Chris Matthews in 2007: Obama was "born in Indonesia"; "his Islamic background" - 9/02/2009

Apparently Chris Matthews is now a "Birther", because on the December 19, 2007 edition of Hardball he said that Barack Obama was "born in Indonesia" and referenced "his Islamic background".

... only seen Rachel Maddow - now of MSNBC - two times. The first time was for a lightweight supposed "take down" of Pat Buchanan which was just a use of smears and innuendo rather than any sort of attempt to counter his points. The second (and hopefully last) was from yesterday's broadcast of her TV show in which she discusses the Employee Free Choice Act, aka card check. As a solo ho...
