Chris Matthews: We Might Be The Bad Guys
Posted by Geoffrey Dickens on June 12, 2006 - 16:52.

Looks like Chris Matthews really isn't sure who the good guys are in Iraq. Over the weekend on his syndicated show Chris Matthews speculated that after Haditha the public may realize: "that we might be the bad guys." After brushing over the success of killing Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Matthews asked the panel about the political damage done by Haditha:

Chris Matthews: "Let me talk about Haditha or ask you to talk about Haditha. It seems to me a lot of people would like to have some reason to get out of Iraq. We can't win is a good reason. There's too much bloodshed would be a good reason. But on the other hand, the difficulty of the task is an argument for a lot of people to stay in. ‘We know it's tough,' the President says. ‘We know we're taking casualties, but we gotta win this one and these people are sacrificing their lives and their family members for this work. All the more reason to stick with the fight.' But there's one thing that turns people off. The sense that we might be the bad guys. My Lai, Haditha. In your reporting for Time, do you think Haditha is gonna measure up to one of those pivotal moments where ya say, ‘This war smells bad, it tastes bad. We're getting into situations of counterinsurgency, which are brutal. We don't want to be there.'"

He's also using Haditha as his best example, which is now being shown to be a hoax. When will Chris be admitted into the loony bin?

The guy has no audience. He is just talking to himself. Ignore the moron.

Does anyone feel the need to watch the Sunday morning talk shows anymore? For a long time, I always made sure to tune them in. But now, with the 24 hour media, talk shows everynight on Fox/CNN/MSNBC/CNBC/ect, talk radio, the internet, ect. I just don't see any reason to do so.

In the rare event something newsworthy happens, I'll read about it in a couple hours anyway. Most of the time it's just liberal talking heads whacking each other off, or politicians from both sides of the aisle issuing the same talking points I'd heard before the weekend.

I do try to watch MacLaughlin, because I still find that entertaining.

You're exactly right. Who's more informed on daily events, the typical lib who watches the evening news, or the guy (like me) who watches Fox in the morning, checks NewsMax throughout the day, sprinkles in Rush Limbaugh and Hannity, and gets email updates?

For that matter, who's more inspired at the end of the day? Who's more gloom and doom? Duh.
