"Regular People?"

While discussing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) during MSNBC’s Hardball last night, host Chris Matthews asked Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO): “Let me ask you about how he — how’s he connect with regular people? Does he? Or does he only appeal to people who come from the African-American community and from the people who have college or advanced degrees?”

So now African-Americans aren't the same as "regular people?" Gee, I wonder what it is that makes them irregular?

Matthews clearly hates women, especially Hillary Clinton. A reasonable observer can now conclude that he's also a racist. And that's ON TOP of his uninformed, illogical, biased and always incorrect "analysis" of politics and current events.

Honestly, how does Matthews manage to keep from being fired?
