Chris Matthews: Every single “teabagger” in America is white
posted at 7:37 pm on January 5, 2010 by Allahpundit
Yeah, I know, nothing new for Tingles. But Brooks is taking a beating in the other tea-party thread so I thought I’d give him a break by reminding you that accusing tea partiers of having issues with the “educated class” is actually pretty mild compared to the usual insinuations.
Also, in fairness, employees of MSNBC are probably contractually obligated to call them “teabaggers.”
I’m giving you two clips, actually. The second is short, but an essential — and timely — gloss on the first.
Update: Remember, MSNBC’s been known to edit video in order to obscure unhelpful facts that contradict its racial narratives, so maybe Matthews is innocent here. Maybe his problem is simply that he’s getting his info from … MSNBC.

Every single MSNBC host in America is white.
ThePrez on January 5, 2010 at 7:39 PM
I’m sorry, Chrissie… I can’t hear you over the brightness of MSNBC’s entire panel.
Enoxo on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
Good ‘ole Chris “I tingle for you” Matthews knows a “teabagger” when it’s slapping him in the face! ROFLMAO!
Roy Rogers on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
Therefore, they are all ‘Tea Baggers’.
Holger on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
I’m not white you douchebag!!!
portlandon on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
Fun fact: Chris Matthews was a guest host for the Rush Limbaugh show in 1999. I guess Tingles was an “Independent” back then.
alohapundit on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
So my friend who is in California, is of mexican decent and has kids in the military who owns a small business.. is white?
my best friend, who has a strong heritage and went to spelman college (hint there), is a conservative indie and voted for Palin… is a white teabagger?
Won’t they be surprised!
This is like Puff Daddy saying there are no black people in Alaska.
upinak on January 5, 2010 at 7:40 PM
How many White “Black Caucus” or “Hispanic Caucus” members are there?
DwnSouthJukin on January 5, 2010 at 7:41 PM
Chris Matthews needs an intervention STAT.
DrStock on January 5, 2010 at 7:41 PM
That may be, but coming from Brooks it’s at least ostensibly “friendly fire.” That’s what makes it intolerable. If he wants to come out as a liberal, then fine, the condescension is par for the course. But coming from someone who self-identifies as conservative, no, I’m not taking that.
Laura on January 5, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Yes you ARE!
Cause if you are WHITE… I am freaking blue!
upinak on January 5, 2010 at 7:42 PM
I have a proof by example that disproves his assertion. And the guy is even more to the right (read that “libertarian”) than I am. He even could care less if private parties refuse to do business with him due to skin color — he’s got enough money to take it elsewhere.
unclesmrgol on January 5, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Crissie “kneepads for 0bama” Matthews prefers dark meat. Who knew?
OmahaConservative on January 5, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Being at HotAir, Michelle Malkin comes to mind. She’ll be a little surprised (and probably upset) to find out that she’s “white.”
RBMN on January 5, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Dittos the white hosts on PMSNBC
tarpon on January 5, 2010 at 7:43 PM
Matthews is a dumb, worthless political parasite with absolutely no idea what is going on in the conscious world. Take a hike Chris, neither one of your viewers will miss you.
rplat on January 5, 2010 at 7:43 PM
…..And Tingley leg KNOWS teabagging!
So, we didn’t vote for a guy BECAUSE of his skin color…we voted for a guy based on the content of his character and WE’RE being called racist?
Tell me more, Tingley Teabagger of MSNBC!
HornetSting on January 5, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Going Na’vi on us, eh?
unclesmrgol on January 5, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Every single lib is a moron. All of them, every single one.

Wow the stupid is strong with him. I wonder what it is like living in your own world like that? Insanity for sure.
Voidseeker on January 5, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Too many drugs in his youth, obviously. West Point is the enemy camp, Sarah Palin is the Devil, Teabaggers are racists……
The man’s mind went long ago. Still, Zell Miller had the right idea.
highhopes on January 5, 2010 at 7:45 PM
Damn, yours was better, Roy. Damn. Good shot!
HornetSting on January 5, 2010 at 7:45 PM
I’m only considered white because my Cherokee ancestors lied to the guy from the Census back in the day. STFU Tingles!
Sekhmet on January 5, 2010 at 7:45 PM
Idiot Chrissy.
I’m a LATINA. NOT WHITE. BROWN.

