MSNBC‘s talking heads won’t stop hammering Texas Gov. Rick Perry this week. With their fists continuing to fly, both Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews have attempted to convince audiences that the governor is a racist.
First, there was “The Ed Show’s” suspect editing of a video clip in order to make it seem as though Perry was making a racist remark about America’s first black president (Shultz has since offered a pseudo-apology).
Then, last night, Chris Matthews made a startling association — that Rick Perry is like “Bull Connor with a smile.”
For those who don’t know, Connor was a Democrat and the Commissioner of Public Safety for the city of Birmingham, Alabama during the civil rights era. He infamously directed the use of fire hoses and attack dogs against peaceful, African American protestors — extreme brutality that was rooted in sheer racism.
This bizarre statement came after Matthews’ guest, Wayne Slater of The Dallas Morning News, reacted to Perry’s criticisms of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Slater explained that entitlements are only the beginning in the push for “states rights.” According to The Daily Caller, he said:
“The question is the attack on Perry is ‘Social Security is a Ponzi scheme,’ ‘Medicare needs to be changed or potentially abolished,’ which is not precisely what he said. Raising questions about the Voting Rights Act saying it is just a tool for gerrymandering in the South and the Civil Rights Act — the terms under which we’ve established — this has the look of someone who when he talks about states’ rights, states’ rights, states’ rights could make some voters, again — very nervous.”

‘Social Security is a Ponzi scheme,’ ‘
Yes and it is and they need to keep their mitts off my share I have been giving them for forty year, stink-in potlickers "GET YOU HAND OFF MY MONEY".
IREUEL, BOW FLEX, BOW TIE, IMBECILE OR WHAT EVER OR WHO EVER YOU ARE?
YOU MUST BE VERY OLD & UGLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR 40 YEARS? AS WELL YOU MUST BE THE ILLITERATE ONE IN THE CHAIR TODAY INSTEAD OF JAMES OR THE COLLEGE KID OR INTELLIGENT ONE? IF YOU ARE COUNTING ON SOCIAL SECURITY THEN YOU REALLY DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A LIFE? LOSER!
I guess a year or so ago, Germany had issued some statement to have more kids
in order to continue funding their scheme.
What? BO says in his book he doesn't like white people, or brown peopel [Mexicans & Indians & darker Asians], even makes despariging remarks about his white grandmother, because she is white. Some one needs to slam BO, it seems his hatred of whites and browns has led to the destablesationi to the USA in retaliation, and even he and Holder with "gun runner" has gotten whites and browns murdered, after all they are the head of the atf, and must be the accountable agents..
Well, obam is not black, but he knew the blacks would fall for that. obam hates anyone that is not arab-muslim, get it fools, (ARAB-MUSLIM)
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN OBAMA IS ONLY 1/8 BLACK
Who are the people entitled to receive Social security payments? The reason I ask ,is it the workers who paid into it , or did our Government decide to add people to the recipient roster? I read a post claiming people from other countries were receiving SS payments, because they were fleeing from oppression ,and a decision was made to add them to Social security as Refugees. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, it appears to be disingenuous, for the Government to be blaming US retirees for mistakes they made. The story told to citizens in 1936, was their SS payments would be put in lock box and would be there when they retired. Our Politicians, decided instead to remove funds frequently leave IOU's . Imagine, if all the dollars paid over the many years,since 1936 had been generating interest , there would be no problem. The Pols. keep talking entitlements are running out, ,but never say if benefits are paid to those who never contributed one dime. It would be refreshing to hear a truthful word from the DC pols. In fact ,it would be a mind numbing first! Speaking of 1936, maybe Obama can shed some light on the issue, since the Social security # he is using was issued that year to a Connecticut resident, while SS officials say they never reissue a number. I wonder how Obama happened to get assigned one, that apparently must have slipped through the cracks.
yea, from soros ass to obamas ass.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN ROBBING S S FOR YEARS IF THEY PAID EVERYTHING BACK THERE WOULD BE A SURPLUS IN THE BILLIONS
The best way around this is for the people to be entitled to keep their own money and save for their own retirement.
I do NOT support Perry in any way, shape or form BUT Chris Matthews IS a horses keister. He would sell his Mother just to be liked. He is one of the most hated men in America. I would love to see him face down.
he is a creep, not to mention a fat ass ugly!
Everyone who doesn't agree with Obama starts out as a racist and ends up a terrorist. Whats new. I'm not a racist I don't like his white half either.
I have to admit that I am indeed a Racist. Obama and his follower's have made me one. I'm sure I'm not the President of the club.
Get Used To It Chris Matthews Your Imposter Muslim Pres Obama Has Been On Vacation Duty With The Tax Payers Money Long Enough, Yikeess, Plus When You Get That Wet Feeling Down Your Leg It Might Be Rick Perry Taking A Leak. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots.
What would Chris Matthews say if he was interviewing Bernie Madoff? Remember him; he said that the model for his Ponzi scheme was the American Social Security System.
That's all anyone needs to know.
And besides, why would he insult Bill Clinton by comparing a Republican to his role model?
Perry never made any racist comments as Chris Matthews has accused him of doing. Just more lies from the Liberal media!
