Chris Matthews and the Grand Kleagle

Late on Friday night’s edition of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” former Bush administration aide Ron Christie, author of “Black in the White House,” pressed host Chris Matthews on the suggestion that if Republican Sen. George Allen’s alleged racial slurs in the 1970s are a character flaw, what about the Democrats re-electing Senator Robert Byrd, a former Klansman, this fall? Matthews protested in a lecturing tone that “everyone knows about it....It’s been raised a thousand times on his record.” After claiming he was not defending Byrd, he told Christie: “The guy’s 90 years old. Give him a break.” Emphasis mine.


Thanks to Newsbusters.

Hey may as well have just said, “It’s ok when Democrats do it!!!”


The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Ah yes, of course Matthews was a top (if not the top) aid to liberal Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil.


The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

Its ok when the dems do it because there is a double standard. Byrd is a known racist but still keeps his seat. It will never change. Robert KKK Byrd has said some stupid things but he still keeps getting elected.
