During MSNBC's live coverage of Pennsylvania's Democratic presidential primary, co-anchor Chris Matthews brought up the possibility that the North Carolina Republican Party would run an "overtly racist" campaign against Barack Obama ...
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the April 22 MSNBC coverage of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary from 11:21 P.M.: ...

1.) Obama's Illinois Senate campaign was helped by William Ayers - an unrepentant domestic terrorist - and any criticism of this or that Obama is still on friendly terms (is friends with) an unrepentant terrorist (Ayers) cannot realistically be defended by the Democrat Party or their MSM mouthpieces.
So they must attack anyone who raises these points, or attack anyone who raises the issues that 2.) Obama helped to lead the Million Man March with a racist anti-Semite (Louis Farrakhan), or 3.) his "bitter" comments, or 4.) that he sat in a church for 20 years, and had as his pastor/mentor/friend/spiritual adviser an anti-Amnerican racist (Rev. Wright).
I don't doubt for a second that Republicans will be smeared and called racists by MSM Democrat mouthpieces.
In truth, though, if Obama loses the Dem. nomination, or loses in the general election, it won't be about race at all.
It will be because of 1-4 and other things - like him being to the left of Ted Kennedy. That will not help him at all in the general election.
Part of me thinks that the MSM/Dem Party might be getting ready to find someone/something else to blame other than Democrat voters if Obama loses in the general election, and/or if Dems do badly in Congressional races.
What do you think they might try to blame an Obama loss on - in either the Dem nomination process or the general election?
What say you?
This is ridiculous.
It’s racist to poinbt out a black man attends a black racist church for 22 years.
Mccain better be ready to nut up.
Will the GOP be accused of racism?
Is the Pope Catholic?
I’ve heard the audio of the NC ad. It’s not overtly racist, it’s overtly anti-Communist and anti-com-symp. It doesn’t matter the color of the skin, the same claptrap that the ‘Rev.’ Wright spouted from his pulpit can be heard from white academics (e.g. Ward Churchill or Noam Chomsky), and any politician cozy with them would deserve to be excoriated for the assocation, and any politician who endorsed another who was cozy with them would deserve to have his or her judgement questioned.
Link that works:
Email Chris, MSNBC and accuse them of phoney racism in that they hate all other Americans except black socialist pacifists! Make them defend that one as Pubs , Christians and conservatives have had to defend attacks on their character for decades.
Republicans/Ind. Conservatives had better get ready.
They had better be ready to go on the offensive and stay on the offensive and not let Dems and their MSM mouthpieces keep them on the defensive.
Chrissy is trying to intimidate voters into voting for Hussein.
Saying if they don’t, they are obviously racist.
racism: probably the most overused, misapplied word in the English vocabulary.
Typical Crap Matthews...Typical LibPig tactics
...say anything against their chosen candidate, and they accuse you of racism, of naziism...and being a doodiehead too!
Nothing phoney about their racism..Crap Matthews has made a good living as well as a career out being a race baiter.
I’ve already been called a racist after expressing reasons why I would not/could not support Obama, none of which had a thing to do with his race.
White guilt will not get Osamamama elected he is an empty suit.
LOL...will the Dems accuse the GOP of racism? Is the Pope Catholic? This would be the same old slop they’ve been ladling out since the Willy Horton ad was first used by Al Gore against Dukakis, but was pronounced “racist” when Bush #41 mentioned it. And who can forget the ad the Dems ran against W that implied he would drag a black man behind a pickup truck, a la the James Bird murder. This is the customary dirty campaigning that Dems do every four years, so why should this one be any different?
Quit respoding to idiots like Mathews etc
Quit being on the defensive
Quit even trying to answer questions about racism .
Quit wasting energy and go on the offensive
I show what Matthews and other mouthpieces are up to (The thread and link)
Then I gave reasons why they are doing what they are doing (before the first post).
I then stated that Repubs/Ind Cons. will have to go on the offensive and make THEM (MSM and Dems) defend the words and actions of Wright, Ayers, Farrakhan, etc, and defend Obama hanging around them.
Who would ever think the truth teller (Linda Daves) would be seen as the villain?
When has the American people stopped honoring the truth teller?
This is the type of thing that happens in dysfunctional family systems. Everything gets turned around to make out the one who speaks the truth as the one with the problem.
The truth is never the problem, the problem is the problem.
Thank God for people who are still willing to stand up for truth, wherever it leads, whether it’s with the Republicans or Democrats.
