TV Host Takes Strong Stand Against 'Whitey' Story [Chris Matthews]

Chris Matthews may be an appeaser when it comes to confronting radical Islam; but he is tough as nails, apparently, when it comes to standing up to his own American TV news network.

New York media industry insiders say the liberal MSNBC anchor and talk show host of Hardball and the Sunday morning program named for him has threatened to resign if the network is the first to air a rumored video recording of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey." In fact, the sources add, Matthews, who clearly supports Barack Obama, has threatened to resign if the network aggressively pursues the story.

Matthews' position is said to be that airing the video, if it exists, would be an incendiary "political act" instead of a journalistic scoop because it would revive Hillary Clinton's chances of "snatching" the Democratic Presidential nomination from Obama, and possibly trigger a "race riot."

Himself a former political operative, Matthews is discouraging investigative reporting into Obama's radical past--dating to his community organizing stint in Chicago--including ties to rabid Marxists and Black Nationalists.

Matthews has also let it be known, the sources say, that he will not tolerate discussion of Obama's Muslim background, insisting that the matter of his religious identity is "settled." The fact that he is America's first Muslim-born Presidential candidate according to Islamic religious law, and may also be considered a Muslim apostate, assuming he formally converted to Christianity (which is in doubt), is "beyond the pale of acceptable reporting," Matthews has reportedly told professional colleagues and friends.

Another story that Matthews is bent on ignoring: Chicago businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko, 52, was convicted Wednesday of fraud, money laundering and aiding and abetting bribery in a plot to squeeze illegal payoffs out of firms hoping to do business with the state.

Rezko has known Obama since he entered politics, raised money for his Illinois campaigns and was involved in a murky 2005 real estate deal with him.

Matthews is an increasingly outspoken critic of American foreign policy--from the Iraq war to standing up for Israel and against nuclear-arming Iran to the need to militarily defeat Islamist terror. (Click below for a sample.)

In a speech at Harvard University's Institute of Politics early last month, Matthews accused his MSNBC bosses of being "basically pro-war during the [Iraq] war." He made the comment in the context of a larger discussion about alleged editorial bias at the network.

From MSNBC Hardball with Chris Mathews (transcript)
March. 21, 2006:

TAYLOR(spokesman for freerepublic.com): We have kids that wear Che Guevara shirts here in the United States.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but they're kind of cute at this point, aren't they? They're not about somebody out to get us now. I think there's a difference. I mean, that's kind of camp almost, isn't it?...is Che Guevara the symbol of hate in the United States anymore?

TAYLOR: Yes.

MATTHEWS: I don't think so. I mean, a lot of our kids wear them. I see kids wearing them all the time, even my kids wear them. It's like a Robert Marley T-shirt at this point.

Che flag sends 'disturbing' message about Obama
Candidate attracts 'people who think mass murderers are romantic revolutionaries

The Fox TV affiliate in Houston has captured images of a volunteer in a campaign office for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

And while the Obama campaign has issued a statement placing a modest distance between the campaign and its "volunteers," the issue of such an image on display in an office operating on behalf of a man hoping to be commander in chief of the world's last remaining superpower is raising alarms.

Even Obama supporters have been forced into corners because of the issue, with one likening the Texas state Republican Party to Guevara, to whom have been attributed hundreds of executions of anti-Castro leaders.

Under the heading "Barack Guevara," Investor's Business Daily raised some of the more pointed questions, to which the campaign responded only with a statement: "The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign. ..."

Does the video exist? If it does, the most probable source would be the campaign staff of Herself, still the Cold and Joyless.

But this alleged recording, if it exists, has its greatest value in being concealed by the Herself Corporation, until the opening of the Democrat National KonKlave in Denver, when Barack Mohammed (since we are no longer to refer to his given middle name) Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, is presented with either doing the “right thing” (surrender to Herself, and acquiese to her demands, whatever they may be), or the contents of the recording will be revealed to certain selected superdelegates and the mainstream media, for later release if needed.

And you thought the Testicle Lockbox was a myth.

Chris Matthews does not KNOW the meaning of “Hardball”. This is playing baseball with a hand grenade.

a rumored video recording of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey."

Just for fun, let’s pretend for the moment that what she COULD say she DID say. Click the tune and sing along!

MICHELLE BOMBSHELL
Tune: "Michelle"

Michelle bombshell
She says words that won't go over well
That Michelle

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

"We're being kept down by the white man"
That's what she had to say
Her words won't go away
Like, "What's up with Whitey? Why'd he go and screw us again?"

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

Barack is beginning to wonder:
"What's with my bitter half?
Oh, not another gaffe!
What's up with Wifey? Why'd she go and screw up again?"

It's like glue . . .

Barack is preparing to throw her
Far underneath the bus
With all who cause a fuss
What's up with Ayers and Wright and Rezko, Pfleger and friends?

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

And what's up with Wifey? Why'd she go and screw up again?
That Michelle . . .
