MSNBC's Matthews Injects Phony Race Talking Point Into
His Program AGAIN
MSNBC's talking points underpin the ADL's baseless
new report

In what is fast becoming a regular feature on MSNBC programming,
Hardball anchor Chris Matthews once again injected
the issue of race into a segment last night with no context
whatsoever.
Reporting on a large turnout at a Sarah Palin
book signing event in Michigan, Matthews' guests Norah O'Donnell
and Joan Walsh of Salon took umbrage that the crowd was overwhelmingly
"white".
"This is a largely white -- almost no minorities
in this crowd," O'Donnell, who was at the signing, dutifully
stated.
"Well, they look like a white crowd to me," Matthews
responded, adding, "I think there is a tribal aspect to
this thing, in other words, white vs. other people."
Walsh then added "I think you`ve got that same kind of
paranoid tea party, maybe even birther crowd that talks about
the Constitution, without really understanding what they are
talking about"
Watch the video:
We have regularly highlighted the fact that the
establishment media is continually using a phony race card as
a divisive technique in an attempt to alienate anyone who questions
government policy or President Obama.
MSNBC in particular has continually claimed that
any public display of discontent with the current president
is nothing more than racial hatred.
Matthews previously
injected the same talking point when discussing
criticism of Michelle Obama's use of 26 aides:
"It seems to be that when I hear people going
after the first lady and the number of staff people they have,
it sounds racist to me." Matthews stated on the edition
aired September 1.
Previous to this, Matthews stated during a segment
on the healthcare debate that opponents of Obamacare should
be injected
with Sodium Pentothal until they admit they are racists.
"Put 100 of these people in a room. Strap
them into gurneys. Inject them with sodium pentathol. How many
of them would say 'I don't like the idea of having a black president"?
What percentage?'" Matthews stated.
Matthews has also attempted
to smear the Oath Keepers group as rightwing extremists
connected with white supremacists. Without any evidence whatsoever,
Matthews accused the group's founder Stewart Rhodes of stockpiling
weapons to be used in a plot to attack the federal government.
This exact claim was made this week by the Anti-Defamation League
in a shocking report portraying the Oath Keepers, tea party
protesters and Alex Jones, among others, as violent extremists.
In another example of playing the phony race card,
back in August, MSNBC’s Carlos
Watson introduced a segment on his show by wondering
whether calling Obama a “socialist” was “becoming
a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new n-word
for some angry upset birthers and others.”
Watson then said there was a “line of responsibility”
that had to be drawn which extended to “the words we choose,
including how we use even legitimate words like socialist.”
MSNBC's coverage of the tea party protests this
summer was also overwhelmingly laden with race insinuations.
It was on
MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann
that Jeanane Garofalo called tea party protesters “a bunch
of tea bagging rednecks”, contending that the frustration
expressed over the direction of the country was code for racism.
It is no coincidence that such constant demonization
of the tea party protests by the establishment media has coincided
with violent
attacks on protesters.
On last night's Countdown, Olbermann
smirked and giggled his way through a celebration
of the fact that the word "teabagger" has entered
popular lexicon.
For the benefit of those still languishing within
the false left right paradigm I must point out Fox News has
also been employing such divisive talking points for years.
This injection of race into news segments with
no context whatsoever is exactly the kind of irresponsible media
display that allows groups such as the ADL
to stir up the notion that legitimate political
protest in America is nothing more than an explosion of intolerable
racist rage.
Injecting the idea of discrimination in an effort
to polarize a group of people is no different to actually engaging
in the act of discrimination.
