After seeing Chris Matthews show his true colors during the Michelle Malkin "interview," I did something I almost never do...I sent him an email to let him know what a slimeball he is. I know he wont read, but they can add up emails, so I hope Swifty supporters will do the same. Email below:

-----------------------------------------------------

Mr. Matthews,

You supported and worked for the worst, most anti-American, most hard-left president in American history. He asked for help from the Soviets (!!!) to defeat Reagan's bid for the presidency, he gave away the Panama Canal (which is now largely controlled by the Communist Chinese), he sold out Israel and worked for their demise, and now he is busy certifying the fraudulent election of soon to be Communist dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Now that you have become a schill for Jimmy Carter II (John Kerry), you wittingly support a man who stabbed all Vietnam Vets/POWs in the back, worked directly with the Vietnamese Communists as a Naval Reservist to ensure our defeat in Vietnam, and who contributed to millions of deaths in Vietnam, Laos, and the killing fields of Cambodia. That not only makes Kerry a liar and a scoundrel, it also makes him a traitor who should have been Court Martialed, and, if found guilty, given a long jail term or executed. You, sir, have put yourself in league with this residual puddle of a human being. You should be ashamed of yourself. But I am sure you, like Kerry, have a clear conscience because you, like Kerry, have no conscience at all. A pox on you and your entire "family" of hate-America subversives.

Do you believe in the first Amendment ? People have a right to give their views We do not have to click our heels and say "Heil Kerry" . it is illegal for Bush to control a 527 group so he can't tell them to stop running their ads. Why didn't you cry when Kerry was attacking Bush's national Guard service?

My contribution to the fray is below.

I am sorry to say: Yes, I lost my cool. Chris almost deliberately misunderstood (and is now misrepresenting) what Michelle was trying to say about Kerry's self-inflicted wounds.

Chris,

Anyone who reads the "Unfit For Command" book, and any halfway intelligent civilian who has been around military people for 30 seconds, knows that the term "self-inflicted wound" means ACCIDENTALLY self-inflicted. You know the latter word, right? A-C-C-I-D-E-N-T-A-L? As in, getting hit INADVERTENTLY by shrapnel from your own grenade? That is the Swift Vets' charge. John Kerry ACCIDENTALLY self-inflicted 2 of his 3 Purple Heart wounds in Viet Nam - that is, John Kerry A-C-C-I-D-E-N-T-A-L-L-Y received shrapnel from his own grenade blasts, and that is a CLEAR VIOLATION of the criteria for the Purple Heart award (which are only given for enemy-inflicted wounds). You were disgracefully rude to Michelle Malkin who was trying to explain that point.

[kmudd]

Matthews didn't show on his show tonight. I wonder if it was because he was so nuts.

[IpsoFacto]

Chris is embarrased and he is a coward. that is why he did not showed up tonite.

Rush made peaces out of him in his show today. He inverviewed the poor woman he treated so badly last night and now everyone knows that he is nothing but an arm of the Democratic party on MSNBC.

[CandiM]

I sent mine this afternoon--Frankly, I used to rather like to watch Matthews because he used to provide a significantly more balanced program than he does now--It has, however, become increasingly strident and one-sided (that would be the LEFT side, of course)--Still, I watched sometimes because I want to know what the other side is saying--

No more--He can count one less number in his ratings--Malkin didn't exactly do an outstanding job, but the way he was bullying her, I can't say I think I'd have done much better--

Shame on him!--C
________________________________________________________

"Mr. Matthews--

After your shameful treatment of Michelle Malkin last night, I'm afraid that you've lost yet another viewer permanently--And, since I've always thought that Dan Abrams is a certifiable moron, Joe Scarborough's program is often just a shout fest reminiscent of The Jerry Springer show, I have personal reasons for having a deep dislike for Deborah Norville being that I'm from Chicago and have first-hand knowledge of the despicable way that she is known to treat people when she's not on camera and, though I was initially very pleased to see Keith Olbermann return to MSNBC, I tired very quickly of the contrived format and his sneering dopiness and seemingly constant need to bash the competition and, hence, stopped watching his show after a few weeks, yours was the last MSNBC program that I watched regularly.......or ever for that matter--

So MSNBC has lost me as a viewer entirely and, as I said, permanently--It has become perfectly obvious to me that MSNBC.......and you.......have become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the DNC and really have no interest anymore in informing, just browbeating and pushing a political agenda--

