Chris Matthews raving that folks in Africa will be enraged over Jackson's death ..."they killed him"
Edited on Mon Aug-24-09 04:16 PM by KoKo
he's saying. Raving ..insinuating that Michael was "killed" because he was a black entertainer? He's just trying to push Rev. Jesse Jackson into saying Michael was "killed" and to his credit Rev. Jackson said there will always be different theories but we should wait for the facts. The entertainment reporter, Courtney something was also trying to calm Matthews down saying there has to be "intent" but we don't know how the case will be tried. But, Matthew kept raving about "Africans in Swaziland" will think he was killed and all over the world they will think it.

:eyes: What's with him trying to stir up some racial thing? All last week he was raving about the gun nuts at Obama's town hall meetings (and I thought that was good) but now I'm wondering if he hasn't "jumped the shark" and is trying to stir up racial hatred or something.

It was bizarre and that's why I posted it, because it seemed there was something wrong with Matthews, and viewers should keep an eye on him if he's trying to stir up racial hatred.

2. Jackson was a drug addict, the Dr. was just
his current supplier. Jackson would have got his 'fix' whether from this Dr. or another.

The Dr. is a greedy sleezeball, should do time for 'dealing' (maybe manslaughter too) and be struck off every medical register world wide.

But the key point in all this is - MJ was an addict - and addicts die from overdoses all the time.

4. It's long past time one of "them" went over the border to crazy town while live on the air.
Just after the election someone posted a YouTube video of popping heads at the Faux Snooze Channel... I had to watch a couple of times until I realized it wasn't a documentary.

Matthews is almost a gimme, but Bill O'RLY's the one who's going to become a YouTube icon when he loses his shit (again).

7. Why the hell should Africa care anyway?
It's not like Jackson just came over on the boat. He was an American, for chrissakes.

9. Chris said he was just in "Swaziland" for two weeks and they would be
devasted and then "up in arms," about this. Remember Chris was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Africa under President Kennedy. He was young and at least signed up. It was that or Vietnam, I guess.

10. That's EXACTLY what bothered me about his Opening Hysteria...
It was like those "Black Africans" are gonna mount a raid on America because Michael Jackson was "King of Pop" and his death was that he was "KILLED" (according to Chris)

That's why I posted ...it was beyond bizarre his carrying on! :eyes:

14. Tweety was in epic form during the 2008 primaries, particularly before the PA primary
That was when that whole Rev. Wright thing went down.

Tweety was stirring shit up like nobody's business.

I've seen him do it many times before.
