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!
Unam,
The RNC had enough brains not to put her in a Bunny outfit as to not get into the copyright issues, but with that said, she was not as polished as Hugh's typical bunnies, ergo she had a "party girl" look.
This is what I think riles Matthews to no end, Congressman Ford's party boy image is out, and it is another potential Clintonian/Wilbur Mills mess waiting to happen and he knows it, he just doesn't want to come out and say oh no here we go again.
IT probably riles Chris that this young Politician with a lot of potential I have to admit, has less "gravitas" because of his Playboy image exposed (no pun intended :-) . Impeached President Clinton is probably envious that he can't party with the Congressman.
This is Psych Ops, the RNC got in their heads with the whole Clintonian thing and they know it and they know it bugs them, but they can't let it go! KRYMB !
Yeah, I know Ford is using the race hustle, crying "Foul, racism!" because the RNC ads are making the kitchen too hot for him. (Then, too, there is always the hypocritical aspect of it. Reverse racism OK for Dems.)
"playing on white sensitivities about losing white women to black guys.."
ROTFLMAO Sorry, but this thought NEVER even occured to this white Freeper. I believe that this is exactly what Chris is thinking and he's trying to pin it on other whites. This is nothing more than Chris revealing his true feelings and insecurities.
Stuck on stupid in the 60's.
Now I get it! You consider yourself a conservative, but you still have a problem with interracial couples!
Once again, the GOP has gotten snookered. The winning issue in this case is the hypocrisy of Ford to make an ad of his own in a church and then to party with the Playboy set.
The Dims have now successfully turned it around and made it a racial thing, and even a lot of FReepers have been taken in.
Maybe not. In my case, I've pretty much quit watching, in large part because glgb does it for me. Thanks Mark!
Here your thought is correct.
A black person told me there is an infighting between black people fighting one another.
If you are extremely black the lighter colored don't like you and, vise versa.
If a black person marries a white woman he is look down upon from the black people.
This black person was from the Carolina's from a predominate
colored neighborhood.
I witnessed some of this while in the military.
Liberal politicians usually use other avenues to get the word out that a Republican is being racist; they don't have to pay the "paranoid about conservatives" MSM to pick up on it - and then, when a liberal politician has a history in the KKK, uses blatant racist cutting either to black or white language or anything else racist; it's just A-OK. When you take money from pornographers, or cavort with Playboy bunsters, then you can't rebutt on the basis of substance. In other words, when you act SMUTTY, then you're gonna get depicted smutty. . . oh, and there are women who act like the honey in the ad and tell men to call them all the time - that's par for the course today, even among the womens' libbers.
No,I tell you what is "demeaning to women", the hypocritical refusal of the N.O.W. gang to support the numerous women who accused the Drawer Dropper in Chief of actual sexual misconduct, but their frenetic frenzy to jump to the sound of one woman's vague, nebulous whine about a hair on a Coke can and Judge Clarence Thomas.
I'm a bad white man for having the same thought I think you did...
You consider yourself a conservative, but you still have a problem with interracial couples!
OMG, if you had even one clue....
That picture of Mathews and Durbin together remind be of the old Sesame Street skit with the two alien pupets that would just stand together and go yup,yup,yup,yup
We just got back home from early voting. Yup. I agree.
Tiger Woods is smiling.
Nobody is buying that this ad is racist except for liberal fanatics.
Ha. It took me a while, but I got it.
