George Will Calls Donna Brazile 'Racist' for Saying the Word 'Chicago'

As NewsBusters reported Thursday, MSNBC's Chris Matthews believes that when Republicans link President Obama to Chicago, they're being racist.

With this in mind, George Will got Donna Brazile on ABC's This Week Sunday to say the word "Chicago," and then marvelously called her a racist for doing so (video follows with transcript and commentary):

GEORGE WILL: A subtext of all this is that we're all racists. Can I ask you a question? What is the largest city in Illinois?

DONNA BRAZILE: Chicago.

WILL: You're a racist. The guys over at MSNBC have said that when Republicans talk about Chicago, it's a subtext for racism.

Delicious.
