Matthews on West Point: Obama went to the “enemy camp” tonight, didn’t he?
posted at 9:18 pm on December 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
All he meant, I take it, is that the current commander-in-chief might not be Mr. Popularity among the presumably hawkish, right-leaning majority of cadets. But when your mouth is bigger than your brain, this is what happens. Twitter’s already buzzing about it so have at it. Exit question: How soon before the public apology? Middle segment on tomorrow night’s “Hardball”? Opening segment? Or does he take to the airwaves tomorrow morning and do the deed on “Morning Joe”?

I’m guessing Matthews’ idea of a friendly camp is one that features man/elf sex.
The Ugly American on December 1, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Kinsley! I was thinking Keynesian, but I knew that wasn’t right. Thank you.
Jim Treacher on December 1, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Point being, it’s what Chris Matthews really thought, and so did Obama, and so did those cadets. But nobody’s supposed to say it.
Jim Treacher on December 1, 2009 at 10:45 PM
I know. Matthews is stupid stupid, hence a stupid Joe Biden.

America’s West Point is considered the enemy camp only by America’s enemies.

Here we have the genesis of the colloquial “Why state the obvious?”.
BobMbx on December 1, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Here is an excerpt of what I just wrote to that mental deviant (and that is the description least likely to get me banned)
…Since you have just said that every cadet in West Point is a traitor to his or her oath, am I now free to question your patriotism? You, sir, are talking like an idiot…
talking_mouse on December 1, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Has anybody ever told you you’re sexy when you’re worked up like this? :D
Bizarro No. 1 on December 1, 2009 at 10:52 PM
And if the Messiah had gone to make a speech to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Tora Bora he would have been in a friendly camp?
Dr. ZhivBlago on December 1, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Chrissie Wissie who wouldn’t know a damn thing about honor, dedication or love of country calling West Point the enemy. That speeches about defending america were rable rousing when Bush held them at West Point. Please go home with your talking Obama doll and let your leg tingle.
Well Chrissie you dumb remark has raised the rable to want your butt canned. Maybe instead we should let Comcast fire you for having the worst ratings in primetime. I swear if I didn’t know better he did this so we would call and get him fired since he will probaly be kicked to the curb shortly anyway. That way he can blame the “rabble” for his firing.
Gracelynn on December 1, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Ooh…it’s 11:00, and Chrissy is back on. Opens with a Beatle quote.

I was already pissed that this jug eared idiot decided to use West Point as a photo op and backdrop for his sorry assed speech. This comment is too much for me to take.

Actually Matthews is right.
How right Matthews, Obambi, and the world will find out soon. Anyone want in on a Super Bowl pool?

MirCat on December 1, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Well, I just say the race-baiting spin doctor spoke the liberal mind. I certainly knew they hated the forces; he just slipped up and admitted it on television. Clinton considered the uniformed man the enemy, Carter was infuriated that he had to ‘grovel’ to them for a job, and Obama is the worst of both their worlds; a 60s black radical that ‘Peter Panned’, never maturing out of his childish cocoon world. Of course, as far as the Liberal Entertainment Complex is concerned, this never happened.
Virus-X on December 1, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Haha – the Boss on her blog implies Chrissie was upset Obama didn’t have to interrupt his speech with “Uhm, can we get some help? A group of female cadets just fainted over here.”
Marcus on December 1, 2009 at 11:15 PM
These 2012 ads are gonna be the longest ads ever.

I remember when Jesse Jackson came to speak at West Point. He got a cool reception. But not disrespectful.
tlynch001 on December 1, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Chrissie poo-poo brainiac.

I’ll bet Matthew’s ass is as big and ugly as his mouth.

