Martin Bashir: ‘This Is White Grievance About the Fact That There’s a Black Man in the White House’

Martin Bashir: This Is White Grievance About the Fact That Theres a Black Man in the White House

Martin Bashir (source: MSNBC)

During his MSNBC show on Tuesday, Martin Bashir hosted a not-so-balanced panel to discuss the “miseducation” of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and conservative pundit Ann Coulter on education policy.

After the panel slammed Romney and Coulter for their politics, including Bashir joking that Coulter of has a “psychiatric illness,” the conversation turned to race, ironically, with the entire MSNBC panel arguing that it is the “right” that always interjects race into presidential races.

“This is about white grievance. And the right has spent 30 plus years stoking a sense of grievance among white working class voters,” MSNBC contributor Joy Reed said. “They’ve completely distracted them from the issues of what the 1 percent are really doing to them by constantly saying they are trying to take your stuff, those immigrants, those black people.”

“Isn’t Joy right? This is white grievance about the fact that there’s a black man in the White House,” Bashir added.

“Yes,” MSNBC contributor and university professor James Peterson said, adding that it is always the right that makes race an issue in presidential politics. He also accused Wells Fargo of giving out bad loans to black people on purpose.

“Everything from N-word head to Michelle Bachmann’s revision of history…to food stamp president,” Peterson continued. “It’s all coming from the right.”

“It’s all come from Mr. Romney,” Bashir added.

      THOMAS SOWELL is BLACK – Obama is maybe Indonesian and White…maybe half black…who the hell cares? HE’S A COMMUNIST !!! AN ARROGANT, AMERICAN-HATING, DICTATOR-WANNA-BE COMMUNIST/MUSLIM …. He could be WHITE, he could “eye candy” (which he sure as hell is not), he could be anything but the fact that he’s AN ARROGANT, AMERICAN-HATING, DICTATOR-WANNA-BE COMMUNIST/MUSLIM negates anything good he could be!!!

      OH! and now we know why there is GRIDLOCK in the SENATE; NO BUDGET(S); no Progress:
      HARRY REID. THEY got it wrong…it wasn’t the GOP that stifled the DEMS…They had total control after all from 2006 on til 2010….It turns out that it was REID who (as we all know) stuck bills in his pocket..so Obama could tell people ” I need more time”. These are the dirtiest, meanest, nastiest political phonies ever to be in the HOUSE/SENATE. REID and PELOSI. WHAT A PAIR, right?
      COME ON AMERICANS – throw them out on their ear. REID comes up for re-election in 2016 but he doesn’t have to be Majority Leader in the Senate after November !!! YOU get 3 for the price of one. Three of the worst, most anti-AMERICAN non PATRIOTS ever to sneak into office. OBAMA/REID/PELOSI!!

      WHAT IF THE REASON that twerp didn’t want us to see his real Birth Certificate etc. was that his father was INDONESIAN? Why would his mother go to INDONESIAN with a world to choose from? I’ve seen photos of men in Indonesian who could be his body double. He doesn’t look like a lot of Black people…but who cares. I know I saw his application to Occidental College in LA for foreign loan as an INDONESIAN. Oh, the history writers are going to have fun with this.

      “Martin Bashir: ‘This Is White Grievance About the Fact That There’s a Black Man in the White House’ ”

      Let’s drop all the pretenses and tell the truth!

      This man DOES NOT WANT a white man in the White House or anywhere else.

      Everytime these types wail about racism it is they who are anti-white racists to the core.

      Multiculturalizing this country has made it so weak it is constantly on the verge of exploding into civil warfare 365 days a year.

      The future belongs to the homogeneous nations, like Japan, China and Korea. Tell them to import malcontents from the third world because diversity is strength and they would laugh right in your face.

      The US’s Orwellian propaganda machine has to keep operating full speed 24/7 to keep the contentious tribes from each others’ throats, hammering over and over and over again and again, “Diversity is our strength, Diversity is our strength,” then ostracize and ruin anybody who dares to tell the truth, like Pat Buchanan and many others.

      The empire will continue to implode.

      I think he missed the fact that the Democrats destroyed the only chance to get an African American in the White House. They destroyed Herman Cain, a man that was a CEO and could , run a business and could have pulled us out of this mess. This guy counts Obama as a black man – Ha -Ha. Obama is a half breed that has no business savey. Community Organizing don’t count other than being an agitator. Mr. Cain scaried the Democrats to death. Here was a man that you wouldnt be able to put a ring thru his nose and lead him around.

      Shocking,, modern liberal discourse,,

      If you don’t agree with us then you must be______________.

      a racist
      a bigot
      intolerant
      hateful
      sexist
      obstructionist

      Why, because modern liberalism is an ideological cult of demoralization that strips away reason and logic. It is a state of perpetual ideological adolescence or collective ignorance that can only be defended with lies manipulation and deceit.

      You can’t reason with modern liberals, they think through the filter of both an infantile intellect and moral relativism. They are incapable of objective contextual discretion, the foundation of truth through reason and logic.

      To a modern liberal, ideology is first, the truth is irrelevant. The ends justify the means.

And who exactly do you think is buying them. Wake up to the fact that it is the wealthy and the large corporations that are the real problem. The established ones lobby for government programs like food stamps to get as much federal money as possible and the majority of regulations to impede competition.

      Where are the clear thing loyal true blooded black Americans? Don’t tell me there are none. Don’t tell me there are no black Americans who see Obama as he really is. Don’t tell me the blacks in America will not look truth square and see the facts that clearly show who and what Obama is. You mean to tell me black is America agrees with same sex marriage? You mean to tell me blacks in America believe in a welfare state that take from the doers, the earners, the working class, the small business owners (the very engine of our economy) and live off the “tit” of the government? I can’t believe that. Well maybe I can, but I don’t want to believe that. I don’t want to believe that the most prejudice group in America are the very ones who were held back because of white man’s prejudice. But I have nothing else to conclude that the blacks here in America are just that … self seeking, self serving, blinded fools who are going down the path of ruin A SECOND TIME and not giving it a second thought. Good help us!

Here in the land of OZ we have an idiot female Prime Minister so we are called sexist. Well I’m a female and just can’t stand the stupidity and dishonesty of our PM. If she were male I would still not like a thing about her. But she is losing votes and the numnuts that support her keep on with this stupidity cause they know no better.

      Come on now…we all know that the white people who voted for or supported OBAMA in 2008 were actually fake white people. It blows my miind that these individuals on these shows can get away with these racist jabs to try and incite the people in this country into fighting each other. The funny thing is that the more they do it the more the American people understand the game and they are sick of it. The election in Nov will prove to the radicals in the WH that the tea party activists who cannot stand the GOP’ers either have been working very hard behind closed doors to affect change in this country. We don’t believe in dividing the country or spending ourselves into oblivion. We have no war on women, men, hispanics, gays, blacks, asians, or any other citizen in this country. Our war is on a government that continues to ignore the will of its people, continues to put this country in grave danger because of its wanton disregard for budgetary restraints, and its inexcusable attempts to draw the people of this country into a war amongst ourselves to distract people from the real issues that have been facing America for decades and are now openly coming to a head. Americans will and are fighting back. We will make the necessary changes because we are awake and we are not going to take it any more.

Hamas and Hezbolla even hire PR agencies. US PR agencies are even involved in selling this crap to us. WTH. The info is by Pamela Geller at her website above.

He was useless without it… This is why harry weed was so excited to find one (black man) that was both a Democrat and could speak without the ***** dialect” – a rare find and a rare opportunity to claim some other reason why people hate progressive policies.