lovingmyUSA on January 5, 2010 at 7:47 PM
And every single MSNBC host in America has been certified to be 100% Sanity-Free, meaning they are a bunch of basketweaving loons that would be more at home at the local funny farm than spewing their gas on national TV.
pilamaye on January 5, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Lefty Racism on Full Bore Display! PRICELESS!
Roy Rogers on January 5, 2010 at 7:48 PM
Every democrat is a racist.
CurtZHP on January 5, 2010 at 7:48 PM
OOPS.
MAYBE CHRISSY IS RIGHT.
LIKE REAL TEABAGGER ANDERSON KOOKPER, EVERY WHITE MEMBER OF LEGACY MEDIA LIKE CHRISSY ARE TEABAGGING FOR OBAMA.
CHRISSY = OBAMA SUCKER!
TheAlamos on January 5, 2010 at 7:49 PM
So, if by “white”, he means all colors of the rainbow blended together into one group, well, he’d be right.
As any Art 101 student could tell you, white actually IS all colors blended together. Black is the absence of color.
If Chrissy wanted to be metaphorically accurate, he would have said that all those “teabaggers” are “black”.
Just sayin’…….
AW1 Tim on January 5, 2010 at 7:49 PM
Dang that Chris Matthews humor is timeless.
Roy, you and other conservatives are welcome to drop in over at Conservative Talk. And please bring that special kind of humor with you.

I guess he would know, based upon definition of phrase in the Urban Dicktionary.
Shivas Irons on January 5, 2010 at 7:50 PM
Founding Fathers were all white! Matthews better leave this racist country.
PrezHussein on January 5, 2010 at 7:50 PM
LOl. I’m a teabagger in the gay way. Also not white.
Apologetic California on January 5, 2010 at 7:50 PM
i wonder what chrissy had to say about the million man march…
homesickamerican on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
It’s okay to be a racist AND be a Democrat. Just ask Democrat Sen. Robert “The Grand Wizard” Byrd.
Roy Rogers on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
Lloyd Marcus has been to Tea Party events coast to coast. He is a black-unhyphenated American (his words). He posts at americanthinker.com
ted c on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
All I have to say is… “I’m blackity black, cause I’m black y’all”!
Did’nt vote for Obama. Support the TeaParty, love W, Rumsfeld, Cheney (all of them), Palin, Rush, etc.
In case I wasn’t clear –
Agrippa2k on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
I’ve never understood some peoples’ obsession with race. Anytime I hear that component, whether pro or con, injected into an argument or even point; I generally shut down.
It is beyond trite.
anuts on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
That was the first thing that came to my mind too, RBMN. She sure as hell doesn’t look white to me when she’s doing a spot on Fox, nor in any of her pics.
Chris Matthews makes Miss South Carolina look and sound like a genius.
Intrepid on January 5, 2010 at 7:51 PM
LIKE REAL TEABAGGER ANDERSON KOOKPER, EVERY WHITE MEMBER OF LEGACY MEDIA SUCH AS CHRISSY IS AN OBAMA-TEABAGGER. BOTH MALE OR FEMALE.
Oops. Sorry.

What I noticed is, just when the term, “teabagging,” was taking off, it was the MSNBC anchors that always got the joke before anyone else…. Hmmmmmm.
RBMN on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
AND doesn’t watch his show.
happy2behere on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
Ill-informed, but very educated! David Brooks approves!
SouthernGent on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
I stopped listening to Chrissy a long time ago. It is just too hard to hear him over his vajayjay.
milwife88 on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
Yeah, I’ve been away far too long.
Roy Rogers on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
I agree. It seems like a few of true believers are reaching full out cult robot status.
Itchee Dryback on January 5, 2010 at 7:52 PM
every single guy in chrissy’s mirror is white…. ‘cept the guy in the “hope” poster he flexes up against….
ted c on January 5, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Yeah but no one takes this jerk seriously. If Matthews called tea partiers the next Al Qaeda, I wouldn’t care and I doubt many others would. The difference is that too many people think Brooks has something to contribute, which is why his remarks are worse.
Erich66 on January 5, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Chris Matthews: {{{{{whisper}}}}} “I see white people.”
David2.0 on January 5, 2010 at 7:53 PM
What is the name of the black lady who gave that awesome speech in DC at a rally back a number of months ago?
So yeah, Chris – she’s not white.
Intrepid on January 5, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Not true, but if it was, so what?

Agrippa2k on January 5, 2010 at 7:54 PM
One of Andrew Sullivan’s readers started off his letter posted on 05 Jan 2010 01:55 pm as such:
Don’t jump to conclusions there, I am sure Andrew Sullivan visits “teabagger country” far more than you give him credit for.
We just have to call him on it. Matthews too. http://tiny.cc/S764Q Safe Link.

