Matthews offers apology for calling West Point Obama's 'enemy camp'

[WPUSMA1]

YOU'RE NOT SORRY, YOU'RE SORRY THAT PEOPLE NOW HATE YOU. OLD PIECE OF SHIT!

[dbsommers1]

A classic case of ''when an apology is not really an apology.'

[daveme7]

Well at least he apologized

[ekajeht]

Matthews showed his true colors then got his ass handed to him from the public.

So now he comes out with this heart felt ("I'm sorrrrrry!")

FUCK YOU !

You piece of shit.

We know what you are!

[Forsure3333]

It's not easy to be in Matthews' shoes. You need to be interesting and entertaining at the same time. Once in a while, it is totally normal to misuse words. Nobody's perfect.

[orion90ryan]

This man is a joke. He pisses himself when Barry talks! He is the ass puppet for a billion dollar organization! Then Chris and Kieth scream about corporations freedom of speech. Who signs his fucking check? GE's Jeffery Imholte what a hypoctrite!

[hellotommy]

Is this a credible delivery of the news? Chris Matthews? MSNBC cannot do any better than this? What an unbelievable, unreliable, pathetic network. America deserves better from what may have been a (perceived) credible news organization of the past, has lost most of its truthful journalistic integrity. NBC is also losing rating in every area of broadcast. Their news outfit is substandard and in need of serious overhaul.

[smokinsteall]

your apoligizing 4 what?

isn't there still freedom of speech

that's why i watch GB

who cares you have an opinion

[shinkster12]

he's apologizing so people won't think he's a douche...GB apparently has no problem being a c***.

[marine919]

A Democratic shill, .He and Overbite are two reasons I never watch MSNBC.

[ilmsNIPER]

What an apology! It's the fault of the cadets for not getting a thrill up their legs and breaking military bearing to cheer POTUS wildly.... plus it's Bush's fault.

He's scum of the earth, a worthless human being.

[TAMARLANE]

It is bullshit that military bearing prevents raucous response to a rousing speech at the Academy. Obama just didn't give one.

[jensen1901]

oh fuck off Tamarlane. Chris apologized and didn't have to. His sincerity is appreciated by the reasonable and normal people in America.

[TAMARLANE]

You don't know much about the military academies either I see.

[jensen1901]

So what is he supposed to do? Not apologize? He is not in the military. He is a journalist who is trying to clear the record and clarify his position. It was sincere and shows he cares about the military and his country. He didn't have to say anything, but he did. It shows class and balls. Why do you have a problem with that?

[TAMARLANE]

Like a female that gets pregnant and then has an abortion to get rid of an unwanted baby, it would be better, if he were professional,  to not make the mistake in the first place. I used to watch Matthews but turned him off when I realized what a piece of shit he had become. Life is not a thing, it is a process, and he evolved into a piece of shit. Sorry.

[jensen1901]

oh i see. You went from "I never watch Matthews" to "I used to watch Matthews." Looks like you made a mistake. I take it you don't watch Fox News then? Because Hannity just recently admitted to making a "mistake" that Jon Stewart caught (he used old footage to make it seem like there was a bigger crowd at Bachman's patheticly small rally in DC).

[TAMARLANE]

No mistake, both are true statements. I used to watch Matthews, I no longer watch Matthews

What is wrong with your brain man?

Now, change the topic, and call me a bigot racist sexist homophobe and just get it out of your system. That is why you come here isn't it?

[jensen1901]

homophobe, I meant. And ok I accept that both are true statements (technically you are correct there).

[TAMARLANE]

Chris, you piece of shit, did any of those parents or Cadets inform you abut making excuses in the Academies? One of the first things you learn during plebe summer is never to offer an excuse for anything you have done, or failed to do right. The only acceptable answer to your upperclassmen when you are being fried is, "No excuse Sir!"

[thirdcoastguy]

Too late Chris Matthews, your no more an American then Obama or Osama bin Laden. Go to hell you liberal asshole.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Matthews screwed up. And he apologized. I accept that.

[TAMARLANE]

You don't know anything about our military academies. They do not deal in excuses. Or apologies.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

@ Tamarlane

I have family in the military and relatives who have given their lives for our country, so you can shove it.

[TAMARLANE]

You have family in the military and relatives who have given their lives for the our country. Thanks for your service all your family members out there.