I’m sorry folks for what I am about to say,
But Lord, please allow me to live to see the day that Chrissy Matthews and his ilk are dragged into the street and strung up like Mussolini!
conservnut on December 1, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Yet another in the seemingly endless stream of liberal Democrat reminders which reinforce what we all already know: the Democrats regard our military as the enemy, both politically and literally.
Jaibones on December 1, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Sooner or later our military are going to have to fulfill their oath and protect the constitution from those “domestic enemies”
I look forward to that day!
conservnut on December 1, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Oh, Chris, can’t you just shut up a minute and let people think you’re smarter than you look?
t.ferg on December 1, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Any truly worthwhile comment about Chrissy would probably get me banned. Too bad.
trigon on December 1, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Chrissy just said he may have used the wrong phrase….
d1carter on December 1, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Matthews says USMA is the enemy camp. What does that make the Taliban and Al Qaida to this leftist commentator? This is why you don’t elect a leftist (Obama)to the position of Commander in Chief.
stefano1 on December 1, 2009 at 11:36 PM
This assclown needs to resign. Period.
roninacreage on December 1, 2009 at 11:40 PM
Perhaps if Obama did not have the poor taste of masturbating himself in front of a live audience while looking at his image in a mirror he would have received more applause.
ray on December 1, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Matthews is trying to explain what he meant by this stupid statement. He has Paul Eaton on to bash the Republican party and the Bush Administration.
d1carter on December 1, 2009 at 11:43 PM
I am a disabled veteran. My son is an infantryman currently in Afghanistan. My father is a veteran of WWII, and his father of WWI.
I consider it a singular honor to be considered by Chris Mathews as a member of the enemy camp.
My son, myself, and my father, grandfather and on before him swore an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign, and domestic.
If Chris Mathews considers me an enemy, then what does that say about his tingle-leg buddy Obama?
Yeah… there it is folks, plain and simple, unadulterated.
AW1 Tim on December 1, 2009 at 11:44 PM
I think that Matthews gets it right. Patriots who serve their country are the enemy of Obama. Enemy camp indeed. Buen dicho señor.
Mojave Mark on December 1, 2009 at 11:52 PM
Thank you and your family for your service. Glad you are on our side.
publiuspen on December 1, 2009 at 11:52 PM
Aw Chris, no worries. With the current rules of engagement under which our brave men and women fight terrorists and other assorted bad guys, this CIC was safer than a infantryman at Fort Hood.

la.rt.wngr on December 2, 2009 at 12:22 AM
It takes someone who is disdainful of the military to make a statement like this.
Chris Matthews should take stock of exactly who provides the freedoms he enjoys to spout the brain-blastingly stupid stuff he does.
Intrepid on December 2, 2009 at 12:40 AM
The most shocking part is that the perenially deluded Matthews finally tipped his hand about what libs really believe.
PoodleSkirt on December 2, 2009 at 1:06 AM
What can I say that hasn’t already been said: Chris Matthews is an idiot. There. I engaged in redundancy! To all who serve and protect, from military to first responders, thanks for your service.
Driefromseattle on December 2, 2009 at 1:21 AM
“Rabble rouse”? rousing the “rabble” huh? I’m sure future officers would love to hear themselves called rabble. That’s why we have the system of officers (Gentlemen/educated) and enlisted (the uneducated rabble). Read Webster’s you jack-ass.
Big John on December 2, 2009 at 1:31 AM
You ain’t by any chance Lt Dan are you? Just kidding…twenty six years and retired for a year now here. At least Bush signed my retirement certificate and not this traitor-in-chief.
Big John on December 2, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Yes, the US (and particularly the US Military) is enemy territory for Western Leftist’s and Obama in particular.
Who knew?
EscapeVelocity on December 2, 2009 at 2:04 AM
Chris finally admits the phrase “liberals support the troops and not the war” is a total lie.
scotash on December 2, 2009 at 2:43 AM
Kinsey, Keynesian, both are perverse in their own way.
Though the original term is Freudian slip.

Matthews just slipped and said what all Democrats (including Obama) really feel. It’s why they work so hard to make sure that military votes don’t get counted.
AZCoyote on December 2, 2009 at 4:44 AM
Among those at that speech, in that “enemy camp” Chris are those men and women who will lie dead on some battlefield in the next year, the next decade.
What a revealing and horrible comment to make. It was not simply a poor choice of words.
TiminPhx on December 2, 2009 at 5:23 AM
Oh yes Chris he was in Enemy Territory because those military people didn’t run up to Obama and want to KISS HIS ASS, then lick his boots and get him all Oily like in your dreams.

cmsinaz on December 2, 2009 at 6:37 AM
Digusting! But, it shouldn’t surprise anyone here. The left hates the military. They always have and always will.
Obowma ‘the great speaker’ was profoundly anemic as usual last night reading the TOTUS at West Point. The man is an empty vessel. Incapable of a sincere thought.
Urban Infidel on December 2, 2009 at 6:55 AM
Matthews is an unhinged, rabid hack. No more and no less. Is he stupid for saying what he said? That’s a toss-up. I just think that he is so delusional he doesn’t realize that he is actually broadcasting to an viewing audience and not fulminating to a dozen or so ex-SDS types at a Berkeley cocktail party.
But he did actually speak the truth. Shocking as the statement was, it is nevertheless true. Obama hates the US military. Or to be more precise, he hates the USA – its ideals, founding principles and what it stands for.
J.J. Sefton on December 2, 2009 at 6:56 AM
One must for the folks that actually don’t get it right away.

