Hat tip to Adobe expert and author Mara Zebest for inquiring about the Chris Matthews ad. The ad was also mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's radio show today. This is not the first time Chris Matthews suggested Obama was born overseas. It was in 2007 that Chris Matthews reported on the air that Obama was a Muslim and born in Indonesia. It's also not the first mainstream media outlet to scrub information about Obama. Fox's Bill O'Reilly scrubbed a segment about Obama's social security number.

Transcript from Rush:

RUSH: Merritt, New York, back to the phones. Tom, great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Listen, I just want to make a quick point about Chris Matthews and just how crazy he is. An example of the fact is these commercials that hes been running, that run incessantly on his network. Hes actually running a commercial, Rush, that is antithetical to everything theyve been talking about for the last two years regarding this birther issue. I dont know if youve seen it, but he actually runs a commercial touting American exceptionalism, saying that an example of American exceptionalism is the fact that Barack Obama came from another country and was elected president of the United States.
RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Theyre running that as a promo on MSNBC?
CALLER: Yes, they are.
RUSH: Its Matthews that says that?
CALLER: Its Matthews that says it.
RUSH: Where is he? Is he in an abandoned railroad car graveyard when he says that, like Sergeant Schultz is? Where is he?
CALLER: No, hes not. Hes actually, I believe, sitting I dont know it looks like something thats overlooking the White House, and hes actually motions to the White House at the end of the commercial and he says, You cant do that in China or France. You cant go to these countries and become Chinese or French, and then he says, American exceptionalism, and he points to the White House.
RUSH: Well
CALLER: Its insane, its insane.
RUSH: So he actually says that thats the definition of American exceptionalism that you can come from another country and be president?
CALLER: Yes. And he holds Obama out as the example.
RUSH: Yeah. Well, respect we much.
So the point of this video is that Matthew said stuff that was edited out? I don’t need to waste 5 minutes of blather to accept that. Weak.
Matthews knows something we don’t know. It irks him to have to keep it under wraps. He’s working up to spilling the beans but he’s being held in check by the powers that be. One day we’ll know what he knows. Given Obama’s dismal poll numbers, that day will probably be sooner than later.
I’ve seen that commercial many times, but all I heard was fingernails across a chalkboard - weird.
Fake, rattle and roll.
So does anyone anywhere have the actual video where Chris Matthews claims that Obama was born overseas? Or is this like that Obama “I’m not running for president” quote in his debate with Alan Keyes that has been so thoroughly scrubbed that even Keyes himself has no recollection of it?
lean forward?? LMAO- they’re finally admitting what we knew all along- they weren’t leaning forward, they are bending over for obozo and co.
and you of course, find nothing suspicious to ask any questions about. you are so busy demanding proof of us,
yet you have zero curiosity about Obama.
probably you think we should just focus on his record, and ignore any actual crimes.
but i have a LOT of curiosity. i want to know how a Hawaiian teenager got a Connecticut SSN,
that period laws required he apply for IN PERSON.
i want to know what is on that ONE missing page from SAD’s divorce papers. or the missing pages from her passport file. or BHO’s missing kindergarden records, right through his locked college records.
Video or it didn’t happen.
We should’ve seen Obama’s ineligibility coming from afar.
Didn’t Bush I, Clinton and Bush II worship at the altar of a One-World Government religion?
Get a black man from Africa and make him POTUS and we have the beginnings of a One-World Government.
Next POTUS will be from Outer Mongolia, and don’t you birthers bitch, because that’s how it’s going to be from now on.
(I wonder if any of the GOP presidential candidates will be confronted about the birther issue. Is Bambi eligible the 2nd time around or will they give him a pass for the second time? I’m sure that Russia, China and India don’t play those silly destructive games.)
If you're going to make the claim, provide the evidence. This "it was scrubbed from the internet!" stuff is a nonsense excuse. I'm not buying it.
Do some homework...don;t be lazy.
He probably wants to help Hillary. Barack may give him tingles up his leg, but Hillary gives him the happy ending.
The lower Obama’s polls go the more we will learn about his hidden background. He is on a downhill slide. Consumer confidence has hit Jimmah Carter levels. Nobody likes a loser but the Dems are especially jittery. They don’t want to face an epic wipe out in ‘12. If Obama becomes too much of a liability—and he will—they will sabotage him in ways we couldn’t dream of. It’s coming; bank on it.
So I need to scour the internet for some non-existant Chris Matthews quote? It doesn't work that way.
I have a better idea. How about those that are claiming Matthews said this cough up the link. I won't be holding my breath.
How do you dig something up that has been scrubbed?