ThePrez on January 5, 2010 at 7:54 PM
Speaking of Teabagging Prissy …. Do you still have that recurring dream about your Knut in shining armor Obama Bin Laden ??
F***king goof!
cableguy615 on January 5, 2010 at 7:54 PM
This reminds me of a comercial I saw of Chris Rock’s new special last night on Comedy Central. He says “All my black friends have many white friends, but all my white friends have one black friend”. It’s like “no sh*t, Sherlock”. It’s called percentages. There are far, FAR more whites in this country then blacks so blacks are more likely to have many white friends then vice versa. Of course, this is the same guy who many years ago said the U.S. woudl never, ever, ever elect a black man for President.
Anyways, the reason why I bring that up is because of course you’ll see far more whites then blacks at these things. It all has to do with percantage. Plus, let’s not forget the 95% of blacks that voted for Obama.
DethMetalCookieMonst on January 5, 2010 at 7:54 PM
Only a racist would notice.
Only a racist would care.
All human brains are essentially whitish in color.
How does Tingles process that?
Being fish belly white himself.
profitsbeard on January 5, 2010 at 7:55 PM
Chris Matthews, what do you mean by “teabaggers” are you into that? Do you think only white people do that?
Mr. Joe on January 5, 2010 at 7:55 PM
Sounds like Matthews might have a problem with white people.
I seem to recall seeing some blacks at the Tax Day Tea Party in Lansing MI. They must have been spies.
Goldenavatar on January 5, 2010 at 7:55 PM
I think what Chris needs is a….

Chris Matthews is just a liberal slag.
jaime on January 5, 2010 at 7:57 PM
Is there a point to this non-stop bashing of middle America?
Thunderstorm129 on January 5, 2010 at 7:57 PM
Let us just say every protester was white…. does that negate the fact that their concerns are not friggin justified?
CWforFreedom on January 5, 2010 at 7:58 PM
Like that guy packing the firearm at the rally – you know, the one you shot from hip level only.
John the Libertarian on January 5, 2010 at 7:58 PM
How many non-whites are in Matthews’ immediate family?
artist on January 5, 2010 at 7:58 PM
You know Matthews constant race bating is most probably a strong sign that he himself has issues with racism. Like most progressive liberals he has a tendency to project on to others his own personal views of things. For example if wants to insult a group of people he strongly disagrees with he will accuse them of being something that he sees in himself and hates. Ergo when he accuses the right of being racist he is really engaging in a bit of self loathing and trying to bury his own latent racism with a thin veneer of self righteous indignation.
Hellrider on January 5, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Not true. And, supposedly 90-something percent of black people voted for Obama. Care to make a point about that Chris Matthews?
CP on January 5, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Get thee to therapy, Chrissy Tingle.
anXdem on January 5, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Keep it up Chrissy boy. It only hurts Obama.
He is mistaken to think that “white guilt” is more important than “green tilt”. I take a Goldberg looking redneck over the New York lillywhites any day. When a redneck calls me “brother” he says it out of Christian spirit. When I hear a liberal call me “brotha”, I want to slap ‘em.
Cause I’m black y’all.

I was unaware that Michelle Malkin and Zo were white? I guess Chris Matthews blinding hatred for tea partiers makes him think they all look the same?
theguardianii on January 5, 2010 at 8:01 PM
DethMetal,
I have more than one friend “of color.” Does Chris Rock want me to give one of my friends to someone else to balance out the system? I need to know. How does Hispanics and Asians fit this profile? Do we need to have a system if you get more than one in any category you are to pass them along? Dumbest thing I have heard today. Ooops, maybe not.
di butler on January 5, 2010 at 8:02 PM
This guy is such a moron…I can’t believe he has his own show.
I’m a Hispanic woman who has attended tea parties and LOVES Sarah Palin! I guess this doesn’t fit his narrative, does it?
MLM411 on January 5, 2010 at 8:02 PM
well here is something to remember …. most of you have heard about the gentlemen who showed up at a rally in AZ outside the venue Obama was speaking at, he was the one carrying the AR _ 15.And I’m sure that many of you have heard references to it since then. Well MSNBC did back flips to alter the Photo so as not to show that gentleman was BLACK and that was a Tea Party event and he was there protesting the curbing of 2′d amendment rights
Aggie95 on January 5, 2010 at 8:02 PM
I wonder what Matthews’ staff looks like
blatantblue on January 5, 2010 at 8:03 PM
So much for fact checking!
But I bet you’ll never hear him make a comment on the racial makeup of welfare recipients…
Dark-Star on January 5, 2010 at 8:03 PM
Hey Agrippa – aren’t you Asian?
;-)
Intrepid on January 5, 2010 at 8:03 PM
Hey Tingles. I’m Hispanic…Barry is half black…and you’re a racist, Saul Alinsky adoring (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af2NeLFhYY8) socialist. Ya bag-o-douche.
selias on January 5, 2010 at 8:03 PM
Deep down inside the guy has to be a stone-cold racist. That’s the only possible explanation that makes any sense.
TheBigOldDog on January 5, 2010 at 8:04 PM
OK, help me out here: Is Chris Matthews getting softer in the head as the months go by, or is he just getting more and more desperate for ratings and attention?

That would be big news to the black speakers at our local tea parties and anti-Obamacare march this past year. What an a$$hole.
Monica on January 5, 2010 at 8:06 PM
The tea partiers are not so much white, as they are nerds wonks, and dorks. That’s just not where you find a lot of minorities. Not because they’re not welcome there, but because they’re probably much too cool to get involved with such dorks. Hurts their reputation.
