Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, attempted to hit Newt Gingrich with the same old liberal line about the GOP using racial code words whether it's Mitt Romney talking about welfare reform or Gingrich calling Barack Obama the "food stamp president." However, the former Speaker of the House wasn't having any of it, as he hit back: "Why do you assume food stamp refers to black? What kind of racist thinking do you have? Wait a second! Why aren’t you being a racist because you assume it refers to black?" (video after the jump)
Newt Takes It to Chris Matthews on His 'Racist Thinking' Geoffrey
The following exchange was aired on the August 27, 2012 Hardball:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know, its amazing how -- you know how African-Americans generally, and these people have e-mailed me in the last couple of hours today, how they react to this? Do you understand they have a reaction? They think this is racial talk. That this whole thing about welfare cheats is just relentless stuff thats never ending.NEWT GINGRICH: I think there are a lot of people in America who listen to people like you who tell them all day, yeah-
MATTHEWS: Oh Im alerting them now to this?
GINGRICH: -who tell them all day, every day how they-
MATTHEWS: So its my influence on them?
“I miss Newt”
If you watch closely you can see Crissy’s pants becoming darker and darker.
So, according to Matthews, hardworking taxpayers must pay higher and higher taxes in order to fund welfare benefits for able-bodied adults who are capable of working and choose not to, and no one is allowed to question this system because to do so is inherently racist.
Chris “I must yell all the time because I’m a moron” Matthews is your typical lib who calls everyone else racist to divert attention away from the fact that libs like him are the biggest racists going.
Mr. Spitball himself tried to get snarky when Newt was laughing at him, but Newt did the right thing by... LAUGHING at this complete leftist nitwit still trapped in a worldview from the 60s.
Hahahahahahaha! That was awesome seeing Chrissy get slapped around by Newt. More proof that liberalism is a disease.

I do and I;ll add they are not African American, they are either black or American but whites can be African too , not that I would expect the great unwashed left would know this
Newt’s got issues, but he sure knows how to nail someone to the wall.
Slip back into your coma Chris, you’re out of your league.
GINGRICH: You just had a panel where the guy who was black was telling the two guys who are white they were nuts.MATTHEWS: Yeah, fine so whats that mean?
GINGRICH: The two guys who are white are going Gee why are you not more sensitive to being black? I think Michael Steele knows hes black. I dont think this is a great shock to him.
MATTHEWS: You can laugh about it, but you don't think you've used it in the past? Whats a food stamp president?
GINGRICH: A food stamp president is a guy whose policies are so destructive, that he creates the longest unemployment since the Great Depression and he puts more people on food stamps, most of them white, than anybody else. Why do you assume food stamp refers to black? What kind of racist thinking do you have? Wait a second! Why arent you being a racist because you assume it refers to black?
MATTHEWS: Let me tell you why. Because from the beginning of paying attention to politics, Ronald Reagan would talk about the welfare queen, who was African-American. Hed talk about the young buck waiting in line.
GINGRICH: He didnt say that.
MATTHEWS: Yes, he did. He talked about the welfare queen out in Chicago.
GINGRICH: Who was, who was African-American?
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
GINGRICH: I dont believe he ever used the term, who was African-American.
MATTHEWS: No he didnt say, he didn't have to. He also talked about, let me try this.
GINGRICH: About a welfare queen who suffers?
MATTHEWS: How about the young buck waiting in line for food stamps to buy booze with? This is a history we have here. And this lingo is so clear to every African-American watching right now.
GINGRICH: So were not allowed to tell the truth about food stamps?
MATTHEWS: You sit here and chuckle about it as if its not game youre playing.
GINGRICH: Wait a second! Were not allowed to talk about food stamps because your sensibility tell us that 35 years ago? Give me a break! Cmon! Give me a break!
MATTHEWS: You've got that diabolic smile of yours, and I know you think youre winning here, but everybody out there whos black or white knows exactly the game thats being played here.
GINGRICH: No, but heres the game. You have the worst president in the last...
MATTHEWS: Oh, thats your shot.
THIS is how it’s done!
FINALLY!!! Way to go Newt.
Matthews is such a whore.
Newt could have mentioned Obama’s and the Demonrats’ ongoing campaign to add even more people on food stamps. Along with amnesty for illegals, it’s all part of creating a permanent majority for the Democraps. And it’s succeeding.
Yeah, me too. Most of all, I miss the spectacle that could have been of Newt hammering Barack H. Obama in the presidential debates. Only a fool would try fencing with Newt - and Chris Matthews is a fool.
You forgot his first name Co—Su—ing.
Reagan never used the term Welfare Queen. More likely a term used by LBJ or Byrd as how to enslave an entire race. What a sanctimonious racist.
Pray for America
This is great! Matthews got the tables turned on him big time!
