WaPo’s Jonathan Capehart: Republicans, Including Allen West, Are ‘Racially Insensitive’ When Attacking President Obama

Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart appeared on “Morning Joe” on Wednesday to defend Vice President Joe Biden’s “put y’all back in chains” remarks. He argued that Republicans, including Mitt Romney, have been engaging in hateful, “racially insensitive” rhetoric against President Obama ever since he was elected. Despite being black himself, Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) also made Capehart’s naughty list.
“When I saw Andrea Saul’s statement about Vice President Biden’s comments,” he said, ”I rolled my eyes, because we have been looking at a campaign, and in some instances the candidate himself, engaging in some somewhat racially insensitive things.”
“You’ve got Newt Gingrich who consistently calls the President a food stamp president,” he continued. “You had Mitt Romney say to donors in Montana, after speaking to the NAACP saying how he would repeal Obamacare, saying if you want more free stuff vote for Obama. And then you have this welfare ad coming out that’s completely false.”
Skeptical of Capehart’s assertion, Scarborough replied, “Is that racially insensitive? Is welfare racially insensitive? Are food stamps racially insensitive?”
Capehart did not answer the question. But he did continue his rant: “You‘ve got Mitt Romney whose still endorsed by Donald Trump who is still engaging in the racist ’birther’ lie, you’ve got Allen West out there saying that Barack Obama wants to make everyone his slave.”
“Allen West is black,” Scarborough added bluntly.
“I know Allen West is black… but what I’m talking about though is a larger issue here,” Capehart responded. He argued that Republicans have gotten away with racist and hateful rhetoric ever since Obama was elected president.
“I understand why the Obama campaign would be angry, being yelled at, being lectured to by the Romney campaign about a ‘campaign of divisiveness and hate,’ which is what they have been getting from the republican Party, and the Romney campaign in particular, for quite a long time,” Capehart added.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski then asked “Are you saying they’re giving it back now?”
“No,” he replied, “I’m saying I think they are right to defend themselves, I think Stephanie Cutter was right to not back down.”
Capehart also made sure to clarify that there is nothing “racially insensitive” in saying telling a largely black audience that another group of people wants to “put y’all back in chains,” as Vice President Joe Biden did yesterday.
“Joe Biden spoke in-artfully, but I don’t think he has anything to apologize for.”

Posted on August 15, 2012 at 3:47pmThe premise, “…All men are created equal” does NOT mean ‘all men’ will have the SAME intellectual/creative capacities ‘endowed by their Creator.‘ it simply means that no man ’should’ be more equal than others where matters AT LAW {read common law/natural law as opposed to the ‘color of law’ operating today} are concerned — equal opportunity — what INDIVIDUALS do with that opportunity is totally up to them, ‘unrestricted’ by a tyrannical body politic to PREVENT access to that opportunity. — Access to the ABILITY to ‘pursue happiness’ in the proverbial ‘work’ environment is case in point. An industrial based society has now been replaced with a service based society in that regard. The information age is the ‘new’ “work” — uTube sold for HOW much in 2006??? Zuckerberg pocketed HOW much for a ‘social networking site?‘ If ’money’ were the be all, end all of one’s idea of “happiness,” we got a MAJOR problem in society in general. I could care less if a ‘man’ were purple… skin color makes NO difference. NO ‘race’ is ‘superior in his creation.’ — ‘Axe’ Chris Columbus WHY he decided to ‘settle his debt’ with the Queen of Spain with some ‘captured’ otherwise FRIENDLY folks he met when he landed in the ‘new world…’ — (Short answer — no ‘gold’ which was the mission of the trip to begin with — similar situation in the 1600‘s with the ’pilgrims.’

I don‘t necessarily think Ron Paul himself is a racist and he DID attempt to distance himself from Murray Rothbard who is the Father of Ron Paul’s strain of Libertarianism… BUT… comparing The Blaze to the Ron Paul Newsletters is disingenuous at best. Not a good comparison for a few reasons. I’ll let you dwell on what those reasons could possibly be. But one hint is that Glenn Beck doesn’t sign off on these comments as being HIS opinion… he just provides the forum for OUR opinions… good or bad… like most forums. AND, they DO have a censoring componenet… right or wrong and both you and I have endured it.
Ron Paul however DID sign off on most of those Newsletters (which didn’t seem to have any censorship at all)… and for years ignored and didn’t readily or convincingly dispute what was written in those Newsletters when published and also questioned. He beat around the bush for years regarding those Newsletters… and STILL hasn’t given a satisfactory answer as far as I and many are concerned. I and others would have DESTROYED Ron Paul during the first debate regarding those Newsletters alone. He would have never recovered and I doubt we’d (me) would still be talking/writing about him today.
And remember always… If the guy couldn’t run a damn Newsletter, he certainly couldn’t run a nation eh?

Matters not because Paul proved he couldn’t run a simple Newsletter.
