A scandalized Chris Matthews on Friday railed against Dick Cheney for having the audacity to call out Barack Obama's "lie" on Americans being able to keep their health insurance. Naturally, the Hardball anchor insinuated that the reason behind this was racism. An angry Matthews fumed, "Dick Cheney comes right out and calls [Obama] a liar. When a right-wing back-bencher did that four years ago, he was called out for rebuke even by his own party." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
The host continued, "Well, now what was condemned as historic bad behavior comes snarling out of Dick Cheney's mouth and nobody says to shut up." Matthews hinted, "Is this, calling the President a liar, the new language of American politics. Or is it a language specially treated for the country's first African-American president?"
DICK CHENEY: We look at the mess that has been created out of "Obama care" by the president having said, You can keep your policy if you like it, you know, guaranteed, period. That turns out that was a lie. And he repeated it over and over and over again.
Former Newsweek editor Howard Fineman appeared to echo the racism charge:
HOWARD FINEMAN: Well, I would normally be reluctant to make the accusation of racism...I say what's the missing element here? What's the "X" factor here that makes them go so crazy? Well, there are two things. First of all, we live in divided worlds of politics and reality. They deny his validity because they deny the rest of the world outside of the world they live in, number one. And number two, I think race has to be part of it because they see everything that he does in apocalyptic terms. Why? What other explanation is there?
Matthews in nothing more than a loud mouthed liberal idiot. He needs to be shut down.
Matthews is a ‘Chatty Cathy’ doll. Pull his string, he cries “Racist! “
Well he is a liar...
In Christine's world, half-black people are inferior and cannot be held to the same standards as everyone else.
But he is not a racist. He thinks that people who believe that half-black people are not inferior are the racists.
By denying black people can lie, Matthews thus proves he himself is a virulent racist.
Obama is a liar. And Matthews is a deceiver, a puppet, & an imbecile.
B. Hussein Obama will go down in history as the worst, most corrupt President of all time.
Shame on those who voted for such an unqualified, godless, and low-life delinquent to our highest elected office. One who supports murdering babies, marrying sodomites, and wrecking our economy with his foolish socialist agenda.
And those are their good points...
Wow, chris took mac daddies xxxx out of his mouth long enough to prove once again what a mindless sock puppet he really is.
Being called a racist no longer carries the stigma that it used to. Through overuse and misapplication the word has been rendered meaningless.
FU Chrissy.
Why don’t you just go down to the bath house and drink about a gallon of sodomite juice?
Did Cheney tell the truth or was it a lie? If it was the truth, what is the problem? If Cheney told a lie, then that is a problem.
I think we need a Constitutional Amendment to the effect that anyone who voted for Chairman Maobama thereby forfeited his citizenship. And keep it on the honor system, with no investigations or sanctions for not ‘fessing up.
“The accusation should be treated as vile, like using the c word or n word.”
Sorry, but I think we’ve taken this “forbidden words” crap to an insane extreme.
“What Obama promised the American people turned out to be a lie and he repeated it time and time again.”
Please explained to me again, Chrisie Pissy and Howie Finewoman, how is calling him a liar because he lied, racism? I see no connection. But because these two clueless bozos can’t refute what Cheney said with their own facts, they resort to the ever present race card as their retort.
Typical liberals. Blinded by the facts. Enlightened by their mental illness.
You said it! The fact that they cry racism at every charge now tells me that they've literally run out of viable excuses.
One thing for which we might thank Obama is the fact that the "Race Card" will become a thing of the past. I, for one, will happily tout the fact that Americans voted for a Marxist black man and got what they deserved: MARXISM. It has nothing to do with the color of the man's skin.
we have lost so much freedom in 1 generation it is stupid..when I was a teena ger I went to the kennedy center in dc to watch the cambodian dancers, just before the show started a security detail fanned out throught the theater and the announcement, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united States, it was Nixon, half the theater was ooing him, calling him tricky dicky, calling him a liar and a thief...today we are no longer considered within our rights to even comment on these snobby dweebs who are against our country, and are robbing us blind in the name of so called helping someone..we have gone from screaming at a president in the late 60’s to your a racist if you disagree, this president is not only a liar he is calculating our downfall financially which of course, opens us up to a whole array of BS..
I want to see reportrs screaming at him, why do you expect the american people to believe anything you say, it is obviously a blend of fantasy and pure bs..we would like to fire you for crimes against the nation..get out you unworthy lying piece of crap..
Chrissy now has a TINKLE running DOWN his leg.
