I told y’all that tingle up his leg was moving into his brain – or what passes for one. Watch the video. All I have to say, really, is: Dude. Your racism is totally showing. Straight up:
“…I was trying to think about who he was tonight. And, it’s interesting he is post-racial, by all appearances. You know I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know he’s gone a long way to become a leader of this country, and passed so much history in just a year a year or two. It’s something we don’t even think about. I was watching, I say, wait a minute, he’s an African-American guy in front of a bunch of other white people. And here he is President of the United States, and we’ve completely forgotten that tonight.”
He should have thrown in a little “I forgot because he’s so light-skinned and he didn’t use his negro dialect.” Evidently, that is totally cool to say.
More proof positive that true racism, those who only see color, is on the LEFT. Newsflash, Chrissy: We don’t think of him as black or white. We don’t “notice his color”.
We just notice that he stinks. We notice his woeful incompetence and his, frankly, disturbingly egotistical personality traits. You know, that whole character thing.
Hey Chrissy, we got past the race thing a long time ago. Obama is the POTUS, not a black dude addressing a room full of whiteys. Take a tip from Martin Luther King Jr., and judge the man by the content of his character…
I think the real scandal is the implication by Matthews that Black people cannot normally handle complex topics, and are somehow more “tribal” than Barack Obama. Matthews says it was the wide-ranging discussion that Obama had that made him (Matthews) forget that Obama was Black.
Had a Republican or FoxNews host said that, they would be skinned alive by the media and picketed by Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.
Nice post, Lori! Thanks for hitting this…When I heard what Matthews said I couldn’t believe it. Have to agree with Daily Planet…can you imagine if Trent Lott had said that?
Interesting how Rev Charleton and Jesse have remained silent today.
Matthews diatribe made me cringe last night. Plus I’m so tired of hearing the term “post-racial”. WTF? When will pompous liberals like Matthews understand it’s about “policies” not race. It’s an insult to everyone.
Exposing Asshattery in Washington, DC (and elsewhere if it makes me froth at the mouth), from a dame’s point of view. Hence, the snark and boobs. Probably should have said nag and boobs, but snark has a better ring to it. Contact info: Snarkandboobs@gmail.com
Stimulate Me!
Minds out of the gutter! Not THAT way. The Stimulus Package way. Oh .. that sounds just as bad. Oh, well.
Iranian Mullah Says ‘Scantily clad’ women cause Earthquakes. Duck!
Wondering if we will see Jesse and Al on the morning news programs? Keith and Rachel sure had squeamish looks on their faces.
