Matthews Confuses Cummings With Clyburn
What is it with MSNBC hosts and their inability to keep prominent African-Americans straight? As NewsBuster Kyle Drennen noted, last year Contessa Brewer confused Jesse Jackson with Al Sharpton.
Tonight it was Chris Matthews' turn. Introducing Dem congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the Hardball host called him "Congressman Clyburn," a reference to James Clyburn of South Carolina, currently engaged in a Dem leadership fight with Steny Hoyer. View video after the jump.
Watch an embarassed Matthews try to recover from his flub, but only manage to make things worse . . .
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Congressman Clyburn, your view—I mean Congressman Cummings. I'm sorry.
Cummings couldn't have been more gracious.
ELIJAH CUMMINGS: That's quite a compliment, by the way.
MATTHEWS: I know. It ought to be. He's running for whip.
Oddly, a bit later Matthews managed to insult Cummings again. Here's how he introduced a video clip of Clyburn.
MATTHEWS: We're going to have the real James Clyburn coming up in this shot. We don't have him on the show tonight. We got to settle for you, Mr. Cummings.
NOTE: Cummings wasn't Matthews' only mistaken identity of the evening. From the show intro: "“The fight for number two leader is between the party moderate Steny Hoyer and the party’s highest-ranking African-American James Clyburn.”
Steny Hoyer: "moderate"? Steny Hoyer. Lifetime American Conservative Union rating, 7%. 2009 rating from leftist Americans for Democratic Action: 100%. In fact, Hoyer's American Conservative Rating is slightly lower than even Clyburn's. Guess that makes Clyburn an "ultra-conservative" in Chris' book ;-)

Let's be honest. If there's a black person on a liberal show, for what point of view is that person invited?
To the Liberal media, black faces are interchangeable, and useful only as a prop to present a "street cred' take on the given subject

Maybe that's because you're wearing your troll-shaded glasses, and because of that everyone who isn't conservative must be the same person.
That you still think I'm all of the above tells me you have little common sense. I would literally need to be sitting at a table with several different laptops out in order to post at the rate you suggest in your lies.
Well then. Kindly list all of your previous accounts used here.

You have stated repeatedly you were banned for saying viscious personal stalkerish posts directed at women and their children.
If we could get a full accounting, that would sure help clear the air.
I never stated such a thing.

It looks like he thinks he is copying something someone said here. I have never demanded anything on NewsBusters let alone an apology. It will be a cold shivery day in hell before a troll will ever feel remorse so there is no point really.
You never know with guttermouth, don't know what is going through that tiny mind. I am not a woman with children he can harass and scare so I think he thinks he... who knows, he don't know what to do when faced with posts from males.

He avoided me like the plague in virtually every incarnation; technically, I harassed him. Pounded him mercilessly, as a matter of fact. But he totally deserved it at the time.
You know I luv ya, Vet. Implying Ted ever "scared" me in any form is, however, pretty insulting. I enjoyed every minute of tracking him down and hounding his various incarnations till he snapped.
"Fine. IT'S ME, GUTTERMOUTH, IN MY TRIUMPHANT RETURN!! Happy now?"
Priceless moment lost forever in cyberspace, dammit.
For the record, this helpless female with children is 5' 11", works out regularly, and can drive nails with a Glock .45 at 30 yards. If you plan on having my back just remember to stay out of my line of fire, dahling. ;)
It was not just you.

And I hope the troll's tactics are not paying off here. That would really make his day, setting one user against another.
PS: your buddies constant whining is not helping his case. He keeps calling me liar and making demands but it only puts more of a focus on what I am lying about, and what the truth is - truth that only he can tell shed light on. See my post below.

I can understand Contessa Brewer being confused......she is so dumb that her teleprompter has only one word on it....."Breathe!"
Matthews is another story....."Some of my best friends are" is his mantra.
Dare I say it? Deep down there is no one as racist as a liberal. Look what happened to the Governor of NY, Mr. Meek, etc. Only CERTAIN blacks are "Acceptable" to liberals. Unacceptable? Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Bill Cosby, Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, anyone who did not come up through the affirmative action network. These people are villified by the left. Stray off the "Plantation," and you are through. Remember what happened to Walter Williams.