But, of course, that does not absolve you from being ignorant does it? I was trying to inform you, so you wouldn't make the same mistake in the future. Ask one of your honorable family members about what I said if you don't beileve it to be true.

[linkin622]

hmm Mathews didnt get the memo that the country is moving back home to conservative values after a brief moment of insanity (or mass deception) ie Obama

[TheFedupcitizen]

Hey Matthews do the world a favor... pull your lips over your head and swallow. You know exactly what you said douchebag!

[coldarkstare]

matthews is a turd

[namename654]

That's where all the prissy little officer spawn into big scum officers. Whats wrong with "enemy camp?"

[papavalium]

So wait you call our Troops Terrorists, or the enemy camp, many which happened to be African American I might add, then you say sry then go back to bagging on the Troops. Hmm wow nice appology.

[amareto35]

Mathews misunderstood I guess, they weren't excited because they were shitting their pants....Get out of Afghanistan like Alexander the great did..

I don't think Obama is Alexander the great...No super power ever in the history of mankind successfuly occupied Afghanistan, from Alexander the great to the Soviet Union..What makes you think Obama will win this war after 9 years of fighting and "NO" results..crap..

[Baseliner]

People that go to college and major in liberal arts - like Chris Matthews - end up doing one of three things in life.

They either:

A.) Work at retail jobs in regret, struggling to pay off their loans (common)

or

B.) Be the rare exception that actually creates something of value that could be considered adding greatness to humanity, such as a book that moves us in a positive way

or,

C.) Suck cock as yes men for news networks for cash

We know which one Chris Matthews is now, don't we.

[dmaul7]

What an assclown.

[bigdogsdontbark]

Fire His Ass!!!!!!!!

[4u2b1ib12]

Fellow Tubelers,

Chris Matthews favors his giggle buddies, and hassles people he does not like. That is opinion, not journalism.

I emailed, told him about it, and asked he say so on air. I can not post of his message page anymore. Imagine that, a free speech advocate not wanting to acknowledge his bias, when being told.

It be it.

[nomosocialists]

TooLittle, too late, tingle-boy!

[Top40ModernRockPlay]

"Enemy Camp" was just fine because it was the most succinct way to describe the crowd at West Point. This country has no spine with its Political Correctness.

[fuckyouobama1]

Your apology IS NOT ACCEPTED!!!!

[Hudd1950]

If you are really concerned about this country then why do you support the Marxist cabal in office?

[GTS4tw]

Bring back lou dobbs.

[hoghead571]

They can`t, since he did not work there. But don`t be surprised if he don`t go over to FOX.

[GTS4tw]

Sorry. I just meant in general

[jensen1901]

Matthews is a class act.

[Zoklor]

So he apologizes but then tries to justify what he said. Matthews is a piece of shit.

[obaahma]

YOU LIE!

Just like the receiver of your worship.

[putittogether]

I hate this socialist pig. Lying, deceiving, propagandist.

Chris Mathews is finished.

[jensen1901]

Chris Matthews has more brains and knows more about politics than the entire lineup at Fox. Finished? Don't think so. He is well liked by too many people in DC and makes MSNBC tons of cash,. Dream on cions and just be happy most of America is dumb like you are and is transfixed by busty Fox News babes and ACTUAL liars like Hannity. You can't have it both ways--you say nobody watches MSNBC then you cry and whine here on You Tube about Matthews. Fuck off. All of you.

[TAMARLANE]

I never watch Chris Matthews. I made a special effort to come here and proclaim that I think he is an ignorant piece of shit. End of story.

[jensen1901]

Well if you don't watch him than how do you know he is in your words "an ignorant piece of shit?" That's like the asshole at Wal Mart who sees DVD cover and says "I saw that movie and it sucked" without actually watching it. Withhold your opinion until you actually watch "Hardball." Then you can talk with the grownups.

[TAMARLANE]

You do believe in evolution don't you?

[jensen1901]

yes i do believe in evolution, unlike Palin and Huckabee. I won't call you any names like that unless you prove that you are a homophone, racist or bigot. So far you have not. So we're good. So do you watch Hannity or Fox?

[TAMARLANE]

I watch Fox news, yes. Help me a little here if you will Jensen. We have crossed paths before, and I must admit I can't really figure you out. Even though I am a semiotician with lots of experience. Are you a frap? A snarkle? Or a pogue?

