Uh, oh. The ‘c’ word. And I always thought it stood for……something else.

A huge percentage of MSNBC viewers/Democrats are truthers . Are they truther/crackers ? Is Van Jones a Free Mumia /truther/cracker ? Tom Brokaw is from South Dakota . He stays at fancy hotels . Is he a Ritz/cracker ?

We get it, Chris. You are a self-hating white guy and a liberal douche. Please shut your mouth, you are letting people know how stupid you are. It is actually easier to believe that Obama wasn’t born here than 9/11 was an inside job, but Chris doesn’t attack truthers. There is way more info on 9/11 than there is about where Obama was born, who he was friends with in school or anything about his childhood.

How dare these guys on MSNBC lecture us about civility.
- I hear Schultz critisize the right for not listening Obama’s plea to be kind in one segment then he bashes Palin in the next segment.
- Then I hear “Tingles” discuss MLK’s “content of character” reference just minutes after his “crackers” comment
- Then there’s Countdown which is an hour full of hate whether it’s KO or Bathtub Boy’s replacemrnt

CHRIS SHOULD REALLY STOP ATTACKING HIMSELF:
Chris Matthews and liberal panelists: Where’s the birth certificate?
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/12/27/chris-matthews-and-liberal-panelists-wheres-the-birth-certificate/

Looks like Comcast has sent word to the idiots over at PMSnbc that every one of the morons who has a show on this comedy network better get their ratings up or they will be sent to idiot hell for the rest of their non-career when Comcast officially takes over. For Chrissy to get any goofier it would have to be because he knows that as the 2nd lowest rated talking head on PMSnbc he has to get his ass in gear and get really goofy. Time will tell if Chrissy gets to keep the thrill going up his leg.

“It never ceases to amaze me that the lummox at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word, and still manage to be outraged when someone uses one of the handful of epithets that are popularly directed at white people”

So…..Jeff Poor is a lummox with a third grade vocabulary?
OK…in what corner bar does he hang?…..and how did he get a job at Daily Caller?….and why is T.C. reading his stuff?
T.C. is a fantastic investigative journalist and I am confidant that he will provide these answers in due time.
T.C. rocks!
Nothing is too insignificant. Nothing escapes his withering gaze.
Did I mention that he rocks!?

Does MSNBC really not know why their ratings are in the tank!
That has got to be the dumbest management team in history
to stay with that format delivered by those losers.
Incredible!

Tommy,

The videos from your politics daily piece are not working. By “Fox News,” do you mean Bob Beckel or is there more to it than that? Poor’s archive at the caller don’t go back very far, and his bio says he covered business at MRC before covering media for the caller so I fail to see the point in him not covering the the use of the word two years ago.

Also, I read the piece at the caller and it struck me as a cute pithy little editorial much like the content I read here. Not quite the outrage I expected to read.

Dude, he just called Hillary Clinton a cracker!!

Tommy, your need to defend and explain him speaks volumes. I guarantee if it had been Rush you wouldn’t have done that.

For example:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-oreilly-has-a-laugh-imagining-tom-brokaw-being-shot-in-arizona-bar/

As someone who lives in what Michael Barone referred to as “Jacksonian”country, I am proud of my Scotch-Irish heritage. I am deeply offended by Mr. Matthews characterization. I demand that MSNBC remove him immediately.
If Bill O’Reilly had referred to Muslim-Americans as “towel-heads” or such, would any less occur?

I’m a minority.

I can tell you, there is NOTHING more annoying than hearing white people try to show us how “down with the cause” they are by dissing themselves. “Hur hur hur, i’m just a stupid white cracker, hur hur hur!”. God thats annoying.

Yes, cracker is no where near as offensive as the N word. Its not even close. But dont throw it around in an attempt to make black people like you.

Where is Chuck Barris when you need him? Matthews is surely ready for the gong. If Soupy Sales (God bless him) were still with us, he’d get a pie in the face for this one. MSNBC, you can’t do any better than this?

It never ceases to amaze me that the lummox at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word, and still manage to be outraged when someone uses one of the handful of epithets that are popularly directed at white people. As insults go, “cracker,” “honkie,” or “whitey” sound more like characters from The Muppet Show than anything else.

Sorry Tommy, but this is one of the most idiotic statements I’ve read in a long time. There is NEVER an “apt” time to use racial slurs aimed at ANY race. It seems you and the “lummox” have more in common than you think.

Matthews would like everyone to believe that the Republicans and the Tea Party people are “birthers”.
Poor Chris needs to enter a clinic and get tested with the Arizona shooter. He is just NUTS.

Ritz Crackers are the rich ones, right?

