MSNBC’s Matthews and Michelle Bernard Attack Huckabee as an Anti-Semitic ‘Hick’

MATTHEWS: "You know what, guys? I am not the anti-Semitic police, but I want to try this by all three of you. If this guy was Joe McGee or Jimmy Brown or any kind of regular name that wasn’t obviously or seemed to be Jewish, would we be hearing these names thrown around? The other day, I heard Saul Alinksy thrown in with Lenin and Marx! Saul Alinksy included. What is this about these names that the Republicans, especially the hicks love to use and throw around? It’s a tricky question, but I’m sorry, I’ve heard it from too many friends of mine who are Jewish who are sick of this. Why Sidney Blumenthal has become this name of evil? Your thoughts, Michelle?"

BERNARD: "— I don’t really want to say what I actually, actually believe, but, I mean, Sidney Blumenthal, we keep hearing it over and over and over again. And when you think about the farthest, most right, most extreme people that make up the base of the Republican Party, they are anti-women, anti-black, anti-many things, including and on some occasions, anti-Jewish, and maybe that is why Mike Huckabee is saying what he’s saying. He needs something to grab attention, to get people to talk about him. Because evangelicals have spoken, right now their man is Ben Carson, not Mike Huckabee."
