MSNBC via Birther Report ^ | August 7, 2010 | Chris Matthews

Posted on 08/07/2010 9:44:23 AM PDT by Brytani

But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background? Chris Matthews - December 18, 2007 MSNBC Hardball Transcript

Huge amount of praise to The Birther Report for uncovering this priceless comment from one of MSNBC premier nutcases!

It seems even Chrissy "Tingles" Matthews is a birther.

During a December 2007 episode of Hardball, Matthews doesn't just allege but states as fact that Obama was born in Indonesia. How his comment escaped notice until now is anyones guess but now that Chrissy is on the record, the question must be asked - Tingles, are you a racist, a liar or just trying to destroy Obama?

Obama Release Your Records - Birther Report Blogspot's report can be found at

Matthew's Hardball transcript found at source URL about 3/4 of the way down the transcript.

I think he’s prepping for hildabeasts run.

That 0bama truly is Kenyan or Indonesian or whatever, really isn’t THE story.

IMO the BIG scandal is the complete sellout of AMerica by a one party press who has taken on every form of a Pro-Fascist Dictatorship.

But why wouldn't you just post the entire “blog article” on FR?

The only thing that amazes me more about Pissy Matthews than his abject stupidity is his MSNBC commercial where he brags about what a brilliant debater he is. Yelling at people why they’re trying to talk is not “debate”, Pissy!

Oh, I agree completely. I’ve never had a doubt the media knows all about Obama’s background and has spent years covering for him and the DNC in general. JournOlist simply confirmed what we’ve always known.

Since at least Kennedy’s Presidency, if not longer, journalists has been covering for Democrats and in many ways deciding our elections.

Here's the quote so you don't have to go and hunt for it:

MATTHEWS: So, is Hillary backer Bob Kerrey pretending to sell Obama, but clearly putting the shiv in?

Here is Hillary Clinton defending him and Bob Kerrey: “I think the remarks were very positive. I know Bob. He was being very complimentary of Senator Obama. He was making a point that Senator Obama makes himself all the time, that, because of his upbringing and his heritage, he is, in his view”—“in his view”—catch that line—“very well-suited to communicate with the rest of the world. And he has just himself that he wants to have a particular outreach to the Islamic world. So, I think Senator Kerrey was being, you know, very generous in what he said.”

But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background? Remember a couple weeks ago, when White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, who speaks for the president of the United States, giddily explained that she didn‘t know anything about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Well, today, our Cuban expert at the White House reacted to Fidel Castro‘s suggestion that he might leave office—quote—“We‘re just continuing to work for democracy on the island, and we believe that that day will come soon.”

It’s not a blog article but an entire transcript of his Hardball show (way to big to paste) and I’m not sure why the link didn’t work.

The Birther Report found the transcript which is still on MSNBC’s website. Hattip goes to the blog for discovering the transcript.

Let’s try the links again....

Let me know if it works this time please.

Agreed. Obama would have never made it to the Whitehouse if not for the media.

It was really obvious what he was— for everyone to see— when his pastor was on tape ripping on America.
How they convinced the American public that Obama wasn’t listening to these kinds of sermons for 20 years is beyond me.

Or what about the 57 states comment? Talk about a Dan Quayle moment! They were too busy trying to give Palin her Dan Quayle moment and they somewhat succeeded; her career isn’t dead yet that’s the difference.

I don’t know if there’s an easier way to do it, but a person could have a list of names that they copy into the “To:” field of the message and then their post goes to everybody in the list. So if you know of people who want to know about certain things you put them in a list and use that list when you want to post an alert about that subject.

I’d really be surprised if this had never come out before but I honestly can’t remember ever hearing about it.

But if it’s a repeat, it’s a well deserved one considering how Matthews has been attacking Birthers lately...

I should also have said that when you reply to a post a notification of your response is sent to whoever is in the “To” field and to you. So if you respond to a post you can easily look in your “Posts to you” to find that thread again. The notification you get lets you click to see the thread or messages you responded to.

So it’s a way to alert other people to a thread or comment, or to mark the place for yourself so you can easily find that thread or comment again.

It took me a bit to figure out what “BTTT” meant, but it’s basically a person posting any old thing to themself to mark the spot so they can come back and follow the thread through.

At first I thought it meant that they were giving my post the gong. lol.

Don’t you remember the outrage that Hillary KNEW he wasn’t eligible and she dropped it? We had conversations that the Chicago machine was scarier than Clinton’s. then we figured that he offered her Sec of State to shut her up.