Well Powerslave, you have to remember that Tommy was the guy bending over backwards to defend the Black Panthers too. His outrage can be quite selective.

PS, I should say that personally, I’m not offended by these things. I think we’ve become WAY too politically correct in our society. My only point is, if you are going to criticize one group of people, you’d darn well better criticize the other and that doesn’t happen in today’s media. I guess that’s why the American people see them as worthless hacks nowadays.

As I recall, Beckel made the cracker comment, but the other Fox News personalities didn’t object. You’re right, a lot of old Youtube clips have since been pulled. I’ll see if I can dig up another copy.

The problem with Poor’s piece is the overreach. Matthews wasn’t calling all critics of the President “crackers.” Just the birthers.

Come on, you guys use those provocative headlines too. Even still, the Matthews quote itself is ripe for subjective analysis:

“So much of this attack on Obama has been ad hominem – directed at the person of the president, whether it’s somebody – some cracker out there on the right calling him — some birther-type who says he’s not an American or someone more sophisticated but basically saying he’s a socialist.”

OK Michele put up or shut up. You run your mouth all the time saying not much of anything but calling people out.

Tommy Christopher said:

Tommy Tommy I think lying is a strong word here. You must understand that Michele lives in this fantacy land of her own making. She just needs to get out more.

Cracker is a slang term for white racist. and it that not exactly what the birthers are? I mean who else but an out and out racist would ever continue to question Obamas place of birth and deny all reality in so doing?

“Finally, though, this clip illustrates one more benefit of white privilege: even our racial epithets are easier.”

Actually, no. I doubt Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell would get a way with calling Chris Matthews a “cracker”.

The ability to hurl racial epithets unscathed is a liberal privilege, rather than a racial one.

I don’t understand the assumption that this paranoia is based solely on race, and that under the same circumstances, a Pres. Clinton or Pres. John Kerry would have escaped this sort of conspiracy theory.

“hris Matthews “Calls Obama Critics ‘Crackers‘,” and cites this as a deviation from the “new civility.”’

I doubt there’s a person in the country who isn’t aware that the “new civility” is merely a partisan political cudgel significant only as it relates to conservatives.

Tommy Christopher said:

From the article: “and while “cracker” is, indeed, an uncivil term, it is arguably an apt one for the “birthers”

It seems you did.

I could care less about somebody using the term “cracker”. I’m a white honkey cracker, who cares? I care about the selective outrage and the hypocrisy from the lefty elitists like Tommy. Here, Mathews uses what would be described as an “offensive” term but in the minds of the left, it’s okay because: a) it’s about a non-minority; b)it’s from a liberal; c)it’s about people who don’t like Obama.

It’s telling that rather than focusing on the issue, Tommy uses his words to excuse the use of the term & whine some more about Fox News or something. If Tommy really wanted to be careful to note all the facts, he would note that it was democrats who came out first as “birthers”. But, that would be a little too much truth telling for Tommy.

But, it’s good to see that Tommy has apparently given up on trying to create some sort of faux controversy about t-shirts. That’s really was kinda embarrassing. I know I disagree with you on politics, Tommy, but I really did feel bad for you during your whole ginning up a controversy thing.

Hey – liberals are exempt from civility! Only conservatives need to tone it down. (And yes, I’m being sarcastic…)

What else would you expect from a brain damaged self-hating white person like Chris? After all, this past year, he forgot BHO was” black tonight for an hour.”

LOL

Cmon! Your a lib??? Nah, you cant be. Your too smart for that. But we agree on one thing: Obismo doesnt have a bc. If he a legit one, we have seen it.

Read your article on your interview with Malik Shabazz

“Although I challenged him on many issues, the purpose of this interview was not to debate him, nor was it to make you love/hate the NBPP, but rather, to understand it, to extract a fair picture of the New Black Panther Party, and of its Chairman. I think the interview speaks for itself.

I would also note that Malik Shabazz was an excellent interview subject. When I pitched the interview to him, I stressed that I wanted to give him a chance to tell his side of the story. I realized, during our interview, that I may have given the impression that this would be a puff piece, which is why I prefaced some of the tougher questions. I believe in being up front with people, and I didn’t want him to feel that he had been ambushed, or sandbagged. To his credit, he took no offense, and responded at length to all of my questions.”

It was quite a puff piece, Tommy!

Chris Matthews says some really stupid shit sometimes. No need to call anyone a “cracker.” Just use another equally effective pejorative. Teabagger. They after all called themselves that word first.

“It never ceases to amaze me that the lummox at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word, and still manage to be outraged when someone uses one of the handful of epithets that are popularly directed at white people.”

