John O'Neill To Be On Hardball Tonight

Hardball | 8/12/04 | Chris Matthews

[pookie18]

Since O'Neill will be the guest, I'm sure it will be "hardball". However, after what he encountered on Crossfire with Carvile (sic) & Leapin' Lanny Davis, this'll probably feel like a walk in the park...

"I heard Carvilles meltdown was epic. Matthews will probably try the same thing tonight. Who cares, even the die hard lefties I spar with at work know Kerry is a fraud. And believe me, that is saying something.."

And they'll still vote for him, right? Because even a traitor fake whose record shows he's soft on threats against our country, at a time when weakness will signal our enemies to go for the throat, is better than the "Bushitler"?

I could blather on that for 5 days alone. Then I think, "why bother, half the time they're inept enough to hang themselves."

[Reagan79]

Texas? You are just a Republican from Texas...I knew it!

[MarkeyD]

I can't watch shows like his, my blood pressure rises too much. But it sure is fun to read this and the CNN/Carville threads about these shows.

[ScottFromSpokane]

I heard that MSNBC may be terminated. What happens to Chris Matthews if that happens?

If no one claims him in fourteen days, he'll be put to sleep.

[austingirl]

Yes, Republicans from Texas are the new lepers in America.

[Irish Eyes]

I am watching the replay of Hardball, this is very possibly chris mathews at a new low. O'Neil is grace under fire he, can hold his own. Amazing how little chrissy kept trying to put him in his place and shut him up.

O'Neil you are the best. I wish him God speed on his mission.

[ScottFromSpokane]

Apparently there's a new new story (the notion that a conspiracy of cartographers had misplaced the Mekong Delta for thirty years apparently wasn't going to fly).

My mom just told me the same thing earlier.
and here I was in my own little idaho cruising fR all evening and listening to court tv.
Mom said today was one of the most dispicable days for the cable news channels and now she's convinced herself that Bush cant win against all the hate and bile the MSM is spewing 24/7.
I said to her just buck up mom I think Bush will win and you must stop listening to the commyedia all the time.but she was a little down in the dumps when I hung up.

They have only themselves to blame. Kerry's lack of candor regarding Vietnam has been a subject of discussion by many who came in contact with him from the VVAW onwards.

[NativeTxn]

I keep asking but no one seems to know the answer! Do these Veterans for Kerry get paid? Where can we find out? I think this is a very important thing to know. Surely some journalist should try and find this information.

[TexasTransplant]

Sizzle,,, Fry,,, you have nailed little Crissy, your post should have been running on that little ticker tape thing at the bottom of the picture...

"Kerry did more than the President? Really, Chrissy?

Let's see... Kerry lied to get his medals, bugged out after 16 weeks, then lied to the Senate about the honorable men and women in the service, calling them murderers, rapists, and war criminals, then went on to have a 19 year career in the Senate so embarrassing that he didn't even mention it in his acceptance speech.

On the other hand, President Bush led the country through 9-11, two wars that have liberated over 30 million people and renewed economic prosperity all the while restoring the diginity of the office from the previous stain of an occupant. Dubya's place in history is secure.

So one can only conclude, Chrissy, that you're an idiot who should wear Kerry kneepads from now on. At least McCreepey wiped his chin before he went on the air."

[AUsome Joy]

while I realize it might hurt his case, wouldn't you just love to see O'Neill take out his 45 and shoot them both in the farhead: Must see TV...

LOL What an understatement! I can't stop laughing, not only for the visual but that it might hurt his case.

[Ciexyz]

Chris Matthews (pathetic jerk) was downright nasty and rude to him.

[Ciexyz]

I will feel bad if MSNBC goes down, I keep my cable to watch Scarborough (and Fox News).

Kerry is deathly afraid that he is being exposed for who he really is-Milo Minderbinder.

In Catch 22, Minderbinder learned to game the supply system in North Africa. People like Minderbinder were all over the U.S. Army in the Mediterranean and Northwest Europe during the Second World War. The U.S. Army supply system was unbelieveably corrupt (not that it hurt us, we had an extreme overabundance of supply). Acres of supplies were built up all over the outskirts of Paris during the fall of 1944, waiting for supply trucks to carry them to the infantry units bogged down in the Rhineland, the Sarr, and the Hurtgen Forest. These mountains of supply were just waiting to be picked over by black-marketeers in uniform.

True story (hat tip: the late Steven Ambrose in Citizen Soldiers): an American Red Cross ambulance is moving through the night during the fighting in the bocage country in the Summer of 1944. It starts raining. The Americans come to a checkpoint and stop. Unfortunately, when the driver opens the door, he finds that he's run smack dab into a bunch of grenadier from Panzer Lehr division. One of the Germans speaks up and tells the American to "turn around and go back to your lines. We don't shoot Red Cross." The Germans laugh it off and mark it down to a clueless American driver.

A half hour later, the same meatwagon with the big Red Cross shows up to the German lines. The Wehrmacht are astonished as the same driver opens up his back door, dumps carton after carton of American cigarettes on the ground, gets in his vehicle and drives away.

We had enough supplies to share with the Germans. That's how obscenely well supplied we were in that war.

The line infantry hated them worse than they hated the Germans. It was the Milo Minderbinders of the world who always got the best socks, the woolen overcoats, the best food, first call on the Chesterfields, and of course, all the good booze.

John Kerry is a Milo Minderbinder. He doesn't want this to get out. He's desperately insecure, and afraid that every vet in the world will see him as the jaunty officer In the Rear With the Gear who always wore the pressed khakis. Of course, Kerry wasn't in the rear, but the mindset is there.

Kerry was aware of the rules. The New York Minute that he got his third PH he was out of there. How many young platoon leaders and NCO's stayed in Indochina after their third wound? Eh? I bet a bunch did. Bull Simon, "Iron Mike" Healy, more Marine NCO's than I can count.

It's the prospect that he's going to get caught campaigning for medals that drives him to unleash the hounds.

But in the end, people, Kerry has built a legend around his Vietnam service that was, perhaps, unwarranted. He asked for this, but he didn't have to. He made it the central plank of his campaign persona because it's what makes him a man. It's what seperates him from Theresa, who doesn't have to remind him every day that she has the money, and he doesn't.

If there is no heroic Prince Hal, all that's left is Milo Minderbinder.

He didn't have to try to shit on President Bush's service record. He did because he was too insecure not to try. And now I think I've figured out why he would do something so stupid.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

This is all planned by the Dems,the rage of CarVILE, and the rage of Chris Matthews. The talking over, cutting off, shouting, accusing, getting in O'Neill's face. All of this is planned so that anyone listening to the programs won't hear what O'Neill is saying (the truth) so they hope. Make the story sound confusing because they interrupt so much that the listeners can't get a clear picture of what happened, and what Kerry really did. Another typical slimy dem tactic to obfuscate the truth. Kudo's to O'Neil, a real trooper. May he live through all these talking head programs without getting a heart attack. He gets better audience on the radio, where the SwiftVets are getting lots of positive play. Hopefully will make up for the hatchet job that all the liberal talking heads will be doing on him from now until the election.

"I heard that MSNBC may be terminated. What happens to Chris Matthews if that happens?

Hahahahahaha. LOL! That one cracks me up. Wish it was true.

Heard Rush as well. I was wrong about O'Neill's walk in the park, but at least Crossfire prepared him for this...though Crossfire was 2 against 2. BTW, I'm in NJ too...
