Why MSNBC needs regime change

Rush Limbaugh responded to Obama's description of him as "troublesome" and vitriolic by stating, "Never in my life have I seen a regime like this, governing against the will of the people, purposely."

[MSNBC's Chris] Matthews, in turn, took great offense to the term "regime." Here is what Matthews said:
"We know that word, 'regime.' It was used by George Bush, 'regime change.' You go to war with regimes. Regimes are tyrannies. They're juntas. They're military coups. The use of the word 'regime' in American political parlance is unacceptable, and someone should tell the walrus [Limbaugh] to stop using it. I never heard the word 'regime,' before, have you?"

Here's the factual data on media use of 'regime' referring to the BUSH administration:

New York Times - 16 times in both Bush terms

Howard Kurtz - once referring to President Geo. H. W. Bush

Chris Matthews himself on June 14, 2002 "what do you make of this letter and this panoply of the left condemning the Bush regime?"

The ARROGANCE of the LEFT IS ASTOUNDING and should cause any really thinking liberal to pay close attention.
