Chris Matthews: Republicans “Race Baiting,” Running “Racist Ads”

Unbelievable…

You can see the ad he’s talking about here, if you haven’t already.

Basically, from what I can tell, Matthews thinks the ad is racist because it depicts a beautiful blond woman apparently “flirting” with Harold Ford Jr., who is black.

Because, you know, interracial relationships are racist!

Comments

I’m glad he pointed out that Ford’s black because otherwise you might not notice.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Crying “racist” is the crutch the left uses when they don’t have anything else to lean on. It’s old and tired, but the media eats it up. And Chris Matthews is a jerk, just by the way. He couldn’t lean more to the left if his right leg were eight feet long.

What a blow-hard.
That ad was in no way racist, and it doesn’t even identify Ford as a Black person.

If you want to say that the claims against him are false or mean, fine, but don’t claim racism where it doesn’t exist.

Wiki:

Matthews has worked for four Democratic politicians. He was a presidential speechwriter for four years during the administration of Jimmy Carter. He served as a top aide to long-time Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill for six years. He worked in the U.S. Senate for five years on the staffs of Senators Frank Moss and Edmund Muskie before running for U. S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Matthews’ only noteworthy attributes are his moderately capable vocabulary, his shrill, frenetic, pattern of speaking, and the fact that he was thoroughly sliced, diced, and pureed on national TV by a seasoned, good ol’ boy Marine from the North Georgia mountains, Zell Miller.

In case y’all forgot they (the racists) used to hang blacks in the south if they believed a black was romanticaly involved with a white woman.

And your point is?

likwidshoe on October 27, 2006 at 07:04 pm

Chris Matthews is the race baiter here. He’s the one “ripping the scab off the old racial problem”. Hell,..he’s picking at his own racist scab.

New definition of a “racist” - anybody who is winning an argument with a liberal.

Let’s not forget who those racists were: Southern Democrats.  Likewise the KKK.  In fact, one of the Dem Senators is a former(?) KKK member; lest we forget.

I never questioned a racist about his political affiliation. My point is likwidshoe that this ad appeals to the racist fears of the past.

Lik,

I thought that was “homophobe.” Or was it “neanderthal?” Or “fascist,” “sexist,” “warmonger,” “cowboy,” “redneck,” etc.?

And then they have the audacity to call us “hate-filled.”

Well, don’t fault me for not tip-toeing around your racist sensitivities ellinas. Black men and white women are allowed to be together/date/whathaveyou. You should wake up to this and learn to accept it, because it’s not changing.

Put simply, you don’t have to agree with it for your personal life, but you do have to learn to accept that other couples may not be of the same race. This concern of yours just isn’t an issue with someone like me (who has dated and gone out with just about every color of the human rainbow) and I wouldn’t have known about this inapparent transgression if it weren’t for the race baiters such as yourself telling me about it. It’s just not an issue that is worth concern in my book. So it’s a white woman and a black man. Who cares?

I do have to question why you would think that the racists who used to hang blacks in the south would vote for a black man to begin with. It’s not like the racist is going to say, “oh no! Harold Ford would be with a white woman! I’m not going to vote for him now!” as if those racists who “used to hang blacks in the south” would have voted for him in the first place.

You see, your position makes not a lick of sense when you apply that thing called “reason” to it. Perhaps this ad offends you because it appeals to your “racist fears of the past”.

Lik you are full of shit. Everything that you wrote and attributed to me is a chicken shit attempt to shift blame and refocus the point of the topic. Slave owners used to copulate with their slaves, racists will still copulate with black females, and who you fuck with is no proof of anything. The fact is that racists in the south or wherever they are located want to punish a black man for his transgression (copulating with a white female) and one way of doing that is voting for the other guy.

Absolutely correct Bat.
Zell Miller just stomped Chris Matthews’ guts out.
Line after line out of Miller’s mouth landed like mortar-fire right on Matthews’ fat head.
I’ve been waiting for someone to slap that impudent bastard in the head, for years.


Nowadays falsehood stands erect and truth lies prostrate on the ground.

Elinas is still in denial from the beating he took from Lik.

Game Set and Match, Likwidshoe.

“Shift blame”? You’re the race baiter here, are you not? I’m simply playing your game. Don’t like it, eh? It’s not too fair, is it? Pretty insulting as well, isn’t it? My my, how the tables have turned with you being the one defending against this phantom racism.

The fact is that racists in the south or wherever they are located want to punish a black man for his transgression (copulating with a white female) and one way of doing that is voting for the other guy.

Oh...is that what they’ve been saying? Forgive me for I don’t go to their meetings and don’t have a clue into the insight of these racists you talk of. I’ll have to take your word for it. You seem to be the one clued in as to how these racists think. Hmm...I wonder why that would be.

What? Is that supposed to be an answer to something?

The subject is Chris Matthews, his race baiting (or not if you agree with him), and this commercial.

Try staying on topic. Bringing up another just makes you look desperate. If you have no answer, it’s best to say nothing.

Yep. And you’re so good at doing this that you find instances where it doesn’t exist.

What a wonderful world I live in. Racism is now so low that people have to invent it in their minds.

Anyways, I see that you’re a bit unhinged at the suggestion of staying on topic. We can go back to discussing your race baiting if you’d like.

According to you, because I am a middleaged, white male, I am an expert on racism. You and your hero Billie Jeff continually screech about how racist I am. Therefore I must be an expert. By your logic.(I fully expected to be struck by lightning while typing those last 3 words.)

Racism is one of the mainstays of the Dems.  If they gave up their anti-white racism, they would have very little to talk about.
