The Chris Matthews “Democrats=Terrorists” Fight Escalates

Posted on by

At the Open Letter To Chris Matthews blog there is a new push, asking readers to contact MSNBC, and a few of their advertisers, asking Chris Matthews for an apology for comparing people like us to Osama bin Laden.


This Frequently Asked Questions post expains why we are so upset, what Matthews said, what we want, and how readers can help pressure for an apology.

CPAC is where people like Ann Coulter speak (sharing a stage with Dick Cheney.) I guess Matthews feels at home there, talking trash on Dems.

More On Matthews and Apology

A blog has been set up for people to post public comments complaining about Chris Matthews “bin Laden” comments. MSNBC will be aware of and monitoring this blog.
Please go to this blog and leave a comment. This is an opportunity to make noise and get something done about the way Democrats and liberals are openly badmouthed. This is about accountability in a democracy.
To Chris Matthews,

Yesterday, you compared Michael Moore to Osama Bin Laden. Michael Moore is an American filmmaker. Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist who murdered three thousand Americans. This type of McCarthyite smear has no place in American journalism, let alone on a major TV network.
You owe Michael Moore, and the American public you serve as a journalist, an apology.
MSNBC doesn’t allow public feedback on its web site. I have therefore set up this blog as a public forum for discussion about this unfortunate incident. Please keep commentary civil.
