True, but Romney should have been able to sidestep Crowley and knock that one out of the park. He should have been able to point out the huge inconsistency between Obama pretending to have correctly identified the Benghazi attack as terrorism on the day after (when all he did was make vague remarks about "acts of terror" and did not specifically tie this to Benghazi) versus his Administration's concerted team effort to present the attack as spawned from a video protest gone wrong in the many days that followed. To get to the point he might have said, "On Day 2-- you said 'act of terror', but on Days 3-14-- you and your team have said the attack in Benghazi came out of a "video protest". You must forgive us Sir for concluding that your repeated references to the video protest must be what you really thought happened in Benghazi, or at least, what you wanted Americans to think happened there."

The only thing utterly "irrelevant" here is this guy and his comments. But as someone said, in their (the Administration's) view it really is irrelevant where exactly the President was during the hours long Benghazi attack; that talking points were carefully edited to remove all references to terrorism, and know-nothing Susan Rice sent out to proclaim them; and whether or not it is illegal for the IRS to target specific groups. All of this is "irrelevant" when you have a President/Administration who thinks whatever it does is right, since they are the ones doing it.

Uninformed people = Uninformed voters= Obama as President for 2 terms

To answer the headline question, Matthews won't stop with racist accusations because this thinking is deeply embedded in his liberal worldview. He needs to be called on it, but it's unlikely to change his thinking. As far as racism-- yes it exists in this world- among people of all races. But we just elected a black President-- again-- who presides over a terrible economic recovery and has misled the American people on what happened in Libya. If this country was as racist as these folks claim, how did Obama get elected twice?
