Chris Matthews Smears: 'Haters' 'Have a Party to Call All Their Own, the GOP'
MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews on Thursday continued to obsess over his favorite issue, the birthers. He excoriated the Republican Party, smearing that the "haters" now "have a party to call all their own, the GOP."
Painting with a broad brush, Matthews mocked, "How did the right-wing fringe manage to take over the Republican Party?" He later repeated the talking point, wondering, "Coming up, the party with the fringe on top? How did the right-wing fringe get control of a major political party?"
Of course, a 2006 Scripps Howard poll found that 50.8 percent of Democrats believed it was "somewhat" or "very" likely that George W. Bush knew in advance of the plot to murder 3000 Americans on 9/11. Such a number would seem to indicate that there are a significant number of "haters" in the Democratic Party.
[See video below. MP3 audio here.]
The host also mentioned just one Republican who, in the last day, has condemned birtherism: Mitt Romney. In fact, many, including House Speaker John Boehner and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus have done the same.
Matthews interviewed former Newsweek editor Jonathan Alter and linked the belief that Barack Obama wasn't born in America to the whole of the GOP. He speculated, "I'm going to get very ethnic here. Is this because of '64? I think it is. LBJ...Once Lyndon Johnson, a man of the south and the southwest, once they pass the civil rights bill, you can forget the white south in the Democratic Party."
The liberal anchor teased the segment by talking about Wednesday's release of Obama's birth certificate. He lectured, " Yesterday the doubters got cut off from the haters. Let's face it, the skeptics in the middle, politically, now got the old, original birth certificate and are satisfied. The haters on the other hand, are still out there and they have a party to call all their own, the GOP."
A transcript of the teases and part of Matthews' segment with Alter, which aired on April 28, can be found below:
5:01pm EDT
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Leading off tonight, you can't handle the truth. That's what we learned yesterday about some people when President Obama released his long form birth certificate. They don't want the facts. They want to deny the facts. The President went out and practically hand delivered just what they spent months saying they wanted. They wanted it. They got it. They kept on yelling. Now, they're scrambling. Questioning the birth certificate itself, asking for more documents, more paper. This can't be true. Staring wildly into the headlights of the 21 century. They just don't like the reality of who's in the White House, lets face it. Yesterday, the doubters got cut off from the haters. Let's face it, the skeptics in the middle, politically, now got the old, original birth certificate and are satisfied. The haters on the other hand, are still out there and they have a party to call all their own, the GOP. Plus, party with a fringe on top. How did the right-wing fringe manage to take over the Republican Party? Well, the Democrats hope to cook the Republicans in this birther stew. Can the GOP stop the weirdness on their part? Does it want to?
5:13
MATTHEWS: Coming up, the party with the fringe on top? How did the right-wing fringe get control of a major political party? Now, this is amazing. How did it happen? It wasn't like this when I was growing up. They were sort of a middle of the road to right party. How did they go- I think Civil Rights Act 1964. Just guessing. Is it too late for the mainstream Republicans to stop the zanies?
5:20
MATTHEWS: I'm going to get very ethnic here. Is this because of '64? I think it is. LBJ, we were talking about him in the break, once Lyndon Johnson, a man of the south and the southwest, once they pass the civil rights bill, you can forget the white south in the Democratic Party.
JONATHAN ALTER: He said for a generation but it's really going to be several generations. Look, there's always been a looney tunes element. Same on the Democratic side. You had the John Birch Society folks that were an irritant to the Republican Party of the '50s.
MATTHEWS: Okay. Who are the Democratic Party's loony tunes? Come on. Fess up.
ALTER: They have had plenty of 'em over the years. You know, those conventions that go to 3:00 in the morning.
MATTHEWS: Okay, the truthers, maybe, if you want to go all the way over.
ALTER: Nowadays they're a more moderate party. But, they've had their innings. My point is that you're right that a lot of this is about race. And this is something that has given the Republican Party a foothold in the south but a lot of this is fear of the other. There is a racial subtext here. Like when they talk about a guy who is obviously terrific on his feet, gives more spontaneous interviews than anybody else and talk about him as somebody that depends on the Teleprompter, why are they saying that? They're basically saying he is a black man and he's not that smart. He needs a tell prompter. And the birthers think-
MATTHEWS: Donald Trump is now questioning the application to Harvard.
ALTER: Of course.
MATTHEWS: Harvard law and Columbia and he didn't deserve to get in. He would never say that about a white person right off the street he wouldn't say it.
ALTER: This is race, Chris.
MATTHEWS: I don't know why you would say it!
ALTER: That's where the 1964 point is critical. The Republican party decided that it was going to- after being the party of Lincoln and Jackie Robinson in the '50s decided it was going to go for-
MATTHEWS: Jackie Robinson was for Nixon.

