Chris Matthews, MSNBC, and his guests, Clarence Page and Jonathan Alter, were on a rampage about the GOP letter to Iran. It seems the trio called these Senators racist because they sent the letter. Hmm, which side of the race card are you all using Chris – the black or white side?
Seems Chris was disciplined back in 2012 when he called the Koch brothers, “pigs” on a segment with Congressman Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) . The President of MSNBC apologized but Chris would not man-up and apologize; but, in the end, he was not fired.
As you can read, the trio served up some alphabet soap on the number of people they accused of being racist. But failed to mention any liberals who blasphemed George Bush and Dick Cheney. Following is the article.
Chris Matthews: “Dangerous” To Deny GOP Attacks On Obama Are Racist
MSNBC host Chris Matthews and guests Clarence Page and Jonathan Alter discuss words and phrases used recently by Republican politicians that they accuse of being racist. Matthews brought up Dinesh D’Souza’s film “Obama’s America” and Sarah Palin using the phrase “shuck and jive” in a recent Facebook post as examples of Republican racism.
“A dog whistle is a dog whistle, Clarence, a trumpet call is another,” Matthews said about Palin’s “shuck and jive” comment.
“Shuck and jive has a particular ethnic connection, not necessarily bad in all cases. It’s slang, it doesn’t mean evil. To throw it at the president is an ethnic shot, pretty blatant,” Matthews added.
Matthews says Tommy Thompson’s son making a Kenya joke is racist.
“I have nothing against Tommy Thompson’s, but he’s raising his kids wrong,” Matthews said about the parenting of the Republican Senate candidate from Wisconsin.
Bloomberg columnist Jonathan Alter called the comments are “rank racism” and “racist tropes.”
“I think this is rank racism. You know sometimes people on the right get very upset with people on the left charge racism. But shuck and jive, that’s like talking about watermelon or, for Jews, talk about Jews are greedy, or the Irish are drunk, or whatever. These are racist tropes and we need to call them what they are,” Alter said.
“And I actually think, at least implicitly, Trump was playing on racism today with his ridiculous stunt demanding college transcripts. What’s this subtext,” Alter said, which changed the topic to focusing on how it’s racist to talk about Obama’s college records. (Wasn’t it Howard Dean, a Democrat, who tried to make a big deal that Scott Walker – a potential candidate for President – didn’t have a college degree – was that racist too?)
“What is that about? It’s about affirmative action, we know what it’s about,” Matthews said.
“He’s basically saying Barack Obama was too stupid to be at Columbia — because he was an affirmative action student, and therefore — because he was an affirmative action, he must not of had good enough grades to stay in college or whatever he’s talking about. It’s racist. Let’s get serious about this,” Alter said.
Matthews, perhaps fearing no one is taking all these charges of racism seriously says they’re not seeing things.
“Anybody out there, by there, who thinks we’re seeing things, it’s over and over again, and if you say we’re seeing things you’re dead wrong and you’re dangerous because people who don’t hear it, should hear it,” Chris Matthews said on “Hardball.”
At the end of the segment, Chris Matthews makes a statement on behalf of all white people.
“Let me tell you something as a white person. I think it’s a statement against the white people to talk like this. It has nothing to do with blacks, it’s a sickness by the people. Anyway, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. We should be beyond that,” Matthews said.
Chris, needs to review his notes from the interview with the Pope when the Pope said to him: “Partially, what irritates me to the core is the media’s inability to look at anything without looking into the cause of the various problems. People are made poor so they will vote for the very candidates that made them poor.”
Chris needs to take some advice from the Pope and it might help him come to better conclusions. Chris has not released this interview. The full transcript is on my website and it certainly does tread on a lot of liberal toes.
Chris, I still think you need to publish this interview. What are you afraid of that your liberal friends might dis-own you? Remember, what the Pope said, “You are Catholic first!”
