Chris Matthews is a birther? - claims Obama was Born In Indonesia

MSNBC via Birther Report ^ | August 7, 2010 | Chris Matthews

[Brytani]

But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background? Chris Matthews - December 18, 2007 MSNBC Hardball Transcript

[Brytani]

Huge amount of praise to The Birther Report for uncovering this priceless comment from one of MSNBC premier nutcases!

It seems even Chrissy "Tingles" Matthews is a birther.

During a December 2007 episode of Hardball, Matthews doesn't just allege but states as fact that Obama was born in Indonesia. How his comment escaped notice until now is anyones guess but now that Chrissy is on the record, the question must be asked - Tingles, are you a racist, a liar or just trying to destroy Obama?

“Chrissy is on the record, the question must be asked - Tingles, are you a racist, a liar or just trying to destroy Obama?”

I think he’s prepping for hildabeasts run.

[norraad]

Gee, I wonder all what else was ridiculed by fools will “come true” all of a sudden when gazed on by the ‘chosen’?

[dalebert]

lol If Crissy say so ..it must be true..time to impeach

[Brytani]

Chris Matthews Birther Ping - Can you please ping your lists - it’s well worth it.

[Brytani]

LOL, of all the people to be on record saying that Obama was born overseas...priceless!!

[R0CK3T]

That 0bama truly is Kenyan or Indonesian or whatever, really isn’t THE story.

IMO the BIG scandal is the complete sellout of AMerica by a one party press who has taken on every form of a Pro-Fascist Dictatorship.

Your “obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com” link doesn't work.

But why wouldn't you just post the entire “blog article” on FR?

[ozzymandus]

The only thing that amazes me more about Pissy Matthews than his abject stupidity is his MSNBC commercial where he brags about what a brilliant debater he is. Yelling at people why they’re trying to talk is not “debate”, Pissy!

[norraad]

Agreed, but just don't pay attention to them is becoming the latest fad, Alex Jones is leading the pack, followed jealously and closely now ever body from Rush to Savage trying to reflect the leader w/o copying too closely.

[Brytani]

Oh, I agree completely. I’ve never had a doubt the media knows all about Obama’s background and has spent years covering for him and the DNC in general. JournOlist simply confirmed what we’ve always known.

Since at least Kennedy’s Presidency, if not longer, journalists has been covering for Democrats and in many ways deciding our elections.

Here's the quote so you don't have to go and hunt for it:

MATTHEWS: So, is Hillary backer Bob Kerrey pretending to sell Obama, but clearly putting the shiv in?

Here is Hillary Clinton defending him and Bob Kerrey: “I think the remarks were very positive. I know Bob. He was being very complimentary of Senator Obama. He was making a point that Senator Obama makes himself all the time, that, because of his upbringing and his heritage, he is, in his view”—“in his view”—catch that line—“very well-suited to communicate with the rest of the world. And he has just himself that he wants to have a particular outreach to the Islamic world. So, I think Senator Kerrey was being, you know, very generous in what he said.”

But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background? Remember a couple weeks ago, when White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, who speaks for the president of the United States, giddily explained that she didn‘t know anything about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Well, today, our Cuban expert at the White House reacted to Fidel Castro‘s suggestion that he might leave office—quote—“We‘re just continuing to work for democracy on the island, and we believe that that day will come soon.”

Lucy, can you ping the list on this one? Thanks!

[Brytani]

It’s not a blog article but an entire transcript of his Hardball show (way to big to paste) and I’m not sure why the link didn’t work.

The Birther Report found the transcript which is still on MSNBC’s website. Hattip goes to the blog for discovering the transcript.

Let’s try the links again....

Indonesia? I thought it was Kenya? Doesn’t “the Kenyan” sound better than the Indonesian? ;-)
