Where were Chris Matthews and Jimmy Carter in the last decade?

I was watching Hardball this morning and I couldn't avoid a big laugh with some of the stuff said:

This sense, that you can go to a rally and hold up a sign talking about the man in the White House being some kind of animal, that he‘s a Hitler guy, the fact that somebody would know they can get away with carrying a sign like that without being shunned, pushed aside, even beaten up, tells me there‘s a license out there.Why can you—the fact that somebody would hold up a sign tells me that they have a sense of what‘s allowable now.

When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States of America as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, or when they wave signs in the air that say we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kind of things are beyond the bounds of the way presidents have ever been accepted even with people who disagree. And I think people that are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be African-American. It‘s a racist at ude.

If there's something I can't stand on politics is this kind of unashamed and blatant hypocrisy.