(frap is one who goes around smelling little girls bicycle seats))

(snark, or sanrkle is one who farts in the bathtub and bites the bubbles.)

(Pogue is one who has been taking it in the ass since about age 10)

[jensen1901]

I don't remember you. Sorry, so many crazies out there. I have to be one of those three? I don't like my options! None apply (ok maybe a snark because i did fart in the bathtub when i was a kid). That was fun.

So do you think Hannity is "professional?" If so, than why did he say i'm sorry on air for making a mistake? That's what Matthews did and you hated it. Maybe you need to apply the same standard to Fox and sto watching Fox, too?

[TAMARLANE]

There you go again. Just because I watch Fox news does not mean I agree with everything said there. Hannity is not one of my favorite commentators on Fox. He makes some good points, but he is like a broken record and too shrill for me much of the time. O'Reilly is bit of an ass too I think. Too politically correct for me. I like Wallace a lot. I like Krauthammer a lot. But I am sure they make mistakes too. Matthews is a piece of shit who insults Cadets by making excuses . No excuse sir.

[jensen1901]

Listen. You sound semi reasonable. Matthews is not a bad guy. Give him a chance. I watch Fox too sometimes but never Hannity. Wallace can be good sometimes. Kraut can only occasionally be good. I actually like O'Reilly sometimes. Hannity is a joke though. Matthews is smart at least. You got to give him that.

[TAMARLANE]

I suppose Matthews is smart enough. He does not conform closely enough to the Honor Code for me. I am a military academy oriented guy. I do my best to live up to the honor code. No lying, no cheating , no stealing. I think Matthews lies, cheats and steals. Sorry.

[jensen1901]

well we agree to disagree on that. Goodnight i have to run.

[KozmoLouie]

I like Hannity but I prefer Rush Limbaugh much more.

I can't Stand that butch Stud Rachel Maddow.

[5tallcoolone]

This fucking idiot Matthews is a waste of space its time 2 REMOVE this socialist bastard all evry socialist. Evrytime this fucking idiot speaks he makes himself just look stupid.

TIME 2 KILL THE SOCIALISTS.

[Minuteman1969]

Apology NOT ACCEPTED!! Matthews typifies the mental illness called liberalism; they embrace our enemies and hate our heritage. They malign and slander the patriots, the heroes, our troops, and our peace officers. They think the average American is a dumb inbred hick, and scorn everything good about America and its people. Matthews can take a flying (&^@% and go to hell on the horse he rode in on. Same goes for all the other gasbags at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, et al!

[mittenola]

My sentiments exactly!!! Another point I`d like to make is these idiots are pompous arrogant fools!!

[fiducialpoint]

Appology accepted. You must always reme,ber those youth that attend U.S. military acadamy's are and shall aways be the best and brightes on the front line to serve and protect the Constitution and freedom of speech. Even yours and mine. With that being said, excersising my freedom of speech i still think your a bed wetting scumbag.

[demonpreyer]

Apology not excepted you Muslim terrorist sympathizing extremist! Liberalism and Islamic terrorism are one and the same!

[cd3taxi]

Most of the time I can't stand this guy, but he did the right thing apologizing

[cleal99]

I am a right-winger, I have to say that I like Chris Matthews. I disagree with him on a lot of issues, but I like his honestly and the fact that he is not afraid to say what he means, even if I disagree with him. Keep up the good work Chris Matthews.

[Hudd1950]

Matthews is an irrelevant cocklebur with as much to add to public discourse as snubby-communist-joe.

[DeathToLiberalism]

When is this America-hating imbecile going to just hang himself and get it over with? Its taking too long.

[Mattfordman]

Coward...you said what you meant now be a man and stand up for it. Not many people are watching you anyway so no biggie...

[SnubbyJoe]

Why are you apologizing???? WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING!!! YOU WIMPING OUT ON THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The military IS the enemy, any person wearing that damned flag either as a patch or a pin the the ENEMY!!! Anyone who defends this shit-landish nation is the ENEMY!! Any one who would swear to protect the constitution (the worst and most retarded document known to man) is a complete MORON. THE CONSTITUTION IS A FALSITY AND IMMORAL AND UNATURAL WHY PROTECT IT????

[SnubbyJoe]

Ah looks like the neo-cons are out tonight. Go ahead and say all that mean stuff, but you know all you do is make yourself look bad. You prove to everyone just how messed up the right wing is. You conservatives no nothing about real life. You all live with golden spoons in your mouths in your ivory towers. But Obama is putting you lowlives in your places. OBAMA FOREVER!!!!! do away with term limits!!!!!

