Matthews: RNC Ford Ad Plays to Worries About 'Losing White Women to Black Guys'
MSNBC-Hardball/NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/25/2006 7:26:37 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On last night's Hardball, Chris Matthews hinted at what he had in mind regarding the ad the RNC has been running in Tennessee about Dem senatorial candidate Harold Ford, Jr. Claimed Chris:

"It has ethnic overtones, sexual overtones."

Tonight, Matthews took an ugly, explicit leap down into the atavistic mud. Interviewing Sen. Dick Durbin [D-IL] - who was relatively reserved in his comments - Matthews began by asserting that the RNC's goal in running the ad was to "get their point across to perhaps angry white voters, or people who had a problem with a black senator already."

Later, Matthews embraced the absolutely worst stereotypes of a racist South, claiming the RNC was:

"playing on white sensitivities about losing white women to black guys. It was so obvious what they were doing there."

I'd encourage readers to view the ad at Michelle Malkin's site here, and judge for themselves. In my opinion, if anyone is doing his worst to stir racial animosity, it is Chris Matthews.

Aside: earlier in the show, Matthews argued that the Iraq war was intrinsically misconceived since "anybody who studied history for two weeks would have known that Third World countries don't like being invaded by white people from the west." Looks like Matthews has really got it in for The Man!

Matthews is a pile of excrement. It is now the "standard of excellence" in the liberal MSM to see how low you can go -- that makes you good in their faux reality with zero morals and ethics. It sad how many duped ignorant viewers still absorb the absolute crap these political shills put out.

Weird. Here I would have thought that, if anything, the ad would tick off black women who can't stand to lose black men to white women. Oh well.... what do I know?

Now I know that the Dems have seen accurate polling information. They've lost the 2006 elections. They know it. They are bitter and angry. Now they are just striking out in blind hatred.

What a hustle! Ford should lose. The race card was played for a BS issue. This should backfire like the Klan dragging death commercials that were run against BUSH.

As a white man who once dated a black woman for a year, I can say that black men are the ones who should be worried. We Italians know how to treat a woman.

So to Matthews it's ok for black men to just accept white trashy women and playboy bunnies?

People will say I am crazy for saying it, but...

When I was dating, Many attractive females who were interested were black. I don't know what it is, but there are quite a few black women who like white boys... or maybe it was just me. ;-)

I sense some projection going on here. In my experience it's the "black power" types and white libs who have a problem with interracial dating. I don't know why the black folks would care, but here's my theory on the white libs: If everybody is of mixed racial background in the future, that's one less way The Man will have of dividing us into little groups of victims and malcontents.

It is amazing how the Dummycrats are complaining about negative ads. They are doing the same thing to Republicans.

These adds are media driven. Who makes the most money from running the ads? The MSM. That is why they want a horse race.

You know, GLGB, if you quit watching this show, its audience would halve.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I swear most of the tiny audience he has left are conservatives who watch just to get pissed off at him (and he never disappoints). Me? I'd rather see him unemployed.
