I don't look for crissy to be the the air much longer unless he finds  new object of hatred, Rush has refused to lower himself to crissy's level by not responding to his non-sense, and the liberals I know are even getting tired of the conspiracy theories.

 than water-boarding, can we please just give it a rest, libs? I lived from real torture, and for Chrissy and the gang to whine about this, just makes me sick. And that tired out old story about Valerie Plame. Yikes Stripes! Everyone in America with 6 working brain cells knows what happened in that story, so it is not necessary for them to keep on and on. Anyway, what idiot doesn't want murderers/potential murderers to be roughed up a little? Personally I'd go for roughed up a lot. So, yeah, if Obama keeps up the tradition of rendition or whatever we need to do to get info, more power to him. Nice to see him possibly doing something I agree with.

Don't need much more proof than this

''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.'' 

I have noticed something since the turn of the century, & Mathews just did it again...

There are many on the liberal/progressive/ left who want take a stand & fight things that are no real threat to them. Like Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Condi, El-Rushbo, Hannity, Global Warming, FoxNews, Capitalism, Israel/Zionists, Wal-Mart, SUVs, & our military are just a few examples of things that they see as threats to America.

At the same time, they downplay things like Radical Islamic Terrorists, Iran, the ChiComs, Russia, the war on our southern border, illegals sucking up our resources, black-on-black crime, North Korea, & illegal drugs & the violence that goes with it are played down or ignored.

People like Mathews, BathTubBoy, Moyers, the NYSlimes, & the rest of the MSM & "progressive" media types attack what they do because they know nothing will happen to them. If they wet after our ACTUAL enemies/problems, they would need 24/7 security. Look, Scooter Libby ain't gonna do jack to Mathews & he knows it. If he went after saaay, the Mexican drug gangs who are at war with the Mexican gov't & our US Border Agents, he might have a problem. They might go after him or his family. These are people who are kindnapping or killing whoever gets in their way. People who have denounced radical islamic wackjobs have been attacked or killed, or live in constant fear of attack. Last example, remember all the gays protesting outside of LDS churches after prop8? Why did they go after them, not blacks who voted against them at a 75% clip? The mormans will do nothing back, if they protested outside of black churches in black neiborhoods, they might very well get their @$$ kicked.

Whatever & whoever the left in this nation attacks, you know that it's no real threat to whatever they say it is threatening. Whatever they downplay is probably an actual threat to America's way of life.

A little bit crude, but very funny - and accurate.

I thought the same thing when I read this.  Liberals despise their own fellow citizens who disagree idealogically from them and seel to punish them but give the proven enemies of America the benefit of doubt (no pre-conditions to talk to Iran, for example).  They also react with such vitriol regarding a citizen who speaks his opinions on a radio program, knowing what he says is not what they claim he says.  And they obviously believe waterboarding produces good intel, but when it is used against our enemies, they will not allow it.  Liberals so often swerve into the truth and reality but are so wrapped up in their lies and fantasy they never realize it.

The difference between Chris Matthews and a carp is; one is a scum sucking bottom dweller and the other is a fish!

Waterboarding would be too good for him. I'm somewhere between putting him into an iron maiden or showing him his ratings. Since bleeding him out would really be torture, I'll settle for showing him his ratings & let him be depressed about how poorly he is doing. That & show him charts that track the price of GE stock.

I think he should have pardoned Libby as well.  I was surprised and disappointed that he didn't.  I think the beating he took over the years w/the war, torture, Gitmo, economic troubles, etc. (let's not forget Plame) just got to him and he finally caved to the political pressure. 

He knew he would be hammered by the press if he pardoned Libby and with the burgeoning economic crisis I guess he just didn't feel like he could give the press more ammunition against him. 

As much as I like Bush, I think this was a big mistake.  He always seemed to do what was right regardless of what the press said.  Not this time is seems. 

On you first, after all it's not torture, right?

"We are so screwed" - Me, Nov 5, 2008 

This should be OK since it's not torture, right?

As usual, bal, you come in on the other side, just as a matter of principle.

But you're missing the point.

The point is not whether we think it's torture or not (or even if it is, in fact).  It's that Chris Matthews spoke out against it as torture, and opposed using it against suspected terrorists.  However, he doesn't mind using it for his own purposes.

Can you say "hypocrisy?"

That's what this is about.
