Chris Matthews Accuses Himself Of Being Racist
TAMPA (BHN) – MSNBC’s Chris Matthews suffered an on-air meltdown Thursday after apparently realizing he had referred to African Americans as “colored” while mentioning the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) endorsement of Barack Obama.
Upon mentioning the organization, Matthews suddenly stopped talking, stared blankly into the camera for nearly 10 seconds, then launched into an angry diatribe about racism.
“There it is! There it is, the politics of hate based on race! People like me make me sick!” Matthews yelled. “Barack Obama is not colored, but just like a Tea Party member jacked up on moonshine, that’s what I’m calling him! G*ddamnit, I hate every bone in my racist body…”
The network quickly went to commercial, returning with a rerun of the Rachel Maddow Show.

With his recent restaurant incident, it looks like he’s showing the beginning signs of Olberwoman syndrome.
So its just a matter of time before he snaps, loses it and gets fired or committed.
Election day should be funny watching this bozo come unglued and meltdown.

Speaking as a racist, homophobe, anti-poor, country club member, redneck, teabagger, islamaphobe, bitter clinger, gun totin’, trailer park trash, Walmart shopper, reptilian thinker and woman-hater, I say we scrap the whole PC thing and start over.

In Matthew’s case, the line between parody and reality is getting mighty thin.

got to start referring to them as Comcast/MSNBC, and COMCAST/NBC. We have to start attaching the Comcast name to these cesspools that they own and enable. MSNBC / COMCAST BUILT IT

I heard a few decades ago on a school grounds that it takes one to know one.

The folks at MSNBC are gonna all have aneurysms when Romney gets elected.
Nearly no-one watches the channel, I think it’s just a club for the ultra left news people to hang out and pretend they’re a news network.
One day someone got the idea of putting up real cameras and selling a few ads now and then to supplement the snack budget.

In reference to Chrissy thinking everyone is racist, I recall what my Grandmother used to say quite often – “A skunk smells himself first”. She did not know Chrissy, but she knew a lot od skunks just like him.

The guy’s from Northeast Philly. NORTHEAST PHILLY BORN AND BRED. Now, I’m not into ascribing political views onto people based on where they were born, but this clown is an obvious racist who just can’t bring himself to shed the prejudices ingrained into his brain decades removed from his formative years.

The only time I see Steffenapolis, Maher, Madcow, Tingles, Toure, Harris/Perry,Soledad O’B,Leno, Leatherman, wassername shultz, Fat Ed shultz and the rest of their ilk, is when I am playing IOTW. And that is good because I always see them as objects of ridicule; absolute, unhinged assholes.
That’s why I’m an IOTWer.

So close to the truth it’s scary. I reiterate my prediction that Chrissy has a huge meltdown and they carry him off — on camera. Very soon.
