Jackass Quote of the Day Award

And the jackass award goes to Chris Matthews of Hardball notoriety, who, in a speech at the University of Toronto, claimed that terrorists aren't really bad people.

"If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we've given up. The person on the other side is not evil -- they just have a different perspective."

That's right - it's just a "different perspective." Under the Matthews reasoning, everyone from Pol Pot to Hitler to Stalin were great people with diverse and differing "perspectives." Something to think about....which again helps explains his show's terrible ratings.