The remarks by Obama were at an event which began at 6:00 p.m. yesterday, well before the extensive destruction and loss of life due to the tornadoes sweeping through MS, ALA, TN, GA was known. The first fatalities weren't noted at the NOAA Storm Center website until nearly 8:00 p.m. Maybe there were earlier news reports, but the full, tragic dimensions of the catastrophe were unknown and unknowable at the time of Obama's comments.
Weasel Zippers calling him an "insensitive prick" is utterly disgraceful.

The tornados hit Tx, Ark, Okla La, Miss, then the next day, did the worst of the destruction as they moved faster and easterly. It was days of destruction just weeks after a previous wave of fatal tornados. Did you know that La had 60mph winds, softball sized hail, thousands without power for days, homes damaged? You didnt hear about the damage to La because fortunately for us, no one died this time.
It was a bit of vitriol in zips post. But I could not find Obama's comments anywhere else on the internet.
The point is that this is another example of a disinterested, detached president. Did you know that he has still not signed off on FEMA request for assistance to Texas to fight the wildfires? That wave of destruction has been going on for weeks. He has so many more important things to do, like golfing, and fund raisers, oh and Oprah.
This president has shown numerous occasions of his disinterest and disconnect from ordinary Americans. This link may not have been the best choice but it is simply another example of this man's interest is only himself.
"A bit of vitriol"?

weasels posted a photo of horrific destruction with a graphic headline referencing the "250 DEAD" preceded by Obama proclaiming it "A FUN DAY", after which they called him an "insensitive prick".
Yes, it was "a bit of vitriol". It was also a despicable distortion of the timeline to purposely make it appear Obama knew about the extensive fatalities and catastrophic destruction. [NOBODY did at the time.] It was a transparent lie peddled to support a smear, and I'm surprised that instead of denouncing this inexcusable misrepresentation by W Z, you brush it off as just a bit of vitriol.

If objecting to the publication of a malignant lie is construed as a defense, then guilty as charged. But my "guilt" is not predicated on the politics of the target, but the nature of the conduct directed at the target.

