If that wasn’t bad enough- in the same interview Matthews said politicians have to “play tricks” to get the hispanic vote...

I’m sure hispanics across the country will be pleased to learn this.

They've already forgiven him, if they were upset with him in the first place. Democrats can insult each other, use racial intonations in speeches (Hillary) and call each other vulgar names, as long as they are "democrats" doing it.

Rep. James Clyburn....a real nasty nasty smelly piece of work. A lying POS. The other guy Cummings, I don’t know.

Some of Chrissy’s best friends are black. The other one is white.

At least Chrissy has never been mistaken for a man.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

No Al Sharpton confused Jessie Jackson with Contessa Brewer. Er, wait a minute it could have been Jessie Jackson confused Al Sharpton with Contessa Brewer.

Wait a minute it could have been Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Contessa Brewer all confused MSNBC with a TV station that anyone watches.

Wait a minute , who the hell are Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Contessa Brewer?

If a Republican had said that, he’d be accused of racism.
