Chris Matthews Slams Mike Huckabee’s Obama-Kenya Comment: ‘It’s Racist!’

video
» 136 comments

Chris Matthews appeared on The Tonight Show last night with Jay Leno and predictably revealed his admiration/adulation for President Barack Obama, particularly for the White House response to the disaster unfolding in Japan. He also brazenly shared his opinions on many other news items of the day, but was most vocal in his critique of Governor Mike Huckabee‘s recent comment that Obama grew up in Kenya learning about the Mau-Mau Revolution. Matthews did not demur in his critique, simply saying “it’s racist!”

Matthews made clear that he expects next year’s presidential election to be a close one, but added that the American public won’t remove Obama from office unless the economy is in the tank. Regarding the GOP slate, Matthews exasperated “this is the weakest list of candidates that I’ve ever seen,” continuing, “Mitt Romney is the reason that the list gets longer…everybody looks at him and says ‘by God, I can beat him!’” He also mocked Michele Bachmann’s recent gaffe regarding the location of the “shot heard ’round the word” saying of the Minnesota Congresswoman “you gotta at least know High School history to run for President.”

But it was his critique of the birther movement vis-à-vis Huckabee’s comments that drew Matthew’s greatest ire, explaining what he feels to be the absurdity of that argument and flatly calling it racist. Watch the clip below courtesy of NBC:

    My God, I am so sick of that argument.

    Completely unable to respond with a rational argument the left pulls the old racist rabbit out of their hat and flings it at anyone who has disagreed with them about anything like monkeys flinging poop. (I know…that’s twice I’ve used that analogy but its so….PERFECT when it comes to the left and the way they use personal attack instead of debate).

    Get a new act, can’t ya?

  • BatBoy

    When you have nothing else, pull that Racist Card.

    In the past that ALWAYS worked.

    Today….it just does not work.

    Too many of the left are getting caught on tape being the real RACISTS.

    Maybe, just maybe Tingles will be featured on the next O’Keefe tape. Wouldn’t that be fun to watch????

    They are just too predictable.

    It is generally why lefties shy away from the military.

    They would make a battle plan such as.

    1. Form a committee.
    2. Create a Battle Plan

    4. Modify battle plan to fit enemy’s requests

    Rules for a far-lefty tool:
    1). Ignore decade long wars when your idiots in the office
    2). Ignore the fact that the February 2011 monthly deficit was larger than the whole fiscal year for 2007.
    3). Ignore the fact that the President seems to be more interested in playing golf.
    4). When in doubt just throw around charges of racism.

    On a side note, at least this post by Colby Hall is about an event that took place within the last 6-months as opposed to the article Colby posted first thing in the AM.

    To hell with all of this racist garbage!!!

    The most important thing to say about this appearance by Chris Matthews…….is that….he is wearing the exact same shirt and tie he wore a year ago when he appeared with Chelsea Handler on the same show.

    And so I ask…..OK…maybe I didn’t ask….but still…..

    “Until this moment, Mr. Matthews. I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness
    Have you no sense of decency, Sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”.

  • skyfet

    No Chris, he (the Huck) is just playing to the lowest dominions in the GOP. He picked a group that the everyday Republicans/racists/fundamentalist Christian hate and he used the group as a bait to win election, reminds me of the southern strategy. In the last election it was Romney and the Mormons, in this election if he runs (which I think is unlikely, his Fox gig is too good.), it’s going to be the Birthers.

  • Layercake

    whats so sad is letterman has Mathews on TV AND 99% of the country has no idea who he is…

  • newzmaker

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. What is racist is Matthews’ past statement, that’s it’s ‘his job’ to make sure Obama is a success. White liberals are of the belief that people of color, especially blacks, cannot possibly be successful, without proper guidance from whitey. This is white condescension at its worst. Matthews just doesn’t get it, and others like him, that their condescending attitudes towards people of color, are bigotry in the first degree.

  • billyweeds

    Bravo, Chris! It takes real guts to call a racist a racist, especially when cretins like the ones who have been posting here are determined to put a benign face on racists like Huckabee. Thank God for a straight-talking commentator like Matthews.

