Why? Why would you take Barack Obama at his word when he’s lied about everything – and we mean everything – since the day he took office. Even before.
Republican Senate Minority Leader MitchMcConnell appeared on Sunday’s Meet the Press. MSNBC’s increasingly-wacky Chris Matthews accused McConnell of using super secret code language to send messages to birthers when he said, “The President says he’s a Christian. I take him at his word.”
The words “take him at his word” sent Matthews over the edge on Monday’s Hardball. He apparently got his hands on a birther decoder ring, because he informed his viewers that the words “take him at his word,” when translated, provide a “Pitch perfect dog whistle to the haters.”
And Matthews was just getting warmed up. He then came up with a grand conspiracy McConnell, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Rev. Franklin Graham to scare the bejeebers out of voters with a “message of fear.” They’re the ringleaders of “The right wing’s attempt to de-Americanize the President.”
Is it just us or is the left starting to sound increasingly desperate?
