It is no secret that Chris Matthews is a shill for the Democrats and adamantly opposed to the Iraq War. The former Democratic staffer, who the previous night wrote a speech for Obama attacking Hillary Clinton from the left, endorsed "the sentiment" of a disruptive protestor.
After the October 30 Democratic debate, upon interviewing John Edwards campaign strategist Joe Trippi, a lone protestor stormed the stage "all U.S. troops out of Iraq now! No more blood for oil!" After security pulled him out, Matthews quipped that he "agreed with the sentiment at least." Joe Trippi agreed. The exchange is below.
