Chris Matthews Calls Republican Voters 'Lemmings'
A day after calling South Carolina GOP voters racist, MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday referred to the Republican electorate as "lemmings" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS: I wonder how the lemmings in the Republican electorate, they’re not all lemmings, but the ones who are will say, “Wait a minute. I’m supposed to vote for the guy whose turn it is, who has won the first two, but wait a minute, he didn’t win the first two? How am I supposed to vote for him? Do I still vote for the guy who won the first one and the third? And if I don’t vote for him in the the third one’ – as you point out, Mark – ‘he will have lost two or three.’ They get very confused in terms of this automatic, robotic kind of voting here of voting for the guy simply because he got voted for.
So Republican voters aren't only racists, they're also lemmings. The attack now is not just against the candidates but also the people considering voting for them.
Matthews probably feels this is acceptable because he qualified his statement with "they're not all lemmings."
Hope that makes you feel better.

Matthews should know better the Lemming. ACA

If anyone would know a Lemming, it would be Matthews. But once again when given the chance to show off his knowledge; he goofs it up.
I don't know how you watch this guy. But then again you are a better man than I Gunga Din.
So, I read an article the other day that explained the Left tilt of MSNBC is a management decision. Go figure.

Bet little Chrissy don't even know the meaning of racist or lemmings. Someone must have been talking about the democRats and he liked those words so much he just had to steal them. He must think they mean smart otherwise why would democRats be described that way?

Luckily no more than a few hundred non-media people watch that loser's show. I see he hasn't lost that tingle up his leg from Obozo.
He might want to look up "lemming" before using the word.

He is a lemming. A big, fat, hairy rodent--that's Chris!
I can remember back to when we were HATEFUL
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 8:47pm.
for not getting behind one candidate yet. We loved to hate, so much that we can't pick a candidate, is what CM's rationale was (if that word at all applies to Matthews). Now, we're lockstep. Lockstep haters. That sounds almost like goosestepping...good thing we're not in Israel.
So does that make Democrat voters

unwatchable for Conservatives like me who enjoy watching talk shows on Fox News.
Since most Liberals prefer to watch sitcoms or reality shows to talk shows, that sort of explains why his ratings are in the dumper.
Projection!
