Chris Matthews: States’ Rights Equals Racism
David Horowitz's NewsRealBlog ^ | February 11, 2010 | Liz Blaine

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is never one to let the facts get in the way of race-baiting. According to Matthews and Tuesday’s Hardball guests partisan shills, constitutionally guaranteed states’ rights are now racist!

< snip >

Matthews built his strawman argument, jumping from John Calhoun to Jim Crow, as he equated nullification and interposition to equal rights. Equating the succession movement to the equal rights movement is just nonsensical, Chris. Just because people have used these words doesn’t undermine the validity of the concepts presently at hand.

You could almost feel the terror when guest, Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News, described the fright “stump talk about the 10th Amendment” and “state rights” gives the Left,

“Kind of gives you a shiver because that phrase is obviously freighted from the civil rights movement. To ignore the nativist racial aspect of this is to ignore the reality of the success and appeal of this pitch to a conservative Republican primary constituency.

I have never seen anyone so obsessed with skin color as Chris Matthews. Pathetic.

To ignore the fact the the Democrats opposed the abolition of slavery, created Jim Crow laws, and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 gives me shivers...

Right.

And I guess that the concept of “individual rights” than equals selfishness and hatred of others.

What a complete asshat.

So, politicians in Washington DC are not racist; but, everyone in Arizona is?

Pretty sad what Mathews has become. Once upon a time, he was a serious reporter who used to take the Clintons to the woodshed. He was respected here on FR. Seriously.

People need to acknowledge where and when this started. It actually started with liberals during the Bush administration. That’s why states like Michigan, NY, and California were where some of the first legislation was floated past committees.

Chris Matthews is the ultimate example of the progressives' ignorance and distortion of America's founding principles and its noble history as a bastion of liberty in the world.

Apparently you haven’t had the displeasure of knowing the former mayor of Memphis, Tn.

By critizing Matthews we give him power. Best to let his opinions drop on the floor with the rest of the garbage.

All powers not delegated to the federal government belong to the states or to the people.

...............

So to this fool, the delegation of power from one government entity to another is racism. Weird.

Doesn’t much matter what Chrissy thinks, it’s Constitutional. He doesn’t like it, I suggest he move to another country.

There’s probably been worse but his obsession shows how shallow and desperate he is. This is the best he and his ilk have now that their policies and politicians are being exposed as incompetent and fraudulent.
