Chris Matthews Confronts Heckler Who Called Obama 'Communist'

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Chris Matthews confronted a heckler who called President Obama a "Communist" ahead of Thursday's vice-presidential debate.

He was with the crowd outside of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, where the debate will be held. Matthews was speaking to an Obama supporter when another woman in the crowd yelled, "Communist!"

He went to her moments later and asked her to explain what she meant.

All you have to do is study it out," she said. "Just study it out. And youll see. You havent done your homework, buddy."

What do I need to study? the MSNBC host asked.

Hes a communist, she alleged. And those of us who are not voting for him know it.

And what do you mean by communist? Matthews pressed.

You dont know? she shot back. After some more back-and-forth, Matthews pressed, I just want to know what you mean."

Her answer was, Oh, I know what I mean."

Well, help us out. Youre on national television, he said. She told Matthews again to "just study it out." He then asked her if she believes the president is an American.

No. Just because he was born here doesnt mean he thinks like us. Hes a communist, buddy," she said, as the crowd booed and Matthews walked away.

Video at the source, buddy!

Study it out.

Study it out.

I think "Communist" is another word on the "Racist dog-whistle" list Matthews has compiled.

Let's see Communist kinda means collective and everyone knows that Welfare is the fruit of the collective.

There oughts be a hate-crimes law against using these dog-whistle terms.... pisses me off man.

Figures you'd focus on Matthews instead of the ridiculous woman in this video.

Matthews was quite calm, and simply asked what she meant. Unfortunately, she couldn't answer.

You might want to go easy on using such terms because you know how it works,

you feel at ease to call low class whites Rednecks and someone else might feel at ease calling poor illegals "wet backs" and someone else has a term for Blacks in the Hood.

It's just not a good path to go down.

You're right. I withdraw that label.

Thick republican halfwits. That's better.

Of course not. It's not part of the script she's been provided by the Republican propaganda organ. They rely on ignorance. And they build it.

i wonder how much her fee was for her performance, and who paid her?

As if!!!!!

Is the Romney campaign going for a 'Clueless' theme? :rofl:

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Nah you just didn't do your homework, buddy.

You don't believe people like this actually exist without being paid?

They definitely exist without being paid, but as evidence shows they aren't too bright. Most folks this stupid are too busy trying to figure out how to get the gum out of their hair, not how to get themselves on teevee.

I think it's probably because he is a republican, and all republicans know that it is in fact Liberals that are the stupid ones. They know this because their mom/halfmom/"older sister" said so and therefore it must be true.