    I think Xenophobia is a more accurate term for what Huckabee tried to appeal to. Don’t reject him because he’s black because that would be wrong. Reject him because he’s not really one of us real Americans, and hey Mau Mau

    That approach is going to be more and more obvious bullshit with each passing year.

  • Who is Salacious Crumb

    Its all fine and dandy to make bombastic statements on cable, but Matthews making that kind of an accusation on broadcast television seems like a “Kanye” moment to me. I know he’s tying to get more people to watch his show, but I think he went a little to far.

    I also don’t think its “racist” to say the President grew up in Kenya and supported the Mau-Mau revolution. That just doesn’t make sense. If someone says I grew up Taiwan and supported Chinese unification is that person racist for saying that?

    This morning Colby Hall posted the interview with Jey Leno and Chris Mathews, as well as with some old female comedian named “Chelsea Haddler.” However, the actual interview was from May 2010. It was a significant error on the part of Mediaite. But to cover up Colby’s mistake, that changed the time stamp to May 2010 yet you can see the comments are from this morning. A few of us noticed this error very quickly and commented. However, Mediaite deleted all comments that pointed the error out on that article.

    I just went back and noticed it. For a site that reports on other media mistakes/ errors they sure have an issue with attention to detail. But everyone makes mistakes, yet in this case it appears that they don’t like us talking about it.

    Huckabee’s comments weren’t about reasoning. Lot’s pf REAL AMERICANS have different views and different ideas about problem solving and having that discussion is what we ought to be about. Unreasoning emotional appeals to paint Obama as somehow foreign and “not like us real typical Americans” is an appeal to ignorance and emotion. That’s what the Huckster did.

    If there were actual racism, as opposed to Tingle’s just throwing crap against the wall to see if it sticks, (which these days, it doesn’t, that race card is so warn out I can spot it in the deck before it’s even played) I would be upset. Your reference to Huckabee’s “racism” as though it’s some sort of accepted truism tells me that you’re not only a marionette, but a stupid one at that.

    That said, I’m still wondering why the other Matthews story was pulled. Did msnbc object? Did another of Mediaite’s puppetmasters object?

    The far left are control freaks. They want to control everything you do by whatever means it takes. The race card is old just like Chrissy and flies over the heads of anyone anymore. Need to come up with something new. We know you hate being a cracker so Chrissy maybe you need to get a great tan, die your hair so you can be a half black and fit in with Obama, friends and his family. Just admit it, be happy and honest then maybe someone will care about what you have to say.

    Huckabee retracted his remark in the sense that it could be implied that he was suggesting that the president had not been born in the U.S.

    It’s a given that Matthews knows this and is ignoring it, but he’s also suggesting that it’s “racist” (rather than inaccurate) to suggest that the president is a bit of a red-diaper baby, as well as saying that Huckabee referencing a stereotype of non-white, non-Europeans, as being anti-western.

    According to the lunatic-left, YOU are a RACIST if:

    1. You have read the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights
    2. You get information from ANYPLACE BUT the lamestream socialist fake-news media
    3. You object to having the lunatic-left confiscate your income to pay the mortgage of your deadbeat neighbor
    4. You want to work for a living, instead of getting endless unemployment benefits and other BIG GOVERNMENT welfare.
    5. You want to vote WITHOUT being intimidated by Black Panther goons and thugs.
    6. You don’t want to be forced to join a lunatic-left d-crat socialist-supporting union and pay dues that are then passed on to the campaigns of d-crat socialists.
    7. You don’t want the BIG GOVERNMENT NANNY STATE telling you what to wear, what to eat, what to think, what to drive, what to carry groceries in, what box to check in elections, what to drink, what to do every moment of every day….
    8. You don’t want China to OWN you thanks to the out-of-control reckless China-funded spending of the lunatic-left d-crat socialists.
    9. You are a Christian or support any religion other than radical islam.
    10. You are able to speak English instead of ONLY spanish.

    Yes, all libs are exempt from charges of racism.

