The KOS kiddies and the DummiesU alumni actually believe that Chrissy Matthews is a rightwing conservative. Here is more proof how wrong they are: (via Newsbusters)

In one fell segment, Chris Matthews pulled back the curtain and revealed his view of America’s foreign policy intentions as fundamentally pernicious. For him, the United States in Iraq is no better than a ‘colonial master.’

Matthews’ guest on this evening’s ‘Hardball’ was John Batiste, one of the former generals calling for Donald Rumsfeld’s removal as Secretary of Defense. The topic at hand was the failure to anticipate the insurgency with which we have been been faced in Iraq.

Describing the miscalculation, Matthews said: “It’s like the British coming in to New York at the beginning of the Revolution and saying they weren’t going to face any resistance.”

A bit later, he added:

“Every Third World country, in Africa, Asia, Latin America, has thrown off its colonial masters, because they don’t want outsiders telling them what to do. And we didn’t think we would face that reality in Iraq? Why didn’t they think there wasn’t going to be a resistance?”

Batiste was happy to second Matthews’ notion: “I don’t think they studied the past.”

Apparently he believes we are there to colonize the Iraqi’s now. All that stuff about elections and so forth is a bunch of hogwash. It’s not like we are trying desperately to get them to stand on their own two feet is it? /sarcasm.

And then this General agreed with him!

Some of this stuff is just too amazing to believe.
