Chris Matthews Blames Racist White Conservatives if Harold Ford Loses (Race Card Alert)
NewsBuster ^ | 11/5/2006 | Brad Wilmouth

According to Chris Matthews, if Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford loses Tuesday, you can blame it on white conservatives. On Sunday morning, as the MSNBC host appeared in a segment hosted by Alex Witt, Matthews chided whites for an unwillingness to vote for black politicians, contending that "blacks vote for whites," but "whites don't vote for blacks." Matthews added that in states with large black populations, fear leads whites to become conservative Republicans. Matthews: "The larger the black population, where the whites are afraid historically, and in Deep South states, they tend to become very conservative Republican out of fear, whatever, of an overwhelming, or a large number of African-Americans because of the kind of culture." Ignored by Matthews was the willingness of white conservatives to support black statewide candidates like Maryland's Michael Steele, Ohio's Kenneth Blackwell, and Pennsylvania's Lynn Swann, in this year's elections, while white liberals will be supporting white Democratic candidates instead, demonstrating that party affiliation is the deciding factor in whether white conservatives vote for a black candidate. Notably, in Maryland, Democratic voters rejected black Democratic candidate Kweisi Mfume, a former Congressman, in favor of white candidate and Congressman Benjamin Cardin during their party's primary, while the Republican nominee, Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, is black.

Pre-emptive race card strike.
1. Can claim victim status while still actively campaigning
2. Built in excuse if one doesn't win

It makes me feel positive to see (and hear) Chrissy Matthews so upset on the eve of an important election. He is in almost panic mode -- so upset that even after twelve years his DemocRAT party will not be in full control like the good ole days with his boss Speaker O'Neill calling all the shots.
Matthews is such an unmitigated J-E-R-K.

The Pentagon has confirmed today that Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and al Zawahri have been captured and are being held at an undisclosed location.

NOAA scientist have issued a press release today claiming they have found a simple low cost solution to global warming (rumored to have been assisted by algore).

Greek officials report that Natalie Holloway has been found living on a local oil magnate’s yacht.

A UFO has crashed near Ft Wayne Utah, the alien occupants are alive and being cared for by Air Force personnel.

We’ll have these and other stories, but first, out top story; New evidence has come to light that strongly suggests that Bush did in fact lie about WMD’s!

I’m Chris Matthews, let’s play Hardball.

DEMOCRAT whites don't vote for blacks. REPUBLICAN whites will vote for Republican blacks.

Chrissy has never been to the south. If he has it has been to a large city which are just as bad as those up north. Get out into the real world and his ranting sounds really stupied and biased aganist Southerners espically whites. He has no idea what he is talking about.. Dang Yankee.

I think people who thought that ad was racist are themselves racist. After all, it's Chris Matthews all atwitter over the white woman saying 'Call me, Harold." People who aren't racists have moved on. Even in the South.

Chris Matthews, who I never liked, has gone nothing but downhill for YEARS, with nary an uptick, even momentarily, into relevance, or worthiness of paying attention to. He is not worth anyone's time, except the entrenched MSNBC audience, who misidentify him as a pundit/commentator.

I don't give a damn what color they are, as long as they're Republicans.

That is a very good sign that the Republicans are going to pull off an upset victory on Tuesday!

I've been watching all the yackety-yak lefties this weekend. They are very somber. Allan Colmes is screaming like a girl at his guests. Alex Witch looks like she just lost her best friend. They are losing it.

Exactly. Ford Jr. himself has been hinting on TV appearances these last couple of days just the same line as Chrissy Matthews is articulating, as much as Chrissy's drooling and blathering can be called articulation. Blame it on racisim rather than Ford Jr's voting record and poor deportment (such as his turning up at his opponent's press conference).

Especially since most of Ford's main babes have been lily white.
