NBC’s Bashir Outraged At Finger-Wag, Ignores Colleague’s Same Gesture At Bush

MSNBC's Martin Bashir showed disgust that Republicans will do "anything, anything to this President." After making a list of Republican sins he finished his diatribe with "they even wag their fingers in his face!" Bashir, however, failed to note that fellow NBC broadcaster, Brian Williams, did the same gesture to President Bush in 2006.

Martin Bashir should be deported, he admitted on Bill Maher Friday night he is not an American citzen. He comes to this country and spews anti-American slurs.

SquidVicious   January 31st, 2012 - 12:39 am

Freedom of Speech is your only friend in the United States of America, Martin. Try spewing your hatred back home.

antilibterds   January 31st, 2012 - 12:50 am

Hilarious. Martin is once again indignant for the 1000th time but this time it is at tiny Jan for pulling a Brian Williams on manchild Barack. Oh poor baby. Try changing his diaper again Martin maybe he will stop crying then.

snailmailtrucker   January 31st, 2012 - 1:01 am

Hey Bashir

Stick it in your ear !

OldmanRick   January 31st, 2012 - 1:14 am

If memory serves, President Bush suffered the same finger pointing by the very Brian Williams. I'm impressed that governor Jan Brewer finally locked the thin-skinned toddler's heels. The brat has been given a pass by the LSM for over three years. Time to judge him for his ineptitude and divisiveness. Rather than bringing the country together, he is driving it apart with his actions and remarks.

SirWinston   January 31st, 2012 - 2:00 am

This whole finger pointing debate is downright sophomoric, if not moronic. Gesturing with one's index finger while making a point during a conversation is nothing more than a harmless attempt to accentuate what one is saying at a given moment.

What the thin-skinned in this dustup would have us believe is that Gov. Brewer wagged her finger in Obama's face or thumped his chest in a threatening manner, which the Governor obviously did not do. Indeed, for Bashir and his ilk to suggest Brewer was demonstrating disrespect to the President I would counter that Obama demonstrated poor judgment in confronting Brewer about his treatment in the Governor's book, given the setting for Obama's comments. Indeed, if Obama wanted to broach the subject there are numerous ways, times and places that certainly would have been more appropriate.

Frankly, however, once Obama crossed the line and confronted Brewer I believe she was perfectly within her rights to rebut the President's comments. And when politicians have a discussion, how often have any of us witnessed such a discussion without the participants engaging in ample hand gesturing?

MSNBC and Martin Biased? what Bias? PaLease!

syvyn11   January 31st, 2012 - 2:38 am

I'm shocked that Basir didn't play the race card. Everyone else at MSLSD has.

rckmom   January 31st, 2012 - 2:41 am

I'm pretty sure his was another photo that Obama had planned…like with Gov. Jindel (R), it was 'Let's give a scolding to a conservative day'….I don't think he was (mistakenly) ready for the feisty Gov. Brewer!

President or not, when you get off a plane with a fight on your mind, you should be ready for the punch you're going to get back!!!

sgtjohnnyb   January 31st, 2012 - 2:45 am

Why is this man STILL in this country? He is one of the reasons, so many laugh at MSNBC,even the libtards don't watch.

GREENPARROT   January 31st, 2012 - 2:48 am

The camera angle of the photograph is perhaps deceiving, I think I see a woman stressing a point on a noisy tarmac, but since Gov. Brewer is a Republican I guess Bashir is blind to that reality. I recommend eating "SCORPIONS FOR BREAKFAST", it should improve his eyesight.

IronTigersVet   January 31st, 2012 - 3:33 am

Hey Bashir… I have a finger wag for you… but it isn't my index finger!

Double standard much?

Obamaisatraitor   January 31st, 2012 - 4:42 am

I can hardly wait for January 1, 2012, as this year will be filled with every attention starved leftist and left wing media wonk screaming and threatening and whining. The incumbent Democrats lie to our faces about their successes since controlling Congress for 5 years while they have crushed this country's values, economy, rights and think they have us fooled with this joke called the Stock Act ! Surely, 100 years of progressives is enough. Take back America.

ditkasays   January 31st, 2012 - 4:49 am

This guy is despicable.

FLIrishPM   January 31st, 2012 - 4:51 am

Ever notice that Bashir always pulls the "indignation" card when it comes to anything that a christian or a caucasian does? Bashir was noticeably quiet while his muslim friend in the White House labeling a Boston cop for acting "stupidly". You see, it's all about them. That's what middle eastern muslim men believe. They're right and you're wrong, 100% of the time. Arrogant, malicious and narcissistic to the point it becomes tiresome to listen to them or seeing their face on the television…ditto for the current occupant of the White House.

Rubicon   January 31st, 2012 - 5:01 am

Since when did MSNBC start broadcasting the Cartoon Channel instead of the news?

EricArthurBlair   January 31st, 2012 - 5:07 am

Sniveling, whining, throwing temper tantrums and exhibiting phony indignation are part of the leftist's rotten DNA.

On the other hand, it's a far better option than touting Obama's "achievements."

sononthe_beach   January 31st, 2012 - 5:16 am

That was over the top. You are either a liberal troll trying to document responses to such hysterical death wishes, or you are from a white-supremicist group. Either way, you should sterilize yourself so as to prevent your DNA from messing up the gene pool, and thereby prevent any damage beyond what you may have already accomplished. May the Lord have mercy on us.

Toss his alien butt out of our country. Seriously…. why do we let people who hate our country live here? I genuinely don't understand it. He needs to go back to his own country and spread his hatred there. We don't want him.

Acmicon   January 31st, 2012 - 5:45 am

over the top? Your over the f * c k i n g top!

Your the problem. Libs are killing humanity off and you support it. Instead of doing your duty to fight the cancer you sit back and allow it to fester and grow. Liberal insanity kills millions of people and you support it by doing nothing but thinking they have some right to do the things they do.

They are illogical and they prove it every day. When logic loses humanity loses. To bad you are rooting for the death of humanity.

Democrats are such misogynists, they won't let women get away with standing up to them. Watch the movie 'Iron Jawed Angels' and you'll see what I mean. But when a male Democrat enforcer in Brian Williams does it, it's okay. Bashir is a Muslim British citizen who has ZERO intention of getting his citizenship, so how is he employed in our media?

MR2   January 31st, 2012 - 6:47 am

Freedom of speech is not having to see this: "Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly."

Irresponsible speech AND political correctness allows this: "Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly."

Taggert   January 31st, 2012 - 8:05 am

Martin bud, what's wrong with any of that?! It's called the First Amendment last time I looked there was no Amendment which said we couldn't complain about a President, although I suspect somewhere in the bowels of the White House the Obama maniacs have an executive order all ready to declare the first Amendment null and void.

Remember the CAIR representative that has the Clark Kent glasses? But then the other pictures showing him with the lipstick and getting his Jihad on? Martin is not fooling anyone with the tie and the glasses.

Think of him in his regular garb and watch the show. Put it all in perspective.

DukeN   January 31st, 2012 - 8:31 am

Bill Clinton got on TV and wagged his finger at the whole of the American public when he blatantly lied to our faces.

What doesm Bashir have to say about that???

And why is Bashir wagging his finger??? It's a little late for faux outrage.
