I can't take it anymore, why do I watch. Matthews just blatantly lied about this part of the interview:

The bias continues, here is what Chris Matthews said on Friday’s edition of Hardball:

Chris Matthews: What did you make her of answer when she was asked four times by Charlie Gibson, what would you do if the government of Israel….called us up and said we are ready to hit Iran, we think we got the bead on where their nuclear facilities are, we want some help with AWACS, some intelligence, we want some radar, we want some refueling help.

And the answer isn’t, well let’s talk about it because we’ve got a lot riding on that part of the world in history and we know a lot and we’ve got interests over there too and say, “Oh we’d never second guess you Prime Minister”. To me, that sounds like the dumbest answer I’ve ever heard from an American politician.

To say you wouldn’t second guess an ally, that said they’re gonna hit another country with our help and they want our help and we wouldn’t think about it, we’d just go along with them. Does that make sense, wouldn’t second guess an ally?

John Binkley: Well as I recall, she said she wouldn’t stand in the way.

Chris Matthews: No, she said she wouldn’t second guess, four times. Four times she say’s we won’t second guess Israel when they ask us to help them attack another country. Wouldn’t second guess, wouldn’t think about it, isn’t that an extraordinary statement? For any ally, whether it is England, France, Israel or anybody.

Hey Chrissy, show some professionalism, some intellectual honesty, and stop lying. Gibson never asked such a question. He never said anything about Israel asking us for our help. He simply asked what would you do if Israel decided to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Here is the transcript:

GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?

PALIN: Well, first, we are friends with Israel and I don’t think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security.

GIBSON: So if we wouldn’t second guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative or agree with that.

PALIN: I don’t think we can second guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.

GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.

PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.

It is amazing when you have your own television show, you can just make crap up out of thin air and all the while pretend to be super intelligent.

You go Chrissy, I’m sure your performance sent a thrill up Olbermann’s leg.

Anybody that hears Matthews’ lies is already an Obama supporter. The rest of us are more enlightened than that.

Chrissie, the leg tingle guy over Snobami, never tells the truth. One day the GE board will wake up and fire this lying pos.

Hey Chrissie, this nightmare for you and other lying liberal mediots is coming to DC to make your miserable lives even more miserable.

I REALLY am looking forward to Chrissy’s election night coverage seeing a head explode is sometimes fun to watch.

I get a tingle up my leg when I see a fellow FReeper using one of my creations to illustrate a point!
