that if I see or hear anything that states or implies that America is at fault for the war that I will throw them down the stairs. Been over a year now and quite peaceful since we don't talk about politics at work any more.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

We haven’t got a funnel big enough to shove up the gaspipe.

[roses of sharon]

Good grief, what a slimy political campaign MSNBC runs.

Encouraging their audience to believe in conspiracies.

What liars and posers they are.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Greenspan makes a remark relating oil to OIF, and the little girl has a hissy fit!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I suspect your co-workers would rather be thrown down the stairs than listen to conservative logic and reason. I say, give them the latter, and their heads will explode. All a stair-toss would give them is some broken ribs.

[eyedigress]

I really dislike that individual. He misses the entire point that the USA is the only country that can help people in captive governments.

“should we put exxon signs up over arlington cemetery?”

nah. we should put up the hammer and sicle over your tv station, your office, on you car bumpers and on your stationery.

[elcid1970]

Little worthless nonvet wussie chrissie.

Wonder if he’s ever even visited Arlington. Just to pause and offer thanks to those many thousands of the fallen brave?

No, not a chance!

[freekitty]

Hey Chrissy, did you have anything to do with defacing the Viet Nam Memorial with that oil like substance?

[marron]

These people are not very bright. He’s the reporter, supposedly, he should be able to investigate and report how much Iraqi oil was sold to American companies before the war, and how much is sold to American companies now after the war.

It does seem to me that if we were going to go to war to steal someone’s oil, we would start a little closer to home. We get most of our oil from Canada, and they have only a few highway patrolmen between us and their oil. That seems like a logical place to start. Mexico is next, and their army is busy alternately chasing and assisting drug smugglers, they wouldn’t be much trouble. Why go halfway aroud the world to steal oil from people who shoot back, when there is so much oil so much closer to be had at little or no effort?

The fact is that we don’t steal oil, we never have. We get it the old fashioned way, drilling for it and paying for it. And while we have had our oil investments nationalized more than once, there was no war, the oil companies were left on their own to make the best deal they could and smile. Try Mexico in the thirties, and Venezuela in the seventies. It doesn’t happen, it has never happened.

The Pentagon has confirmed today that Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and al Zawahri have been captured and are being held at an undisclosed location.

NOAA scientist have issued a press release today claiming they have found a simple low cost solution to global warming (rumored to have been assisted by algore).

Greek officials report that Natalie Holloway has been found living on a local oil magnate’s yacht.

A UFO has crashed near Ft Wayne Utah, the alien occupants are alive and being cared for by Air Force personnel.

We’ll have these and other stories, but first, out top story; New evidence has come to light that strongly suggests that Bush did in fact lie about WMD’s!

I’m Chris Matthews, let’s play Hardball.

[VR-21]

Leftist hyperbole is nothing new. I can remember at least two political posters during the VietNam war that misused pictures of Arlington Cemetery.

That said, Matthews has certainly set a benchmark for crassness.