[DireWeevil]

Oh, damn it snubby, go away.

[shimauma42]

LOL! matthews, you're a jerk, and your apology is retarded.

[DonDahab]

ahh matthews what about when you said spreading democracy like it was a disease...maybe you were thrown off by a chill running up your leg...your anti american or stupid and maybe both @ 42 i hope to live a long healthy life so i can enjoy your passing

[mike0550]

Yet you use the foul language

[TAMARLANE]

Nah, you are just another piece of shit , like Mr. Matthews here.(Was that grammatically correct?)

[TAMARLANE]

Yeah. I don't bring out the big guns unless my adrenalin is up. Matthews leaves me flaccid. Semioticist is my own word sort of for semiotician. I look for signs.

[topcat42]

Mathews keeps saying "people that watch him over the years know"

Yes we know you are a left wing loon.

[Freenetnow]

I don't agree with of what I hear from this guy, but that was a good apology and I believe him.

I liked Matthews back in the day when he wrote for the SF paper and was on the McGlaughlin (sp?) Report.

BTW - an effective strategy would be to WIN the war. That never fails.

[oflct]

Regardless, these MSNBC commentators have a mission of pro-Obamanizing everything and giving Obama every excuse should he fail. Reporting is dead on that station. Maybe they think ACORN, the Climate Emails, Stimulus Waste, etc, aren't news, but more likely the warm fuzzies they feel about being ingratiated with Team Obama are too much for them to resist. Problem is, journalism is not about the journalist.

[oflct]

While I've persnally had enough of Matthews (I used to look forward to coming home to his show), its obvious he knew he screwed up right away that night and tried about 3 times to refine what he meant.

Doesn't mean he is justified. He is not. But I do believe he is grateful to our military - mostly in a theoretical way. He certainly doesn't seem to relate to these cadets in any real way, but I think he likes the idea of their sacrifice and valour, or atleast likes the idea of liking the idea.

[csrdrunner]

Bull, he is trying to talk his way out of it.

My husband died for this country, (my brother, and father retired from the US Air Force, and my son served his country).

"The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one."

This person is not my president, no BIRTH CERTIFICATE, no president.

If you are happy to see the liars, tax cheats etc taking over this country, then stick your head back in the sand.

[theygunaHATEME]

Go fuck yourself Communist the tides are turning

[d28player]

Chris Matthews sux... majorly!!

[Uswdlp05]

Fricking hack!!!

[bretp99]

This was a classy apology, regardless of what you think of Chris Matthews.

[armyofonerd]

Nice try on policical spin, but you failed. I don't care who spoke there, the facility is not an "enemy camp". You are nothing but a political hack to which we all will continue to ignore you. But, we cannot ignore you when you call the troops and future troops of this country part of a "enemy camp". Did you expect these future officers to "hoot and hollar"? Pull your head out of your ass and understand they have given more than you ever will - period.

[frwgt350net]

This person said exactly what he thinks of America and Americans. His apology means nothing to us that are deeply offended. Soon msиbc will completely fail, its full of lies and people that support the lies are at the top. He and the others on msиbc are on the forefront of the destruction of our country. If/when the country goes down we all go down together keep that in mind

[VZ935]

Guy is a jerk... MSNBC los me a long time ago. I live in one of the most liberal [arts of the country but I am no cheerleader for these guys. The do not report the news the push their ideology. The 3000 views here on You Tube probably represents more people than his news cast does.

[yahazif]

This is crap. Chris Matthews along with most of the Liberals and Democrats hate the American Military. There is no smarmy apology on Earth that can hide the fact that Chris Matthews thinks the American Military is the enemy. That's what he thinks. That's what Pelosi thinks. That's what Harry Reid thinks. And thats what Barack Obama thinks. Matthews was being honest and now he's feeling heat. Well Fxxk you Chris Matthews.

[titans797979]

Chris Matthews fuk you. you speak your American hating mind then you "aplogize" for it. Fuk you faggg

[TheRealBionicWoman]

Oh please, how can anyone look at this video and not see that he was reading a statement written by management for his stupidity. I can't believe he didn't choke on the words. His "apology" lacked any depth or emotion and his eyes and expression looked like he was reading directions off a can of paint. He needs to go off the air and NOW. Anyone want to lay odds that SNL is going to be spoofing this?

