MSNBC Offends Again, Panelist Calls Grover Norquist ‘Gingrich’s Butt-Buddy’

Another classy moment happened over on MSNBC this afternoon. During a segment on Dylan Ratigan’s Show, former White House advisor to Joe Biden, Jared Bernstein was talking about the economy when panelist and “DC Insider” (Ratigan’s term for him) Jimmy Williams let loose with a string of charges against Grover Norquist.
“One person is controlling the agenda of the United States of America and his name is Grover Norquist. Grover Norquist was Newt Gingrich’s butt-buddy, he was Jack Abramoff’s close friend, he laundered money from Native Americans, he charged people $25,000 a pop to go to a Bush White House signing ceremony. He’s a petty criminal and made just about every single member of the House Representatives on the Republican, not the Tea Party, the Republican side and almost all Republican Senators sign a pledge saying they will never ever, for the rest of their lives, raise taxes. I need to know, first of all, do we on the Left have a Grover Norquist?”
Aside from calling Norquist a criminal, Williams also makes a vulgar reference to Norquist’s relationship with Newt Gingrich.
So much for raising the bar on inflammatory rhetoric.
It was less than a month ago that MSNBC had to indefinitely suspend another network contributor when Time Magazine’s Mark Halperin used an offensive term to describe the President.
Mr. Williams’ choice of words might be considered a homophobic gay slur in some circles and yet, it did not elicit a single response from host Ratigan or anyone on the panel.
I must ask the question of Jimmy Williams… If Grover Norquist is such an awful human being, why is Mr. Williams so interested in having “one on the Left?”

If you can possibly consider me a kid. You have both feet in the grave and are just waiting for the dirt.
Just another brain dead troll.
Democrat philosophy:
1) If you disagree with me you’re a right wing nut and a racist and a homophobe. – But Democrats are SOOO open minded.
2) White Conservatives are racists and black Conservatives are traitors. – Yet Democrats believe only whites can be racist, which is a racist statement within itself.
3) We believe in the first amendment. – Except for anyone that disagrees with me. (moronic beyond belief)
4) Democrats are intellectuals. – Like Conyers who thinks you can capsize Guam or Pelosi who thinks we should pass bills into laws to find out what‘s in them or Al Gore who couldn’t even recognize the busts of Franklin and Washington and think the temperature 2 km below the Earth is hotter than the sun or Wasserman-Shultz who believes being an illegal alien isn‘t illegal or Obama who thinks Israel should go to the 1967 borders or basically ALL DEMOCRATS which think the European right wing is the same as the American right wing and therefore are Nazis even though the right wing doesn’t believe in Socialism and big government or ALL DEMOCRATS which think that the KKK is Republican even though it was created to go against Republicans and became racist because most blacks were Republicans and the most recent members were Democrats like Byrd.

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 9:56pmI really do believe that MSNBC says outrageous slurs in an attempt to boost their ratings.
They were down so low for a long time it looked as if they might have to pack it in.
The only time MSNBC is given any thought by anyone is when they come up with headline grabbing insults. But even then they’re quickly forgotten, so I don’t think their tactics are working beyond a curious channel surfer or two.

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 6:11pmIt’s more obvious and pathetic every day. The left is scared. And rightfully so! Time after time, year after year and decade after decade their policies and ideas fail. The difference this time around is twofold: 1) The American public is paying very close attention. (2) The very survival of the US Republic is in doubt for the first time in well over two hundred years.
Mr. Obama is either an idiot or a psychopath. I don’t believe he is an idiot. He has incurred or has plans to incur more debt than ALL US Presidents before him combined. That includes a Civil War, expanding the country to it’s current 50 states, TWO World Wars, and putting humans on the Moon among other things.
He is dangerous to the entire world and MSNBC and most of the media are willing partners.

“Books” shouldn’t be in quotes. Sarah Palin wrote real books, not so-called ones.
“can don’t” doesn’t make sense. I assume you mean “don’t”.
“Using facts to argue with a tbagger is a waste of time” is a complete sentence (I’m proud of you that you were able to form one!). Therefore, you should put a period after “time”. Furthermore, there should be two spaces after the period, and the first letter of the following word “you” should be capitalized.
I’m suprised you misspelled “*********” and “teabaggers” a total of four times (seeing that you’re probably on the receiving end of that activity).
