Post-debate, MSNBC’s Matthews
claims Romney supporters
fueled by racial hatred of Obama

Fox News, by Dan Gainor

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 10/23/2012 9:43:15 AM

Presidential Debate III was more like “Rocky” Round 16, an afterthought where neither boxer really lands a clean punch on the other and where the crowd has dozed off or gone to bed. Only in the land of MSNBC were sparks flying. Famously tingly MSNBC host Chris Matthews decided the whole race came down to, well, race. In one of the more outlandish rants of an outlandish career, Matthews said the right hates Obama more than they want to destroy Al Qaeda, according to The Hill. The rant is too priceless to edit: “I think they hate Obama.

People don't hate him because he's black. They hate him because he's an evil human being and a treasonous president. It's a content of character thing.

Chrissie, racist vote! It doesn't matter in our country the reason we choice to vote for or against a candidate. All that matters is we get to vote and have a small say in the people that dictate, I mean goobern, us. So if a white guy votes against a black guy in favor of another white guy, that’s OK. And if a black guy votes against a white guy in favor of another black guy, that’s OKL as well. As a matter of fact, more blacks vote for the black guy than whites vote for another white guy. So we do allow racism in this country and liberals love it when the racism is selective (blacks voting against whites in favor of another black). It’s the American way, Chrissie.

“Chrissy” and all his Progressive Pals have "Ideology Disorder".
Their “ideology” ( biased, hate-filled, class warfare thinking) is so mind-bending that they cannot see any other valid approach to a problem.

They are ALL Racists themselves.

They can't tell the difference between someone who is NOT a racist but disagrees with Progressive Big Government Plantation "solutions" and someone who IS a racist.

If you cannot tell the difference between a racist and someone who is NOT a racist, then YOU’RE A RACIST!

Chris Mathews needs to get a grip. The Romney supporters do not like 0bama and his lies, they do not like 0bama acting like a bully and a thug, they do not like 0bama's ignorance or arrogance, it has nothing to do about race. 0bama makes it really hard to like someone who is as mean and snarky as he is.

I always thought that racism was when you treated someone different because of their race.

Given how the lie-berals used to attack Bush with every possible line, and no conservative ever called it racism.

Yet if a conservative says anything about N∅bama, they are instantly accused of racism by the lie-berals.

So it is clearly the lie-berals who are treating N∅bama differently, not the conservatives. I don't know of one conservative who has ever attacked N∅bama because of his race. But we attack him constantly for his socialistic policies, his love of islam, and his general hate of everythign American. That has nothing to do with his race.

It's as simple as most people AREN'T liberal.
Only 20% of the population self-identifies as liberal, therefore, 80% of the country doesn't support their agenda.

Overwhelming majority of Democrat politicians in DC are liberal - they're over-represented.

"Liberal icon John F. Kennedy" ???

Can you imagine a DemocRAT of today saying this:

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge—and more."

Can you just imagine that? Right. Neither can I.

The fact is, today's DemocRAT would be doing just what Clinton and Obama have done - APOLOGIZE. BOW. GROVEL.

Kennedy was no liberal- at least by today's standards. And mind you, I'm no Kennedy fan.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said he’d been looking forward to a White House celebration of Memphis soul music for one reason. “Let’s face it, who does not love this music?” he asked Tuesday, opening the night’s concert in an East Room bathed in amber light and transformed by the addition of a stage and backup musicians. “These songs get us on the dance floor,” Obama said. “They get stuck in our heads. We go back over them again and again. And they’ve played an important part in our history.” Memphis, Tenn., was segregated in the 1960s,

Hundreds of lucky state employees are opting to jump into retirement before they hit age 50 thanks to loopholes in the law, a Herald review of the latest pension report shows. In the past three years, there have been 475 state workers who retired before age 50 — going into their golden years with full pensions for some and partial payouts for others, a Herald review found. New reforms went into effect for state workers hired after April 2, 2012. Those reforms included increasing the retirement age for new hires and an “anti-spiking” clause preventing future retirees

Actually, she is backing off. Here’s the thing about her now-famous MSNBC promo: Either she’s saying something radical or she’s saying something so banal that it’s barely even worth saying. The radical interpretation is that she thinks parents should have less say over how their children are raised and that “communities” should have a larger role. The very, very banal interpretation is that she thinks communities should do more to improve children’s lives and that thinking of them as “our children” might help forge that mentality.

President Obama’s meeting with a dozen Senate Republicans on Wednesday will be at the White House. It’s the second meeting Obama has had with Senate Republicans — and one with different optics that his first meeting, which took place at the opulent Jefferson Hotel. The White House said Obama picked up the dinner tab and paid for it with his own money. Earlier on Tuesday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus suggested the second dinner not be at an expensive restaurant. “Instead of eating out as the president and senators did last month, I suggest they eat in,”

WASHINGTON- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he wants U.S. military law changed so senior commanders can´t overturn courts-martial verdicts in major crimes such as rape. Hagel said the Pentagon´s top lawyers would prepare legislation for Congress that would strip commanders´ power to toss out convictions, "except for certain minor offenses that would not ordinarily warrant trial by court-martial." Convicted defendants still would be able to appeal their cases. But in a move berated by advocacy groups for military sexual-assault victims, Hagel also said he would recommend commanders retain the power to alter courts-martial sentences,

Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The White House says Obama is going to argue that lawmakers have an

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered. Information detailing what happened before, during and

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough voiced his agreement with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful. Because, you know, there are a lot of guys out there in the Senate and they are going out because it’s a free shot.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, one of the towering architects of Obamacare, on Tuesday openly criticized program managers for not moving quickly enough to build the system, warning that if it gets off to a bumpy start it will just get worse. Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."
