I only saw a little bit of Chris Matthews screaming at Reince Priebus and he looked like a 2 yr old having a temper tantrum. I am tired of the Democrats dragging out the race card when things are not going their way. There is no one trying to divide this country more than Obama. Today I went to see the movie 2016 and I think it would be a good movie for everyone to see regardless of political party.

HA HA HA, that was HILARIOUS!, and I never would have seen it without Irish Central, because I never watch Chris Matthews! I see this as all blatant hypocrisy - especially for the likes of Matthews claiming to "deeply resent politicians who attempt to divide the country along racial lines." He only means he resents non-Leftists, or are we to believe he resents Mr Obama, Obama of 'the Police acted stupidly'/'if I had a son he would look like Travon'/no prosecution for Black Panther intimidation at the polling booth/'they want to put y'all back in chains!'/'I ceased to advertise my Mother's race at the age of 12 or 13'/'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my Mother's race'/'I never emulate White men'/'typical White Woman'/'If it comes to a war I will stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction'/'my Grandmother was a typical White woman, and feared Black Men'/sat in Rev Wright's Black Liberation Theology Church for 20 years (but never realized there was a message of hatred toward white people...). Funny stuff, right? Riigghhtt?????

Chris Matthews is rude. He had no respect fo his guest.
Mr. Priebus watched him make a fool of himself. I would like to know how he treaks his own son who is a repulican.
Today he is running his mouth claiming that President Reagan called the young unemployed men "Bucks" referring to southern black men. I have lived in the south closed to 45 years, I have never heard that word being used in ref. to anyone.

Nice discussion , just yell louder over any dissent. So anybody know how Obama's brother is doing these days living in his hut? We all are our brothers keeper after all, except Obama, Who does George Obama ask for help these days? You would be surprised to know.

feeneycj, Mitt Romney, as the son of an immigrant, should have risen above the cheap shot.
Romney's birth certificate comment makes him appear to be snuggling up to the racist rhetoric of the GOP.
If Romney sincerely did not want Barack Obama's background (religious and ethnic) as part of the dialogue, he NEVER should have made the crack.

Matthews is a blow hard and blind supporter of Obama. The only race card being played is by the democrats who have made all sorts of inane and divisive comments regarding Race, gender, sexual orientation etc. Give me a break.

Skibberrrean - I am sure Priebus's mother is very proud of the boy she raised (the one who looks ike a deer caught in the headlights on the video lol), he has modeled himself after such great Republicans such as George W. Bush who ran this country into the ground and who WAS NOT EVEN INVITED TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION BECAUSE ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM IS POLITICALLY POISONED!!! Too, too FUNNY!!

everyone has a foreign sounding name except the local Native Americans. Is it OK for Native Americans to speak of their birth certificates? Or is the whole issue of being born anywhere taboo?

@Skibberrean "LOUD,ILL-INFORMED,RUDE" You must be jokin me... These adjectives perfectly describe the majority of the present day GOP and their cronies in media and on AM talk radio and of course their poster boy, Christie.
