Chris Matthews ‘Not Sure’ Whether You Should Call Cruz and Rubio ‘Hispanic’
Mediaite ^ | November 12, 2015 | Alex Griswold

EXCERPT

Matthews thought that was amusing. But when he tried to articulate why, he seemed to seriously not know whether Cruz and Rubio should be classified as Hispanic, referring to them awkwardly instead as "Cuban nationals" and "Spanish surnames."

"So you're trying to insinuate that Marco Rubio, a fellow, uh, Spanish surname, I'm not sure the right word is Hispanic for them," he said. "Because they are Cuban nationals or whatever, or come from Cuba. But, uh, is he going to insinuate that he is still basically for what he calls amnesty?"

According to Mathews, a Hispanic is defined by which party they belong to. There is no such thing as a conservative Hispanic.

"So lets get this straight. Obama, who’s mother was white and"

... whose supposed father was from a tribe whose ethnic make-up is minority black and majority arab.

Well, that’s consistent for the left. Clarence Thomas, Dr. Carson and Allen West and other black conservatives aren’t really black, eithe

... and mulattobama (his father was mostly arab; his mother was white) is "black" (i.e., "negrobama"). Go figure!

But he’s pretty sure that George Zimmerman was a “white Hispanic”.

I disagree. The proper term for Ted Cruz is PRESIDENT.

I still like Uncle Cracker for Chris since he wants to call others names.

Quoting Snopes

“Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya , his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro).”

...his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro...

Snopes authority notwithstanding (*cough*), I have seen pictures of Barack's alleged sperm donor. I would say that they have the African Negro and Arab percentages backwards (whatever his birth certificate claims).

A fairly moot point. What matters is that Barack is a one-hundred percent Christ hating, America hating, Marxist. I do not care about his family tree (other than the fact that they were also American hating, Christ hating, commies ... Barack did not fall too far away from that family weed).

I think everyone can agree that the best name for Matthews is “douchebag.”

LOL...this is illustrates points made here on good ol FR....there is mexican hispanics then there are other hispanics. The “others” generally look down upon the mexican hispanics...right or wrong it is what it is.

On the other hand, this will make no difference to the Hate Hispanics/Catholics vile here. You’re welcome!
