They really just can’t help themselves. I understand there’s a medicine for this

(Newsbusters) Chris Matthews was on Hardball tonight covering the Republican National Convention with guests Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and John Heilemann of New York Magazine.  In what is seemingly the natural progression of things these days with Matthews, the subject of the ‘otherization’ of the President was being discussed.  Because, if you weren’t aware already, Barack Obama is black, and any time a Republican chooses to discuss the failure that is his administration, the media will be there to quickly remind you that they only feel that way because of his skin color.

But tonight’s episode of race-baiting with Chris Matthews was a bit odd in that the panelists somehow came to the conclusion that reminding people of the President’s roots in Chicago politics is racist.  In fact, simply saying Chicago is racist.  (Video below). (snip)

Matthews: “They keep saying Chicago by the way, have you noticed?  They keep saying Chicago.  That’s another thing that sends that message – this guy’s helping the poor people in the bad neighborhoods, screwing us in the ‘burbs.”

Hielemann: “There’s a lot of black people in Chicago.”

So, there you go, any mention of “Chicago” means you’re a raaaaacist. Perhaps it would be easier if Chris Matthews and the rest of the unhinged left could tell us exactly what words and phrases we are allowed to say.

Right Newz has more on the video.

And then you have National Journal’s Ron Fournier on how Mitt is supposedly playing the race card, which has so much pure liberal insanity that I can’t decide where to begin, so read the whole thing, but, understand that in Liberal World

Working-class whites, in other words, are already more prosperous and secure than working-class minorities, but they’re less optimistic because they don’t believe they’re climbing anymore. They’re simply trying to hold on to what they’ve got, and see others grabbing at it.

When you think about it, do you really give a shit about minorities rising up? Does it dismay you? Well, it does if you are a rich white liberal, and want to make sure that Blacks and minorities are beholden to the Democrat party. Meanwhile, on our side, when you see a Black person moving up, you don’t think anything about that person’s race, you just think “good for you! Succeed! That’s the American way.”
