Matthews: All ‘Teabaggers’ White? Maybe Not…
by Bob ParksIt is with the authority of knowledge that is MSNBC’s Chris Matthews that he declared of the ‘teabaggers’,
Here’s a news flash for ya, Chris… my son and I were there, as were many other black people. Maybe your crack staff at MSNBC failed to show you these pictures I (a black man) posted on September 12, 2009.
Sorry about having my back to you, Chris, but I was covering the event for my site and the New Media Alliance.
But tell you what, Mr. Matthews. I know a few of the black people who attended the 9/12 Tea Party on The Hill, including some of the ones who SPOKE AT THE PODIUM! I guess your camera people missed them as well.
If you wish, we can meet with you on Hardball at a time of your choosing and you can call us all-white teabaggers to our faces.

Uh Oh. Looks like little Chrissy has wet his pants again.
Where are all the fact checkers….Oh thats right, they are checking out Sarah Palins book, they are not interested in real distortions of the truth. Mr. Parks, I would LOVE to see you have a little sit down with Mr. Matthews, however, I don't believe that the truth really matters to him. Maybe a few e-mail requests might help.
There is no point in trying to prove Matthew's is crazy. It is plain to see by now. By all but himself, of course.
Nice!
Well said Mr. Parks, well said!!
Hispanic here!
But, obviously, the fact that Mr. Parks is black only supports Matthews' thesis – it is like global warming: the colder it gets, the stronger the evidence for the planet heating up.
Thank you, Bob Parks! I am so tired of people in this country crying "racism" when there is none. We are ALL God's children and I wish we would act like it. The whole "tea party" movement is about seeing through the lies and attempt at ourtirght socialism, not about color.
A black man surrounded by 10,000 angry whites is not an interracial event… it's a klan meeting.
MSNBC has a dress code….blinders!
If you're interested and/or capable to express your love or disdain for ComCast's recent acquisition of MSNBC, etal., please jot down this link. Here the email addresses are listed for the ComCast Corp. Communication heads.
Tell them how much YOU enjoy Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow, etc.
I'm sure the company can kick itself for the purchase.

Remember, YOU subscribers are paying the salaries for these telegenic hemorrhoids.
Wow that's pretty racist of Chris, treating our fellow Americans as if they are invisible and inconsequential.
Not only does Bob Parks have a point but one of the headliners who sang at every event was not only a great entertainer, you can find him on YouTube but he was also a black person. The events are also attended by every stripe and color but by both parties. Independents, Democrats and Republicans were in attendance.
The Conservative Edge
I was one of the invisible 1.5 million people there in DC on 9-12……..the majority of the crowd was white, BUT, there were blacks, hispanics, and non white folks marching too.
One hispanic lady was carrying a sign that read "Hispanics are conservatives too!"
Remember not too long ago at a health care debate MSNBC kept showing a man with a rifle and sidearm and kept saying that it was violent angry white protestors/Teabaggers showing up at town halls. They only showed the guns and never the person or his skin color. Because that would go against the illusion of angry white people since this individual happened to be black.
They said the same at a Sarah Palin book signing going look at all those white people. Considering this country is still 79.98% white the odds are in most situations you will see more white people than any other race. Even if it is standing in line to get a book signed or just standing in line to go pee.
They wish to create an illusion that this is racist and at the same time deny any person of color of supporting anything about the tea parties.
corrections- should say "other" non white folks marching too.
I attended every tea party I could afford and you had people from all backgrounds. 912 movement was a blog that transformed into groups across this nation.. We never knew or cared about the color of their skin or background. I sick of the racist talk from the media, the only racist are those in the media.
Thank you Mr. Parks. You are a true hero. Only someone cold-bloodedly stupid as Chris Matthews could make such a statement. When will he and his elietist bunch ever understand we are on to them? They are the true racists in this country.
Keep up the good work sir! We stand with you!
Funny, I don't remember seeing Chris Matthews at the 9/12 rally in Washington. Had he been there, he would have seen Native Americans, Asians, African Americans, Hispanics and just plain Americans. Maybe I should e-mail him pictures? Why are we still hearing a word he says? IGNORE the MSM, the political elite, the White House, those nut jobs in Congress and anyone else who does not represent the American people.
It's 2010–time to take back our country! Register every like-minded person to vote and drive them to the polls in November. Donate money to candidates who represent your views and values and keep in touch with them to hold them accountable as long as they're in office. Vote them out if they begin to stink like most of the DC gang does now. Heck, run yourself. Our founding fathers meant for the legislators to be representative of the citizens of the country. That means hairdressers, grocery store owners, steel workers, nurses…the list goes on. Don't leave the political battle to the slimy people. We can do this!
