MSNBC’s Chris Matthews took a break from his nightly “Hardball” tirade to grace the set of Morning Joe to unload on the GOP for opposing extending unemployment benefits and increasing the minimum wage.
Appearing on December 20, the “Hardball” host proclaimed that Republicans “don’t like these bums” and proceeded to call Republicans “these racists” for opposing liberal policies on unemployment benefits and raising the minimum wage
Chris Matthews: You’re ‘Racist’ If You’re Against Raising The Minimum Wage
Matthews began his Friday morning rant by proclaiming:
There's a conflict on the right, hard right, nasty right. If you make fun of people for being unemployed or being underemployed and you get food stamps and stuff like that. Help them make more money. Are you against the working poor, people catching the bus at 6:30 in the morning and work 40-50 hours a week? Are they bad guys or good guys? They’re good guys. Treat them like good guys.
In Matthews’ distorted view of reality, refusing to extend unemployment benefits -- which max out at 99 weeks in many states -- is racist and that you view those individuals as lazy “bums.” Rather than looking at the plethora of data that shows that extending unemployment benefits hinders job creation, Matthews would rather throw extreme statements at Republicans, going so far as to use the typical MSNBC line of calling the GOP racist and bigoted for opposing liberal policies.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: See there’s a problem here. There's a conflict on the right, hard right, nasty right. If you make fun of people for being unemployed or being underemployed and you get food stamps and stuff like that. Help them make more money. Are you against the working poor, people catching the bus at 6:30 in the morning and work 40-50 hours a week? Are they bad guys or good guys? They’re good guys. Treat them like good guys. You can't make enemies of all the working poor and the poor and say we don't like the bums or the ones with fancy fingernails or whatever the hell they’re talking about these days, these racists. Or you’re going to help the people out that are trying to work and you got to take sides with the worker bees. Okay, you may not have a great education but you're going to work every day. And you're showing up. You're doing your job. We’re going to give you a decent wage. That’s a good value for Republicans.
Sort of like the “Boy Who Cried Wolf”. After a while, it has no impact.
Oops, sorry, “Boy” is racist.
You’re also a racist if you are against the Washington Redskins Indian mascot too! Right Chrissy?!
You’re racist if a liberal disagrees with you.
Among other things the minimum wages discriminates against the poor and low income like many blacks becasue companies can no longer afford to hire them at beginner's wages. If anyone is "racist" it is those in favor of the minimum wage.
That’s really what the word has come to mean.
The people I see in those jobs are mostly white older women with few skills. These jobs do not warrant low skill pay. (say $10-12).
Yeah, like I care what you have to say on the subject, or any subject.
You are a pimple on the ass of time, make that a festering boil.
The day your faggot, tingly, worthless ass mouth is clamped shut forever will be the day the Constitution and the Republic is safer.
Whew! Now that made me feel a little better, for a moment.
That about sums it up.
Reminds me where Janeane Garafolo said voters who supported Herman Cain were “racist!”. The word has truly been emptied of any serious meaning anymore.
You are a white hating racist AND A CONSERVATIVE HATING BIGOT... IF YOUR NAME IS CHRISSY MATTHEWS.
wonder what wages Chrissy pays his housekeeper, gardener and cook? How much do you tip the doorman, Chrissy? Shouldn’t he make about the same as you?
In other words, anyone who believes in freedom is a racist (according to Matthews).
Matthews: You are a *racist* if your think airplanes *should* have wings along with a rudder in order to fly and get you to your destination *safely*.
What is a Chris Matthews?
Is it human?
How about if you coupled a raised minimum wage with cuts in welfare? Would that be racist?
Not that I’m advocating that right now, just want to get Prissy Chrissy’s operating parameters down.
Several years ago I recall a “scientific” study that showed white babies are born racist.
Just consider the source. It’s Chris Matthews talking to his liberal/socialist/leftest mongrel listeners.
'Scandals slow down Obama Admin'...written from the point of 'oh there are all these subversives aound the president that are responsible for all these issues', and none of it has anything to do with Obama, and these 'scandals' are causing the president pain. It's absolute bullshit, but the typical LIV sees this headline and thinks just that.
Why isn't the story labeled.....'Obama scandals slow down the Administration'?
Lord knows that if this was a Repbulican scandal, that's exactly how it would be written.
...POOR CRISSY knows it’s all over....the train ain’t slowing down no matter what his love tries to do...I only hope he takes it to heart and takes the leap, I hope he is driven into such a depth of despair that he starts to foam at the mouth on national TV and has to be restrained and institutionalized.
So what? I’m racist for existing, so I don’t worry about this in the least anymore.
FU Matthews.
