Chris Matthews Smells Racism in Declining Number of Whites Supporting Obama
By Noel Sheppard | August 28, 2011 | 18:32
It appears that unless every white person in this country votes for Barack Obama next November, Chris Matthews will believe it's because they're racist.
On this weekend's syndicated program bearing his name, the host smelled racism in the declining number of whites supporting the President (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS: First up, the very fact of President Barack Obama is a resounding affirmation these two generations later of Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream. It was 48 years ago today that Dr. King talked of an America that could truly be called a shining city on a hill. That dream seemed to be coming true three years ago today when the newly-nominated Barack Obama wove the promise of Dr. King into his appeal for the votes of all Americans.
(VIDEO CLIP OF BARACK OBAMA’S NOMINATION ACCEPTANCE SPEECH ON AUGUST 28, 2008)
MATTHEWS: Obama went on to win 43 percent of white votes in that fall’s election, and that may sound low but Democrats really never win a white majority. Bill Clinton got 43 percent of votes, of white votes back in ’96. Al Gore got just 42 percent, and John Kerry got only 41 percent of white votes in 2004. So Obama’s 43 percent of white votes in 2008 was on the high end.
Exactly. Obama got more white votes as a percentage than Gore and Kerry, and the same as the incumbent Clinton, but Matthews can't reach the logical conclusion that this means racism wasn't a factor in the 2008 elections; if it was, Obama should have received less white votes than recent white candidates.
Unfortunately, as the goal of liberal media members is always to paint conservatives as racists, Matthews opted to present typical left-wing talking points rather than the obvious:
MATTHEWS: But last November’s shellacking of Democrats in the midterm elections came with a dramatic retreat. White voters deserted Democrats running for Congress. Democrats actually got only 37 percent of white votes last November – 37 percent.
It’s all very worrying for the Obama reelection campaign because in the most recent NBC poll, he, the president, is down to just 36 percent of whites.
So, in 2008, Obama got more white votes as a percentage than white candidates Kerry and Gore in the two preceding presidential elections, but his current lack of white support is because of racism.
Nowhere in the next nine minutes - as he and his guests discussed how Republicans are going to use race in the upcoming campaign - was there any discussion about why Obama has lost support of white voters.
Could it have something to do with his performance the past 31-plus months? Seems like a logical question, doesn't it?
But that wasn't important to this discussion. Neither was a recent Gallup poll finding that black support for Obama has dropped from 95 percent to 81 percent.
Have fourteen percent of African-Americans suddenly started hating African-Americans, or is there something about Obama's policies that is turning them off too?
This also wasn't discussed. Instead, Matthews and his guests spent over half the program talking about white racism and how it's going to impact the 2012 elections.
For liberal media members like these, any white person that doesn't vote for Obama next November is a racist. Which means that white people need to prepare themselves for constant accusations of racism in the next fourteen-plus months.
With unemployment guaranteed to remain high, and the economy teetering on a double-dip recession, the President isn't going to be able to run on his record.
This means his minions in the media are going to be playing the race card at every turn - they've got nothing else in their hand.

......the 98% black vote for him, or the continuing approximate 90% support regardless of what he does or doesn't do. When is Chris going to have a panel discussion on that point?
There are people who never voted for anything in their entire lives, who voted for Obama, and who will never again vote again for the rest of their lives, after Obama is no longer on a ballot. When is Chris going to have a panel discussion on that point?
Basically Chris is one of those who uses race to get around having to substantively defend the Socialist president. He seems to think that white people would continue to love a white, Socialist, failing Obama........just as a huge portion of black people are doing as we speak with a black, Socialist, failing Obama.
36% of whites is pretty close to Gallup's current 38% overall approval.
88% of blacks is also pretty close to Gallup's current 38% overa.........uhhhhh, wait a minute.
Actually Gallup shows 32% approval among whites. Have at it Chris.

Unemployment is still above 9%. Our credit rating is in the toilet. GDP grew at 1% in the second quarter according to the latest revision. Real unemployment is double the stated rate factoring in the underemployed or those who gave up.
Tell me again why its racism if the POTUS responsible for this mess is losing all of his support? Spending a trillion dollars and having nothing to show for it? An oblivious first lady who is spending taxpayer money on gauche, extravagant holidays? An entire administration of whackademic czars and second-class wannabes who are governing like they are the Roman Senate under Julius Caesar?
On the clueless continuum, Chris dived off the end into complete dementia.

CTWMF has a perpetual semi-hardon for this idea. He's like a Weiner photo all the time, tingles up legs, all the weird metaphors.
I am really alarmed by the way the nutcases on the left are moaning in anticipation of an assassination attempt: GAROFALO, Randi Rhodes, Mike Murphy (?), Joey Rebar--the whole lot of them. It is beyond merely colorful language and hyperbole. They're planting seeds of dangerous ideas.

Believe me they DO notice that African-American support for Obama has declined from 95 to 81. In fact that is one of the main numbers they care about. That's why they're portraying opposition to Obama as racist. "Hey African-Americans you don't want those racist Republicans to win by being racists! You need to close ranks and get out to vote for Obama! Or else the white racists win and you're responsible for that!" Next (repetitive) commentary by Tingles will be about how the GOP hates women, immigrants, college students. Why? Because they're the Democrats constituencies and MSNBC and the Democratice Party needs to motivate them to come out to vote.
It's not just my theory it's Obama's:
Obama speaks with unusual demographic frankness about his coalition in his appeal to "young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again."