Way to "man-up" Bob!! Calling Chris out like that is awesome. I hope he takes you up on your offer to be on his program so you play "hardball" with him.
mikatollah,
You are a racist baiting moron! As a not 100% white individual I not only attended a TEA Party I helped organize one. You have no idea what you are talking about so I suggest you step back and let us continue to save your race baiting butt…cause it's obvious you are too weak willed and minded to save yourself!
Punks like Matthews need to come and call people teabaggers to their face as the gentleman says. Only the truly blind or stupid could not see why people are upset with the government. Looking for skin color seems to be a specialty of Matthews and his party. The rest of us see the debt, the waste, the corruption and infringement of our freedom. I did not go to a tea party to count skin color. By the way , I imagine people who throw names around like teabagger so casually were probably similar to the ones throwing around nigger in a different time.
There were many blacks and Hispanics at Tea Patrty gatherings, mikatollah. Hell, the picture of the guy with a gun, that many lefty shows put up, cutting off his head, WAS A BLACK MAN !
Stop drinking the DNC KOOL-Aid, mikatollah; it has rotted what little was left of your brain.
Every time they say TeaBagger they commit a HATE CRime against Homosexuals,
wonder if Obama and his sickening Atoorney General will prosecute Matthews?
Mathews is a douche! You may press 'Reply' and quantify the spiritual meaning concerning my statement, if you please.
Liberals are racist scum! everything is about race to them; they refuse to see humanity simply as people, they want race distinctions, classifications enforeced by laws that strip down and reduce human binegs to color coded numbers
They also claimed that it was men who like Sarah Palin; yet when the lines of people waiting to get her to sign their books were shown, there appeared to be as many women as men in the lines.
THEY LIE !
BRAVO, Mr. Parks; well done/well said !
Have the next Tea Party in the parking lot where Chris Matthews parks. Show him. He still believes everything he hears on Olbermann
Thanks to Mr. Parks for speaking out. Readers would be well served to visit http://www.lloydmarcus.com and see a real patriot! Lloyd Marcus has been a friend of mine since I joined the Republican Executive Committee of Volusia County in 2005. He proudly describes himself as a black unhyphenated American. Lloyd's columns appear frequently on AmericanThinker.com. He is a gifted artist and talented singer. He has participated as a featured entertainer on both Tea Party Express tours this year. He wrote the Tea Party Anthem and a fabulous parody of "New York, New York" called "2010." Unfortunately, Mr. Matthews is so insulated from reality he has no clue of the tremendous talent and dedication of patriots like Lloyd.
We don't need a third party, but welcome the tea partiers who want to join us in defeating the socialists who are destroying our company. Those in the media who mock us are in for a very big wake up in November 2010.
That is fear talking, Matthews is so afraid of the Tea Parties he CAN'T see diversity. He can't afford to give any credence to the Tea Parties, because then he would have to listen to them. That can't happen.
They are afraid of us. We need to take what they say for what it is, fear. We have the power and need to keep speaking out boldly. We need to be very watchful and not let them steal our next election. Don't get beaten into submission
I for one am going to try to find out how to help at the polls. I have never done it, but it is time for us to get out and make sure the Dallas Cowboys don't vote in every state.
….as opposed to the stellar polychromatic line-up at MSNBC. Scarborough, Brezinzski, Mitchell, Schultz, Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow…WOW! What a diverse group!
Well since Chris was practicing the art of tea-bagging on a young Male producer when they edited the film he probably missed you. Kind of hard to see he was on his knees and his view was blocked Brahahhahah
The liberals consider themselves as being non-racist, but their belief is that every person in a minority group is somehow disadvantaged, and therefore needs assistance of some sort-preferably from the Government. In other words, their most cherised belief is that it is up to government -the rich, priviledged and powerful elite, usually white and male, needs to take care of the poor, ignorant, minority who can't possibly take care of themselves. I will never understand why that form of patronization is not seen for what it is-blatant racism akin to big white daddy keeping the po' black folk down on the farm and taking care of them. I pray for the day people wake up to the real racists!
I have to wonder HOW MANY black friends Chris Matthews has??? Why is RACE such an issue with this election??? Just because the president is half black??? I for one would be proud to have a black president, as this country is so diverse…but the PRESIDENT HAS TO BE HONEST!!! Obama has lied all the way to the White House, and he has set this country back 50 years with his race baiting!!! This is despicable! He makes most black people look bad by acting this way!!
