you are doing a crappy job of advertising your radio show, why don't you consistently alert readers what time EST it is playing, describe which channel on rightalk homepage to click on to listen.

Wait, I agree with that. We got a pre-show thread but no link to the show!

Clicking over to Karol's is well and good, but it should be easier.

I linked to rightalk, didn't I?

Incidentally, this email came up on RedState too, if you want to spread the word.

Yeah, but then that post got buried. You're dealing with a bunch of morons here, remember!

Posting the graphic would help.

Well, Matthews is just being Matthews. NewsMax (yeah, yeah, I know) is reporting that fellow "hard-ass" Rep. Murtha is also just playing his role: He called for pullout from Somalia. And, from what the articles implies, that was before the Blackhawk Down incident.

someone:
I'm listening to the show now (9:22 est).
Go to right talk,. It plays on the hour for 24 hours.

Chris Matthews was on Dennis Prager's show this morning to explain himself. He said his remarks were taken out of context. (IMHO, he also sounded awfully thin-skinned in a "why are you criticizing me?" kind of way, but that's just my opinion.)

I expect there will be a transcript somewhere on the Web shortly, if there isn't one already.

Matthews loves to hammer people and whine on and on about Bush....but looks like he doesnt take it very well.

C'mon, Chris. You said it. Stand by it.

I think I understand Chris' (current?) view now:

insurgents = those who only attempt to kill clearly identified US troops

[and]

terrorists= those who kill everyone else (and maybe some US troops if they get lucky).

Sort-of, kind-of like what was said in that Cairo conference statement.

the "insurgents in Iraq" are "not evil-- they just have a different perspective" and these are not the same as Al Qaeda, despite the fact they call themselves "Al Qaeda in Iraq."

Something around half the population of Iraq feels it is justified to attack US forces there.

Al Qaeda was not in Iraq prior to the invasion.

Millions of Iraqis have not joined Al Qaeda.

Do the math.

Well you know, millions of Iraqis haven't saved a whole bunch of money with Geico either.

You forgot to call him:

Chrissy "I squat to pee" Matthews.

Tubino,

Zarqawi took refuge in Iraq in 2002, seeking treatment for wounds received fighting the US in Afghanistan

http://www.techcentralstation.com/092503F.html

Zarqawi murdered American diplomat Lawrence Foley in September 2002, probably from a base in Iraq

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/zarqawi.htm

American troops apprehended an al-Qaeda terrorist in Iraq after the invasion, who was recuperating from an amputation. He had been in Iraq and obviously received support from the state months prior to the invasion.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/29/sprj.irq.terrorist.capture/

Aside from al-Qaeda terrorists, Saddam's Iraq harbored and gave refuge to a number of Arab/Muslim terrorists including Abu Nidal, the guy who pulled off the attack on the Achielle Lauro, and the guy who bombed the WTC in 1993.

Not to mention, Saddam paid off suicide bombers' families. And was suspected of developing WMDs. Add all this, then pile in 9/11 and the scope and scale terrorism had been allowed to take by 2001. All of this amounted to very bad news and a massive national security hazard that had been tolerated for far too long.

Moonbat_One,

Yes, I know. US passed up opportunity to nail Zarqawi because it would weaken the case for war.

The rest of your rehash changes nothing, except to remind us that Bush has turned Iraq into a MUCH greater security threat.

Now Cheney can plausibly tell us we are in Iraq to prevent it from becoming the threat it never was. Read what I linked to, and you'll see that Bush concealed the info that Saddam was likely monitoring Al Qaeda -- to ensure they didn't get a foothold in Iraq (would threaten his reign). Bush created the conditions for Al Q to exert some influence, while SCIRI wins major seats, and Iraq becomes an ally of Iran...

80% of Iraqis want the US out.

You cannot argue with it. It will move goalposts, beat up strawmen, and if cornered, outright ignore hard historical evidence proving that it is wrong.

Starve it.

There was no link to terrorism and if there was, the Bush administration is to blame for not removing the threat instead of using it to justify this illegal war in Iraq, which had no links to terrorism!

Liberals - even though I said those exact words, that is not what I meant.

Liberals about Conservatives - even though you did not use those words, we know what you meant.

Trent Lotts one sentence turned into 500 word columns about what he meant.

GWB's sixteen words in the SOU speech was rewritten by critics because they knew what he really meant.

But of course, Matthews perspective comment, Durbins nazi comment, Kerry's voting comment, Byrds white nigger comment, Kennedy's Texas conspiracy comment, Kunnich's Iraq comment, etc, etc. etc. , were exact words that were merely just misinterpreted by us morons.

You have to change that description from hissy-fits to "Chrissy-fits." ;)

He also compared them to the Founding Fathers

Do you realize that before 1865 there was no KKK in the South? I blame Lincoln.
