Matthews: South Africa’s White Apartheid Leaders Were More Patriotic Than GOP
mediaite.com ^ | December 06, 2013 | Noah Rothman

Fresh off his interview with President Barack Obama, MSNBC host Chris Matthews appeared on Now with Alex Wagner to review what the president said and to express his thoughts on the passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela. Matthews linked the GOP to South Africa’s white apartheid advocates and declared that those who facilitated the transition to Mandela’s presidency were more patriotic and had greater regard for their country than the Republicans in Congress.

Matthews acknowledged a point that Rev. Al Sharpton had made earlier in this broadcast where he noted that the last apartheid president, F.W. de Klerk, recognized after Mandela’s release from prison that he would be ascendant and brought him into his government to facilitate that transition.

“I haven’t heard anything as smart as what I heard Reverend Sharpton say a moment go in five years,” Matthews said. “The difference between the way F.W. de Klerk handled the need for change and the election – democratic election of Nelson Mandela – legitimate election, he was never truly elected – for him to recognize his role in history which was to be a patriot at that point is so different than the way [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell handled the election of Obama.”

“They were willing, the McConnell people onto the far right, were willing to destroy the country in order to destroy Obama,” Matthews insisted. “Whereas, to succeed in a country he loved, F.W. de Klerk was willing to see it transformed to black rule so it could be done successfully so he could have his country have a better future.”

“The loss of Mandela and what his history is about and the key statement of why this has been so poisonous the last five years,” he concluded. “We have real people in this country with real power and status who have used that status of power to hurt the country so they could hurt the president.”

“That’s the most damming assessment I’ve heard and, I think, the truest,” Matthews lamented.

Can’t they do a 72 hour hold on this guy and give him a thorough mental hygiene exam? Doesn’t he have any family that cares about him?

video of a white woman being stoned and raped in South Africa by a crowd of blacks and with the consent of the South Africa government(mandela’s creation):

http://www.livingscoop.com/watch.php?v=MzE0Ng==#

mandela was a genocidal communist

they are committing genocide against white people in South Africa( stage 6 genocide) . google and check images also

the latest trend is rape , and disembowelment of white women in South Africa, with the Sanction of the black government(legacy of Mandela). google this if you think i’m lying

the U.S. news media celebrates this

"I wish we could all be friends after six o clock like when I worked for Tip!"

And then he says dumb stuff like this. I wonder why those days are gone, Chrissy? Surely you bear no responsibility for that...

Yeah, Matthews. Whatever.

You know what I am wondering about since South Africa and immigration are at the forefront right now...character.

“But Professor Mark Behr, of Rhodes College, in Memphis, Tennessee, and Dr Dennis Laumann, of the University of Memphis, have rejected requests that they help the family.

“I am not interested in assisting (white)Afrikaners claiming discrimination in a non-racial, democratic, post-apartheid South Africa,” wrote Laumann.

“In my scholarly opinion, there is absolutely no basis for their allegation - whatever evidence they may present.””

I'm wondering position Professor Behr and Dr. Laumann hold on immigration for illegals from south of the border.

I truly hope there comes a day when the liberals and commies of this Country are made to hide and shake with fear; for then I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that the only sensation Matthew's leg will be experiencing is a warm, wet flow.

Every time Mathews opens his mouth, he shows that there is nothing between the ears. What I want to know is when he is going to officially come out of the closet.

I agree. Matthews is a 50 IQ Nazi ape and shouldn’t be allowed on FR. We don’t allow Nazis here in FR, and Matthews is no different from the Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher. All this Nazi primate does is spout garbage. It’s time to ban this crap-throwing neanderthal.
