Watching Chris Matthews today one could easily forget the role he played as water carrier for the right wing during the Clinton years.
During those embryonic days of the Internet in 1998, what we now call 'concern trolls' routinely cited Matthews attack on Clinton as representing the voice of true Democrats. They repeated that one who worked for Jimmy Carter and Tip O'Neil was pointing out that Clinton should be booted out of office.
Later, Matthews made no attempt to hide is dislike of VP Al Gore and his admiration of the AWOL drunk, GW Bush. Matthews, IIRC, said that VP Gore would have the indecency to take the oath of office if he lost the popular vote.
Thousands of Americans died because an AWOL drunk and his band of clowns were in power in 9/11/2001. Matthews did his level best to maker sure those clowns were in power. Let us not forget that unlike Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, the GOP was terrified of attacking Islamic fundamentalists The official policy of the GOP is to negotiate and grovel before terrorists.
Matthews lauded the AWOL drunk in 2003 after the Mission Accomplished banner.
Let the record show, that Matthews was a strong supporter for nearly 10 years of the likes of "GOP before USA" types as Dan Burton, Chuckie Krauthammer, and Dan Senor.
All patriotic Americans should shudder that the MSNBC carries the ilk of Matthews not once but twice every day,
