The irrefutable fact that President Obama never portrayed himself as a dove and certainly hasn’t governed as one indicates this is just the latest Matthews Democratic Party cheap shot that only serves to reinforce the inside the beltway elite worldview.

While both parties are clearly owned and enthralled by corporate power, whether the Military Industrial Complex, the Health Care Complex, or Financial Services Complex, our collective intelligence is assaulted by main street pundits convinced War and Finance are the domain of Republicans.

Which is exactly how we got into an illegal war and destroyed the economy. Good job “Liberal” commentator! No comment on Obama’s “package”?

Ironic that Van Susteren homes in on Matthews remark, while Limbaugh (who basically is on her show one way or another every other night) wants West Point graduates to kill Obama so we have a military coup.

Matthews is an idiot. Plain and simple. Calling the US Military Academy at West Point is simply offensive and stupid. It shows how he really feels and his total lack of respect or appreciation for the commitment our military makes the day they put the uniform on.

This is not one that an “apology” will cover.

@JimR: Spot on. Obama never ran as a total dove and that drives the far left like Matthews and Olbermann crazy. Same as everything Obama drives the right crazy.

@m: Well, duh. Fox not criticizing fat blowhard Limbaugh. As if Greta is an actual journalist and not a glorified gossip monger.

This simply plays to my basic thesis: The entire pundocracy is way more of a problem than the government. Since they are not accountable and enjoy (but do not respect) Constitutional protection, they lie and make idiotically extreme statements like Matthews’ “enemy camp” and Limbaugh’s calls for a military coup. The left and right pundits do more to stir up irrational fear and anger. And they do it for ratings. Not to improve the nation, not for the good of anybody. Nope. They do their damage to the nation for the modern day equivalent of thirty pieces of silver.

Both sides are very, very bad for America and profit from divisiveness and strife. Hate, lies and false fears are the pundits’ inventory and they are constantly playing those for their own benefit.

A really really offensive and stupid statement.

Chris should apologies on air today.

I listen to Rush every day and I have never heard him say anything about anyone killing Obama, let alone our awesome men and women at West Point. I challenge you to provide any proof to your claim that Rush wants Obama to be killed. Are you intellectually honest enough to provide proof of what you claim or you just another weak lib that will say ANYTHING to lather up their drones? Anyone not too close to the “Light” can see MSNBC’s agenda displayed by all of their “commentators” on a daily basis. Only the kool-aid drinkers listen or care what Chris Metthews(Since he cant say Chaney) thinks or says.

This is typical.

Okay I missed something. I have not seen anything in the news with Limbaugh call for the death of the president and urging the military to stage a coup. Please direct me to the date(s) this was said so I can hear it for myself, or is this a gross distortion?

Mathews comment fits in exactly with the liberal elites view of the military. Obama feels the same way about private industry : ref his book where he referred to working in a law office as “working behind enemy lines”. The use of the venue of West Point was a blatant attempt to give legitimacy to his delay in making a decision, otherwise he could have given the same speech from the Oval Office. He was trying to give the public he was working with the military, when this decision was made by him on the advice of his elite advisors. Think about it. He had no choice but to grant the request. If he failed to provide troops as requested he was taking charge without sufficient resources to accomplish the current task. He could no longer continue to blame it on the prior administration for under-staffing the war. The only question became how many? By reducing the number he gives the appearance of careful consideration as to how many trrops were really needed – in his “qualified” opinion. By adding his exit strategy he has an out in the event it proves he did not send enough resources to do the job. He will blame it on the Afgan government and pull out.

Mathews did not misspeak but rather slipped up and actually gave us the truth in the left’s view of the military. And the current President is far more left than moderate.

Suffice it to say that the military mind is the narrowist mind of all. Forever been that way. Always knew that. Been there – done that. Their world is as narrow as a single pencil stroke. West Point is tough. But it is/they are completetly isolated from the real world. There is no understanding or comprehension. Thus do we have 1950′s generals like Petreus & McChrystal calling the shots. The days of “butt-kicking” are long over.
We keep playing our OJT games over there – and Iran will inflict a devastating defeat upon the U.S. in that region – and take the fight to the U.S. across the entire Middle East. And world opinion will be inflamed against America.

It’s easy to understand why Obama was so uneasy and uncharacteristically wooden in his speech last light. Chris Matthews had it right. Obama was on the enemy’s turf. Make no mistake, there is a war afoot right here in the U.S.A. (still a cold war for the most part, fortunately). On one side is the Constitutional American government and the People who hold allegiance to it; on the other side is a gaggle of zealots intent on surplanting American Rule of Law with a neo-Communistic system. The West Point cadets are sworn to defend the former; Obama is allied with the latter. Doubtless, he’s in a curiously uncomfortable position: the de facto leader of an anti-American insurgency while at the time serving as the American Commander in Chief. It will get particularly interesting when the U.S. military ultimately gets around to taking its oath literally and seriously: a promise to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” I suppose the hardest question is deciding which category Obama falls into–foreign or domestic.

“Suffice it to say that the military mind is the narrowist mind of all. ”

Said like a true lib who likely never fought for anything in his life and probably hid under the table during 9/11. Libs are really struggling with Obama turning out to be such an empty suit. Therefore, they try to deflect attention towards Limbaugh, Palin, Republicans, Bush, Fox News and anything else to take the focus off an inept president. The left thought they got their guy in office; one who is a deep thinker, loved by the world, pragmatic and could push America in the right direction. Instead, they got an idealistic child who’s views clash with a realistic world.

His no real-world experience shows its ugly face daily as this guy couldn’t make money on a kool-aid stand. He can’t run a $1B cash-for-clunkers program, a $3B cash-for-clunkers program, bought into Gore’s fraudulant GW program, is inept handling the military and caught up in his own campaign rhetoric, is all talk and no action on anything, stupid enough to think the world will suddenly be peaceful just because he is president, can’t provide a consistent vision for healthcare reform, takes no responsibility for anything, cries like a little boy at any criticism, can’t move an economy with $800B stimulus, and can’t figure out why businesses aren’t hiring in an environment of higher taxes, higher healthcare, more gov’t and higher energy. He’s accomplished nothing and libs can’t articulate why this guy is good for the economy or for this country. He’s nothing but an empty suit and libs know it…..therefore, focus attention elsewhere when possibly.

I read he walked the statement back, but did he apologize? Perhaps tonight he will, but then again, perhaps not.

Face it. The last time the leadership of the American Democrat Party was on the side of the US Military was when we were in a War against the NAZI army and allied with the Soviet Union. The were upset about Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War and any war occuring while a Republican is President. They are just afraid to admit it because the US voters would revolt and throw them out. The enemy of my friends is my enemy. Chris Mathews would like the security codes to be changed from Red, Orange, Yellow and Green to: Run, Hide, Surrender, and Collaborate to keep instep with his actions from earlier years.