The issue shouldn't be if they are all White or not, but why that is considered a bad thing. How many Whites are in the Congressional Black Caucus?
How many supporters were there and how many are Black?
I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Matthews "crack staff" is made up of all "white crackers."
No offense meant to those who enjoy Saltines.
After famously saying about feeling the tingle up the leg, Chris Matthews convinced me she was an Obama girl.
Race is an issue to those who are racists. Those of us who are not racists have no problem with blacks
and whites being together. During the civil rights movement, whites were few among blacks. It wasn't an all black thing. This isn't an all white thing, either.
A lot of us add our ethnicity in front of American because we are proud to be our ethnicity as well as being a proud American. These days we seem to be allowing that designation to be used to divide us and encourage us to fight amongst ourselves. Concerned Americans are taking part in tea parties. Chris Matthews not only tries to marginalize us by calling us "tea-baggers" and racists but he tries to divide us by skin color. Now we are trying to prove we are "pc" by showing all the different skin colors of tea party attendees. We don't need to prove to anyone that we are not racist. We need to show our seriousness by not being distracted.
I am a proud, unhyphenated American.
The fact checkers are still out trying to convince themselves that the man with the AR15 at the Phoenix health care town hall was white too. Morons. Kudos to Chris from 4409 for going that day and showing the media for the tools that they really are.
How many tinfoil hats are in your closet?
Thats actually a good idea. If the Tea Party protest start targeting Rockerfeller Center and the windows that are behind these anchors facing the streets then they will have only one of two choices. Acknowledge them or close the blinds. Either way it will be lose and lose for them and win for the tea party movement.
Ok two black men… sorry. Forgot about the guy with a gun.
That was one cable TV visual that you should be trying to duck. It didn't help you make the point that you are somehow the new mainstream and are not nut-crazy.
Race is an issue to all of us. And anyone who says otherwise is not being truthful. As for blacks and whites "being together", check out the visuals of a Democratic convention. That is what a party looks like that addriess the goals of more than one race. This article is absurd because it illustrates the sheer whiteness of the teabagger movement.
Yeah, too bad a black man named David Webb co-organized the NYC tea party.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66pEybygy7E
Another lefty who hates when blacks don't conform to their expectations of them (which are pretty damn low).
Ditto here, with a native American background on one side, and the other side is pure immigrant like the rest of us who are non-native Americans. Our Tea Parties have had a complete mix of people of all colors/backgrounds, including the speakers. The elites have nowhere to run, so they must use the racist/astroturf/GOPfunded/think of any other label monikers to deride the movement. And….just because things appear quiet on the Tea Party front right now, boy-oh-boy they are really not, and I hope no-one makes the mistake of believing this. Or not?
If you have a Tea Party on the National Mall on a weekend, you might as well have it in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
If you don't like MSNBC then change the channel… go watch Fox News. MSNBC loves calls and e-mails from righties complaining about liberal programing. They use your numbers to justify higher advertising rates.
No one at MSNBC believes that all they need to do to get teabaggers to tune in is fire Chris Matthews. And it's all about the ratings.
Oh, good one! You can write for that hack Bill Maher with funnies like that.
Chris Matthews is a dumb son of a bitch! Period! He can kiss my mother fucking ass!
And there you have it, in black and white.
If by diverse you mean blonds AND redheads.
I look forward to the day when MSNBC is replaced by reruns of Gilligan's Island. The ratings would go through roof compared to now.
Like I said, more black folks on the stage than in the crowd.
Great article Bob. Like to see more from you. Don't waste your time with this loser (no one with a brain watches him anyway). Why help improve his low ratings. Don't dignify his statements – no need, as everyone knows he's a moron. Continue to do what you do with your head held high. There are many, many Americans (all backgrounds) that are waking up!
I'm sorry, that's the funniest thing I have read all day.
"That is what a party looks like that addriess the goals of more than one race" — Oh, you slay me with that line. Tell me why the 10 most crime ridden and the 10 poorest cities are predominantly Democrat and have been for a while.
I eagerly anticipate youe response blaming Republicans and/or Libertarians.
If by majority you mean 98 percent then I can buy that. But I would still be surprised if you even counted the police and DC onlookers and the maintenance crews if you could find 200 blacks at that rally (2 percent of 10,000).
This may not be PC, but just like blacks, there are more than one shade of white.
As of 2008 the American population is 75 percent white and we are getting less white every year. The Republican party is more in the range of 92-95 percent white. Diversity is a point of pride for the Democratic party.
Who's Chris Matthews again?…Oh yeah he's that guy on that cheesy infomercial station, MSDNC, right? I never buy what they're selling.
