Chris failed (miserably) to recognize the FACT that he had a Vietnam veteran seated right in front of him who served his country in Vietnam LONGER than Kerry did.
Chris Matthews is a Kerry supporter. O'Neill is going to have to start getting louder and fight back harder if he is going to go against the likes of Carville and Matthews. O'Neill is a gentleman and Carville and Matthews hate that. At the end Matthews did his stupid schtick by not letting his guest talk and talking over him to prove a point. And conveniently the time was up.
Thank you! That point didn't occur to me tonight, though watching other shows (O'Reilly springs to mind) I've noticed how some say you can't question someone who served like John Kerry, all the while questioning those who served like these Swift Vets.
