I watched this interview, so I know this story is accurate.
It is a great point...here is part of the recap:
Late on Friday night's edition of MSNBC's "Hardball," former Bush administration aide Ron Christie, author of "Black in the White House," pressed host Chris Matthews on the suggestion that if Republican Sen. George Allen's alleged racial slurs in the 1970s are a character flaw, what about the Democrats re-electing Senator Robert Byrd, a former Klansman, this fall? Matthews protested in a lecturing tone that "everyone knows about it....It's been raised a thousand times on his record." After claiming he was not defending Byrd, he told Christie: "The guy's 90 years old. Give him a break."
It is a great point. Matthews was getting all bent out of shape about a possible use of the N word, yet no one seems to ever care one of the oldest members of the Democratic party used to run the KKK...
The hypocrisy and bias on TV is laughable, especially this story.
There are only so many cooks left to watch all these different biased stations...that is why FOX is far and away number one

Do you mean, there are only so many 'kooks' left, or only so many chefs? Just checking. But it does seem to be a bit, I don't know, hypocritical maybe, to ever harp on what a Republican might have said in his youth, when you've got a guy who was a leader of a major hate-group like the KKK.
