Why does anyone give a fuck about Chris Matthews.
Fuck him he is worse than Hannity.
I was wondering how a reference to Mohammed was racist. Assup, could you explain that, in your typical civil and thoughtful fashion? Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyI'm sure he doesn't realize that Mohammad was the same race as the Jews. He was caucasian. The Jews and the Arabs are both descended from Abraham. Islam is a religion not a race. The knee jerk response, of reflexively defending anyone who hates America, is a liberal trait that I find especially agravating.
I'd be willing to bet you don't know anything about Islam and it's origins.maybe but this guy sure knows

The one thing that I would add is that I think, and this is just my opinion, is that Islam is going through their Crusades. Islam is what, 400 / 450 years "younger" than Christianity? It's just their growing pains. We had ours; we just had ours almost a thousand years ago.
For some unenlightened people any criticism of a person of color must be prompted by racism which is actually racist. I have to correct Olivia with that in mind. You stated that the majority of Americans must not be racist because Obama was elected. That kind of says that those who didn't vote for Obama are racists which is not the truth. I would venture an opinion that the vast majority of Americans are not racist whether they vote for a person of color or not. Note the high regard for Nickki Haley, Bobby Jindal, Herman Cain, and Condeleeza Rice. Huge numbers of republicans would happily vote for any of the four and have for two. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornAre you serious? This is the kind of racist bullshit I'm talking about. I in NO WAY implied that those that didn't vote for Obama were racists. I didn't vote for him, and I'm not a racist. In your zeal to be The Enlightened like Obama, you are pulling the same nonsense that he does. Being smug doesn't make everyone else a racist. Being smug and seeing shadow racists around every corner like this makes you a race carder and keeps the race card alive.
I also need to point out that any excuse for poor behavior based on race is racism. You can't blame Joe, he grew up in a ghetto and doesn't know any better. Saffron is a nice girl but considering her culture she can be expected to act properly. You can't expect Barry to love his country, he was raised by socialists and of course his race and the whole slavery thing... Originally Posted by JD BarleycornFind one place where I said anything like this? I'm done with racism and idiots that keep it alive. Everyone needs to get over it. Slavery? All of us are descended from slaves. Conquering armies on every continent took slaves from the ranks of the conquered. The only demographic that is and has been continually kept as slaves / chattel is women. Got anything smug or pseudo-intellectual innuendo to pontificate about that?
maybe but this guy sure knows