This comment is telling. Anyone think that Christopher knows any “lummoxes at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word”? If he did, do you think, he heard these people become “outraged when someone uses one of the handful of epithets that are popularly directed at white people”? Even if these two unlikely occurances actually came to pass, do you think it happened often enough to discern it as a trend?

Of course, none of the above is based in reality. Christopher is just a hateful partisan liberal, so all conservatives are “lummoxes at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word”. What a closed minded bigot.

Even if Christopher’s partisan fantasy were true, what does it have to do with the DC’s criticism? Does Christopher think that the DC staff are “lummoxes at the corner bar with a third-grade vocabulary can effortlessly rattle off hundreds of creatively demeaning synonyms for the n-word”? If not, what is his point?

Tommy Christopher is a closed minded liberal partisan. No wonder he has a hard on for Matthews and Olbermann. He hates the same people they do, for the same ignorant reasons.

Matthews is concerned about ratings . . . Not about the color of BH’s skin . . . Believe me. If he doesn’t do something soon, then he is about to be dropped. Anyway, no one else is concerned about BH being a birth-product of Kenya, either. The main thing is what happened to all the transparency and those campaign-points that we heard 2-years ago from this W-Word in the WH. BTW, the W-Word = Weasel . . .

“Puter Boi said:

“No.”

Then why are you talking about lummoxes with a third grade vocabulary? Easier to knock down your straw man than the person actually doing the criticism?

If you are going to peck out your partisan “responses”, how about actually responding to the guy who had the criticism?

Sean68 said:

I don’t know. Maybe they do. But I do wonder whether Chris Matthews sent his kids to public high schools in Philadelphia.

I concluded early in the birther thing that it ultimately became a states rights issue. A state produces paperwork by whatever means and declares it valid. It would not be inconceievable that the child was born in Kenya days before, flown with mother to hawaii whereby a very compassionate democrat system then, for obvious welfare (fed funded) reasons adds the child to the system by documenting the birth, careful not to mention the hospital of birth, or doctor or any other information that can be contested, put the child and mother on the welfare rolls and make an unknowing uncle sam the hero. The actual documents exist somewhere but the old practise is not one the State of Hawaii can simply make public record, as it was fraudulent State Pracise at the time. Ofcourse relatives happy and proud of the child publish all the proper notices in newspaper that coenside with the paperwork, and bingo. It is a little embarrasing that eye witness relatives place him in Kenya at birth and then in two different hospitals, in hawaii, because like any falsification, getting the details out to all family members consistently requires asking somebody to claim things not in their actual memory. And denying things that are. I’m sure the child and mother got care at one or both of the two hospitals, explaining how some (innocent) testemony of relatives do have those places in their memory. Documents are very important things as this episode proves. Hawaii is standing by it’s (updated) documents, the issue is ultimately States Rights. (I’m guessing on all of this)

“Cracker’ is a disparaging term that elite white liberals use to insult poor and working class whites. They wouldn’t send their children to school with anymore than they would with urban blacks or browns.

You’re right, Tommy. When I heard the Black Panther’s rant about killing all those cracker babies, I thought it was just about the sweetest thing ever. And harmless too, no doubt.

My States Rights birther theorey needs an addendum. I propose my forgoing theorey as a plausable explanation of the issue, But that ambercrombie governor’s claim of his personal knowledge of the young childs very early history: implausable, and laughably defensive. He has a states reputation to protect for a motive, To be both the present Governor of the State and also to have an itimate family friend of the Obama’s at Barry’s birth, Pretty weird. I guess implausable things have been known to be true. Cracker Wayne signing out.

The meaning behind the term is an arguably apt description of birthers, but I didn’t say there was “an apt time” to use it. I said Matthews shouldn’t have.

Ouch, I got two thumbs down. Please don’t take me too seriously but if you could please tell me how anything I imagine is impossible and the evidence of it’s impossibility, I really want to know. I’m just having fun here, and have no actual wish that Obama isn’t born here. Persuing truth from the evidence is always an entertaining persuit. The of Certification of Live Birth to me is a legal document according to the State of Hawaii. That is established. What doesn’t follow is that it is therefore based upon a factual and accurate original birth record, that evidence is conspicuously missing. Dismiss my surmising but do me a favor and counter it with a fact. No hard feelings. I love facts. As I have always said to those wanting to impeach Obama, please be nice to him, it’s not his fault he was born a Communist. Cracker Wayne.

Why are Conservatives here getting so rattled at these morons? Can’t you see, this is just Mediate’s PARADE OF CLOWNS. Look at the headliners……………..Chris Matthews (2), Bill Maher (2), Howard Stern, Ron Reagan, and the latest Left-winger to sling-out death threats to Conservatives he disagrees with.

Cummon. Can’t we recognize clown acts when we seem ‘em?

