MCNBC is racist. They were the All-Whites until they got Al Sharpton, and then the only reason they put on Sharpton is because they want people to think black people are as ignorant and stupid as Reverand Al.

MSNBC: The Projectionists.

Matthews is a disgrace to America and to public TV in general. Such a waste of human flesh. I long for the day of objective news reports without the IDIOT’s personal opinion. Freak of nature doesn’t even begin to describe this moronic POS.

OK, now “Piss Matthews” is going after Sarah Palin.

Dude [to Piss Matthews], Palin isn’t running for POTUS. Have you noticed Romney is the candidate. What Palin says doesn’t mean Romney or republicans, for that matter, are racist.

Sarah Palin’s response;

Sarah Palin
For the record, there was nothing remotely racist in my use of the phrase “shuck and jive” – a phrase which many people have used, including Chris Matthews, Andrew Cuomo, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney to name a few off the top of my head. In fact, Andrew Cuomo also used the phrase in reference to Barack Obama, and the fact that Mr. Cuomo and I used the phrase in relation to President
Obama signifies nothing out of the ordinary. I would have used the exact same expression if I had been writing about President Carter, whose foreign policy rivaled Obama’s in its ineptitude, or about the Nixon administration, which was also famously rocked by a cover-up.

I’ve been known to use the phrase most often when chastising my daughter Piper to stop procrastinating and do her homework. As she is part Yup’ik Eskimo, I’m not sure if this term would be deemed offensive when it’s directed at her or if it would be considered benign as in the case of Chris Matthews’ use of it in reference to Rachel Maddow. Just to be careful, from now on I’ll avoid using it with Piper, and I would appreciate it if the media refrained from using words and phrases like igloo, Eskimo Pie, and “when hell freezes over,” as they might be considered offensive by my extended Alaska Native family.

The outrageously outraged reaction to this expression from perennial hypocrites like Chris Matthews has only made me laugh. Mr. Matthews, let me share with you my favorite Irish toast: “May we always be happy, and may our enemies always know it.”

Guessing that the phrase “jive turkey” is now racist. While we’re at it, “cool” was copped from black slang as well.

The entire title is: Chris Matthews, Who Used the Phrase 'Shuck and Jive,' Now Calls Sarah Palin Racist for Saying 'Shuck and Jive'

I'm getting just real sick and damned tired of Chris Matthews and his ilk running their mouths on Sarah Palin like she was some kind of gin-mill tramp.

Chris needs an attitude adjustment.

What's that, Chrissie Tingles relaxing with a 5 a.m. cuppa Irish coffee?

See, I can do it too, Chrissie.

I guess I live a sheltered life. I must be the only one that has never heard the expression "shuck and jive". I'm trying to use context clues just to figure out what it means!

So is it the "shuck" or the "jive" that's racist, Matthews?
