[...] Senate majority led by Stuart Smalley and a guy known to refer to Hillary Clinton as “the Al Sharpton of white people.” [...]

Gee, I dunno, Chris. Has she ever ginned up a rape story out of whole cloth?

Not exactly, but she did gin up a record of accomplishments and experience out of whole cloth (as well as sniper fire).

Maybe those two should be talking….

Suffice it to say, Sharpton and Clinton are both offended.

Chris Matthews = Typical liberal loudmouthed hypocrite.

Matthews was all over supporting Hillary early on in this selection process, but now that she is losing he is throwing her under the bus.

Does Matthews understand what an idiot he makes of himself?

Matthews himself seems more similar to Sharpton.

Crissy is a such a tool. Blithering Idiot comes to mind every time I see him, whether or not he’s got a ‘feeling’ crawling up his leg.

Wow, listen to Chris spin it! I really wonder how the Clintons must feel to have that media bias turned firmly against them?!

Chrissy is getting more unhinged every week. Is he in competition with Olbermann for something?

I can’t figure something out. Whenever I see his ratings they are in the tank. I mean really bad. Don’t you media types think it’s about time to flush him.

How do we get away from that, Chris? I get away from it by never watching you or your pathetic mini-network. Works for me.

Gee, I thought it was a pretty good analogy. Mocking African-American bigot who panders the race card while describing Hillary as the same – Female-Caucasian bigot who panders the race card.

So nice to have it spelled out for us by the democrats. They have the liberty to do that you know…….Republicans don’t.

I agree it’s actually a pretty funny line, though that’s mainly due to the irony of Bill and Hillary being branded as white race-baiters after years of using the support of the African-American community whenever either one of them got into political trouble.

Matthews lays out the second part, but my guess is he doesn’t see his or the rest of the big media’s culpability in letting them get away with playing the race card against Republicans on and off for 15 years, before going nuts for the past four months when the Clintons tried to turn the card over and play it on the other side.

This person has to be the dumbest person on television. (Maybe its a tie between that fat black lady on The View) How the hell does he still have a job?

I think if BHO made a quick turn, he would break Chrissy’s nose.

I have got to say, I was stunned when I heard this clip.
It is not often I get up out of my chair to find my wife and rant about an injustice (after all, they are so increasingly common). And I must also say that I do, and have for many years (that is to say, according the appropriate social constructs and with the necessary mitigating caveats) HATE Hillary Clinton. I have no problem accusing her of lying, graft, abuse of power and even murder!
Yet to condemn Hillary Clinton’s words, no matter how premeditated or nuanced, to extraordinary racism, when the phraseology she is using is exactly what DC pundits have been saying all year, and to equate her words to the rhetoric of a white Al Sharpton, who would actually be David Duke, is egregious.
I never thought I would ever defend a Clinton, but the abasing of US political discourse has brought me to it.