"Sehr angenehm! Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen."
Which means: ("Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water.

We all know that many whites voted for Obama not because he was liberal, but because he WAS black. And if people vote for Obama BECAUSE he's black, that's also RACIST, right?
That was all that counted for them. He was the first "clean, articulate black candidate" as some white dude once famously said.
And they were voting for him. It was his race that made them feel good about themselves.
In fact, there was MUCH TALK about the Bradley Effect. That is: it was assumed many whites were saying to pollsters they would vote for Obama because they DIDN'T WANT TO SOUND racist -- but that come election day, in the privacy of the booth, they would vote for McCain.
They didn't. And when you choose your president based primarily on his color, then that is RACIST, my friend,

That's what the polls are suggesting. So blacks are racist against Barry?

African American support waning for Obama. “A Gallup poll last week found Obama’s poll numbers in the African American community down from its once stratospheric 95 percent approval early in his term, to a still-high, but notably lower 81 percent — tying his worst ever showing from earlier this year. . . . Observers say weaker support for Obama owes to a faltering economy that at 16 percent unemployment for blacks — nearly double the national average of nine percent — has hit the African American community especially hard.”

Where in Matthews' statement does he say if whites don't vote for Obama it is because of racism? This whole post makes no sense. It is based on something he didn't say, but on what the author thinks what was on his mind. Weird!
you believe it was a transcript?
Submitted by commenta on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 10:56pm.
It was a report. He's given you a summary. He's shown that in-spite of the statistics, Matthews elaborated and said much else during the show that is of interest.
"This also wasn't discussed. Instead, Matthews and his guests spent over half the program talking about white racism and how it's going to impact the 2012 elections."
Go watch the show, for a line by line comparison, but all you get on here is the summary.
Some thoughts
Submitted by loxmyth on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 11:25am.
Why is it that people like Mr. Tingles never actually listen to Dr. King's words, but rather to what others say his words were? I have listened to the words. I have read them. It took me about 10 seconds search to find a text copy on the famous speech.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Does that really say that Dr. King wanted us to even see that our current White House resident is black when we decide to vote? But these progressive idiots, like Chrissy, will espouse Dr. King's dream, and in the same sentence tell us we need to be liking him just because he is black.
I have a theory. I think the liberal Damcrats really believe the nonsense they spew. When they look at He-Who-Can-Do-No-Wrong, all they see is his color, therefore they can not understand that anyone else might possibly be able to not care. All he has is that he is black, so if you don't like him that has to be the reason, there is nothing else.
A year ago I retired as a teacher in the Detroit Schools. This gives you an idea about some of the people I worked with. In May, 2009, four months into the Disaster-In-Chief's reign of terror, I caught one administrator ... 60 something African-American Social Studies Department Head ... sitting, shaking his head, mumbling "I can't believe i wasted my vote for that man!" What does that say to Chrissy when one of their own (staunch Damcrat) saw how bad it was gonna be, so soon after the election?
Hey Chrissy, follow the yellow brick road!

Well I've said it many times before, this guy needs a LOBOTOMY! For some reason, the good people at COMMIECAST, and G.E. seems to think this guy has a brain. In my humble opinion he needs to see the wizard, like Scarecrow did. But, as we'll see these charges of racism will only get more intense as the election gets closer, and Obiwan fails! What Tingle says in support of Obiwan will get more and more vile, but just wait til Racist Al, and Special Ed see this poll, then the shit will really hit the fan!
Hey, Chrissy.

MLK did talk about a "shining city on a hill."
He also said something about a man being "judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character."
Are we just supposed to skip that part of the speech in Bambi's case?
I am not a racist. I hate everyone (black, white, latte, tan, freckled, yellow, red, green or blue) who voted for Bambi. In your case, pink too!

If only I could live in the insulated, simplistic world of Chris Matthews....where everything can be explained by whatever Liberal poop that pops into my head. You just knew it had to be racist whites. Certainly nothing else could explain the abject failure of an ex-community organizer, freshman senator with absolutely no clue as to what America is or what it takes to get people to work. Black, white, red, yellow, blue or purple, this president is a disaster across the spectrum and to label white people as racists because your guy can't hack it is the laziest most partisan kind of thinking possible.

So the white people that had supported President Obama was because he was NOT black and now that they may not support President Obama is because they had recently found out that he is black? Oh the liberal logic is quite amusing.

accepted their handouts and gifts from mostly white taxpayers with such lust and ungratefullness that I would think that some of the more educated or successful blacks would begin to cringe, at the anger which is bred in the minds of their bretheren. This does not seem to be the case. Which points to a much larger problem of virulent ant-white racism in the hearts of black people. Now, much of the world is insisting that whites be brought down because we have managed to thrive and succeed in ways that apparently they can not even dream of. While never asking the right questions as to why they cannot do the same. Either they enjoy their handouts more than their freedom to succeed, or they are incompetent fools. Either way, I can't see how it is the problem or the fault of conservative whites. Accept your minimal handouts, or make a decision to change your lives for the better. Knee jerk reactionary answers simply do not impress me. I am trying very hard to be fair, which may well be the weakness of blacks....and liberals.

Well, the socialist left wing media (i.e. - "the media" or "the Ministry of Truth") warned us in April (via Tavis Smiley) that "the upcoming presidential race is "going to be the ugliest, the nastiest, the most divisive, and the most racist in the history of this republic." And so the bogus repoting from the radical left begins. Don't listen to their lies! You might receive a complete "Brain rinsing" if you listen to their contrived BS too much.
