Favorite Idiots: Dave Matthews. UPDATE: Greg Gutfeld agrees

The "Quote Them" section didn't quite cover this stupidity. So I've pulled out an old friend, the "Favorite Idiots" posts. Trust me. Dave Matthews deserves it. But don't take my word for it.

CNN:
President Carter said he thinks that a lot of the animosity directed toward President Obama is race related.

He also thinks he won a second term.

Dave Matthews:
Of course it is!

Racist Americans elected a black man as President only to protest against his race months later. Duh.

I found there's a fairly blatant racism in America that's already there, and I don't think I noticed it when I lived here as a kid.

White sheets are all the fashion rage.

But when I went back to South Africa, and then it's sort of thrust in your face, and then came back here -- I just see it everywhere.

Like Starbucks. Wait...are Starbucks also racist?

There's a good population of people in this country that are terrified of the president only because he's black, even if they don't say it.

They may not even know it. But do you seem them drinking chocolate milk? Or do they stick with plain? There ya go.

And I think a lot of them, behind closed doors, do say it.

Closed doors and windows, but only if they are double-pane and heavily insulated.

Maybe I'm paranoid about it,

That couldn't possibly be it.

but I don't think someone who disagreed as strongly as they do with Obama -- if it was Clinton -- would have stood up and screamed at him during his speech.

It couldn't be general passion against lying. Nope. It so racism.

I don't think so.

The punctuation is wrong. It's actually: "I don't think. So..."

The Fox Red Eye host, Greg Gutfeld, had a few interesting additional thoughts and facts to add about our friend Davie. Thought you might enjoy:

You may remember when, a few years back, the tour bus belonging to rabid environmentalist/human kazoo Dave Mathews dumped up to 100 gallons of human waste through the grates of a Chicago bridge, drenching folks on a boat below, as well as polluting the river. Well, the chirping goggle-eyed warbler is at it again – this time spewing a load of crap on America, in an interview with CNN.

When the network asked whether the singer agreed with Jimmy Carter, who said America is rife with racism, Matthews said, quote, “Of course it is! I found there’s a fairly blatant racism in America that’s already there, and I don’t think I noticed it when I lived here as a kid. …There’s a good population of people in this country that are terrified of the president only because he’s black, even if they don’t say it. And I think a lot of them, behind closed doors, do say it.”

Okay – let me get this straight. The entertainer sees “blatant” racism everywhere – yet describes it as unsaid – and behind closed doors!

Which means, it’s not blatant at all! It’s invisible, like oxygen – yet Matthews can see it!

Amazing.

Look, it’s got to be awesome to possess an ability to detect bigotry in people who show no signs of it. Matthews should hire himself out to local fairs, next to the chap who can guess your weight.

However, I may be giving Dave too much credit. He just doesn’t seem like a guy who thoughtfully came to this conclusion, all by himself. I mean, his tiresome screed sounds exactly like the same baloney you hear from other entertainers who pretend they’re keeping it real, when in fact their heads never rest on anything less than a Ritz Carlton pillow. It’s the guilt they feel about their own cushy existence that drives them to sidle up to the oppressed, even if there is no oppressor.

It’s enough to make me boycott Dave Mathews’ music. Which I admit is pointless, since I never listened his crap to begin with.

And if you disagree with me, then you’re probably a racist.