So what if they were white, who cares? Disgruntled white citizens count for less, somehow?
Are they out of fashion, Chris?
When there's a legalization rally in LA,, does Fox News say
"yeah, but it was just a bunch of Mexicans"-?
What a waste of time you are, Tingles- you big dope. Keep your self-loathing to yourself,
I've got no reason to make any apologies for my heritage…
http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com...
He and Brooks make a great pair don't they? Over at PJM I skewer Brooks' latest piece claiming all tea party types are uneducated.
I went out to youtube and picked a teabagger rally video at random. It turned out to be a march in Austin for Ron Paul. I watched for 2+38 and if a non white person marched by this camera I missed it. Maybe you can find someone I missed.

I'm not saying baggers are all white because they exclude people of color. I'm sure they would love to have more representation from minorities. They are all white because people of color won't join them.
Poor mikatollah. I do sense a gnashing of teeth from the real bigots and haters. Con artists and pathalogical
liars just cant stand to be found out and it shows from the comments by this analcrainialencephlamotic buffoon.
A teabagger is an angry right wing rally goer who likes to dress up with teabags dangling from their headgear and parade around in front of the cameras holding signs with dead babies and Nazi symbols on them.
Pretty bold talk from a typist. Only cowards threaten when there is no risk.
I don't get your point. Teabagging is a hate crime? I think victims of hate crimes would disagree.
Im sure you would not have forgotten if it was a white man holding that gun. You fit right in with the rest of the pathologicals.
Spiritual meaning? Your meaning comes through loud and clear. So turn off MSNBC.
Bold words sage… sounds like projection to me.
Awwww… you have a black friend. That's so sweet!
Great point!
Teabag diversity? You mean herbal AND mint? Please join the Republican party. Ideologues are poison to a political party that depends on compromise to form electoral coalitions. The first time you don't get your way you will go home and pout… and blog.
Thanks for tuning in….
Dems don't choose people of color, they choose us. And that is really the whole point.
The only teabaggers I know are the trolls that vistit this site ( I am making an assumption, but it's a high probability guesstimate )
The Medias broad sweeping statements about who is what politically is par for course, nice to see someone challenging them, I doubt you will get any takers but if you let us know!
Chris Matthews is an Avatar. Does that mean that we should call him "Blue"?
Is that the worst insult you can muster for Matthews… that he is female? You shouldn't need to wonder why 55 percent of American women voters are Democratic. It's that attitude or yours.
Right on brother sims… white power.
Mr. Tingles appears to know a great deal about this deviant homosexual practice. Kinda makes ya think, yes?
A teabagger who won't watch MSNBC… now there is a shocker. Hardly worth blogging about.
It gets better! Noting like a little, "I'm rubber and you're glue" in an adult conversation.
You are one angry little bagger…
Not everyone thinks like you Lew. There are enough of us to keep Chris on TV until he decides to give it up.
He is manic, isn't he!
Are u mad yet? Show everyone by picking up some anti-Dem stuff at:
http://www.keep2theright.com
Just as well. Chris doesn't advertise gold or boner pills, so you wouldn't be interested.
Good job Dave… way to find Asians in Hawaii.
Hey Miholea! I happen to live near one of those shithole dying cities. Detroit, ever hear of it? This city along with a littany of others are shining examples of the failure of evil socialist democrat policies.
Insideous policies designed to create a class of weak, childlike, dummed down, dependent citizens.
What a f-ing nightmare. Stuff that in your Hooka Pal
You're an idiot. Your "dear leader" is 50% white, 43% Arab Muslim and only 7% Black. 43% MUSLIM you yoyo. The black people in this country are realizing this elitist a$$ does not care one iota about the black race in this country but are afraid to speak out. Wait till 2010 elections.
No, you're right Dan. Republicans have pretty much washed their hands of the inner cities. And who cares about Libertarians. They only generate a few dozen votes on election day and live largely in self imposed political exile.
Now Eye, that is one cool word. I may have to steal it…
They are my people.
No he won't because if he came out of the closet, then he would be a bigger hypocrite than he is already. I wish he would though. Matthews tingles would turn into coronary attacks.
Thanks, good to know. You got the hemorrhoid part right.
Ouch.. good one guest. Can I call you guest?
Can you read? That's why it says " express your love OR disdain". If you love Tingles, please email them your love—ComCast can give rats-ass about his ratings—bottom line, baby! No subscribers, no cable installers, maybe, no idiots.
Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
DID ANYONE NOTICE THIS? LOL!