Please excuse my delay in answering you TC, I was out. I stand by my opinion. Here are quotes from various articles written by you that I draw my opinion from:

This reaction is exactly what this story is designed for, and is the culmination of a two-plus year campaign to, in my opinion, unfairly conflate the New Black Panther Party with President Obama, and raise the specter of a nation in the grip of black militancy.

All of this makes the NBPP a perfect bogeyman for those who would try to stoke fear of a black President in mainstream Americans, a tactic that has been tried before, and failed

When the Philadelphia incident occurred on Election Day, the McCain campaign tried to exploit what everyone agrees was an isolated incident while the polls were still open. What would send voters to the polls quicker than the revelation that an Obama victory would result in a New Black Panther police state?

Perhaps the third time is the charm. The facts are all in the Obama administration’s favor (I spoke with Shabazz days after the incident, and he denounced the action at the polling place), but when did that ever make a difference? The idea that whites are being persecuted is an irresistible notion to many Americans, an absolution from the need to take the full measure of our nation’s complicated racial history.

While some conservatives seem invested in conjuring a Black Menace

Honestly, this is a win for everyone involved, except for the audience, who are poorly served by this hysteria.

the purpose of this interview was not to debate him, nor was it to make you love/hate the NBPP, but rather, to understand it, to extract a fair picture of the New Black Panther Party,

The organization has been trotted out by the right several times, always with a seemingly common objective: to create a creeping Black Menace, and conflate it with Barack Obama’s America.

As I said, this my opinion based on your body of work. You don’t have to like it, but it is my opinion. As someone very wise says, “we report, you decide”.

Inappropriate.

I heard it live and I did a spit-take.

He should apologize.

No matter where Mr President Barack Hussien Obama was born, he is the POTUS. No matter what the self defeating ni–ers or race baiting cra—rs think.

Leave it to Tommy Christopher to rationalize using racial slurs. After all, its just a slur meant to demean dirty white folk.

“illustrates one more benefit of white privilege”

Theres no such thing. Its a racist concept actually.

Birthers are universally reviled says the author. Probably only seen as suspicious fools.
Crackers?
Hardly an epithet. No more so than “redneck.”
Another appropriate euphemism for birthers.

Clowns are popular this season. Let’s not forget the terribly unfunny ones named Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity. They are always good for a few page hits.

Without Mediaite to spread the word, most of these “opinionators” would drown in their own swill.
Rush, however does seem to delight in any recognition. All swill is good swill.

The teabaggers were crackers on January 7th, 2010.
The only deviation from the “new civility” is that the teabaggers are still crackers on January 16, 2010.

BTW: Bill Clinton—“You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the ‘cracker vote’ there.”

Make that 2011

hey Tommy? remember that speech Obama gave in Tucson just a couple of days ago? remember how he talked about civility?

he was talking to YOU.

I don’t think he meant “the right needs to be civil to the left, but the left can continue to be hatemongers,” know what I mean?

so please, get a clue.

and “white privilege”? jesus h. christ. why don’t you just go work for the Administration? you’re wasting yourself here at mediaite, pretending to be an objective journalist.

I agree that too much attention is paid to Chris Matthews, especially since hardly anyone watches him. I suspect Bill Maher has even lower viewership. Even HBO subscribers, all 29 million of them, have better things to do than watch Maher.

I doubt that Matthews would last very long at the corner bar trying to debate a guy with a third grade education. Meantime, if I dare disagree with Obama, then I’m subject to being called cracker, whitey, etc by such as christopher, poor and matthews. Me, I’m with the 3rd grader … lol

That is too funny!

I guess Chris Matthews now thinks he is black man, ever since his tingles down his legs for Obama…

Isn’t Crackers the derogatory insulting name African Americans call all the other Americans, who are not black?

So he is calling himself names or is he just embracing the Cracker word, like the way blacks embraced the “N” word?

Indeed Matthews is a cracker without salt.

“Outraged” is a gross ovestatement. One does not become outraged by an insignificant and impotent gnat.

I’m a “Craker”. I love being the “Man”. Black’s can call me anything they like; it bothers me not. I am so happy that I’m White! It’s wonderful to be the envy of every other race.

What kind of bigotry ship are you guys running here? Will someone from Mediaite please yank this guy’s job? If not, I think it is time to take my traffic off your site.

Wherever President Obama was born, he is culturally an alien. Certainly he doesn’t think like us much-maligned “crackers”. Few of us would have associated with a self-admitted domestic terrorist, or a race baiting, America-hating “pastor”.

Don’t get mad at the word Cracker i use it all the time towards all white people! You are all as white as a cracker and always have salty attitudes about everything. So yes white people are CRACKERS!
