Chris Matthews TKOs Reince Priebus

Here

Thing is, I thing there's a good chance that the birthery comment really was just one of Romney's famed failed attempts at humor. But Matthews is right about the bigger point: the GOP is running a dirty campaign that gives the nudge-nudge-wink-wink to birthers, racists, xenophobes, christianists and other wackos. Their repeated lies about welfare reform are revolting and indefensible, and at least consistent with dog whistles to racists. And Priebus himself pushes the Obama-as-foreigner line--he's "european" in case you're wondering...

Good on you Chris Matthews.
