Matthews Uses 150th Anniv. of Lincoln Assassination to Slam GOP as Racist

MSNBC's Chris Matthews Uses 150th Anniversary of Lincoln Assassination As Occasion to Slam GOP As Racist (NewsBusters)

There was no way that Chris Matthews was going to let the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination  pass without using it as an occasion to slander the GOP as a "Jim Crow"-loving racist party unworthy of the label Party of Lincoln.

Both in a roundtable discussion segment and in a "Let Me Finish" commentary, Matthews groused about voter ID laws passed in 36 states, most of which were done under the aegis of Republican legislatures.
