American Entropy: Matthews asks a good question!

25 August 2005

Matthews asks a good question!

I used to love watching Hardball on MSNBC, but after the War on Iraq began Chris began sounding like a conservative cheerleader. Now his show is almost unbearable and he has become another O'Reily or Hannity (well that is a lil unfair but you understand). I suspect that some of this shift is to attract a more conservative audience as Olberman has the progressive PoV locked up. Any way Col. Pat Lang was on Hardball and posted the text on his site, which had some statements from Chris which resembled the old guy I remembered long ago. Maybe Chris is getting his backbone back! Matthews said:

Why does the president keep issuing statements saying they`re terrorists; they`re the guys that came after us on 9/11; they`re from outside; we have got to stop them there or stop them here? Nobody has ever accused Iraqis of coming to America and attacking us. Why doesn`t the president say, we`re going after Iraqi insurgents and fighting them? Why doesn`t he -- why does he keep saying we`re fighting terrorists along the lines of the ones we had attack us 9/11?

BTW, Lang's contributions were on the money; it's a good read if you missed it.
