The race-baiting continued on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews Wednesday evening when he, once again, managed to slander the Tea Party as bigoted white folks for using phrases like "We the American People." If the phrase sounds familiar, it might be the fact you probably read it from the U.S. Constitution itself. Matthews had this to say in regards to the phrase:
When they say 'we the American people' who are they talking about? Are they only talking about people of a certain Evangelical background? A certain region? Who are they talking about when they confidently say 'we the American people' as if they don't mean blacks from the big cities. They don't mean people of other religions besides Christianity. Who are they talking about?
After a brief reply from Mother Jones columnist David Corn, spouting cliched anti-Republican rhetoric, Matthews then took his daily swing at Ted Cruz and his Cuban/Canadian heritage.
I'm not going to quit on this point. I like immigrants, especially people who come here legally and play by the rules. He did that. But his father's from Cuba. He just got here from Canada, and yet he gets to dictate who an American is. He gets to write out everybody in the northeast, everybody who is a liberal, everybody who is a minority. The blacks who were here for 400 years, are they Americans or just the guy who got here from Canada with a Cuban father? How do you get to dictate this stuff to America to your convenience. It's an awesome arrogance.
This concludes yet another segment of..."The Chris Matthews Race-Bait of the Day".
