Chris Matthews finally took a moronic Republican congressman to task about his rhetoric on the war. The congressman went on about how we should look at Iraq like Germany or South Korea. It's an idiotic comparison that has no basis in the current situation. It's disingenuous. It does nothing to add to the conversation and implies that somehow the speaker has some longer view, when in fact, they are just clouded by their own rhetoric and blind to the fax on the ground. Which combine to leave them completely out of touch.
There are many rhetorical arguments in the right wing bag of tricks, and they are all despicable; anyone against the war is against our troops and thus a traitor, the war just needs one more chance to get it right, it's the media's fault, and on and on. But this comparison to Germany is the one I find the worst of all. I'm glad Chris finally handed this moron his ass about it. Every time one of these Republicans spouts this crap on real news (not Fox Noise) he ought to be shut down.
