MSNBC's Chris Matthews defends attack on Priebus, says Republican attacks 'dividing country along racial lines.' - POLITICO.com
8/27/12 8:46 PM EDT
TAMPA -- In an emotional interview with POLITICO tonight, MSNBC host Chris Matthews defended his spirited attack against RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, in which he alleged that the Republican party was guilty of playing the race card against President Barack Obama.
"It is obvious that this is something I care passionately about: race was abused by white politicians in my lifetime, including Reagan. For someone to come on the program and deny that this is part of their process, I couldn't take that," Matthews said. "This is something I really, deeply believe in. We grew up in a country where appeals to race have been awful, terrible. This language -- we are beyond this. It had to be called out."
Asked about his tone, Matthews said, "There come times when the passion should be reflective in the tone."
"There are a couple issues like peace and war, and race relations -- this is, deeply, not something we should be revisiting in the 21st century," he said. "It isn't even covert any more, its overt. Race is the San Andreas Fault in this country, and this is dividing this country along racial lines."
Only racism in america is affirmative action and Obozo and tweety both support it. They want govt mandated persecution of white people. Conservatives don't want the govt persecuting blacks. We want the whole racial preference game to end.

Well yea. Republicans are 90% white. This is their last election with the current demographics. If they win through voter suppression, their only option", it will be the death of the party. They aren't even trying to get anyone but the white vote.
Who cares what Chris Matthews says?

It's not a matter of caring.
It's more a matter of: If you don't have the comedy channel, Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow are a good substitute.

If you can't list 3 examples of how the republican party is reaching out to non-white Americans, then you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.
