Chris Matthews finally goes there: "McCain & Palin are encouraging the hate" (not his exact words)

[Cush]

[Tesla]

1. Good. It's about damn time.

[CJCRANE]

2. Shame on the MSM

for tolerating and even propagating McCain-Palin's rabble-rousing and far-right poison.

It's time for someone take a stand against it.

Subject: MSM, If something happens to Barack Obama the blood will be on your hands

You the, 'Main Stream Media', are complicit, in my opinion. YOU can help put a stop to this right now. So sad that I am seeing the very opposite happen; Most of the media are actually having fun with this instead of striking it down. A few of you are stepping up (ie... Andrea, Keith, Chris and Rachel) and trying but much more needs to be done. If lynch mob type comments are heard in the crowd the person(s) needs to be pulled right away and the candidate(s) must also strike them down, pointing them out to security. They are not doing this, and we know that they hear the comments. PLEASE, MSM, just do your job!!! This kind of BS happens in third world countries, NOT in America.

4. Finally? He's been ripping HARD on that issue for a week now.

5. Chris has been one of the few to really speak up about this.

He mentioned it yesterday as well. I felt he deserved a "Chris" instead of Tweety since he was actually bringing up their crappy hate-filled speeches. Chris is also the name of my brother and my husband so its a good name in my book.

6. KO & Rachel say it too.

[eShirl]

7. about time (btw, only someone's exact words should be put in quotes)

[RepublicanElephant]

8. wtf, chris?! obama came here as an immigrant? his is the immigrant story?

chris had to be corrected by richard wolfe, but still didn't correct himself.

obama's dad was the immigrant. obama was born a us citizen in hawaii.

mcsame was born on foreign soil.

you really need to clear this up, chris!

9. He was all over Buchanan yesterday.

Buchanan himmed and hawed, never answered the questions, made excuses, and laughed. Kept saying "they are legitimate questions".

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

10. That was classic

He punked PukeCannon so badly that it was laughable.

[riverwalker]

11. He has redeemed himself a thousand fold

No more "Tweety" for me. Chris it is.
Mr. Matthews, sir.

12. Andrea Mitchell is very worried.

Wolf Blitzer is also talking about it.