    Matthews likes to portray himself as a tough guy from Philly, but the fact is, his family moved out of North Philly as soon as Black families started moving in. So he knows a thing or two about being a racist.

    Hot off the press….
    For NBC, the fourth-place broadcast TV network, it is unclear what changes may be in the offing. Entertainment division co-president Ben Silverman already exited earlier this year, and the former head of cable, Jeff Gaspin, was put in charge of moving the network out of its doldrums.

    The one way to move it out of its doldrums is to fire
    Andrea Mitchel, Cynk ?, Big Fat Ed, Rachel, Larry O’Donnell, Tingles and Morning Joe and his crew of lefties….

    Sit back and what what happens…..it has already started with KO.

    Apparently, Matthews doesn’t understand what the word “mis-spoke” means. But then, Matthews believes that Obimbo was actually qualified for the presidency. Has Matthews ever been right about anything that mattered?

    52% of the voting population of the US believed OBAMA was more qualified than McCain to be President. Get over it.
    You can mis-speak a word, or a phrase.
    You can’t mis-speak a train of thought.
    You aren’t mis-speaking when you say you are quoting your own book and your book doesn’t say what you claim.
    Matthews may be a pompous blowhard, I think he is. But the world of cable runs on pompous blowhards.
    Any one of them can occasionally be right. In this case, Matthews is.

    Hey, remember all the libs here last week citing the Rasmussen poll when they liked it. Well let us see how they like it today? LOL

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 20% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22. That is the president’s lowest rating since September

    Republicans currently enjoy a nine-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

    Overall, 43% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-seven percent (57%) disapprove.

    Economy, Gas, Partisanship and War Gang Up on Confidence in Government
    Confidence in the U.S. System of Government Drops to a 35-Year Low

    Confidence in the U.S. system of government has dropped to a new low in more than 35 years, with public attitudes burdened by continued economic discontent, soaring gasoline prices, record opposition to the war in Afghanistan — and a letdown in hopes for political progress after a bout of bipartisanship last fall.

  • MrTPar_taY

    So, “THE LEFT” cries racism when to cover for example Obama’s golf weekend when Japan is going down.

    I get it now! Racism is a cover for Obama. THE LEFT is so brilliant. Wonder who thought that one up?

    I guess when Gaddafi returns to full power it’s because of racism. Right?

    I’m no fan of Matthews, however,
    Had the Huckster been talking semi intelligently about policies, Matthews would have no reason to even consider racism. Huck’s babbling about Kenya and the Mau Mau revolution was just nonsense.

    50 right wingers were asked what “2 + 2″ equaled and they answered “4″ and were correct.

    50 left wingers were asked what “2 + 2″ equaled and they answered “Racist!!” and were politically correct.

    When did BHO tell the country we were going into a financial meltdown during the Bush administration era?-did anybody hear when ‘Bam warned us about that?

    Joseph Glackin:

    So, when Obimbo says, “we shouldn’t demand they speak English, we should be learning Spanish”, in your opinion, Obimbo wasn’t mis-speaking, he was actually stating what he truly believes?! Just how reprehensible was that statement, Mr.Glackin?!! Doesn’t the fact that Obimbo vastly outspent McCain in the campaign, and had the press as his front-man, yet managed only to beat McCain by a narrow margin compute with you? And NO, Matthews (Obimbo-butt-kisser) is NOT correct. Didn’t Huckabee immediately correct his statement. And when the statement was corrected, didn’t it make perfect sense? Obimbo “the inept”, has been in power over two years now, when, in your opinion does he actually take responsibility for the Nations problems? Does being a Liberal mean you have to except the nonsense-pablum without question? Instead of Obimbo’s ass siting in meeting rooms, he’s on the golf course, or watching the Motown Review in concert at the White-house. Maybe he could bee-bop his way down to, somewhere near the Congress, and try to work out a budget this country can live with….what’a ya think?!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Joseph-Glackin/100000892011713 Joseph Glackin

    Huckabooboo did NOT “correct his response”. He an out some pablum (your word) about quoting page 183 of his book. There is nothing on that page about what he said.
    I’ve watched Ronnie cut brush in Santa Barbara while Marines were being blown up in Beirut.
    I’ve watched George HW race around Kennebunkport harbor while troops were invading Panama to arrest Noriega, WHO WORKED FOR THE CIA when Ronnie was trading guns for cocaine with the Contras.
    I’ve watched George W spend a full year of his eight cutting brush in Crawford while we had two wars of choice running.
    I’ve watched W eat birthday cake in Arizona while New Orleans drowned.
    SO—Your point is?
    I get it! How DARE Obama think he’s as good as a Republican!

