James Carville’s (Conservative) Wife Proclaims: ‘The Only Angry White Men I Know Are Liberals’

Opposites certainly do attract. Case-in-point: Democratic strategist James Carville and Republican consultant Mary Matalin. The two, despite sharing massively divergent political views, were married back in 1993. Matalin appeared on CNN Tuesday morning, where, considering her husband’s views, she spouted a controversial claim — that “the only angry white men” she knows “are liberals.”

The conversation, which was moderated by anchor Suzanne Malveaux, focused upon South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said this year that Republicans are “losing the demographics race.” Additionally, Graham said that the party isn’t bringing in enough “angry white guys” to sustain itself.

Matalin, clearly responding to this claim and Malveaux’s question (whether the GOP needs to be doing more to diversify) highlighted her views on race and ethnicity in detail.

“The only angry white men I know are liberals. Conservatives are for all Americans,” she explained.

Donna Brazile, a Democratic contributor to CNN, interrupted to note the irony underlying Matalin’s comments (Carville, her husband, is very obviously a liberal).

“You’re married to one,” Brazile joked, with Matalin agreeing and then continuing on with some statements about the Republican Party’s handling of race issues.

“They’re not for hyphenating Americans, we’re not dividing Americans,” she continued. “We think women and Hispanics and African-Americans have suffered particularly under this non-recovery — the worst recovery in history and that women and Hispanics and African-Americans and all Americans want an opportunity to have some upward mobility.”

      And 99% of the black community voting for Obama……….that’s NOT racism right Bolsheviks?

      I watched the first election results in some small town in New Hampshire with a population of 10 where it was 50/50 result. Now if that town was 10 blacks, the result would be 10 to 0 for Obama. That’s not racism though…..

    Liberals are the most miserable people I have ever met. Conservatives are happy and optimistic. Even with their little ‘o’ in office the last four years it hasn’t done anything to improve their spirits, they are still bitter, miserable and spiteful. Sad

    Good comeback, Mary. We have never had such anger and racism as we have had in the last four years. I don’t know what their problem is but I would like to go back to freedom and justice for all. Hatred will bring you nothing but sickness and guilt just wait and see. ..love not hate…..truth not lies,,,,

    I think the “inside the beltway” politics is a sham,
    and we are the suckers.
    Otherwise, could these two be happily married?
    They don’t even believe what they say. Why should I?
    Republican? Democrat? No difference other than the rhetoric.

    She must have had a grudge against her own azz for marrying that liberal trash.

    A dog would have been a better choice as it would not be stupid, smell bad nor would it have bad manners like liberals.

    Perhaps we should rethink abortion as that would end the liberal mental disease in a couple of generations.

      They…the liberal Left are also notorious for making false accusations that they never can back up. If Rush was on the Left a liberal would consider him merely passionate about the issues…kinda like that other real angry Lefty named Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews who see racism everywhere.

      Yes, yes anyone that believes in the Constitution, the rule of law, individual rights and the good old American Way, is angry… but those that believe in rioting, pooping on police cars, government backed theft, pitting groups of Americans against each other and the philosophies of Marx, Stalin, Mao and Hitler are peaceful, loving and tolerant…

      @ PORK Don’t make the mistake of thinking Righteous Indignation is anger. You Liberals make a grave mistake by thinking we are Passive, or perhaps weak. YOU MISTAKE GENTILITY FOR WEAKNESS.
      We know who you guys are. Many of you don’t believe in GOD. Many of you are stuck in the idealistic 19 year old mind-set that there should be no pain in life, no hurt feelings but you forget that no growth comes from this and no leaders, no accomplishments. YOU have not matured through this childish phase to the responsible phase and you end up thinking that everyone OWES YOU a living. YOU believe in the Communistic philosophy of collective “salvation” which is totally wrong in every way, from God’s teachings to practical living. COMMUNISM FAILED. FREEDOM HAS NOT.
      The very word “NO” to you liberal guys is offensive to you. GROW UP.
