Matthews Suggests Opposition To ObamaCare Similar to Support For Segregation
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Opposed to ObamaCare? Maybe you're just a secret segregationist . . .

As absurd as it sounds, that's the possibility that Chris Matthews posed this evening. His guest was Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, a Democrat who has declined Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue's request to sue the federal government over ObamaCare. Matthews reached back to 1964 to suggest that Perdue might also have opposed the Civil Rights law.

Matthews? Is he still spitting at the tv screen? I thought that they removed him last year?

Someone should remind Xris Smathews that it was the democrats and their constituents that supported segregation.

Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker couldn’t even buy into Chrissy’s racists claims.

Riiiight....just like global warming "deniers" are akin to Holocaust deniers.

.....and Tea Party activists are exclusively motivated by racism.

Thing is, most libs (like Chris Tingle here) really believe the drek that flies out of their pieholes.

Dems and the MSM - sorry, didnt’ mean to be redundant - conveniently ‘forget’ that it wat Dixie Democrats who fought most vehemently against passage of the Civil Rights Bill and had it not been for Republican support it never would have passed.

They hate to admit that Conservatives truly do believe that men should be judged by the content of their character.

Who in the hell listens to Chris Matthews? I’d rather have a root canal.

Please see #10.

PS: by coincidence, I did have a root canal this morning, without anathesia, and it was a lot less painful than watching Matthews ;-)

Matthews is a One Trick Pony.

Hate/race is his substitute for rational reasoning.

I’m part of the vast right wing conspiracy that sent Monica to the oval office wearing a thong.

Chrissy do you guys ever listen to yourselves before you go onair? Do you not realize how utterly desparate that line sounds? You guys do know the race card offically expired on Nov 4,2008 and due to overuse will not ever be renewed? You guys really shoud go back to writting your own material since the talking points from the DNC makes you all sound like broken records. Is there not a single original thought on your side of the aisle?

Looks like Chrissy Matthews is catering to his lowbrow moonbat base. What an embarrassment.
