MSNBC Wears Out Its Race Card During Primary Coverage

Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton filled their Florida primary coverage with endless attacks on Newt Gingrich for his "racist" concession speech, attacking him for mentioning President Obama’s singing.

“Newt Gingrich brought back the 'food stamps President' thing — and then tonight, he went to ‘President Obama ought to stop singing, ought to stop being the Entertainer-in-Chief.’ Sort of caricaturing him in a way that calls out to minstrelsy!â€

grimreaperxx   February 1st, 2012 - 12:33 am

Regardless of whether they go to the well one too many times, they will play it off the top, the bottom and the middle of the deck.

Killing Osama Bin Laden, using Axlerod as an attack dog, pulling divorce records, and playing the race card, that is all they have.

There is no convincing argument to vote for Obama, all he will have is attack ads paid for by Union Pacs to convince voters not to vote for the Republican candidate.

They really need to shut up. No it is not racism. Just because people say something about someone else is not because of the color of the other persons skins. How can we progress as a country if the so called progressives are stuck in the past?

EddieGin   February 1st, 2012 - 3:31 am

ALL Home-moes*XX-type as well as RICK Madcow hate white-males, especially if they are "Christians". A lot of the "Home-moes" are abused as kids, I just wish they would get some help with their destructive abnormalities. There is help available for you sexual diversions. Por favor get it.

About 3 years ago the communists in America discussed at one of their meetings (I have seen the tape) that in order form the president and his supporters to suppress any criticisim, continue to call anyone and everyone racist. I have a request.
Dear communists: At your next meeting, please come up with some other plan. The racist argument is really old now and no longer working very well.

If Obama was a good president, some might say racist things about him to discredit him.

In Obamas case, this isn't remotely so. He is so pathetic a leader that there is plenty to slam him on. Only an idiot would use anything racial against him.

Newt is no idiot.He is about as politically savvy as they come.

They fervently believe that if they accuse their political opponents of being racists, they themselves could never be guilty of racism themselves. But by constantly bringing up the subject of race every opportunity they can, they're the racists, whether they accept the title or not.

MSNBC? What? who?……………….how many viewers? You mean we really waste time commenting on this group of losers? They get more attention from us castigating them than they actually get from the losers who actually take time to tune them in. Maybe it is time to do what we did to the idiotic kids we couldn't stomach when we were growing up……………ignor them.

I'm simply flabbergasted at the mental acrobatics they have to do to arrive at this conclusion. Do dumb people hear this and figure it must be true because it sounds smart? Or do they figure it must be true because it plays on their deepest fears? "Go out on a limb" ??? You're standing on thin air, Rachel. It shows your own prejudices, certainly.

You're correct, of course, that racism know no political affiliation but slavery still exists today in the various forms of dependency doled out by those who continue profit from it, both monetarily and politically.

notfooledbydems   February 1st, 2012 - 6:36 am

Wow – you must have learned history in the public schools. Quick – name the party of the President who ended slavery? That's right – Republican. In fact, he was the first Republican President. OK – here's your second chance: name the party of the U.S. Senator who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for over 14 hours? Ding! Time's up – Democrat. Good old Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd, who by the way was aided in that filibuster by none other than J. William Fulbright, mentor of William Jefferson Clinton. Byrd also opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which gave voting rights to blacks. And of course, who could ever forget his classic "white ni$$ers" comment on 60 minutes.

If you have facts to dispute what I've just said, bring it if you have hate, keep it to yourself. I think I know which way you'll go.

Hasn't our governent invaded countless innocent countries in the name of IMPERIALISM??? Your trust in people that are more powerful then you to "do the right thing" is flabbergasting.

"Seems like the conservatives have been exposed for their racsim, and this forum is doing everything to cover it up."

The only thing exposed is MSNBC is in the tank for Barack Obama and will call anyone and anything racist to protect their most valuable asset.

