Matthews: Blacks, people in Mozambique and Jamaica thank me for playing the race card
During the online-only “Overtime” segment of Bill Maher’s Friday night “Real Time” program on HBO, a viewer asked MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews whether his willingness to accuse others of racism has ever gotten him into trouble.
“Chris Matthews, are you taking heat for willing to call a comment racist sometimes, before anyone else has raised the issue?” Maher said, reading the viewer-submitted question.
Because politicians sometimes rely on “the racial divide” to “get votes,” Matthews claimed, he has a duty to call out racism wherever he sees it.
“Everybody I’ve met who’s African-American has come up to me, about six inches away from me and very personally said, ‘thank you,’” Matthews said. “I met some people in Mozambique. I met some people in Jamaica. It is an international reality, and everybody feels it on that side of the racial divide, and it’s disgusting that white people to whom the dog whistle is aimed, refuse to acknowledge it, is there. It’s been part of our politics. We thought it was gone. It’s back and it’s being used to get votes.”

What do you call some one who is obsesed with race?
Who uses race as a tool to silence political speech?
Who sees racism hiding every where?
A fox smells its own asshole first.

I’m sure Matthews meets a lot of African dash Americans in and around his Chelsea neighborhood.
How many even know who the hell he is? Isn’t his show on during Katt Williams and Pimp Chron?
And they get within six inches of that spittle drool chucker? Dead give away this story is make believe, much like Little Dick Gephardt and his imaginary friend who wanted to pay more taxes.

Matthews is desperately trying to compensate for his racism.
150 years ago Chrissy would have been beating and raping Mooches great-granny.

If God allows me to out-live Mr. Matthews, I will find where he’s buried and piss on the headstone.

The involuntary eye-roll I have always experienced at the mere mention of CM’s name or the sound of his voice will now forever be accompanied by nausea as I simply cannot rid myself of the image of him shoving that food in his mouth during Paul Ryan’s speech. Barf.

“…Everybody I’ve met who’s African-American has come up to me, about six inches away from me…”
He actually measures the distance between himself and “African-Americans”? What sort of six inch measurement device does he whip out?
What a weirdo.

I’d like Chris Matthews to meet the Nigerian former boss of mine who once quietly wondered why American blacks complain so much, and wished that they understood how good they had it.

Absolutely true Noelegy,
any non-American blacks I have met while working over-seas have nothing but contempt for the spoiled brat blacks in the USA.

Obviously he thinks blacks aren’t smart enough to identify and call out “racism” all on their own.

Was Chris trying to organize the Mozambique and Jamaican communities into voting for Obama?

A universal translator is a device common to many science fiction works, especially on television. First described in Murray Leinster’s 1945 novella “First Contact”, the translator’s purpose is to offer an instant translation of any language.
In a “Top Secret” Laboratory Fortress at the top of the world, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has assembled an elite cadre of Stephen Hawking clones in order to develop a modified “Universal Translator” that is capable of translating the racist code inherent in “ConservativeSpeak”.
When Matthews tested the aptly named “ConservativeSpeak Racist Code Decoder” it proved to be everything that Chris Matthews could ‘hope’ it would be, ‘and’ he didn’t want to ‘change’ a thing. The “ConservativeSpeak Racist Code Decoder” machine correctly (in Chris Matthews’ estimation) found racist overtones in every word, in every speech, in every utterance, every Conservative ever made.
Chris knew it all along – Conservative = racist. With the proof right in the Merriam Webster Unabridged Dictionary which proved that every word in the dictionary was loaded with racist overtones when spoken by a Conservative. No longer would the “enlightened liberal collective” have to worry if they were hearing things spoken by conservatives correctly. The “ConservativeSpeak Racist Code Decoder” had proven once, and for all that everything a conservative says is indeed – racist.
If you don’t agree with Chris Mattews, and the “ConservativeSpeak Racist Code Decoder”, then you’re obviously a racist, because only a racist would deny being a racist. It’s true! Just ask Chris Matthews, he’ll tell you!!!
And, Chris . . . Here’s one american honkey, crackah, white MoFo, that salutes your dedication, and drive, in your lonely quest to unmask all the conservative racists among us. Thanx, and a tip-o-the hat to Chris Mattews.
Oh yeah . . . Obama/Biden 2012 “Forward to Serfdom”.
