“I think they hate Obama. They want him out of the White House more than they want to destroy Al Qaeda. Their No. 1 enemy in the world right now, on the right, is their hatred, hatred for Obama. And we can go into that about the white working class in the South and looking at these numbers we’re getting the last couple days about racial hatred in many cases … this isn’t about being a better president, they want to get rid of this president.” ---

[24% of Republicans](http://www.livescience.com/8160-quarter-republicans-obama-anti-christ.html) think that Obama is the Antichrist. This is not a group fond of reasoned discourse. This is indeed a group that sees Obama as their #1 enemy, and yes, their only goal is to get this enemy out of the Whitehouse. This has been [the number one goal](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FirI3_G_0JM)of the party since day one. Not improving the economy. Not making the country more secure. Not improving healthcare. Nothing but getting rid of Obama. This is not hidden. It is overt. ---

So if he’s not saying vote for obama or else you are racist, why does he thinking mentioning the word chicago is racist? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/BW7nPFR0Oq8/hqdefault.jpg "Chris Matthews: Chicago") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW7nPFR0Oq8) ---

Well, black voters typically split 50/50 Republican/Democrat, so the plus 90% support for Obama is a shock. Oh, wait … ---

He was referring to the race baiting and code language used by the anti-Obamites in their effort to sidestream Obama. ---

Why not just criminalize not swooning over or orgasming over Obama like liberals like Matthews do? ---