"That is why labor unions are so important for the survival of our country. Labor unions are the answer. "

Labor unions destroy free enterprise.

broadgauge   February 1st, 2012 - 7:54 am

funny how CALLING OUT racism is Republicans' definition OF racism. Sorry GOP, you can try this tactic all you want but real Americans (not the bigots in the GOP) understand racism when they see and hear it from you scumbags.

MSNBC wears out their race card, now that's an understatement. Blah, blah, liberals are so predictable. Constantly playing the race card because they can’t defend Obama’s failed record. Newt said to Obama stop singing and deal with the important issues…well, let’s look at his record and we will see how he is failing miserably… and then Newt calls Obama the food stamp president, there again, look at his record to see how food stamps recipients have increased, not decreased. But, the liberals will attempt to spin the real focus of Newt’s message that Obama has a failed record into Newt is race baiting. The libs always twist the real meaning of conservative’s messages because they just refuse to deal in facts.

canadianlady2   February 1st, 2012 - 8:40 am

What people need to understand here is that this is the media's role in the war against American freedom. They understand that it only takes a handful of people to create the illusion of a fomenting rage across America. This facilitates their agenda to bring about the "Summer of Rage," just before the next election. It doesn't take a majority of viewers, it takes just a handful; so this kind of rhetoric from MSNBC is extremely dangerous. If enough Americans cared, this crap would not be permitted on the airways.

islegend   February 1st, 2012 - 8:42 am

Liberty Chick: Working for Media Matters, or the White House? Your gambit has been exposed. Through PAC's, Unions, and directly leftists have been hired to comment on conservative leaning sites, blogs, and media. It is so obvious, but don't expect the dumbed down dependent underclass Democrat polices have created over the last 50 years to get it. Al Sharpton simply lied on the air: Food stamp recipients are up 46% under Obama, whose administration increased efforts to sign people into the program. Source: White House web site, they were bragging about it. This rise is a record – stemming from nearly 6 million employable people, and their dependents who have been hidden deliberately from government statistics, but having to get help somehow. US inner cities have been democrat policy victims for decades, and it shows with 20% unemployment, lower income, half the kids failing to graduate from high school, violent crime, drug abuse, you name it. Newt is correct with his facts pointing this out, Democrat zealots, called "journalists" at MSNBC, are screaming racism to cover this up…

WatchTheGoons   February 1st, 2012 - 8:48 am

YOU LIBERALS are all such awful people. Really you are. You have and always have made RACISM your method to your madness. Any attempt by anyone to address any problems in any of the black communities that are FACT, and you bait your followers who are so easliy led, against those addressing these issues and call it RACISM…You have NO morals what so ever. YOU and your policies have destroyed the world. And YES, she is destroyed.

WhatTheHuh   February 1st, 2012 - 8:48 am

Ha! As soon as I heard Gingrich make reference to Obama singing, I knew he was going to be attacked for it. Give me a break.

canadianlady2   February 1st, 2012 - 9:05 am

Conservatives know they aren't r a c i s t s, so that comment rings hollow. I'm Canadian, a country that "used" to be more socialist than the USA. Obama changed all that. Our schools taught us that it was the Republican Party that ended s la v e r y and passed ALL the legislation that advances black Americans, while the Democrat party opposed it. Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat president who re-segregated the US government and the US military, is routinely extolled by Democrats as a wonderful president. In fact he was a dirtbag who not only set up the Fed in the US, he set b l a c k Americans back a hundred years. The laws that came out of the 60's civil rights movement, ALL came from the Republicans and were ALL voted against by Democrats. These are just the FACTS, and they are well documented. Throughout American history, it has ALWAYS been republicans who have advanced the cause of equality for b l a c k s and all Americans. Perhaps you should spend more time at the library and less time trolling conservatives sites like these. You are no lover of liberty and your blatant denial of the truth makes you more like an ostrich than a chick, not to mention a convenient idiot for corrupt, r a c e baiting politicians, like Barack Obama. By the way, d u m b a s s, big unions are actually on their way out, or haven't you been paying attention to the news?
