Comrade Chris Matthew's Hero!

A couple weeks ago according to Comrade Chris the US Military Academy at West Point was the "enemy camp", then about ten days ago while commiserating with fellow travelers Salon.com’s Joan Walsh and AOL PoliticsDaily.com/ NYTimes/Huffingtonpost.com’s Melinda Henneberger; he removes all doubt when he states “It`s complicated when liberals get to keep score. We`re always arguing. Well, I`m a liberal, too. You are watching HARDBALL, only on MSNBC. “

http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/checker.aspx?v=GdaGZu2GZu


Then this evenings broadcast while Comrade Chris and Comrade Bernie Sanders (I) VT.
waxes on poetically with Bernie about their heroes from the past:

“Well, to reach back to one of our heroes from the past, from the 60’s, Saul Alinsky once said that even though both sides have flaws in their arguments and you can always find something nuanced about your own side you don’t like and its never perfect you have to act in the end like there is simple black and white clarity between your side and the other side or you don’t get anything done. I always try to remind myself of Saul Alinsky when I get confused. But congratulations to you sir, you weren’t confused in these last couple days”


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCryNzrcxWY

Later in this same broadcast Comrade Chris claims “the Party of Lincoln has become the party of the confederacy"

Matthews: Are you building the right kind of Republican Party, or are you building a party off of the discards of the Democrats, are you gonna keep building your party with dixiecrats, ex-Democrats who think the Democratic Party is too mainstream, that's how you've been doing it since the 60s, Since the 60s, you've built a political party, the Party of Lincoln has become the party of I don’t know, probably the party of the confederacy"

What's your problem? You don't appear to be a conservative, what do you have against liberals?

I also don't understand your point. Are you disagreeing with something they said or just pointing out the fact that they are liberals?

Re: people that see, (and label) "Communists" everywhere

Joe Mc Carthy died in 1957, but I see his spirit lives on, evidently.

Good ol' Joe is why we got into Viet Nam. His righthand man was RM Nixon. Poetic justice at its best.

Time for a history lesson: Kennedy got us in, Johnson got us in BIGGER and Nixon got us out.

Perhaps the reference was to the "Red Scare" that was being fostered in the 50's and 60's. Eisenhower was notably dubious about "a land war in Asia" in light of the experiences of the Korean Conflict.

As for Nixon getting us out . . . let's just say it wasn't for lack of trying to keep us in and expanding the battlefields.

The thing that people forget about ole Joe is that he was factually right. The US State Dept had been infiltrated by Communist agents. After the fall of the USSR, a lot of "secret" stuff came to light that verified much of Joe's charges.
His manner was poor, and he looked bad on TV, and as noted above liberals DO keep score, and eventually settle accounts.

Don't sweep, under the carpet, that he was mostly wrong. The end justifying the means historical view overlooks the depth and breadth of the damage done by the junior senator from Wisconsin.

I was attempting to balance the portrait of the Senator. Too often people skewer him and laugh at his charges. Skewer him for his tactics, if you will, but the evidence from the former USSR proves that he was more correct than in error.

Liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.
