CULTURAL = RACIST - My letter to Chris Matthews
Dear Chris Matthews,

OK, we've got it. Cultural is the new word for Racist. So why are you pushing this cultural reference you speak of each and every day in reference to how John McCain "must" approach campaigning against Barack Obama? And what are the "Cultural" questions in reference to McCain that you never seem to mention? What about leaving his first wife, who became handicapped, for a younger, richer, healthier woman? Getting the marriage license with Cindy before divorcing Carole? Isn't that Cultural? What about this Anti Semitic Right Wing Paramilitary group that McCain belonged to? Is that Cultural? What about cavorting with the Jews for Jesus set? Isn't that Cultural? Palin's Witch Doctors? What about people who call people liars, when the person doing the calling is the one also doing the lying? Isn't that about a Character issue and thereby cultural?

In other words, why are you pushing the Cultural attacks, which only mean racist attacks. Because you see, Mr. Matthews, I have yet heard you raise one "Cultural" issue about John McCain, and the only difference between those two is that Barack Obama is 1/2 Black. He is not a Muslim, so that ain't it. Hawaii is no more exotic than Alaska, and having met Bill Ayers is not as bad as sleeping with a member of the Alaska Independence Party for seven years; a party founded by a man who wanted to rip a star off of our flag, and said he hated America.

In other words, you are full of it, and I'm tired of the racism that you are selling as acceptable under a new label in front of million of viewers. Why should you be paid for that? Seems un-American to me...and of course, that IS all about "cultural". I will be writing to the heads of NBC/MSNBC on this subject, because you truly offend my senses.

Sincerely,

hardball@msnbc.com

1. FrenchieCat great letter!
Mathews is right in the thick of it and he is helping to feed the bullshit to the masses.

Well done!

10. He did the same thing in 2004 - he wouldn't stop talking about the smears that were thrown at Kerry.

He's very confused about some critical issues.

4. Controversy sells
Chris could care less. Please stop watching. You are helping his ratings which means you are helping him stay on the air and spew his hate talk. "He's not one of us" why can't he get "white working class voters". That man is a card carrying member of the klan.

6. But Tweety is right! Barack Obama cannot appeal to "regular folks." He's not a "man's man," either!
:sarcasm::sarcasm:

:puke::puke::puke:

I hate Tweety and I cannot understand how people can stomach him. I met him at a movie theater in Bethesda, MD where he lives and he was making eyes at me the entire time. I literally felt ill. I cannot stand this man.
