Misogynistic Mathews: 1969 in a 2011 World

Newsbusted recently exposed the tactics used by Chris Mathews in discussing Newt Gingrich. in which a transcript of the discussion, as well as the video clip is displayed. 


It is pretty clear that Mr. Mathews lives in 1969 and not 2011. He lives in a world where it is acceptable to engage in misogynistic tactics in interrogating subjects, rather than interviews. He lives in a world where Michigan is primarily black and Texas is primarily white. He lives in 1969. 


Mr. Mathews fighting in the wrong field, and I don’t know why anyone would let him take them there. Even the blacks are fleeing Detroit in droves. They are heading to places all over the US where there is still freedom, and the data shows this. Why is Michigan being characterized as “black?” THAT is ignorant and racist.  And who is the person who is the new “spokesman” for Detroit? Eminem? Isn’t he a white guy who cleans out closets and dubs his videos in Arabic?


The problem is that once again, MSBC engages in misogyny by brow beating a woman. The likes of Larry O’Donnell and Chris Mathews flourish in browbeating women of all color. I don’t know the woman in this clip, or why she was on this show, but she clearly has never had to push back in Illinois politics. Here is how the “push back” should have gone. 


When Mathews started going on and on about Obama being raised by his white mother raising him, she should have come back with “So why did Obama write “Dreams of my Father” rather than “Dreams of my Mother?” Why did Obama write about the “coil of rage” he harbors against his mother and all white people because of her? Who is the racist? Obama who harbors a coil of rage, not Newt Gingrich! I don’t see any books by Newt Gingrich talking about his rage against white people, black people, or any other people. I do see Newt Gingrich standing up for Free Market Principles. This is consistent with Mr. Alford of the Black Chamber of Commerce, Alan Keyes, US Ambassador, and Herman Cain, formerly of the Federal Reserve. How is that racist?

Disagreeing with Mr. Obama on how to answer the three fundamental questions of economic organization does not make one a racist. Why is it that people cannot disagree with Mr. Obama’s white half? Why must all disagreements be with Mr. Obama’s black half? Why is Mr. Obama a racist?


Is not the mere suggestion that the comparison of Michigan versus Texas implied racism on Chris Mathew’s part? Yes, Chris Mathews is a racist. As a Hispanic, I was very offended by Mathews remarks. Mathews clearly was attempting to slam the millions of Hispanics in Texas by implying they were inferior to the Arabs who have taken over in Michigan. I was furious that Chris Mathews would use antiquated stereotypes of these two regions to imply Newt Gingrich is a racist, attempt to frame the When was the last time Chris Mathews was in Texas? Or Michigan? How antiquated of MATHEWS to suggest that this is about “Black v White.” Does he think this is 1969 or 2011?

The battle ground coming before our nation is not black versus white. Both populations are in decline and are no longer the dominant cultural force. The dominant cultural force in Michigan is Arabic, not black or white. The dominant cultural force in Texas is Hispanic, not black or white. Has Chris Mathews left his studio since 1969? Black versus White? That is like talking about the battle of Vicksberg in discussing our battle strategy in Afghanistan. It is a fundamentally outdated way of examining the conflicts on the streets of America today. The battle today in the US is more like the battle that Queen Isabella fought in her nation. Both blacks and whites are fighting against the entrenchment of Sharia law in our nation.

Are the rural black Christian commu
nities in Texas, the Hispanics in Texas somehow less valuable that the Arab communities in Detroit? Who is the racist? Who is the misogynist? It isn’t Newt Gingrich.
