Sigh. Yes, sadly predictable. As Twitchy reported, Paul Ryan praised Obama’s campaign ground game. That was cause for shrieks from the Left. Why? Because he dared to mention how well the president did in urban areas. So, of course, wacko Chris Matthews had to jump on the race-baiting bandwagon with the latest entry in the Handbook of Racial Code Words: Urban.
I’ll take Chris Matthews, aka @hardball_chris, for $400, Alex! RT @divadoll123 What asshat equates the term “urban” to racism?

Tingles Still Hearing The “Dog Whistle,” Claims Paul Ryan Using Word “Urban” Is Racist… tinyurl.com/aa699ej

Urban is totally a dog whistle!
More from NewsBusters:
“This guy Paul Ryan, who I still don’t think is right for primetime yet by any means, talking about the urban vote,” fumed Matthews. “No, they won the other side because they got the most, because they won fair and square which is the first thing Ryan said.”
“Why did he have to go step on his own headline ‘They won fair and square’ by saying, ‘Oh it was the black vote?’” Matthews preposterously asked. “Basically, that’s what he was saying.”
Basically, you are an idiot, sir. Of course, when Joan Walsh uttered the dreaded “U” word later, not a peep from wacko Matthews. Twitter users immediately pushed back against this latest absurdity.
Isn’t it racist of MSNBC to assume Paul Ryan was talking about blacks & Hispanics when he mentioned the “urban vote”? realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/11/…

Yes, yes it is. Just like it’s racist when Progressives of Pallor like Bill Maher assume that all minorities are poor and take the bus. Or when Hollyweird Obama cultist Ellen Barkin thinks that all “those people” must think and vote alike, and that the poor “brown people’ can’t possibly need identification in order to fully function in society.
@sistertoldjah Yes, I hear Ohio State football coach is changing his name to Ur Meyer.

Since the word “URBAN” is code for “raaacism”, should Urban Outfitters change their name?

If the word “urban” is racist, why is Urban Outfitters so white?

If we are to infer racism when the GOP says “urban”, shld we also assume the left are bigoted against country folk when they say “rural”?

Should Keith Urban start referring to himself as “Keith Kidman” to avoid the appearance of raaacism?

@sistertoldjah I wonder if @hardball_chris thinks General Motors is “racist” since they manufacture the Chevy SubURBAN?

Hey, Tingles, what about all these raaaaaacist news articles?!?
Keep in mind all the countless reminders from DEMS, “analysts” & “pundits” prior to the election on our disadvantage w/ … the URBAN VOTE.

Huh. What say you, Matthews? We’d wait, but we suspect that you are still too busy sickly hailing Hurricane Sandy, and its fatal destruction, for aiding President Obama’s campaign.
