I hope for one thing when people go to vote: that they look at Barack’s background, that they look at the age of the two candidates, that they look at their abilities and really open up their hearts and say “what’s really good for my kids,” who don’t have any color awareness. Kids don’t think about race. Think like your kids for once. Think the way they think. It would be great if the older people in the country, the 70 year olds, the 80 year olds who are suspicious of change to say, “you know, why don’t I think the way my kids are thinking and think about the future.” Whatever they decide, just open up your heart to this prospect of something different. That’s what I hope we do.
Of course, as Morrissey points out, what Matthews is really saying is that he wants us to vote for Obama because he is half-black. He’s saying that people shouldn’t care about race and they should just vote for Obama because he’s so clearly better qualified. But how is he better qualified? That is continually unclear except that he does better than John McCain at sending shivers up Matthews’ leg.

IOW Matthews is RACIST!
The liberals need to get their story straight, here is Pissy Matthews saying that kids aren’t racist, but the liberals in the UK say that kids are, their proof is that toddlers say “yuck” to funny foreign foods, that means they’re racist.
AA for the CiC is like using AA to choose your heart surgeon.
Ooooh, boy.....Matthews should know better.....MANY American’s find Affirmative Action stupid...BUT, they won’t talk about it....
LOL...last time I looked Matthews was a raving idiot!
Half racist?
Reminds me, that MSNBC is pretty darn WHITE.
If I voted like a 7 year old without reasoning skills, I would vote for Obama.
Matthews is advocating that, as we approach the voting booth, we adults abandon everything we have learned about integrity, truth, committment, honesty, patriotism, and traditional values and simply become child-like and just simply pull the lever for Obama because he is half-black.
What a crock of horse manure!
the tingling down Chrissy’s leg is making him hot and ready.
A sure way to get the lesser of two qualified candidates for a given position:-)
Chris Matthews == a person who is NOT qualified for crap!
Nailed it. How is voting FOR someone because of their skin color any less racist than voting AGAINST someone for the same reason?
Looney-Toones is no longer a comic strip. It is alive and well in the Democratic party and its surrogates.
OK................. When do I get my allowance?

“Kids don’t think about race. Think like your kids for once. Think the way they think.”
Sorry Chris, but Geraldine Ferrraro had it right. Many people are voting for Obama because he’s black, and the college kids more than anyone else.
During the 1950s and early ‘60s, panty raids were very popular. Some guy in the men’s dorm would yell, “panty raid” and scores of guys would stream out of the dorms and barge into the women’s dorms (illegal back then) and rush into the coeds room and steal items of underwear. I think the women actually cooperated with this in a goodnatured way. (Heard about it, before my time).
But I don’t think college kids have changed all that much. Still a lot of herd mentality and conformity. So, I think the college support for Obama is a lot like the old panty raids.. Someone yells, “let’s vote for the black guy” and off they go, or it’s just a sort of unspoken group understanding.
It is time to end affirmative action in all its forms in the US. Obama proves that a black man can aspire and possibly become the next president. Obama should be asked what he thinks of reparations for black Americans, though I won’t hold my breath waiting for a MSM reporter to ask the question.
“Colored Fountain” = racist
“No Whites Allowed” = Affirmative Action
Any Questions?
