Not that I agree with what she said, but is there evidence that refutes her opinion?

Is there evidence that you have stopped beating your wife?

This surprises you? MSNBC is perhaps the most dishonest organization (I won't even give them the moniker of news) of all time, far worse than Fox News on a bad day. It's like if the Onion took itself seriously and expected everyone else to do the same.

I like to compare both to WWE (wrestling)

Except instead of sports entertainment, it is news entertainment.
You have your heels (boooooo!)
Your faces(Yayyyyyy!)
Your works (news skewed to fit the viewers leaning/ persistent stories)

They should just go all the way and let the Undertaker Tombstone Piledrive Chris Matthews and Megyn Kelly on camera.

(you know you would watch)

Edit: I can go for a fight between Olbermann and Bill O'rielly..
Battle of the blowhards, our generations thrilla in manilla.

I trust your word Plat.

I just take personal exception to the idea that my support of a candidate is some kind of racism. Now if you think that i'm lying about this then yeah there is no evidence that refutes her opinion, at least from this quarter.

Basically, the reality is that the left can make fun of, denigrate, bash and try to destroy whomever. They have to - because they can't win in the arena of ideas. So they have to engage in the politics of personal destruction.

They will use race if it benefits them, but woe betide the non-liberal who mentions skin pigmentation, where someone is from, etc. They will use sexism whenever its convenient, but no one else should ever do so. They will use religious persecution but everyone else must be tolerant and accepting.

Look at how the left has gone absolutely ape over trying to find a way to kick the legs out from someone like Cain. They are the one that brings up race. When they were scared of Bachman, they had to bring up her "submission" to her husband. Hillary even endured the PMS jokes when running against Obama.

OWS speakers are interviewed and propound on how all the Jews should be shipped out of the country, and no one says anything. Let a conservative say that a moron like Farrikan should get his own independant nation of islam somewhere way the hell away from the US, and we are intolerant hatemongering racists.

When someone points out the obvious problems with the actions of the liberal media - the only answer (as we have seen here) is to ignore the problem and instead yell how other people/media suck.

And the left can't figure out why their propoganda machines are still losing viewership.....

Seems to work both ways pretty well to me. It's who you choose to side with mostly. If I'm asked whether I'm a Republican or Democrat, I answer I'm a voter now to shut them up.

Well the question should be, do you believe in the consitution and what the founding fathers set forth, and that all, and I repeat all, men are created equal under the eyes of our lord. If there is a problem with that, feel free to respond after all it is a free country.
