Does that make me a racist?
So what? The 3/5 was settled law an liberals love settled law.
Unbelievable. Liberals step in that hole constantly, completely misinterpreting the 3/5ths Compromise.
How do you count 3/5ths of a vote?
Seems to me like the actual ratio of votes counted is more like 4:1
I believe Prissy Matthews consumes three fifths before spewing forth his lunacy on MSLSD.
Dafuq is he ranting about? Dude is seriously insane. I mean, he should not be allowed to walk around a town unrestrained.
It was the democrate slaveholders that considered the black slaves less than human. Not the Republicans.
It was the North - - ie., the people who opposed slavery - - who demanded the “3/5” of a vote for slaves. The South would have loved giving slaves a full vote. Heck, 2 votes! This ignoramus Chris Matthews is the perfect face of MSNBC. He’s a real spitfire (snort!).
I’m fed up with this crap. I’m fed up with people who assign people to a group, and assign characteristics to every member of the group.
I wonder if he realizes that Southern slaveowners wanted to count them as full people....while Northerners, both abolitionists and nonabolitionists, wanted to them to be zeros?
If the slave states had gotten their way, the House would have been profoundly and irrevocably pro-slavery. Unrepresented slaves would have vastly added to the number of slave state congressmen.
The 3/5 compromise prevented slavery from ever being totally accepted as federal established law.
It wasn’t pretty, but it set the stage for emancipation.
If Chris would ever take a trip in a Wayback Machine, next time he starts tippling ‘Rebel Yell’, he would see that his fellow Democrats wanted their personal property to be counted as an entire person.
So they could vote their proxy as well as get more votes in Congress.
Kind of, well no—exactly what they do today. Slave owners.
I think it’s time we all acknowleged that Chris Matthews is an entertainer and not a journalist, and doesn’t believe even half of what he spews to his “amen corner” of an audience.
The best evidence of this is that Matthews is ... still alive. Because anyone who believed what he claims to believe, with the intensity he claims to believe it (all) would have long ago worked themselves into a fatal stroke or heart attack ...
I know, it's confusing...
All you need to know about Chris Matthews...

Isn’t it interesting that a racist, misogynist, mouth-breathing Conservative, Fox News anchor, can just blow-the-doors off a Limp-Wristed-Thrill-Up-My-Leg, Flaming Liberal News Canker...

The lies and accusations are just getting bigger and bigger and even the dumbest people are beginning to notice.
Dear Chris, take 30 seconds to check out this thing called google.
The three 5ths of cheap scotch Chrissy drank last night are still talking although his brainstem is down.