[cocobear33]

fuck you chris matthews , you are a fucking asshole , you said what you wanted to say and the only reason you are saying your're sorry is because you got some heat , fuck you and msnbc

[lousinup]

He slipped up and told the truth. Obamas' soldiers are enlisted in ACORN and SEIU. Obama said he wanted a civilian force just as large and well funded as our military. Maybe his GESTAPO will shower him with praise during his speeches.

[RelaxingVideosInc]

Yeah that was really sentience. Whats wrong with a skeptical audience what a people of shit.

[dalmatian847]

Chris Matthews = Douchebag

[dalmatian847]

He "mis-spoke" like every other liberal who says something stupid.

[CheObama]

YOU LIE!

Just like the "one" who accounts for your "tingle"

[Eatm308amA]

Your only sorry because your job is on the line. You make excuses for a socialist administration as well. You are just a shill Matthews. Your future is looking really dim.

[rascal95113]

If Chris Matthews is right that Obama was in the Enemy Camp last night, it is a camp of his own making by his indecision, his Blame America First foreign policy and his obvious snake-oil salesman persona.

[desertfoxrommel]

this idiot tries to blame bush for his stupid remarks....what a jackass

[8laney]

I don't like Chris Matthews but he shouldn't apologize for something he didn't do. I knew what he meant the first time I heard it. Anyone who misunderstood what he was saying is an idiot!

[artabr]

Like the song said, "your minds been on vacation, but your mouth been workin overtime".

Matthews you are a moron of epic proportions.

[psnsam]

Communist pig that is what Chris Mathews is.He should be bitch slapped by the families of our fallen soldiers and then shipped off to Cuba.

[ofc1221]

Im cuban and I will gladly take him there myself and show him real respect.

[gga10gb]

No listen you punk ass crazy right wing dingbats. He did something Sarah Palin should be doing. He apologized for a wrong.

He said something really bad no mistakes about it. Sarah Palin says the President would let a disabled/braindead child stand before a death panel. Now I'm no genius but I know that sounds like a pretty darn evil/crazy thing to say.

[ImHappynBP]

He just slipped up...we all know how much the Left loves the military. That's why they always demonstrate in support of the soldiers,

We need some new folks to spit on

[gga10gb]

Come on this guy doesn't hate America or the army he just gets too into politics which is why this sounded soooo bad. It was a terrible thing to say and he didn't mean West point is an enemy of America.

He's a decent guy who does call out right wingers for all the incessant bullshit that gets spewed out but he prob will suffer as he deserves but he deserves the chance to redeem himself.

[slowtyper5]

"Duty, Honor, Country."

That is a how a few good men would start a description about West Point Academy. There is no mistaking those words meaning.

He takes 2 minutes to explain how his "wrong words" and assumptions were misunderstood and his "wrong conclusions" were "just not right". His job is to use the best words to describe the events he is covering, its Basic Journalism 101. Yet he failed. And for that he is not excused.

[astronato]

Fuck you Mathews.

[ProFreedomForAll]

Apology not accepted. This man should be fired now and shunned by all for the joke of a man he is.

[dejahthoris]

Not good enough. Too many words and excuses. I wont watch him again. I support the military and the President.

[enriodelacruz]

u r stil stupid n so r the people who stil take u seriously.

[heartbreaker755]

fucktard civie

[SaveOurSovereignty3]

fuckin douche

[jasonc32amg]

Matthews is a peice of shit. It is funny how liberals love this guy given his hatred of women.

[mmm413]

Can't stand Tweety. He went along w/everything Bush did. Had chills running down his leg looking at Bush in his codpiece. He's a terrible interviewer (interrupts constantly) and goes whichever way the wind blow. MSNBC should dump him NOW!

[jwv651]

I always thought Matthews was a okay guy...but he lost me as a viewer forever. Good bye Chris and MSNBC. I've had enough! I'm going to crummy CNN for now!

[hulaboy2020]

I guess his apology is sincere?

[gleemonex99]

He's back on the sauce. Let him go MSNBC.

[voyeurdug]

Pretty darn good recovery.

One point anyone who's been in the service in the combat arms would agree on: There are no hawks in foxholes.

One point he (Obama) got across to cadets and their families: "I will not waste you," came through loud and clear.
