Of course, the 1988 Willie Horton ad was also 100 percent factually unassailable, which is why that ad resonated against then-Gov. Michael Dukakis (D-Mass.).

Just discover the race card, Crissy, or just not able to find any other argument? Or are you implying that only blacks are on welfare? That sounds racist to me, Crissy.

Never forget that Chris Matthews was successfully replaced by an orange traffic cone. Come on, msnbc, put on an orange traffic cone instead of Chris. Ten bucks says the traffic cone is smarter, more interesting and gets higher ratings.
