Chris Matthews was on Hardball tonight covering the Republican National Convention with guests Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and John Hielemann of New York Magazine. In what is seemingly the natural progression of things these days with Matthews, the subject of the 'otherization' of the President was being discussed. Because, if you weren't aware already, Barack Obama is black, and any time a Republican chooses to discuss the failure that is his administration, the media will be there to quickly remind you that they only feel that way because of his skin color.
But tonight's episode of race-baiting with Chris Matthews was a bit odd in that the panelists somehow came to the conclusion that reminding people of the President's roots in Chicago politics is racist. In fact, simply saying Chicago is racist. (Video below).
Robinson sets the racial tone by saying (h/t The Right Newz):
"It's all part of this Barack Obama as 'other' sort of blanket campaign that has been waged by the Republican Party for some time now. It may be gaining some traction now, though I wonder why now as opposed to a bit closer to election."
Matthews then demonstrates his mind-numbing ability to take an idiotic statement, amplify it, and subsequently make it exponentially more idiotic coming from his mouth, when he said this:
"Yea, well let me ask you about that gentleman. What about now, is this constant barrage of assaults, saying the guy is basically playing an old game of demagoguery politics, where you take the money from the worker bees and give it to the poor people to buy votes. That's basically what they're charging him with. Old big-style, big-city machine of 50 years ago."
He added, "They keep saying Chicago by the way, have you noticed? They keep saying Chicago. That's another thing that sends that message - this guy's helping the poor people in the bad neighborhoods, screwing us in the 'burbs."
Hielemann helpfully interpreted Matthews statement, presumably for those too challenged to understand basic words (or as we in the business refer to them - Hardball viewers), by making this jaw-dropping statement:
"There's a lot of black people in Chicago.".....contin at site:

Chicago is an Indian word meaning stinky onion
I really am beginning to think that chrissy matthews is really in need of medical help. I’ve never seen anyone so obsessed with race baiting where it consumes every part of his being. He’s going to give himself a stroke.
Michael Moore (aka Lumpy Riefenstahl) claims that title.
MSNBO is becoming more like Der Angriff, the German daily controlled by the Party during WW2.
With Matthews...it’s “mindbuggering”!!!!!
He at one time filled in for Rush on the EIB Network. How far he’s fallen off the track.
Why do so many Democrats live in bad neighborhoods? What's the correlation?
That's false. The TANF breakdown by race/ethnicity by the federal government has it being 31.8% white, 38.0% black, and 24.8% Hispanic. The false meme of "most welfare recipients are white" comes from counting Hispanic as white.
He might be right. Chicago is a city of unrelenting crime, murders and streets taken over by black low life scum. This is their trademark now.
Come on, Mr.Matthews. Every word English language is racist! We did it that way so you could have a career. I’m on board with you though.. I look around my house and see racism..my work truck is loaded with racism..my dogs? You got it...racist!
It never ceases to amaze me, that day after day, someone reports on what this insignificant idiot had to say the day before. Why does anyone watch him, and who gives a rat’s ass what he thinks? Why not just ignore this dolt, and maybe he’ll go away? He and K.O. are nothing but blowhard
leftists, with nothing of import to share.
When is he changing his name to “Olbermatthews”?
If a bear S**ts in the woods and Chris Matthews is there to see it.....that makes the bear a racist. Sound logical reasoning to me.....!!!!
For all the Scandinavians on here (and it will be familiar to the Germans too):

After he first heard about Sarah Palin, all bears are racist to Matthews anyway.
Chris Matthews is becoming a parody of himself. It becomes obvious with each passing month. His ratings will drop and he will become another fallen media angel seeking his first estate and shall never find it. He shall become like Rather and Brokaw and shall cease from the airwaves of relevance.
Somehow the DNC thinks it’s more productive to have a demented old white guy screaming racist all the time than it is to have his buddy Sharptung out in front. Does “racist” mean more when a white guy says it?

Now that could be a fun game. Hell, this could make a great web site!
