Chris Matthews: Do Republicans Oppose Obama Because of His Race?

The last bastion of one who has lost the argument: throw out the race card. Does Matthews get aroused by Obama because of his race? Inquiring minds want to know.

[driftless2]

It would be very easy to prove that it’s not about race. Just have Obama resign and replaced by Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders. At least those two are open about their political preferences. You would see the same degree of hostility. Matthews is a complete boob.

"If we had about a million Heidi Klums trying to cross the border, the Mexican border of the United States..do you think that would be a problem with immigration right now

LOL! For the guys on FR, no.

Is a mullato or octroon really black?

"Mullato" is one of those olive sandwiches that you can get down in New Orleans, right? They say it's an American creation with creole roots but truth is the sandwich was born in Africa - probably Kenya. And isn't an "octroon" like 1/8th of a buffoon?

[griswold3]

I hear we’re ignorant buffoons that are too stupid to realize that we’re racist.

Just couldn’t possibly be Obama’s policies that we’re contesting because they’re really, really cool, so says Chris.

Chrissy and the Deposed Congressman need to wipe up their mess. What stupid, inane hate speech. Glad this loser was sent packing, and Chrissy, NOBODY IS WATCHING YOU DUNCE!

[mountainlion]

Obama and Bush's policies are almost totally opposite. Obama’s policies are opposite the right and conservative. The news media is racist against this country and half of the people.

[paulycy]

America is not responsible for Barack Obama’s skin color. He isn’t, either.

Barack Obama IS responsible for being a racist marxist.

And for that we oppose him.

[Salamander]

Is Marxist dictator considered a “race”?

If so, yeah.

[Shady]

Yes, All hair and no hat.

[Salamander]

“And isn’t an “octroon” like 1/8th of a buffoon? “

I think it’s a nasty cookie made out of coconut.

[Carley]

Clearly christingles has been tasked with screeching racism every moment from now until election day.

Pathetic loser, a lot like Mayor Bloomers.

[Lee'sGhost]

Seriously. Chris Matthews is too stupid to be taken seriously.

[ought-six]

“Is a mullato or octroon really black?”

Only when it supports an agenda.

This line of dialogue from a Three Stooges short keeps running through my brain several times a day when I read or hear the news.

The boys wreck this guys apartment trying to be paperhangers. When the guy sees the disaster, he says

“This is silly! It can’t be! It can’t be!!”

Mo, proudly replies:

“Oh yes it is!!!”

I decided to use this as my tag, as I feel like I’m in a never ending Three Stooges short...

[LRS]

Moe knows Mo...

[wetgundog]

I oppose Obama for his NATIONALITY - You get to pick

Kenyan or Indonesian.

[Paladin2]

I point that out as those who are all about “nuance” seem to stop when considering skin “color” There is some point where “white” suddenly becomes “black”. Even the South Africans were more nuanced. It’s just a point of annoyance.

"If we had about a million Heidi Klums trying to cross the border, the Mexican border of the United States, you know, the gorgeous blond from Germany or whatever, do you think that would be a problem with immigration right now, or is it really just ethnic?"

If we had about a million PhDs and engineers trying to cross the border rather than the teeming masses of uneducated poor that wouldn't be a problem either. Though I think ugly Democrat women would not be pleased with all those Heidi Klums either.

[Big Giant Head]

I oppose Chris Matthews, and he’s white. What does that make me? An equal opportunity racist? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
