Chris It Was a Poem - Part Two

MSNBC has posted the transcript of the Matthews and Zell Miller exchange. I will revisit what I earlier wrote - Mr. Matthews, if you were as informed as you pretend, you would know that the lines you had an issue with was a quote from a poem! Matthews picks obsolete things to comment on in an attempt to make a point - Mr. Matthews do you not know that attacks like this make your opinion hollow. Already I have heard liberals say that Zell Miller did not quote the poem exactly - well that is an odd defense for one of their liberal demigods. Let us look at Matthews’ comments:

Let me ask you about this, because I think you have a view on the role of reporters in the world. You have said and it has often been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. Was there not...

But it‘s a statement that nobody would have challenged. Why did you make it? It seems like no one would deny what you said. So what‘s your point?

Well, you could argue it was not nurses who defended the freedom of nursing. Why did you single out freedom of the press to say it was the soldiers that defended it and not the reporters? We all know that. Why did you say it?

Because you could get an applause line against the media at a conservative convention.

As I stated eariler Chris it is a poem!
