What's So Funny, Chris?

Chris Matthews, host of "Hardball" on MSNBC (it really should be called Nerfball), tonight found the idea of an African-American libertarian laughable. Now why in the world would he want to insult African-Americans that way?

Chris Matthews obviously could not see me when he made that statement!

Sheldon, what did Matthews actually say? Do you have a link to a video clip of it?

He made the comment in reference to the Senate runoff in Georgia, where the libertarian candidate had enough votes to keep the major candidates from getting over 50 percent. In wondering how the libertarian votes would go, Matthews made the remark. The Democratic candidate, by the way, is not black, so I'm not sure why Matthews thought to say that.
