Here's what NoonzWire's favorite jackass had to say this time:
In a speech to political science students at the University of Toronto yesterday, the host of the CNBC current affairs show Hardball had plenty of harsh words for U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the political climate that has characterized his country for the past few years.
"The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn't a robust discussion of what we were doing," Matthews said.
"If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we've given up. The person on the other side is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."
This is all less shocking when you consider that the person making these statements is the same Chris Matthews who compared the Iranian hostage-takers of 1979 to figures from the American Revolution.
Matthews is just another extreme liberal who cannot envision America as ever being on the right side of any given issue. His hostility towards anyone with whom he disagrees is common knowledge. It seems that every time Chris opens his mouth in public, it only serves to further marginalize his credibility on matters important to the nation.
Michelle Malkin, using a single photo from 9/11 to make her point, smashes Matthews' idiotic assessment to bits right here.
If, as Matthews says, the other side is not evil, then I guess it is OK to blow up buses and marketplaces, terrorize policemen and lawyers, car-bomb American military forces, behead innocent civilians on tape, shoot election workers for the benefit of AP photo-Pulitzer-hunters, and murder, burn and hang civilian contractors.
No. Nothing evil about that at all.
The only thing we need to figure out about the other side is how to kill them as quickly and efficiently as possible. How's that for perspective?
Update: Matthews has emailed the guys at Power Line in an attempt to set the record straight about what he said. Color me skeptical. Rob's coverage of this development is here.
