Chris Matthews: Osama "sounds like an over the top Michael Moore"

On Hardball last night, Chris compared Osama bin Laden to Michael Moore.

Keep in mind this is the same guy who thinks President Bush belongs on Mt. Rushmore. Darn that liberal media.

Sen. Kerry wasted no time in releasing a statement:

"You'd think the only focus tonight would be on destroying Osama Bin Laden, not comparing him to an American who opposes the war whether you like him or not. You want a real debate that America needs? Here goes: If the administration had done the job right in Tora Bora we might not be having discussions on Hardball about a new Bin Laden tape. How dare Scott McClellan tell America that this Administration puts terrorists out of business when had they put Osama Bin Laden out of business in Afghanistan when our troops wanted to, we wouldn't have to hear this barbarian's voice on tape. That's what we should be talking about in America."

Daaaammmnnnn. Where was this John Kerry when the Swift Boats came mud slinging?

I'm also sure that the same crowd who get mad at inflammatory statements like Hillary's 'plantation' remark will denounce this type of conflation as well. Oops, too late!
