Minutes after Paul Ryan finished his RNC speech on Wednesday, MSNBC's Chris Matthews slammed the Republican vice presidential candidate for supposedly ignoring blacks during his "very constricted, very negative, very nasty speech," and suggested that he was directing the address to racists: "It's clear that Paul Ryan was talking to people who think about rights as something...produced by Thomas Jefferson, ignoring the people for whom the rights only came in the 1960s."
Matthews added that "for some reason, they never mentioned those things, because they're talking to people - let's be honest about this - who didn't feel – the benefit, at all, from those civil rights, and I think that's very important to point out."
I almost think the very definition of a ‘moderate’ is someone who agrees with the GOP philosophically, but has been cowed away from them because they’ve been told their social positions are beyond the pale—with racial issues the biggest concern of them all.
Ryan's speech was aimed towards RACISTS??
What Race? Green Skinned Space Aliens??
Chris Mathews must be racist to see it where it doesn’t exist. Projecting.
The Madcow is even worse than Missy Chrissy is.
“When Romney gets put over that 270 electoral vote mark I am going to break my rule and watch MSDNC just so I can watch Chrissy cry.”
I was thinking the same thing! In fact, a video capture is in order just to post it as it happens!
The key word in your post is “progressively”.
So the response to a logical speech based on common sense is - wait for it - “racism”.
Color me shocked.
Awesome speech by the way.
I thin 90% of tingle’s audience lives in Austin Tx. They have been using these same talking points this morning.
Racist = Winning an argument against a liberal.
It may be sad for you to see him “deteriorate right in front of you” while I am rather enjoying the unraveling.
Chrissie’s is going to need to be carried out in one of these before this election season is over.
Looking forward to his reaction when the R & R Team is inaugurated...
” Ryan had a bunch of good lines in that speech. CSPAN was replaying one this morning :”Young adults shouldn’t have to be stuck living with their parents and left staring up at fading Obama posters with no hope”
Good line.