One piece of advice, however--A commentator of your stature ought to know this, but you would be well-advised to actually READ the book before you set about trying to discredit it--Had you done so (and we now know that you don't even have a copy to which you can refer!!) you would have KNOWN what the swiftboat vets are referring to when they make reference to "self-inflicted" injuries instead of making a fool of yourself on-air--For the record, no one ever said that any of Kerry's wound were intentionally self-inflicted or where self-inflicted in order to get himself a commendation--Had you just shut up for 30 seconds last night and let Ms. Malkin finish a sentence, you might have found that out--

Oh, and when you challenge an on-air guest to explain herself, you should allow her to do that rather than interrupting her, talking over her, and putting words in her mouth that were never there in the first place—You’ve become nothing but a belligerent blowhard who adds little to the political discourse in this Country other than throwing fuel on the fire of divisiveness and I don't need that kind of nonsense in my life—

Sad to see what your show has become--You could be so much better--In fact, you used to be--

Over and out--

Candi M"

I recommend that everyone read Michelle Malkin's post about her experience on Mathew's show.

Here's an excerpt that you might not have heard about:]

[hanna]

This is a letter I sent to Olderman tonight. I am so sick of these guys I could PUKE, and so sorry Matthews is not there so I can write to him. Interesting that he is not there. Hmmmm....my thoughts are making me smile:)

Sir, your reporting on this Swift Boat story is appalling. If you call what you do “journalism” you need to revisit your dictionary. I have never seen such an outright and blatant example of bias reporting in my life. The hate and anger you people display is shameful.

You have not gotten a single aspect of this story right, and in fact, you have done everything possible to twist and turn things to achieve your own goals. I cannot believe that a man of your age and intelligence cannot see what an utter fool you are making of yourself. It really is sad and pathetic.

When this is all over I hope you are out pounding the pavement for a job and hopefully it won’t be in journalism because you sir are no journalist.

[You GottaBeKidding]

The sad thing is that over on DU, they're talking about how stupid Malkin looked and what a great job Matthews did. Of course, they said the same thing about Carville and Davis.

It appears that their idea of winning involves shouting down the opponent rather than winning on merit.

Of course, those are the same people who voted for Clinton for two terms.

[DADESID]

I sent one to him, too..

****************

Mr. Matthews,

I used to enjoy watching your Hardball program, but after your despicable performance with Michelle Malkin as a "guest", I'm done with you.

You outed yourself as a vicious partisan.

Yeah, I know... free speech...

My dad fought in Europe in WW2 and died in Korea so that pukes like you can try to demagogue the people.

You really are confused. Michelle Malkin is THE leading journalist working in the area of the immigration debacle. I've followed most of her career and found her to be fair and thourough. Chris Matthews badgered her into a yes or no answer when she simply tried to restate what she had read. He unfairly drowned her out as he can since it's his show but he also lost many fans. As has been stated in many other places on this web site, "self-inflicted" injuries may be either "on purpose" or accidental. Michelle Malkin has no way of knowing because she, like many of us and certainly Chris Matthews, was not there. Matthews unfair? Yes because he reneged on the agreement to have her back on his part 2 for a discussion of her new book.

Confused, yes, you are certainly confused. When the truth hits you about
Kerry, you will be even more confused.
Matthews was rude, obnoxious and WRONG last night. He behaved like a
three year old whose sucker has been taken away and Michelle paid the
price for his lack of control.
She can outalk and thinker faster than he ever could, he just never
shut up. By the way, the deal was they would talk about her book in the
next segment, but he just said "you're off" and had her escorted away
to top all that slime he then stole her copy of Unfit for Command as he
HAS never READ the book.
Please there is no confusion in this story, he behaved in a manner that
should have resulted in HIM being taken off the show, not Michelle.

She has stated that she was booked on the show to promote her book, but knew that there would be some questions about the swiftees. She is not a spokesperson for them.

No one, including the book has stated that Kerry's self-inflicted wounds were intentional. Mathews tried to get a 3rd party to say that Kerry did it on purpose, probably so he could discredit her and carry that over to the switftees. If Kerry is elected I can almost guarantee that Mathews will get a job in his admin.

Jobs, that is why the demos, Crazy Carville & Luney Laney, are literally screaming in John O'Neill's face. They don't care about anybody's jobs but their own.

At least the swiftees have not said that Kerry raped, murdered and plundered, now THAT is a smear.

[Tom Poole]

Dear confused, honey you reamin so. In case you had not noticed, this forum is about Swiftees opposed to Kerry. 'Nuff said.
