Chris Matthews Says Romney Sought to Help ‘White Men of Property’

Chris Matthews Outrageously Links Unhappy Conservatives to Hitler (MRC)

Chris Matthews on Monday disgustingly connected conservatives unhappy with the 2012 election to Hitler and the 1936 Olympics. After Huffington Post journalist Howard Fineman mocked the GOP for supposedly considering the African American and Hispanic vote to be "extraterrestrial," Matthews spewed, "The last guy to refer to the black auxiliary was Hitler."

Matthews, known for his verbal gaffes, prefaced the Nazi comparison by rambling, "...And these references are always dangerous, but I'll take it anyway." Trying to explain his smear, the Hardball anchor expanded, "During the '36 Olympics, we had Jesse Owens and a couple other guys winning the Olympics and they [the Nazis] were saying, "Well, they had their auxiliary out there."

As if this made his comments all go away, Matthews added that his comments have "no bearing on the Republican Party."

Earlier in the segment, the host made this nonsensical complaint, "But the notion that the free men of this country are white men of property and that is really what Romney ran on, white men of property. He didn't say it intellectually. I don't think he put it in any words."
