RUSH: I want you to hear audio. There is video to this. It\u2019s available at I think Breitbart.com and LiveLeak.com<\/a>. I was advised to watch this, and I did, and it\u2019s Chris Matthews being berated, if you will, by a black Army veteran after the Ann Coulter show on MSNBC earlier this week.<\/p>\n

<\/a>VETERAN: No, no, no, no, no, I want to know why politicians are off limits, but US troops are not. People who actually put on the uniform, go out and fight and die. Okay, she is calling in and complaining about one person that said something in a book. Ann Coulter is not elected to the senate, okay, John Kerry is, Dick Durbin is. Ok, and if we want apologies and personal attacks to stop. <\/p>\n

MATHEWS: Wait, who has been attacking the soldiers? <\/p>\n

VETERAN: Okay, let\u2019s see, Dick Durbin has compared them to the Nazis, ‘Abu Ghraib is now open under new management.\u2019 Okay, but our soldiers are not out there blowing them damn selves up, and I as a veteran take a genuine–<\/p>\n

MATHEWS: So you don\u2019t think they should have criticized Abu Ghraib? <\/p>\n

VETERAN: No, hey, look, policy is made by civilians. Troops only do what they can. <\/p>\n

MATHEWS: I\u2019m going to tell you something. This administration has denied that was a policy from the top. I believe it was, you don\u2019t agree. <\/p>\n

VETERAN: I believe– <\/p>\n

MATHEWS: No, you believe–<\/p>\n

VETERAN: Wait, wait, wait. Wait a damn minute Chris, if you want to talk about policy made from the top, let\u2019s talk about the mess made over in Rwanda. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Rwanda. This is a black veteran and what his point was, ‘What are you wasting time here with Ann Coulter? You\u2019ve got one person.\u2019 He says, ‘I\u2019m getting sick and tired, you never criticize politicians. You\u2019re always criticizing people out there, one person who wrote something in a book but you don\u2019t criticize John Kerry, you don\u2019t criticize Dick Durbin. You don\u2019t criticize anybody who\u2019s elected. Ann Coulter is not elected to the Senate.\u2019 Matthews said, ‘Who\u2019s been attacking the soldiers?\u2019 What kind of question is that? Who\u2019s been attacking the soldiers? How about the entire Democrat Party leadership in both the House and the Senate? What do you call it when you invest in defeat? What do you call it when you say the surge is worthless, when you say that we\u2019ve lost the war in Iraq, what are you doing? When you run around and impugn the integrity and the intelligence of enlisted personnel by saying, ‘Ah, they come from the wrong side of the tracks. That\u2019s the only place they can go to get an education. That\u2019s the only place they can go to have a future. They don\u2019t really want to be in the military,\u2019 what do you do? How do you not know that the troops are being attacked by Democrats if you host a cable news show, as Chris Matthews does? <\/p>\n

Of course this guy fired right back, ‘Well, Dick Durbin called the troops Nazis,\u2019 and so forth, and it was Ted Kennedy who said that Abu Ghraib is now open under new management, comparing our running of Abu Ghraib to Saddam Hussein. Now, this was cool, because this is a veteran who\u2019s fed up with this kind of coverage, and he was in the audience, and he sought Matthews out after the show to give him piece of his mind. To Matthews credit he stood there and talked to him. There was a camera rolling, and I think Matthews knew it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