“V for Vendetta”: Natalie Portman, Guy Fawkes Mask-wearing “V” Are Terrorist Heroes
March 8, 2006, - 6:23 am
“V” for Propaganda
By Debbie Schlussel
If you liked the politics of last weekend’s Oscar nominees, you’ll love “V for Vendetta.”
It’s an exciting, quality Bin Laden film.
But if you’re like the rest of mainstream America–you support our troops, believe in firmly responding to terrorists on our own shores, and/or respect Christianity–then, don’t waste your time at this piece of garbage masquerading as a superhero movie. It is anything but.
If most other Hollywood films subtly whisper of an agenda, “V” clocks you over the head with it with a still sizzling, iron frying pan of extreme leftism. It doesn’t arrive in theaters until March 17, but already the mainstream (ie. liberal) movie critics and entertainment media are raving about this egregious attack on our war on terror.
Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, “V” comes complete with all the bogeymen the far left loves to hate: NSA spying and wiretaps; government renditions and torture complete with Abu Ghraib hood fashions; lecherous, elderly Christian clerics in collars raping young girls; Islam, gay rights, and free speech under attack; and even a Bill O’Reilly-esque evil cable talk show host/wicked pharmaceutical billionaire/heinous military officer combo rolled into one character.
Oh, and by the way, the hero of the movie: He’s a terrorist in a Guy Fawkes mask, who blows up important government buildings. Sound familiar? His mask might as well be a kefiyeh wrapped around his head in a Nick Berg video.
The movie takes place in futuristic England, and there is only one American star (Natalie Portman, who plays the terrorist’s protege). But it’s quite clear to whom the “commentary” is directed: Joe and Jane American. When this movie takes place, “the United States of America” doesn’t exist anymore. America is in the midst of a civil war.
And America and the war on Iraq are the enemies–along with Christians and the right–in this movie. We are treated to newscasts about how “America’s War [on terror] spread to England.” One character–a gay, British Jay Leno type who hosts a latenight show–keeps a secret vault of prohibited items, including a giant poster of “the Coalition of the Willing,” depicting the American and British flags surrounding a swastika. Think about our troops fighting and dying in Iraq, before you decide to give your dollars to this film. Do you really think they are Nazis?
Also in the secret vault of sacred prohibited items: a Koran. Portman, whose Evie is the “heroine” of “V,” asks, why the Koran? “Are you a Muslim?” she asks the late-night host. “No, but its [the Koran's] images are beautiful.” Then he comments about how he can be executed for possessing the Koran. (Not a peep in this film about the thousands who’ve been executed in the name of the Koran and “its beautiful images.”)
Puh-leeze. If anything, both Britain and the U.S. have bent over backwards not only for the Koran, but for its extremist Muslim followers. Where Christian displays are absolutely forbidden in any schools, despite so-called “freedom of speech”; where Ten Commandments are removed from the Alabama Supreme Court, despite their being the basis for our legal system; children are required to learn about Islam, read from the Koran, and behave as Muslims in elementary schools, in the name of “tolerance” and “education.”
In “V”, while Islam and the Koran are treasured but prohibited, Christianity is pure evil. Nice juxtaposition, when in real life, the 19 hijackers, the ’93 WTC, U.S. Embassy, U.S.S. Cole, and British subway bombers were hardly Christians. Hmmm . . . what religion were they? We don’t recall Mohammed Taheri-Azar, saying on Friday in his post attempted-murder 911 call, that he tried to use his jeep to kill Americans in the name of Jesus. No, he mentioned someone else’s name, another religion . . . which are both nowhere blasphemed in “V.”
We’ve already mentioned the high-ranking Christian priest, who regularly rapes young girls procured for him through an “agency.” Before the priesthood, he was an evil military officer at a hospital where politically dissident youth had experiments conducted on them for the government (complete with Abu Ghraib-style hoods).
Then, there’s the government. It’s run by a religious Christian zealot. But not just any Christian zealot.
No. Chancellor Sutler is the supreme evil Christian. In order to get elected, he and the Bill O’Reilly-esque character (remember, before he became a cable host, he was a pharmaceutical CEO and made billions) arranged for hundreds of Brits to die from chemically poisoned water. The government said that terrorists did it, a story which became accepted fact and the conventional wisdom in media coverage. The fear that ensued garnered Sutler the chance to rule England, along with the martial law powers the English parliament gave him.
It’s no coincidence that the symbol used for his government is some sort of Cross-cum-Swastika combo. Not offended yet?
Under religious Christian zealot Sutler, gays are rounded up, imprisoned, tortured, and executed. Ditto for any dissidents, any left-wing activists, anyone who dares speak out against or flout the Chancellor’s actions. Tell that to the ACLU, which seems to be running legal policy in our country, these days, and its partner in crime, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the wealthiest “public interest” group in the U.S., to the tune of hundreds of millions. We don’t see any prospect of them being rounded up by the government anytime soon, unfortunately.
Under the religious Christian Chancellor, “unjust” Gitmo-style military tribunals and absurd NSA-style wiretapping is going on at every corner. Throughout the movie, we are shown vans of law enforcement personnel listening in to every home. As if that’s what NSA wiretapping was about. It isn’t, but “V” drills it into you the way the ACLU wants you to see it: every conversation in every kitchen, etc., secretly being listened in on and laughed at by guys in sweaty, rumpled shirts and ties.
The evil government law enforcement chief, Creedy, runs a meticulously ubiquitous surveillance program nationwide. If only our FBI’s Robert Mueller were so competent, we’d be safe. Instead, he’s cavorting with extremist Muslims and testified in depositions to ignorance of the most basic newspaper facts about Al-Qaeda.
Overall, the most outrageous thing about “V” is the ending. Instead of vanquishing terror, all of Britain sides with the terrorist hero of this movie. They celebrate his murder of all the top officials in government, his blowing up of the Houses of Parliament and other government buildings.
Terrorists and terrorism are the heroes, the government fighting them and trying to keep us safe are the enemy.
This is the glorious revolution? Osama Bin Laden must be very proud.

and you will find that if you do so after removing your head from your arse, rather than while it is lodged deeply within, that the charges liberals make against conservatives about hate and racism are bogus. Sham. False. Made up. Untrue. Incorrect.
Lies.
If they were true, Obama would never have been able to come close to the Oval Office.
But to admit that, even if you could, would be a slam against your ideology.
Now if you want to talk about disgust, dislike, and disdain for your Messiah now that he has shown how truly incompetent, lazy, and worthless he is, well, you would be on to something.
Bring your praises and list of accomplishments for the poseur Obama to the table, and we will discuss them.
Once we knock aside the phony, unearned and unmerited praise you want to throw out there, listing and then talking about any accomplishments in his ledger that have been beneficial for the country, should take a relatively tiny amount of your time.

