Fresh off his comments, covered earlier today by TruthRevolt, that angry white men support Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, MSNBC's Chris Matthews now claims that "angry white men" would like to erase Barack Obama from the history books - because for the leftist media, the only possible objection anyone could have to Obama must stem solely from racism.
Breitbart reports that on Monday night's Hardball, host Chris Matthews argued that there are some wanting to “erase” President Barack Obama from the history books.
To guest Molly Ball from The Atlantic, Matthews said,
“My theory Molly - and I’m not a person of color, but I have a particular theory about this charge. I think the really angry guy out there, mostly guy, white guy, thinks if he can erase him from that picture of what we get as kids from the presidents, begins with George Washington through Lincoln and Roosevelt, and there is a president who is black, they want to make sure he is not there. Somehow that book has an asterisk. Pete Rose didn’t really get in the Hall of Fame. Somehow he’s not there. They keep picking at it, because they do. All the polls, 43% of Republicans say he’s a Muslim. Where do they get that from?”
Where do we get that from? Well Chris, perhaps that suspicion stems not from the color of Obama's skin - and in any case, Islam is not a race, so Obama's race has nothing to do with it - but from the fact that Obama's policies are consistently pro-Islamist, that he has welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood into key positions in his administration, and that he has expressed himself in ways that feed that suspicion (Does "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam" ring a bell?)
Molly Ball went on to trot out the same old leftist defense of the President that Obama is representative of a change that makes white Americans feel "uncomfortable." The leftist media like the raging idiot Matthews and his guests will not - they can not - acknowledge that what makes Americans of all colors "uncomfortable" is the radically anti-American, anti-Constitutional change wrought by Obama's policies.
In other words, it's not the color of Obama's skin but the [lack of] content of his character that makes Americans angry. It's the radical content of his political character. And that's what leftist historians of the future would truly like to erase from the history books.
