I know some of you may disagree since Matthews has been so forcefully anti-war...NOW
But dammit, I cannot stand hypocrisy.
And this man's blatant hypocrisy is sickening.
His use of yellow journalism is tiresome....

Caveat: I support John Edwards, I donate to John Edwards, and I like his health plan better, his labor issues better. However supporting Edwards does not mean I will accept blatant hypocrisy to promote abject and personal hatred against Hillary or Obama or any dem candidate. With that in mind, let me continue:
First of all, he did not mention the issue of the restoration of Habeas Corpus, as OJ was his lead story. THUMBS DOWN TO THE IDIOCY OF HIS PRODUCER.
Next the Webb Bill was debated with Wes Clark and Chris' regular neocon vet guy; that was decent because of Wes Clark and because NOW (as opposed to the first few years of shilling for his hero, Bush), Matthews is of course strongly anti-war.
But in the round table at the end, no time was given to really what is going on in Congress on the bills and why. He ends with: George Bush wins, game, set, match and in my opinion, that leaves uninformed Americans a false impression. Methinks Matthews is feigning his anti-war stance as a hedge just in case a dem is elected president.
Matthews big "political" deal today was connecting "sleaze" and Hillary. Now I know there are many Hillary haters here but dammit, she is still one of ours. And even worse, for all his bile against Hillary, he fails to remember his own sleazy love and support for Bush and his war when he drooled over dubya and his codpiece under the "Mission Accomplished" banner.
I do not give a crap who Matthews (or anyone here) loves or hates but Matthews is a liar and a hypocrite when he speaks about how he is proud to say he does not like any of the politicians. BULLSH*T! He is saying Americans don't like sleaze (right after his discussion with the round tabel about Hillary), and has the balls to say it is an insult to him if anyone accuses him of liking politicians.
Well, Matthews, here are INSULTS to you from moi;
**You, Mr. Matthews LOVE your buddy Tom Delay one of the most corrupt politicians ever to be elected.
**You, Mr. Matthews LOVED yourself some George W. Bush in his flight suit.
**You, Mr. Matthews LOVE some Fred Thompson and his "manly" smell.
**You, Mr. Matthews LOVE your macho Rudy and how he is a hero to you and most Americans (which tells me the kind of ignorance with which you surround yourself.).
How dare Matthews who is so in love with some of the sleaziest politicians ever, who trashed Gore every chance he got, who trashed Kerry every chance he got; who glorified Bush before the war, and all the way through the 2004 election get off on calling out "sleaze" on anyone.
I know the some here might think it is fair game. And were it a real journalist instead of a republican shill who has only recently changed his stance on the Iraq war, maybe it would be a legitimate discussion.
But with Matthews, just like with Scarborough (who loves to say no party owns him...what a crock), just like with any of the Bush shills, you have no right. Your hypocrisy is way too obvious and has hurt democracy.
