This guy is just plain sick! There's no other excuse for his demented craving for violance and failure with the elections in Iraq.

Excerpt:
Chris Matthews' animus toward President Bush's Iraq policy is so great that on Sunday night he raised the possibility that U.S. soldiers forced Iraqis to vote. He asked Brian Williams: "Was it that clean? Was there no pushing by American soldiers or coalition forces to make people vote or discourage them from not voting?" Williams rejected to notion of any coercion. On Friday night, Matthews foresaw disaster before Sunday's vote: "Is it likely we're going to see a massive, Tet-style, like we had in Vietnam, explosion of opposition over the next 24 hours? They're really gonna throw out everything they've had at these elections to try to bring them down?"

Excerpt:
Matthews soon turned to New York Times White House reporter Elisabeth Bumiller: "I guess there's two questions I'm gonna ask you, they're both rough. You may not have an answer to either one. Is it likely we're going to see a massive, Tet-style, like we had in Vietnam, explosion of opposition over the next 24 hours? They're really gonna throw out everything they've had at these elections to try to bring them down?"
Bumiller rationally refused to speculate: "Chris, I have absolutely no idea. I'm sitting here in Washington. The White House doesn't think so."

There's more if you go the link. Williams to his credit was responsible in his response to Matthews. But this guy is just sick! He really wanted to find something bad that our troops had done to coerce Iraqi's to go out and vote.