MSNBC is the enemy camp. Anti-American America haters. Jeff Imelt needs to hang. Olbergoebbels,”Tingle”Matthews,Butch Maddow, David Shuster, and Special Ed all need blindfolds and cigarettes. MSNBC is the enemy, make no mistake about it. Oh, and throw Andrea Mitchell in that group too.

Add to that the fact that I’m pissed they were made to sit in their seats for 2-hours! West Point is not some left wing institution of lower learning were they hang in the dorm most of the time. These people actually have to attend classes etc ALL DAY LONG!! Something that Obama never had to do in any school he attended. Which reminds me, did we ever see his grades???? NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on December 2, 2009 at 7:35 AM
Chis is just repeating what he hears in his own surroundings. As far as I am concerned, Chris, MSM, and Liberals are the enemy.

Here we go again. Matthews proves himself to be as stupid as ever. MSNBC has the WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD hosting their “news” programs. No talent, no brains, no ratings.
afotia on December 2, 2009 at 7:42 AM
“America, we have the House, the Senate and the Presidency; it’s perfectly okay to s**t on the military again.”
Hey, if Maureen Dowd can hear “boy” at the end of Rep. Wilson’s “You lie” believe me, I can hear this every time one of these faggot-faced, s**t-eating assclowns opens his suck.

angryed on December 2, 2009 at 7:52 AM
Did Matthew’s “infection” start in the leg and spread to the brain or vice versa?
The serious part here is, there are American citizens who think just like this moron. Anyone with an opinion that contradicts the leftist ideology of Kum Ba Yahism—world peace through understanding and appeasing the misunderstood—is the enemy. Matthews and his ilk see no enemy other than the American aggressor (warmongers). It’s as if 9/11 never happened, or the mentality that we brought this disaster home because our lifestyle threatens others.
Through their “faith” in their Messiah, (and Joe Biden’s morning show tour to back his president’s resolve to fight an 18 month war), they, (the left), and every armchair general with a blog), will puff up their chest and say “at least our president has a strategy and a road map to victory”, along with the typical “Bush should not have turned his back on the Taliban and al Qaeda”. This will not last long before the left will begin their own proven strategy of producing “duelfer-reports” and exploiting every transgressive move where a poor victim is wiped out in collateral damage. Whether it’s a Captain Calley My Lai Massacre or another Murtha marine crucifiction, the left will turn their backs on Obama—and more importantly our military—just as they did on Johnson.
Scumbuckets like Matthews, Arianna Huffington, the New York Times, et al, will not only faciliate this process, they will be praised as icons for peace when they are in fact the enemy and traitors to this nation’s resolve.
Dr. Brzezinski just ripped Huffington on the morning Joes show for making the claim that the Karzai government is corrupt and illegitimate. He said—straight to Huffington—that it was disingenuous to judge Karzai when he was the only one willing to step up and take on the Taliban after 9/11. Huffington just sat there with the “deer in the headlights” look while Brzezinski took her pathetic argument and shreded it. It was priceless! But so is every moment when the leftards or put in their place, or back under the rocks where they belong.

He stated he didn’t see a lot of “warmth” in the crowd…listen stupid, these are the finest and brightest, they are listening to the CINC give them orders regarding a war where they will be risking their lives…and the person to the left or right may not be alive in a couple of years…this is serious business, unlike your gig.
They weren’t there to fill the thrill up their leg…they were there for business, and that business is destroying our enemy.
What an idiot, expecting a dance contest afterwords?
right2bright on December 2, 2009 at 8:14 AM
Don’t Matthews have no daddy? Whop him on the side of the head and set him straight?

Matthews reminds me of Dan Rather, cooking his brain through the years in the juices of his chronic hatred and anger. If he manages to stay on the air for another ten or fifteen years, maybe he’ll become sufficiently deranged to humiliate himself utterly, the way Rather did.
Kralizec on December 2, 2009 at 8:41 AM
Matthews wasn’t always a nutjob. He was always a liberal but at least he was sane. When did he cross over into Kos territory?
