Progressive Marc Lamont Hill Denounces Heated Rhetoric…Then Calls Obama a ‘Murderer’

During an interview with WOR talk radio host Steve Malzberg Wednesday, Columbia University professor Dr. Marc Lamont Hill calls for a relaxation in political rhetoric while simultaneously calling Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama “murderers.”

The liberal professor stands firm in his accusation of Bush, but when pressed with his characterization of Obama, Hill backs down, using a generalization to say the “U.S. government is responsible for murder.”

Way to “tone it down”…

    Hill is a smooth talking nonsense speaker. Only people who lack logic or a BS detector will fall for his untruthful talking points.

    Its time to laugh the Libs out of existence instead of getting angry. They can’t stand to be mocked.
    This animated web video exposes the insanity of the Progressives with big time humor and gives us a new symbol (weapon) to mock the enemy — the (no) “head-up-the-butt” person. Feel free to save the image to your desktop from the movie link.

      Also, does anyone remember him on O‘Reilly’s ‘The Factor’ when he said that he knows for a fact that the Tea Party is racist? O’Reilley challenged him to come back on the show with proof to back that up. Did he ever bring forth the proof that the Tea Party is racist?

I will have to toss this around in my head awhile and try to figure out why he is making such a sharp turn away from obama. He still likes to spin and defends the extreme left.I like the guy doing the interview. He did a nice job. He is good at comebacks to the rhetoric that Hill attempted to slide in with his comments.

      Lamont has never been an obama ideologue. In all fairness, he is a socialist liberal but he stands for what he believes in. I have always had a grudging respect for him because of that. What gets me is on some issues he is extremely sharp and perceptive but then on others he has his head so far up his butt you couldnt pull it out with the jaws of life…

      YES HE IS. He does seem like a nice guy…but it’s what he says to his inner circle that counts. They wrap their leftist agenda in what appears to be “moderation” to pull us more to the left. Hell, Obama looked moderate durring his presidential campaign…but if you watched him prior to his “shift” to the middle you would have seen a completely different person. It’s a tactic.

      Regarding the words coming out of Marc Lamont Hill’s mouth:

      There is no Truth heard from the mouth of this person. Those who are
      Children of God (YHVH) are able to discern this, through Jesus (Yeshua)
      Christ and the Holy Spirit (Ruach).

      Quote from Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary, “8:41-47 Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves and others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men’s souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, and promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liars resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion forever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasonings, pride and envy, wrath and malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil. By the truth, here understand the revealed will of God as to the salvation of men by Jesus Christ,”

      We are not allowed to judge others. Judgment belongs to God, but we have been given the responsibility to discern the spirit, which flows out of the mouths of others. Jesus spoke in the Word of God regarding these people.

      Quote from John 8:44 (Jesus replies to the Sadducees & Pharisees), “You are from your father,
      the devil, and you prefer to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the start; he was never grounded in the truth; there is no truth in him at all. When he lies he is speaking true to his nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.”

      (Prophecy regarding the Famine and Drought of the Word of God, In the Last Days):
      Amos 8:11-12, “The days are coming—declares the Lord YHVH—When I shall send a famine on the country, not hunger for food, not thirst for water, but famine for hearing YHVH’s word. People will stagger from sea to sea, will wander from the north to the east, searching for YHVH’s word, but will not find it.”

      God’s word speaks in prophecy, of the children being taught lies. (Quoted from Amos 8:13):
      “That day, fine girls and stalwart youths will faint from thirst.”
