As spotted by Ace, “Chris Matthews: West Point an ‘Enemy Camp’ Full of ‘Rabble.’” Just MSNBC the moral equivalence!

Ace adds:

Outrageous? I didn’t think so until he poured on further contempt of the troops by stating that Paul Wolfowitz used to go to West Point to “rabble-rouse” — our troops being the “rabble.”

So the “enemy camp” thing I took in a You know what he means way.

And then he had to follow that up with “rabble-rouse.” Rouse up the ignorant, wild-eyed rabble. Of West Point.

Meanwhile, in a classic “who are the rubes” moment, on Sunday, Noel Sheppard spotted Matthews comparing Obama to Neville Chamberlain.

Chris, the starboard half of the Blogosphere is waaaay ahead of you on that one.

Related: Oh, that media bias: “The Los Angeles Times published a transcript of President Obama’s speech at West Point laying out his Afghanistan strategy v3.0. Here are the photos that the Times chose to illustrate the article.”

Update: Last week: Hide the Decline. This Week: Count the Sheep!

Update: From Mary Katharine Ham: “Family Guy spoofs Chris Matthews: ‘My forehead, my rules.’”

“Rabble” is a West Point nickname for West Point athletic teams. “Rabble Rousers” West Point-eese for West Point cheerleaders/spirit lifters for West Point athletic teams.

That said, I condemn Chris Matthews and everything/everyone he represents, says and does.
