On Hardball: '100,000 People Dead' Because of 'Creepy' Cheney
News Busters ^ | 02/04/2009 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 02/05/2009 10:01:34 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

On Wednesday night's "Hardball," Chris Matthews led a not-so-balanced panel of lefties that included Mother Jones's David Corn and Salon's Joan Walsh, in hammering Dick Cheney's concerns, relayed in an interview with Politico, about the Obama administration's softer stance in the war on terror. The "Hardball," host led the attack on Cheney as he charged the former Vice President: "Was wrong in a way that was lethal. 100,000 people dead including 4,000 Americans are dead, something like 15,000 wounded because he was wrong."

Walsh piped in: "We have a situation where it's vintage Dick Cheney. It's dark, it's dire, it's creepy, it's kooky, it's very scary, but there's absolutely no evidence. And so you're right to point to the fact that this is a man who's gotten everything wrong. There was no connection between the 9/11 hijackers and Saddam Hussein. There was, there were no weapons of mass destruction. We were not greeted by a mushroom cloud as the smoking gun. He got everything wrong, thousands are dead and now he's back."

And for his part Corn wondered: "How detached from reality is he?"

Then Matthews, parroting a line his NBC colleague Tom Brokaw made on Inauguration Day, remarked: "He does seem like a character out of 'Dr. Strangelove.'"

The following exchanges were aired on the February 4 edition of "Hardball":

Guess they don’t like the strong effect Cheney’s comments have been having since he left office.

“Would they prefer 140,000 Americans dead?”

Yes. When you kill 40,000,000 babies without blinking, what is 140,000 more? In the dim mind it is less of a burden on the Govt.

10 million Americans died in the last 5 years.

What’s their point?

(And that doesn’t include the aborted.)

Never.

Too white.

Too Christian.

Too gun-loving.

Too direct.

Too pro-military.

Too honest.

To call these people unglued is an insult to the unglued.

There was no need to go to Iraq, but 100,000 (if we accept their figures) terrorists somehow miraculously appeared in a nation that wasn’t associated with terrorists.

You’ve got to truly love the way the left outs themselves for not being able to tie any facts together to come to a reasonable conclusion.

Dick Cheney, you’re the man!

Liberals would blame the 3000+ World Trade Center deaths on Buch nnd Cheney if there was any way to get away with it.

Having lived through WW-II, I shutter to think how many American wartime (inside of the next 20 years) deaths will be directly attributable to Liberal softness on American national defense.

Why shouldn't they brazenly spew anti American propaganda? Is anyone going to do anything about it? No way.

Can't blame bad guys for doing bad things. Can blame good guys for not doing hard things, though.

Joan Walsh is such a tired old bag. She’s probably one of the reasons why Salon stock is worth about 99 cents a share.

Who is watching this stuff. People on life support who are being tortured by the nursing staff, addled minded drug addicts while waiting for thier pusher, or maybe some pedophile watches while waiting for the school down the street to let go.

Update: Salon’s stock is worth 35 cents a share today.

They are restructuring. Joanie Walsh will be out of a job soon, like all the other unemployed Americans. BOO-HOO.
