Guess this is what my mom meant by the saying , pot calling the kettle black. Jezz and this freck wants to call me a bigot. This guy is way past his usefullness. HEY chrissy go back to work for the great tip oneil will ya.

I'm a bigot. I want someone in leadership who can lead. If that makes me a bigot I'll wear the tag.

I'm a bigot. I want someone in leadership who will tell me what they are going to do, do it and never tell me one thing and do another. If that makes me a bigot I'll wear the tag.

I'm a bigot. I read the Second Amendment and see an individual right to keep and bear arms. A politician who doesn't read the same words with the same meaning isn't going to get my vote. If that makes me a bigot I'll wear the tag.

Now that we've established what sort of bigot I am, where does that leave Chris Matthews?

If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.

Well, Chris, of course America is racist.  After all, Michael Steele lost in Maryland, right? Right?  Oh, that's a bad example, because he's a Republican and a conservative. After all, we all "know" that the ONLY reason a liberal democrat could possibly lose an election is because of their race or gender.

Matthews gets more disgusting by the day.

Is Chrissy on a first name basis with Hil? If I was laying a wager I'd say not. If he called her by her first name, she'd have him for breakfast. How does this man suddenly have a magic crystal ball to predict anyone's electability? I think it's more like a magic eight ball. He earns the big bucks for this claptrap? I think he pissed off another person on his continuing downward spiral of unimportance.

Hi, 1st time commentor...

Colin Powell and Condelessa Rice were Republican red. I guess that's why they have never counted in the media (with Powell - at least not as long as he was in the Bush cabinet)....

I was going to register and post about this topic on the Sec. of State Rice item from yesterday, but it fits here as well. - This comment is a little drawn out, but I think worth the effort reading...

I am student-teaching in 8th grade here in GA, after having been out of the country for just under a decade, and today the teacher showed the MLK "I have a Dream" speech. Then, she had a discussion with these 8th graders about some of the items King mentioned as part of the dream and whether we had achieved that dream so far or not.

Over the course of the long discussion, a few students said, "Pres. Bush is a racist."

Now, these are kids, so they didn't offer much in the way of concrete reasons for believing this, but over time, some of them mentioned New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina - but again without any specific details.

It dawned on me as I listened to this discussion to put their thoughts with the media blitz we've been witnessing over Pelosi and Obama the last few weeks.

Even before I read it on this site, I was writing on my blog how I could remember Gingrich and the Reps. getting a very different type of media barrage when they took over the House. The amount of soft coverage and cheerleading for both Pelosi and Obama has been staggering, and the hypocrisy on the Dem victory last year to the 1994 Rep victory should make the media ashamed.

But, they should also be ashamed if they could listen to these 8th graders of mine.

What I mean is ----- look at Colin Powell and Condelessa Rice - two black people, one a woman, placed in two of the most powerful positions in the whole world. Placed there by Bush. And how much media play has he gotten for it? I should say positive media play, because quoting Harry Belfonte calling them vile names is not the kind of press coverage I am seeing Pelosi or Obama getting...

If Pelosi becoming the first female Speaker of the House is big news, and Albright becoming the first female Sec. of State was worth applauding by the media, shouldn't the media be able to give a kudo or two to Bush and Rice? Enough kudos that it might stick in somebody's head in our society?

These 8th graders saying Bush is a racists for no reason they can think of are learning it at home - but where do the people at those homes learn such stuff?

From the media....

Colin Powell was (correctly) given a good bit of favorable coverage somewhere within the realm of Obama over the years (though far from the kind of canonization we are witnessing with him), but once in the Bush government, the media went immediately to a message that he was out of place and ostricized by the neocons --- they kept trying to peel him away from the Republicans and Bush until eventually he was gone. (Not totally different in effect than how the media kept with a strategy of constantly bombarding Newt Gingrich until they could hoist his head on a stick).

With Rice, they have simply ignored her for the most part - only focusing on policy issues and such. I can't remember any cheerleading about her being a strong, intelligent woman and a minority and having held two of the most powerful positions in the world.

I don't think it is a stretch to say, perhaps, Rice has even held a more influencial post than Pelosi so far (and possibly even as Speaker of the House given the amount of policy pull a Sec. of State has and how little big effect a Speaker has on such major international issues). But, who gets made into a queen and who gets the hardball questions????

Maybe that is what Santa Claus should give the media next Christmas - a sense of shame.

If Obama was a conservative, he could win the presidency.  He is well spoken and carries a sincere staure.  But being dedicated to things like preventing legislation of parental notification when a minor is seeking an abortion doesn't endear him to most Americans.    

Liberalism is a convenient lie.

Let's imagine this: Bill O'Reilly says Hillary's electability ratings are so low that an African-American has a better shot than she has.

Reaction from the MSM......anyone? anyone? Beuller?????

Did it ever cross Matthews' mind that maybe Hillary or Obama (once its clear what he actually stands for and how he's voted, something NewsBusters has done a good job of reporting) don't stand a chance in a Presidential election because they are Left leaning Dems whose ideas are repugnant at their core to Heartland America?  NO, it has to be bigotry.  Many Republicans (myself included) would love to see a Condi Rice ticket in 08.  I'll admit I'm not sure about some of the positions she might take on Domestic issues (just haven't heard her address these in any capacity), but in foreign relations I think she'd be spectacular (from the Natan Sharansky school, so to speak).  Would Matthews be labeled a bigot if he didn't support Condi in 08?  No, that would be just Matthews expressing "legitimate concern".  Double standards never end with how the Useful Idiots report.
