MSNBC Analyst Compares AZ Governor To Segregation-Era Racist Screaming At Black Kids

MSNBC analyst Melissa Harris-Perry appeared on "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell Thursday night to discuss the confrontation between AZ Governor Jan Brewer and President Barack Obama that occurred Wednesday afternoon.

Not surprisingly, Harris-Perry is sure that racial animus motivated the Governor's behavior.

The confrontat­ion with Gov. Brewer certainly would fit with what was reported in Ron Suskind's book that Obama allowed the White House to be a hostile work environmen­t for women.

Former White House communicat­ions director Anita Dunn was quoted as saying:

“This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,­” “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requiremen­ts for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”

If he were a Republican how long do you think it would take the media to put this together?

Rascist ?? Are you kidding…

Why doesn't it remind you of a strong mother telling an abusive husband that she will not let him abuse his children ??

Two equals who both share a responsibility and duty to protect, but one (Obama) who shirks his duty and abuses his authority

I think that the Democrat Party and other assorted leftist morons need to call the 'Member Services Department'…

It appears that…

They have MAXED OUT their RACE CARD…!

This race-baiter must have a basement full of old photos and films from 50 years ago that she looks at every night. Sorry, not sure what you're talking about you repugnant leftist commentator.

GREENPARROT   January 27th, 2012 - 12:49 am

That woman's idea of a good book is one with a lot of pictures…she's far to young and way to partisan to have any historical perspective that is pertinent to the topic.

Just another WOMAN that is able to put this tool in his place! Who does he think he is?? He, as President, has NO RIGHT to admonish her for ANYTHING! Especially in public! If there was something in her book that he didn't like, maybe a phone call would have been the MATURE thing to do!??? HE IS NOT THE KING!!!

OldmanRick   January 27th, 2012 - 1:45 am

Good grief. everything from the left is racist. Poor, divisive, inept, narcissistic toddler. He is so abused by the adults. After what the brat and Holder did to AZ with the court case on SB 1070 and Gun Runner, it's a wonder Gov Brewer didn't deck him. Apparently, she was suppose to stand there and accept a dressing down for something she said about him in her book," Breakfast with Scorpions"? Glad she gave the toddler tit for tat. It's way passed time someone told the toddler where to get off. Good for her. She and the entire state have put up with nothing but crap from this administration. Kudos to Gov Jan Brewer. BTW, BO did the same to Governor Bobby Jindal. Could it be the thin skinned socialist doesn't like conservatives?

More like a strong mother telling her disrespectful teenager that he doesn't know everything.

And everything is going in one ear, out the other. DISRESPECT INTENDED!

Imjingo   January 27th, 2012 - 2:59 am

These tiring racism accusations remind me of the story The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf.

syvyn11   January 27th, 2012 - 3:00 am

Remember, we can not disrespect our king.

Let's take the way back machine to the BP Gulf Oil Spill. Gov. Jindal wrote pretty much a form letter to Sec. Vilsak about getting food stamps for those workers in the gulf. Obama rides in on his white stallion, then basically does the same thing to Gov. Jindal that he did to Gov. Brewer. He gave Jindal a lecture.

In fact, Obama was so mad, whe a Federal Court told him to open back the Gulf for drilling, The ONE said "No more leases". And this genius wonders why we have a unemployment problem.

Why, cause this man has such a huge ego, he can't stand anyone who dares criticizes him. And if they do, they must be punished.

nomalmohere   January 27th, 2012 - 3:08 am

I didn't know Brewer is a democrat!

Recently dead democrat dean of the Senate, Robert Byrd, an ex-Grand Wizard of the KKK in Virginia, said:

“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro at my side…rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

Fact: Most democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawing discrimination based on race, gender, etc. Republicans pushed it through.

George Wallace was a democrat. Bull Conner was a democrat.

claspur   January 27th, 2012 - 3:13 am

Soetoro approached Governor Brewer off guard with inappropriate speech, at the wrong time.<period.net

But that part won't be told. Just like the ads on the tele are saying he's at or below 50% on foreign energy resources (oil). More lies coming from the left. Majority of the people seeing this crock are too stupid to fact check it to see where it's coming from or actually where it's going.

Obviously "boy", you don't pay enough attention. Your typical knee jerk(off) reaction to something that wasn't really there. As usual you and your leftist wannabe journalists add the race card to anything having to do with the Toddler. It's old and worn out.

Ms Harris Perry is a Tulane professor, and has historical perspective, she isn't much younger than the young Blacks who sat in the lunchroom counter. maybe ten yrs. younger

hillery   January 27th, 2012 - 4:31 am

I want to see the uncut video of the event. We have a camera view from the side showing the President walking down the stairs onto the tarmac where he is greeted by a smiling Governor who extends her hand for a handshake.

Then the video inexplicably shifts to a camera angle from the front where a car blocks what is happening. Why? What is not being shown?

Then we get a still-shot which shows the Governors finger in Obama's face. If they have the still-shot, they have the entire video from the side.

We are being "played" by the press. Demand the entire video be shown.

There were interviews with Hazel (the woman screaming AFTER that photo.) So there is evidence she wasn't a fire breathing racist like many others in Little Rock.
EVERYONE in America is raised with a certain level of racial predjudice, and a certain level of sexism, and a certain level of homobigotry. It's like OXYGEN we all breathed it, The difference is Progressives work to RID themselves of that krap, and not ACT on that krap. Republicans NURTURE it, and play on the HATE and FEAR and IGNORANCE…like Pat Buchanan, and David Duke, and Tony Perkins.

We could have a dozen black presidents in a row and this sort of crap would continue. Anyone who saw the video knows he came leaping down the stairs and verbally assaulted HER. She responds so SHE is wrong and racist? The leftist media is full of imbeciles who lack the intelligence to do anything other than spout such nonsense.

There is NO equivalent on the Republican/conservative side to match it. The abolitionists were conservatives, the people in congress that continually voted in favor of civil rights were Republicans, not Democrats. There's a myth out there that Democrats are the party for minorities and the poor. And that's what it is, a myth.

The left has no legitimate defense for the way Obama has conducted himself and the affairs of government. Consequently, they now routinely play the race card whenever anyone disagrees with him. Its a false card of course….but as long as the main stream press plays along with it they will use it. And since the MSM is predominantly on Obamas team….they will never challenge the left to substantiate their baseless allegations.

Duckwalker   January 27th, 2012 - 6:50 am

What about when Obama wags his finger at the American people, and says, Let me be clear….

The fact is, Obama can dish it out, but he can’t take any criticism himself. This is so very telling just how thin skinned he is, He gets so upset over a massage in a book that the first think he does when he gets off a plane is to complain about it? Are you kidding! What a disgrace.

Pappaslack   January 27th, 2012 - 6:54 am
