Chris Matthews is hardly one that cares if anyone is offended by anything he says, but these latest boo boos are even much for him.
As Bobby Jindal approached the microphone to respond to Obama's speech to Congress, Chris Matthews could be heard whispering "Oh, God." The response of the MSNBC staff? The MSNBC crew was laughing.
Then, when describing Jindal's response as the Republican Party speaker, Matthews used the word "outsource." Jindal is an Indian-American whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India in 1970.
Chris Matthews is a proven idiot, so the fact that he did these things is not what has me writing this post. Such moronic things are expected from the idiot. The silence by his peers in the mainstream media, and the silence of The Left, however, is what has me appalled.
Nobody has cornered Matthews for his remarks (though I heard he later apologized for the "Oh, God" remark.
Could you imagine if such remarks had been made by a "right wing" personality about a Democrat? The journalist in question would quickly be unemployed, run out of the industry (just ask Imus) and the media would be hammering everyone to the right of center for the remarks of the so-called conservative.
And imagine if the, say, FoxNews crew laughed when it was said, too. . . well, all hell would break loose, and the FoxNews Network would be demonized for daring to have staff that would laugh at such an off-color remark.
Of course, double standards are commonplace when it comes to the Democrats.
Speaking of double standards: Remember all of the bumper stickers and signs about George W. Bush, comparing him to various historical madmen, and saying things that if taken literally would be considered a threat?
Not a single arrest, though, right?
But put a sign in your car saying to Abort Obama, and . . . well See Video Here of man pulled over by the police for having that anti-Obama sign on his car.
