Default Another insulting and outrageous remark from an MSNBC reporter...

Not sure who this female "journalist" was on MSNBC(looked familiar, possibly Nora O'Donnell) but while discussing Herman Cain with wacked out Martin Bashir, she said "Conservatives like Herman Cain because he allows them to say look we are not racist, we support a black guy.Herman Cain is also a black man who seems to know his place in their view and they like him for that as well"

This woman really was a storehouse of ignorance.

The media throwing out half-truths and sometimes outright wrong information. That's a first!

Then watch Fox..

Always truthful..Always non partisan, right?



But I bet you don't see that partisanship, do you? Only when it goes against your previously decided views right?

Don't answer I know I am right.

Yes I am calling you a partisan tool...Playing to the whims of big money...Jump through those hoops,, Rupert Murdoch loves it.

Then why bother posting questions at all? Is your point that MSNBC isn't staffed by a bunch of liberal loonies?

FYI it's a pretty weak defense when all you can do is point at someone else and claim that he's no better than you.

Hm. And I could swear she simply puts the obvious truth straight and right.

(Judging by your quote. I did not see the TV program you refer to.)

Another staunch defender of the status quo. At least you don't flame me. Or maybe you did. Weak? No sorry.

I hate that we have a partisan press. But distrust both just as much...
Not defending anyone Mr. August...Simply pointing out the other side isn't exactly noble either.

Both are scum and part of the problem, happy?

(without them we would spend more time trying to fix problems than to appoint blame, am I wrong?)

Calling someone a tool of any type isn't constructive and violates Radio Room policy. Chill it or expect a mod to step in.

Given that no one brought up Fox but you, there is no excuse to even begin to react as you did. Just because you can't stand the fact that most Tea Partiers are not racist - and that the OWS folks have by far shown more racist (anti-jewish mainly) undertones, does not mean that you have license or justification to attack others.

Yes - a lot of Republicans and Conservatives (there is a difference) like Cain. Is it because he knows his place? Well - if that were true - where is his place? Apparently leading the polls to get the GOP nomination for President.

Isn't it amazing - any person who isn't a "white" person that is conservative and in the public eye is made out to be some kind of traitor to their race. They become an "uncle tom". So who is it that makes a big deal of race again?

Cain is succeeding because he has a message people embrace. Supporters see a successful, smart, self built man with a vision and passion. The left sees a black man they can't control, so they have to find some way to attack him - or belittle him.

Absolutely there is. It's another example of a partisan cable news channel personality doing what they do - saying inflammatory statements just to get a rise out of people and make a name for themselves.

And no, August, it's not to say that one's better than the other or that it makes it alright, but to react to such a common occurrence with as much outrage that dear Bubbles does, comes across as a bit...silly.

You know Cain's got to be thinking, "I just had a book coming out. I just wanted to jack up my speaking fees. I thought I'd do a few debates and be done. This is just funny."

Oh that's real nice. That kind of garbage isn't even worth a response.

My apologies for calling someone, noone, everyone a tool.

You don't see this partisanship as destructive? Most enjoy putting themselves at odds with other Americans. I don't.. I think it stinks, and we need to work together to stop our government.
Answer honestly.

PS: I likedHerman, until he attacked the working man with his minimum wage crap.

By the way..You brought up racism..Not me...

Please explain.

I talked about Fox news and got a lecture on Cain. And called a racist.

Funny I voted for Obama last time and Bush JR 2 times before...I am neither partisan or rascist..So just stop...OK

I never ever accused anyone of hating Obama because of his color, so stop pulling that card, I am a self hating liberal, and try to see things as they are.

I've criticized his ideas on his own merits - they're classical Republican economic fallacies, and classic Republican social conservatism. If I'm supposed to not do that out of deference to the color of his skin, well too bad.

I find it kind of funny that you guys are so giddy and quick to pull out the "you're only criticizing him because he's black!" card after having it pulled on you by some on the left over the past 3 years.

Maybe I'm criticizing him because trickle down economics has never worked?

Interesting that you are sure people will flame you (that's twice recently you've suggested that) while you use use dismissive language on someone else. You've said several things that truly deserve a reply. So far I've stayed out of it.

Feel free sir, whack away, I respect your opinion more than most here. I 'll just go away if it pleases you and the others here.j/k (I'm not, dont get your hopes up)
But I will stand up for what I believe in no matter what. Even if it means my banning for ticking off the old guard.

I just expect my views to be unpopular seeing how the demographic of the board is, hence my flaming references.
