In Chris Matthews' mind, a bigot is someone who's "culturally conservative" on race. Matthews equated the two on this evening's Hardball in attempting to explain exit polling from yesterday's PA primary showing that 38% of white Catholic Democrats wouldn't vote for Obama in the general election.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, somebody who doesn't like that group of voters might call them Archie Bunkers. I'll call them Reagan Democrats, John [Baer of the Philadelphia Daily News], they're Reagan Democrats: people who are culturally conservative, maybe a little culturally conservative on the racial front, on the ethnic front. They like to think of themselves as Democrats on the economic issues, but when it comes to the squeeze, on some of these cultural issues--didn't this all come up earlier about three weeks ago in San Francisco, this conversation.

Matthews equates cultural conservatism with bigotry ping to Today show list.

DNC TV’s Matthews should just join Obama’s campaign already. Enough of the charade. He slanders Conservatives daily.

There should be a picture of Chrissy next to the definition of the word, “twit”.

[ChiMark]

Why di’nt Chrissy flip the other side of the coin
and ask why Afro Americans voted 92% for Obama?

Lot’s of cultural reverse racism ,eh, Chris.

And what about the idea of having 93% of blacks that vote for Obama? Seems like everyone is afraid to talk about this kind of stuff for fear of stepping on someones toes. This is our country for petes sake.....it all needs to come out before the election.

Those Reagan Dems. They are just rednecks with guns and God. Get rid of em!

[RC2]

You beat me to it but stuff like this needs to come out.

[mimaw]

If these voters are so culturally conservative why are they voting for a Marxist married to a rapist? Just asking. I'd think they would not be voting democrap.

[Gene Eric]

Matthews is full of spit and, to his credit, has the ability to discharge it at high velocity.

[Rosemont]

I guess the 92% of the blacks that vote for Obama do it because they like his stance on capital gains taxes.

Crybaby Matthews is slandering everyone that does not support his Liberal messiah that gives him gross thrills up his leg.

Sad Chrissy last night:



RUSH: We had a sound bite here from last night on PMSNBC, their live coverage of the Pennsylvania primary; and it is wonderful here, ladies and gentlemen, to see the Democrats and the Drive-Bys forced to admit what we've always known about the Clintons -- and that is that truth does not matter to them. They will do anything, they will say anything, they will move the goalposts. They will do whatever it takes to win. The Drive-Bys loved this when the Clintons were doing it to Republicans, but now they don't like it when the Clintons are doing it to their favored candidate, Barack Obama. Here is a conversation, Chris Matthews and Tim Russert.

MATTHEWS: It's not just that the Clinton forces continue to change the score sheet and the scoreboard itself! They reserve the right to do it again and again and again! If Hillary can find any metric by which to justify continuing in the campaign, that will be the one we focus on that day!

RUSSERT: Yes. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Terry McAuliffe have one thing they want: Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee -- and they'll use any path that's available to get there. Those are the rules, according to Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Terry McAuliffe.

MATTHEWS: Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan!

RUSH: Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan. Chris Matthews is embittered. He looked so out of it last night, so disappointed. At times he looked surly, but he was just sad. Everybody in the Drive-Bys wanted this over last night. So now the Clintons: Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means do over after do over. It's like the way Bill Clinton plays golf. He hits a shot, doesn't like it, he hits it again; and doesn't count the first one. Mulligan after Mulligan after Mulligan.

Chrissy Matthews must be sooo frustrated at how this thing is going for Obambi........ PMSNBC will need to keep plenty of smelling salts handy on the set in case Chris faints a few times...... I just hope he doesn't ever become too.... BITTER.

If Crap Matthews chosen Lib candidate was white, Irish, catholic and had green eyes, and you didn’t vote for him, Crap Matthews would be accusing you of being a racist and a bigot....even if you were a white Irish catholic.

[dynachrome]

What BS! Dr. Thomas Sowell is 10 shades darker than obamamessiah.

So is Ward Connerly.

So is Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

FR would vote overwhelmingly for these guys!

[kittymyrib]

Funny...you never hear anyone question why 92% of the blacks vote for Obama. Are they “culturally conservative” too?

[DGHoodini]

I bet if you had a drinking game, wherein every time Crap Matthews accused or insinuated that someone or group was racist(s)...you hasd to drink a shot of Crown Royal and a beer...you’d be plowed by the end of each and every one of his shows. >%O)

[Vision]

Dumb and effeminate is no way to go through life Chris.

[DGHoodini]

I completely and wholeheartedy concur.

Crap Matthews is a dyed in the wool racist, who makes his living off of accusing his opponants of being racists...In other words, a Typical Liberal White Person.

[SuziQ]

38% of white Catholic Democrats wouldn't vote for Obama in the general election.

Only 38%? That's disappointing, considering Obama is even more liberal on abortion than Her Heinous. That number should be more like 80%, and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, nor the ethnicity of his parents. He's unabashedly pro-abortion, and NO serious practicing Catholic should support him for ANY office.

[MrB]

“typical liberal person”

Is it any wonder I couldn’t get any dhim that I know to take me up on my bet?

If Obama is the nominee, the dhims will say that anyone that doesn’t vote for him is a racist.