Dude, he had NO experience and also genius..................................... still fighting old battles?
Hannity brought up Wright ONLY because Obambi went to ANOTHER race baiting preacher on Easter, but you wouldn't know the whole story because the Daily Loss didn't fill you in did they?
YOU missed the story of the latest hate filled preacher in the news cycle, me too, but then again the whores are so busy on this bleepin' Royal wedding.
Not that it would matter, Obambi could be on tape calling white people "typical" and it would be excused away.
My bad, it already happened.

It's MSNBC and CBS that are obsessed with the birther issue. And why not? It gives them a chance to demonize anyone who speaks up against Obama and detracts from the real story that these networks DON'T want to talk about: Obama's dismal economic record, his broken campaign promises, his sucking-up to dictators,, his close relationship to unions, his squandering of the TARP funds, his Obamacare exemptions to his friends, high unemployment, falling dollar, his failure to have a coherent foreign policy, his refusal to let us drill in our own back yard while allowing other countries to do so, his appointment of Marxists as "czars" and appointment to federal agencies. His insane fiscal spending policies, his acquisition of GM which is fascism, his getting involved in another war, his QE2 which is causing inflation as well an increase in food prices....it goes on...

Submitted by Chris Norman on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 11:09pm.
Chris Matthews has relinquished any reputation he may have once had for having a show that was a no holds barred discussion of politics. Now, it's like watching a closed circuit television view of a padded cell, with him ranting, raving, and making a complete ass of himself. He's a geek in freak show, where one watches him in either pity or disgust. Does anyone take him seriously? Can anyone take him seriously? Can anyone as unhinged as he have any influence on anyone looking for solid political information? Is he covered here because of his negligible influence or because of his appeal as a side show attraction? - "Folks! Click on this and see The Amazing Slobbering Lunatic, Chris Matthews! He walks! He Talks! He crawls on his belly like a reptile!".

These folks have extreme hatred toward anyone that disagrees with them. When they call us "haters", they are projecting.

Obama is the epitome of "empty suit". Simply proves that all the the right schools, the Hawaiian prep-school, and the "Harvard" education cannot produce an even "average" leader.
Since the liberals love to talk about race, let me just add that if Obama was a white Republican, he would be treated exactly like Dan Quayle was treated. Obama did nothing in his two years as "senator" and he has done nothing as "President". Obama is like one of those phony degrees you send off for in the mail.

On the recent documentary on Ronald Reagan, aired during the week of Reagan's 100th birthday, he said that Reagan and Bush, (Bush 1 that is) weren't responsible for the downfall of the Soviet Union, and just as much credit should go to Tip O'Neal, and Bill ( "I never had sexual relations with that woman") Clinton!

When will Obama crack in public?
At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car."
The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington. And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.
Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States. The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential – which is why it's so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order "to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don't have to sacrifice the America we believe in."
The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they've never had two nickels to rub together – and now, having hit the mother lode, they're going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers' expense.
Why do modern liberals think and act as they do? Find out in Dr. Lyle Rossiter's book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."
Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010 column, I asked, "Is Obama unraveling?" I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him.
At that time, I wrote that not having things go one's way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don't behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address.
It appeared, at that time, as if he were "fraying around the emotional edges." That behavior has not abated – it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya, America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions.
But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of "The Tudors" television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan's budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama's actions.
Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, "I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I'm embarrassed that I endorsed him. It's so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?" ("Democrats' Disgust with Obama," The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011)
Steve McCann wrote: Obama's speech "was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed" ("The Mendacity of Barack Obama," AmericanThinker.com, April 15, 2011).
McCann continued: "[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him. …"
With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition – how much longer before he cracks completely?
The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious?

Phenomenal post and thank you for recommending the Rossiter book. I've been looking for a title like this for quite awhile. I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but have a healthy amateur interest in what drives people psychologically. Obama is a minefield that will be written about in the professional journals for years to come. It will be interesting to note the psychology of all Democrats after the next election, especially if either woman(Palin or Bachmann)wins. This is almost getting scary.......

Chris Matthews is Jimmy Carter's brain (speechwriter and adviser ), and Democrat Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill's key adviser. He is a trained political propagandist, defined by his job duties.
Anyone thinking Matthews is not still a Democrat Party operative, working issues for the DNC is naive, the only thing is he writes his talking points he uses, and then sends them out to be reported, rather than visa versa.
Lately Matthews is pushing the race card harder than Shapton ever did..notice how he forget that he himself a few months ago thought it would be just nifty if Obama would release his Birth Certificate also.
