Matthews Calls West Point, Site of Obama Speech 'The Enemy Camp,' 'Strange Venue'
NewsBusters ^ | December 1, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Either MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews let one slip tonight, or it was an extremely poor choice of words.

Following President Barack Obama's Dec. 1 speech, which he announced his intentions for increasing troop levels in Afghanistan, MSNBC followed with wrap-up coverage of his speech with arguably three of their most prominent on-air personalities - "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann, "The Rachel Maddow Show" host Rachel Maddow and Matthews.

Matthews referred to a scene from "Gone with the Wind" about the American Civil War as an example of "excitement" going into a war. He said that was lacking in the room during Obama's speech.

Can’t say I’m surprised.

Would somebody please take Matthews to the doctor — he obviously needs a complete neurological workup, and don’t forget to tell them about the leg tingles.

That excellent Seven Year Itch photoshopped graphic lacks just one thing: is it possible to put an animated “tingle” going up either of CHrissy Tingle’s legs? I think it would add ever-so-much.

"It seems like in this case, there isn't a lot of excitement," Matthews said. "I watched the cadets, they were young kids - men and women who were committed to serving their country professionally it must be said, as officers. And, I didn't see much excitement. But among the older people there, I saw, if not resentment, skepticism. I didn't see a lot of warmth in that crowd out there.

Hey Chrissy - maybe those cadets and older people there know the CIC is a phoney and have no faith in him in executing this war to a success conclusion (read: victory). Those same people also avoid you and the rest of your ilk in the MSM because they know you are propping this guy up.

Not my work, alas (I stole it from elsewhere on the ‘net). Possibly some more graphically-oriented fellow FReeper, however...? ;)

Those cadets will put their lives on the line for America and each and every one of us. They recognize a ringer when they see one.

It was a strange venue for Barry.
Highland Falls doesn’t have any mosques,
so he had to settle for the Academy.
Chris Matthews is so far off the deep end that he believes Gone With The Wind is a documentary.

Kent, you are more than trapped in Seattle. That is the funniest I recall seeing in a long time. It carries so many items of interest.

Happy to contribute to the cause.
He looks even more obscene, if that's possible.

He should be fired. It’s inexcusable for him to defame West Point with this comment. Those cadets take an oath to obey the Commander-in-Chief.

Please send Drudge link to Crissie's comment! My jaw hit the floor when he called the Cadets "enemy camp!"
