It was certainly a pretty dumb thing to say.
If you watch the full clip though, it's not an irrational thing for him to say. As someone who's against the war, the idea of a blanket label would call into question if it helps legitimize the policy. This is a philosophical question more than anything else and something I could see an anti-war liberal taking into account.
The soundbite driven cable programming is really not a good avenue for intellectual exploration...it rarely works. Hayes definitely realized he was wading into deeper water and appeared quite uncomfortable.
I think it's made even worse by Hayes fitting the weenie liberal stereotype to a T but in reality does anyone even watch his show? I tried once and the only good thing about it was that David Frum was on.
