“MSNBC, Thy Name Is Racist”

September 12, 2009 - 9:34 pm - by Ed Driscoll

Bill Maher recommended a “New Rule” today: ” Democrats must get in touch with their inner a**hole.”

But MSNBC certainly has the jump on him:YCR20090912

  • Pathetic Bill O’Reilly wannabe Keith Olbermann, calling Fox News viewers ‘tin foil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racists.’
  • David Shuster, dually pathetic Olbermann wannabe, profiling the Republican Party as ‘all white males with short haircuts.’ He then goes on to call the party angry and unhinged, with ‘no women, no minorities.’
  • A recent segment in which Shuster, Barney Rubble to Olbermann’s Fred Flintstone, suggests Joe Wilson’s comments may contain a ‘racist or bigoted element.’ Tamron Hall was appalled ‘to have that southern white male shout down the first black president’. And of course, the Reverend Jesse Jackson chiming in with ‘…the big C-word, conservative… for some it means a code word for race.’
  • Ed Schultz referring to Senator James Inhofe’s criticisms of the President as potentially opening up ‘the floodgates to these crazies that show up at town hall meetings.’ He also insulted those who believe the President is leading this country in the wrong direction as ‘lesser challenged news consumers.’ Shuster, Donkey to Olbermann’s Shrek, echoes the ‘crazies’ sentiment, later stating that Inhofe’s constituents likely contain ‘lunatics’ who feel it is their ‘responsibility to take out the president’.

Pretty inflammatory list, eh?  But wait my friends, there’s more…newsweek_racist_baby9-14-09_cover

  • Have reservations about former Obama appointed green-jobs czar Van Jones and committed 9/11 truther, and you are most definitely a racist according to Keith Olbermann.
  • Mike Barnicle and Chuck Todd discussing if race is the real reason for all opposition to President Obama. Todd then bumbles and stumbles his way to explain that the White House certainly doesn’t want to cry race, but they are more than willing to point to polls that say detractors are southern racists.
  • Tingly legged Chris Matthews saying that opposition to the President is based on ‘who he is, where he comes from, his background‘.

According to Newsweek, it’s likely childhood issues that are haunting the MSNBC staffers.

Update: Not to mention Maureen Dowd.

  1. Tingly legged Chris Matthews saying that opposition to the President is based on ‘who he is, where he comes from, his background‘.

    Matthews is completely right, I have huge problems with people from Hawaii. They eat that poi stuff and do the hula. Nothing sets off the grassroots type like a grass skirt.

  2. Right On, Ruby S. And did you know he’s a White Sox and Bulls fan despite a childhood/young adulthood in Hawaii, SoCal, NYC, and Boston? Dude, you just don’t pick up a favorite team in your late 20′s. That is just below respect. Nothing screams “opportunist politician” more than not picking a team as a young man and staying with them through hard times.

    I will admit those grass skirt things look okay to this middleamerican, though. It may not be very Kansas, but we can make room for that. We grassroots types are very openminded about that.

    “Matthews is completely right, I have huge problems with people from Hawaii. They eat that poi stuff and do the hula. Nothing sets off the grassroots type like a grass skirt.”

    Yeah, that “thrash ukelele” music just drives me up the wall. And I swear, if I hear Don Ho warbling “Tiny Bubbles” one more time, I swear I’m gonna go mental. (LOL!!!!)

    I just have problems with people from Chicago. They royally screw up everything they touch.

    Obama’s brother sits in poverty in a small village in Kenya. That is Obama’s background. If he cannot take care of his brother, why should he care about you??

    I think this is great. If everyone is now racist it will lose its sting. You see, I have been a racist my whole life. I did not choose to be but whenever in my travels I proudly say I was born in Alabama, I become a racist. I have never been in the KKK or anything like it, but it does not matter, I am from the south.

    I’m a big racist and I’m proud.
    I used to feel alone in a crowd.
    Now if you look around these days.
    There seems to be a racist craze!

    Oh, I’m a racist.
    He’s a racist.
    She’s a racist.
    We’re a racist.
    Wouldn’t you like to be a racist too?

    Be a racist, think like a racist…

    When the left comes after you with their default mode of “kill the messenger” for speaking the truth, it is mere evidence that they are in fear of their loss of control.

    Time to start wearing those “Called Racist, and proud of it!” “T” shirts.Double down and spit in the face of the PC evil.
