On Wednesday's Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews hosted a discussion with Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker and Salon's Joan Walsh as the trio discussed Parker's latest column, "A Tip for the GOP: Look Away," in which she argues that the Republican party is hurt by being centered in the South with its history of racial politics. Matthews, who would later theorize that Sarah Palin will exploit white racism by visiting "cul de sacs of whitedom," set up the segment by reading a line from Parker's column which compares Palin to a white character in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird who falsely accuses a black man of raping her, leading to his false conviction and death in prison. Matthews:
Here`s a quote that really grabbed me: "That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing. But southerners, weaned on Harper Lee, heard the dog whistle." Kathleen, "heard the dog whistle." Is Sarah Palin a poster girl for racism? Yes or no?
Parker suggested that Palin is indeed a "poster girl for racism," though "not consciously," and alluded to white racism being incited by a white woman and black man being pitted against each other, as in Sarah Palin versus Barack Obama, or in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Parker:
I certainly don`t think she, Sarah Palin, knows anything about Harper Lee or this deep history in the South, where you don`t position a white woman and a black male and pretend like there`s nothing happening there. There`s a deep, deep history. That`s why I mentioned, dropped the Harper Lee in there.

These people are off their heads.

Kathleen Parker is lower than whale shit.
What do you expect?
We’ve trained them for decades that all they have to do is
cry “racism”
and we curl up in a ball, stop criticizing them, and let them do whatever they want.
OF COURSE they’re going to do it every time they get a chance -
until it doesn’t work any more.
Matthews is utterly despicable.
Do you know what you find if you delve into the racist history of the south?....Thats right...Democrats.
I didn't realize that Kathleen Parker was on meth.
Matthews is like David Letterman and really has a secret crush on Palin but knows that she’s way too good for him and Parker is so jealous that she can’t see straight. People that didn’t grow up in the south love to analyze the state of racial harmony and get it wrong everytime. They show themselves to be the ignorant fools they are everytime they speak.

Anything these 3 morons recommend is a sure sign to do the opposite.
Always accuse the other side of what you are doing! Chrissy it is your master that is participating in racism and having a beer fest afterwards! It your master that attended a racist church for over 20 years.
Well, Parker just nailed her political coffin shut. If Palin does effect change in the elections and end up becoming President, Parker will be dropped by her leftist friends and the right won’t have anything to do with her. This woman is just hysterically envious of Palin.
Chris Matthews needs to look in the mirror. There he will find the slavering bigot he seeks.
He is a fool it should have been him instead of Timmy.
Sarah is a private citezen, no longer in the public eye. Why is Chris still obsessing over her?
Alaska? The South?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Chrissy is off his nut. Completely.
