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.
Matthews is such a whore.
