Chris Matthews: Romney Using Obama ‘Revenge’ Line Is Racist
The Blaze ^ | Nov. 4, 2012 | Mytheos Holt

Posted on 11/04/2012 6:45:47 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Chris Matthews opened up yet another attack on the Romney campaign for being racist tonight when he aired a clip of Romney’s new line rebuking President Obama for urging his supporters to vote based on revenge. “President Obama asked his supporters to vote for revenge,” Romney intoned. “For revenge? Instead, I ask the American people to vote for love of country.”

Matthews was furious. “Where did that line come from? What’s the antecedent to that? Where’d it come from?” he asked.

After an explanation by Alex Wagner, Matthews responded that the slam was probably racially motivated.

Notice that no thought was given to the idea [fact] that the “Revenge” line in and of itself was RACIST.

Chris Matthew has become Chrissy-one-note. The sun rises. Americans are racist. The sun sets. Americans are racist. It rains. Americans are racist. This is a sure sign of a mind poisoned by ideological and incapable of independent thought.

I learned from the Chris Hayes show that the O campaign is running radio ads on black talk radio stations blaming criticism of Obama racist and repeating the ‘vote to get revenge’ line to the black listeners.

The above is a comment by sickoflibs... seems black radio is using the comment. I wonder if Matthews will comment on that? My guess, "no"...

I found it here. It was Sunday's Harris Perry show yesterday and the guest was Joe Madison. She plays the radio ad and displays the text on screen.

I played that video. I don't think it mentioned "revenge" but it contained what some left wing nutcase imagined that Romney said: "Can you imagine how dumb this President is?"

Lou Dobbs used to have Joe Madison on his show when he was on CNN. He sounded more "moderate" on those shows than he does on MSNBC.

That quote was from John Sununu who called O dumb after the first debate, when asked about it in a CNN interview.

MSNBC played it up at the time.

Hey Chrissy- nobody told him to go off prompter and make a nasty, unpresidential comment at the end of the campaign. Now you all have to suck it up. payback for all those BS commercials against Romney.

The transcript wasn't posted at MSNBC yet and lexisnexis appeared to pull all their MSNBC transcript. I had a heck of a time finding that post of the video earlier. And then found it was Perry not Hayes. But here is the exact text. It`s called "black men vote".

NARRATOR: They think he`s dumb, lazy and the best food stamp president ever. It`s disrespect. It`s not right.
And if they think these things about President Obama, “Can you imagine how dumb this president is?” What do they think about you?
Black men — it`s time to stand up for ourselves. Vote for President Obama today. Black men — this entire election might come down to Ohio. Women are already voting in high numbers. We need do our part.
Vote for President Obama today. If you don`t vote, Mitt Romney may win and we will have to hear more comments like this.

Like I said, that comment actually came from John Sununu.

Thanks for the tip.

The intention of that video seems to be to convince blacks that Romney said it.

The intent of the video IS to convince black men that Romney thinks they are stupid because he said that Obama is stupid.

I saw MSNBC playing the Sununu clip multiple times. It sounded fun at the time but he was responding to questions about the first debate which was short sighted.

“MSNBC Host Shocked to Hear Romney Surrogate Call Obama ‘Lazy’ and ‘Detached’,”

Almost verbatim what the University of Chicago professors said about Obama. They also inferred that he was dumb : )