  • mibwilso

    You wingnuts can dismiss it all you want, but Chris Matthews is right.

    You (and Huckabee) can attack Obama’s policies all day long….and you have the right to do that.

    But when you constantly preface any comments you make about him by referencing his heritage/background…sorry, it’s just racist.

    Where he’s supposedly from, who his father is, etc…is not a basis for criticizing his policies. It’s just a bald-faced appeal to the prejudices of some parts of this country.

    I agree we DO need to drop the political correctness…..the political correctness that says we can’t identify racism when we see it.

  • mibwilso

    I think I finally share a frustration with the Right.

    I too am frustrated with the political correctness going around these days.

    Folks on the right get frustrated that they can’t call out radical Islam when they see it.

    ….and I think it’s equally ridiculous that there’s this attitude now that we can’t call out racist comments when we hear them.

    P.S.–As for the Spanish/English question, that’s a sensitive topic if you’re Irish. My ancestors could be hung for speaking their native language. At least seven states were founded by non-English speaking people. I think business should be done in a common language. Beyond that, all languages should be accepted. Living in NYC, I learned to do business in Spanish, Italian, Yiddish and Chinese (Cantonese). You might try it. If nothing else, it’ll expand your range of profanity.

    The right question is WHEN DID BUSH TELL YOU ?????……Heres ya answer…..He told you AFTER he robbed the treasury for 84 billion and gave it to AIG without even informing the congress, your boy Bush raped and robbed this economy, used accounting tricks to keep all his debt off the books until he was safely back home at the ranch….started two wars (unfunded) a prescription drug bill (unfunded) thats gonna insure that this country stays in debt forever……now wingnuts like you want to preach financial responsibility???? give me a freaking break…what you should be doing since you seem to want to be on the right side, is marching your happy ass down to texas with a set of handcuffs and bringing Bush back…put him in a cell next to bernie madoff….try and convict his ass, lock him up then swallow the damn key

    I never hear Huckabee pay any attention to the color of the President’s skin. In contrast, I hear Matthews (and other hosts on MSNBC) constantly obsessing about Obama’s skin color. I think that tells you who is deciding matters on the ground of race.

    But this is expected of the Democrats. For most of the party’s history, it supported giving whites preferences over blacks. And then fifty years ago it switched to supporting preferences for blacks over whites. In short, the Democrats have NEVER been color-blind, and have always judged people on the basis of their skin color.

    Hey Chrissy……….you still don’t get it. Talk about DUMB, DUMBER, DUMBEST…it describes you perfectly. Yes you OLD Dunderhead, you are the weak link in the poor ratings of PMSnbc in that good for nothing so called prime time lineup. Have you ever run for any kind of office besides class clown back in Junior High? Is there at least one adult that works at PMSnbc? If you feel like being on the school playground with your juvenile tactics, then why don’t you go after Obammer or that joke of a VP, Joe Biden for all their gaffs!!! Maybe help the Prez out on the number of states we have in our good ol’ US of A for starters. There are plenty if you want to try and be fair like the FOX guys and gals you enjoy attacking daily.

    I DO have a problem with Obama’s ‘whiteness’ and his limp-wristed ‘European-ness.’ I’ll kick his Ass on that until I can’t kick him any more.

    The tired old race card…Mentioning Kenya is not equivalent to racism, my friend. And trying to turn Mike Huckabee, one of the gentlest politicians I have witnessed in modern times, into a racist is a pointless, futile endeavor on your part. These charges won’t stick, and the Left just looks desperate playing the race card again and again and again….
