Chris Matthews Calls Africa a 'Country'

[beingstill]

Why, yes, it's all the liberal elitists that think they have the lock on all-things-intelligent. All anyone need do is think critically when BOTH parties speak, BOTH ideologies speak (conservative/American/individ­ual liberties vs. liberal/progressive/communist/­socialist/redistribution of wealth, etc.). GUESS which one this nut-job supports!?!?

[theliberalparis]

The major difference between left wing and right wing pundits is that leftwingers don't go around offending people.

[betterworld1]

@theliberalparis hideous how leftists make out rightists to be sovenists when theyre more so and racist when theyre more so.

[Arkethot]

Chris Matthews just asked the dumbest question ever. Not to mention, as everyone knows, he said "Africa is a country of 57 or so countries, it's not a country"

Wow...

[agentbong138]

Chris Mathews is a plain and simple fraud. Bottom line. Anyone who watches "Hardball" obviously has no interest in the news.

[Arkethot]

Or just wants a good laugh :D

that she sounds very naive. I just could never get behind her. I sometimes say shit that I don't want to sound aggressive but it does (its hard to say stuff online you lose a lot of feeling). So if you support Palin, good for you nothing wrong with that. I still don't agree with you but that is fine. I apologize if my comment offended you and ekJohnDeer. Any how in short just wanted to clear up want I was trying to say. I don't want this to turn into something ugly

[technoway]

He made a slip of the tongue, and then stated, "Africa is not a country," and then he referred to it as a continent. Big deal. He clearly knows it's a continent. Watch the clip.

Palin, Obama, McCain, and Joe Biden have all said something that sounds stupid at one time or another. (Search, and you can find these cases. Almost everyone in the public eye has done this at one time or another. Don't confuse a mistake in speech with a lack of knowledge.

MSNBC Retracts False Palin Story; Others Duped

Network runs correction on air after reporting an adviser to John McCain had identified himself as the source of an embarrassing story about Sarah Palin, information stemming from a hoax.

[slippymississippi]

The information wasn't stemming from a hoax, the hoax was subsequent to the information. The original assertion, that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, still stands, albeit anonymously.

[19Rosie48]

Boy he must be really dumb, he called Africa a country. He must be stupid, he can't be very intelligent. Send this out on all the media outlets, Chris Matthews doesn't have basic elementary school knowledge. Hes too dumb to be a journalist, call MSNBC.

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

Too bad Africa has 53 Nations, not 57. I wonder if Matthews is studying from the same Geography Book which taught Obama that the United States has 57 States.

[bughead152]

Matthews is such an blowhard dumbass.

Is he unaware that Africa is not a country?

What a total bafoon. He is a puppet for Obama, and has said as much.

He likes to think he is 'a hard hitting national journalist', but he has no ratings and no credability. Typical Matthews = "Blah,blah,I love Obama, isn't Obama's speech the greatest,blah,blah, doesn't your leg tingle, my leg tingles, do you think Obama likes me, did he say anything about me?"

Put a sock in it Chrissy.

[KARATECHOPCHOP]

Clearly it's just a verbal slip, but you're right, Matthews is not a journalist anymore. He is full of so much hatred for anyone who disagrees with him that it makes it impossible to get a credible news story out of his mouth.

[cpluscoder]

Do you have proof she doesn't know this?

You all are haters. Liberal Haters plain and simple. And for Matthews to slip and you excuse it in this very context is a gift. Thank you.

[highbury10]

Well people will know he slipped. You know why? Chris covered the elections in South Africa.. He Spent years in Tanzania for peace corps... But Sarah doesnt

[j1607760]

This video is complete bullshit. If Matthews gets asked what magazines or newspapers he reads and can't answer it, THEN you can accuse him something.

To compare Chris Matthews, who actually knows that "Africa is a continent" as he said in the video, to a numbskull like Palin who can't even spell Africa is ludicrous.

Face it, Palin is an empty skirt who's only accomplishement is squirting out kids every few years.

[10splayer]

Amen. Anyone who defends Palin has their head screwed on backwards

[ekjohndeer]

Well I must have my head screwed on backwards, better than having your head up your ass like you. please start thinking for yourself.

[10splayer]

Head up my ass. really?! And u support Palin? I think its you who has their head up their ass. Show's how intelligent you are. The fact that I am agreeing has nothing to do with not thinking for myself.

You're a complete joke

[cpluscoder]

10splayer - 26 years old LOL as if you know WTF you're talking about.

[10splayer]

Just as a suggestion use the reply option if you have anything to say to me. Your lucky that I found this comment.

No hard feelings man. I mean its my view. I said in my previous post that I though anyone who supported Palin had their head screwed on backwards, and I admit it was a little overboard. I am a very open person and did not mean to, offend anyone. I just have a lot of trouble seeing how people find her "intelligent" and how people like her so much. I listen to her talk and find

[ekjohndeer]

The statement that you made was anybody that defended Palin has there head screwed on backwards that had nothing to do with agreeing, it was about knocking down anybody that disgreeing with it. Palin is a govenor with a high approval rating from the people that voted her in. surplus budget, mayor,busines owner if you look at it open minded and not through the bad media. Again stop and think for yourself.

[10splayer]

Bad media, thats her fault. She's the one who created for herself. I don't dislike anyone who likes Palin (though I did say you had your head screwed on backwards) don't take it personally.
