I am older than Matthews. I remember the early/mid 60s. I do not ever recall hearing the word *interposition*. In fact, even though it is an obvious word, I went and looked it up. Was he referring to Maddox standing in the schoolhouse door? I do remember the *Impeach Earl Warren* bumper stickers, but I haven't seen one of those in nearly 50 years.

“Nullification” in today's context reminds me more of OJ's trial than of politics. The word we use against zerOcare is *repeal*. It has nothing at all to do with skin color.

There were no songs to anyone except Jesus at the rally. No one even joined hands, outside of some couples who were holding hands and some parents holding their children's hands. I didn't even see any frowns or down turned lips. I saw dozens of black pastors on the podium. I saw white and black pastors, side by side, even embracing.

Matthew and his crowd need to realize this is 2010. The protected classes of today are not white. They are not American citizens. They certainly are not entrepreneurs or taxpayers. His nightmare was a calm sun-drenched rededication of individual faith and quiet patriotism.

It was the time when governors like Ross Barnett of Mississippi and George Wallace of Alabama stood up to keep their universities white only.

Democrats, both!

The reason Chrissie thinks of things like that is because the left does that with their icons.

Who can forget Barack Obama, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm?

We are not facist wannabees. We don’t sing to our leaders, and we don’t want others to. And we certainly don’t ask our children to.

The only people we sing about are those long dead, and as part of learning history.

The hatred for Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Americans that don't agree with the current direction of this nation was dripping from Chris Matthews' lips Friday evening.

Oh don't be absurd, Crissy Mathews hasn't a hateful bone in his body.

He has got to be one of the most soft spoken content filled persons ever to exist.

Does anyone actually watch “tingles”? If not for FR and Fox I wouldn’t know about a single bit of goo that issues forth from this knucklehead. Or any of the others mentioned (Reagan Junior- what a disgrace!).

But I am left to wonder...is he aware that he is speaking about his OWN party when talking about the KKK, the southern governors who refused to allow black kids to integrate, those who wrote and enforced the Jim Crow laws? The left has always felt nothing but hatred- they are just overly convenient about its focus. Black people then, conservatives and Christians now. Without the hatred, they would have to face the failures that they are.

FOLLOW HIS LOGIC:

Once, States did bad things.

The Federal government made states stop doing bad things.

THEREFORE,

Everything States do is bad

THEREFORE,

The Federal government must stop States from doing anything

AND

The Federal government can do no wrong because it stopped some bad things once upon a time.

Is that about right?

“The site of the Scottsboro Boys trial — Lookout Mountain.”

Um, no. Scottsboro, Alabama is near Lookout Mountain, Tennessee (50 or so minute drive), but they are not one in the same by any geographical stretch of the imagination. The trials were in Alabama. Chris Matthews is a stupid ass.

[Art., quoting Christine Matthews transcript]

MATTHEWS: That is the man who comes to Lincoln`s feet to claim the mantle of Martin Luther King. Can we imagine if King were physically here tomorrow, today, were he to reappear tomorrow on the very steps of the Lincoln Memorial? I have a nightmare that one day a right wing talk show host will come to this spot, his people`s lips dripping with the words "interposition" and "nullification." Little right wing boys and little right wing girls joining hands and singing their praise for Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. I have a nightmare.

Many talked today about a religious center near Ground Zero being a desecration. What do you call this?



Interesting theory, Chris.

Liberal politician delivers stemwinder in Location A, \ Location A becomes "Sacred" to the entire polity.

And that means conservatives can't walk or speak or lead schoolchildren in singing there.

Interesting thought. Novel theory. Discussion?

<singing> Mmmmmm....mmmmm.....mmmmmm....

</singing>

Like you, I am older than Mathews and remember the early/mid 60's. To my knowledge, I never heard the words "interposition" and "nullification" associated with the civil rights movement.

May I add that, if anybody was, it was bound to be Democrats?

So often, when I read Mathews' words, I wonder "What the hell is he talking about?" This is another one of those times...

Chrissy is using codespeak.

He's exercising his right, as a Massachusetts Righteous Person, to bullyrag Southerners in particular and smear conservatives in general by "bracketing" [propagandist's term of art] them with known perverse entities like the Ku Klux Klan and the segregationists.

There is nothing about the Constitutionalists who are talking "nullification"/"secession"/"interposition" today, that makes them socially and politically identical with the segregationists of 80 years ago, but he's seizing on those terms, which were last widely used in the 1830's and 1860's, to yoke the Constitutionalists to the Confederacy, slavery, segregationism, and racism -- the holy exacta of liberal demagogy.

This has been a major meme of the reactionary liberal counterattack on conservatism since the 1994 congressional elections, when Bill Clinton and his MSM allies began to try to smear conservatives "for serious real". The use of the "Confederate flag [pseudo-] issue" and a host of Southern hate-puppet icons (beer-swilling good old boys driving drunk with shotguns in their trucks, that kind of thing) has always been an attempt by the Clintonistas and their allies to drive a wedge between Midwestern, "battleground State" conservatives and mostly-Southern social conservatives. It's about "busting the box" -- the Finkelstein box that describes the conservative strength of what liberals like to call "flyover country", a.k.a. "the sticks".

I just checked Wikipedia and Matthews was born in 1945. That means he was in college from perhaps 1963 on? MLK’s speech was in 1963 as well, right? And the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 (by mostly Republicans). So, maybe Chrissy actually saw segregation when he travelled as a Freshman to spring break, maybe not. I’m fifteen years younger than him and I can attest to the fact that I NEVER saw segregation and not a lot of racism either. Furthermore, as a previous poster pointed out all of the segregationists were DEMOCRATS!
