If it’s positive, it’s a negative, see.
Nothing good and natural can happen if it’s under a conservative’s watch—if it happens it’s because it all has to have been contrived and manipulated for it to happen.
Happy = sad.
Right = wrong.
Winning = losing.
Positive = negative.
Then it suits their pessimistic, cynical world view.
MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews suggested last night that the high point of President Bush’s State of the Union Address – the emotional hug between grateful Iraqi voter Safia Taleb al-Suhail and Janet Norwood, mother of a Marine who died liberating her country – was staged by the White House.
The cynical host apparently first voiced his skepticism during a commercial break. His comments were immediately seized upon by “Hardball” guest, MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan when the show returned:
BUCHANAN: Well, I heard you talking, Chris. And I was a communications director. That was not a rehearsed moment.
I think Janet — that was one of the most moving things I have seen at a State of the Union address. That woman is Middle America. Her husband, I thought, was tremendously moving when he reached across and shook hands. There was nothing — there was nothing rehearsed about that. [END OF EXCERPT]
Matthews rolled a clip of the hug again, then accused Buchanan of “acting naive” for insisting that the hug wasn’t staged. […]
And that’s how liberals think, example 2,847 in the series.
