It is of particular insult to hear Chris Matthews suggest that President Barack Obama is somehow doing the bidding of Iraq War neocons, especially knowing that, while Barack Obama was against the war in Iraq, Matthews was lavishing praise on the individuals who were the architects of that ugly misadventure.
Yesterday on his MSNBC program Matthews unleashed an ugly tribal tirade at the President and U.S. Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY) for using the term “homeland” to geographically differentiate the United States from the Middle East as it relates to the activities of Islamic terrorist group ISIS.
In a broadcast that also featured Seattle Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) and journalist David Corn of Mother Jones, Matthews described the President as adopting neocon language, a' la George W. Bush, to make his case against ISIS, an utterly ridiculous assertion, and one he has been offensively promulgating against the President for weeks.
