Chris Matthews: Al-Qaida And ISIS Created By Dick Cheney

I was watching MSNBC’s reaction to President Obama’s ISIS speech so I could reset my crazymeter to zero when I heard Charlie Brown’s illegitimate child, Hardball host Chris Matthews, announce to the world that former Vice-President Dick Cheney has built a time machine. OK, he didn’t exactly say Cheney has a time machine, or a Star Trek transporter for that matter, but he might as well have.

While providing air(head) support to the President for his awful, pointless, 15 minute rehash of things he’s said before (just not at night), Matthews blamed Cheney for creating al-Qaida and ISIS.

How did Cheney manage these things? He’s evil, obviously!


Also, Cheney created al-Qaida, according to Chris, “by taking over the Holy Land in Saudi Arabia…” Yes, the original Iraq war and having troops in the region, something no president ever changed, “created al-Qaida.”

I’m old enough to remember when progressives blamed al-Qaida on Reagan and “abandoning the Mujahideen in Afghanistan,” but I digress. If Chris Matthews says it (now) it must be true (now).

OK, so Cheney created al-Qaida magically. Got it. But ISIS? How did Dick Cheney create a group that formed after he left office?

He “de-Baathisized the Iraqi government and created ISIS,” Matthews declared.

Since none of his fellow “journalists” disagreed, it must be true. Surely such noted honest brokers like Andrea Mitchell, Rachel Maddow, and Al Shartpon wouldn’t sit silently while an untruth got out over their airwaves, right? You already know the answer.

If Dick Cheney is as all-powerful as MSNBC would have their viewers believe, if he could create al-Qaida in Afghanistan long after they were already in existence AND create ISIS long after he left office, shouldn’t the progressive Junta at MSNBC fear for their lives? I mean, if one man has that much power over events he’s not involved in, what chance would a few truth-telling dimwits have against him? Wedge Antilles didn’t take on Darth Vader because he knew he’d get killed. He let Luke handle it. (A very nerdy Star Wars joke.)

No, just like they knew Mitt Romney couldn’t really give people cancer, so they spouted that lie relentlessly, they know they’re lying now. But MSNBC’s business model isn’t based on informing people, it’s based on keeping people ignorant. The bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed…and we “lean forward.”

ISIS was formed on Obama’s watch, out of a Syria he rattled his sabre at, then did nothing. Had President Obama spoken out in support of, and offered actual support of, protesters in Syria during the “Arab Spring” the way he did in countries that were not a threat to the United States – like Egypt and Libya – the truly moderate opposition to Syrian President Assad might’ve stood a fighting chance. Instead, they were decimated and ISIS grew out of the radicals that remained.

ISIS is Barack Obama’s Frankenstein, Dick Cheney had nothing to do with it. Obama drew that red line in the sand, then scribbled it out. ISIS drew it back in the blood of the tens of thousands of people they slaughtered because Obama found it politically expedient to pretend they didn’t exist.

Now that Obama’s monster has, to borrow a phrase, “come home to roost,” the true origin of this evil army must be obscured.

This seems to be the mission of MSNBC and NBC News as a whole – keep people ignorant and hope they vote.

If their ratings, and the President’s ratings, are any indication, it’s not working as well anymore. Still, they’re leaning forward…

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
