Chris Matthews "I forgot he was black for an hour tonight"

I was watching that. It was a strange choice of words all the way to his tortured Godfather reference at the end.

Matthews has altogether lost any prayer he had of being a legit commentator again.

I was watching him when he said that. I had to laugh, it's becoming something to count on with Chris Matthews.

The sad thing is that Matthews is one of the smart guys that's been there before. I never agreed with most of his political views, but MSNBC has absolutely ruined him with their overzealous attempt to become the TV equivalent of Air America.

It's killing liberalism's public face GAVol. I liked it better when we just had one political news network.

Some of the things they say (Maddow especially) just have me palming my face.

It sounds like he got that tickle or thrill of a good vibration back up his leg again.

I didn't see the State of the Union, but what was Matthews expecting? Was he expecting Obama to spit 16 bars or do the Arsenio Hall "hoot" after every punchline?

:crazy: :blink:

You do know liberalism is another word commonly referred to as Socialism. The goal of both is the equal distribution of wealth, more government control of business, and of peoples daily lives. You can see it in the policies being pushed by the most liberal in both parties. Liberals will deny that they are socialists, but they share the same goals in politics: more control and more power over the people.

Watch Matthews' face when he says that. It's like he's in some drug induced stupor. He is showing the effects of drinking too muh of the kool aid. It is sad to see one of the more intelligent and reasonable liberals just turn into a fanatical and obsessive tool of Obama.

I notice BO giving a different handshake to black colleagues after his speech. Anyone else notice that?

Think about what the statement implies - BO has finally been elevated to "whitey" status. He spoke so well and with such command that it's almost as if he's white.

How this isn't a racial slam is beyond me.

Me either. Implying there is a "Black" status and a "White" status - and this is right after saying we are "post-racial".

Chris, is this because of his dress? His appearance? His words? Delivery?

1)What about lst night made him "White"?
2)What did he do previously to make him "Black"?

You're confusing Socialism as a black-and-white issue (which it's not). There are degrees of socialism and there is virtually no one in American politics who is against all of them. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Public Education, Public Television, FDA regulation, welfare, and so much more are all socialist institutions. As it stands I would consider myself a socialist unless it gets to the point where it's interfering with people's prosperity. Unlike some, I believe there is an acceptable degree of socialism that is actually beneficial, but like all good things you can have too much of it.

Hence, I support government health care with private insurance supplemental plans (like the Scandinavian model). Countries who use this blend of private and public services consistently rank in the top of health care quality world-wide. I also support public education, FDA, social security, and welfare. But I do not support collectivization of agriculture, for example. There are some industries that just run better when the government controls them, and some that run better when private industry does. Look at national defense, for example. And the postal service gets you mail pretty cheap.

The postal service is 8 billion in the hole!
Name on thing on the planet that is run effeciently by the gov't on any level.
