It had to happen sooner or later. When every program, every day, points the finger at someone on the right and cries “racist”, it’s inevitable that you’re eventually going to run out of white people to smear with that label. So on Friday MSNBC switched to a black man.
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz invited Karen Hunter on for a repeat of her past performances in which she cried “racist”. But this time she smeared a black man, RNC Chairman Michael Steele. Why Steele you ask? Because the “news” network had already trashed Bachman, Bush and Beck in their earlier programs and had Palin, O’Reilly and the Tea Party scheduled for later in the day.
(As a public service, we’d like to point out that the segment begins at about the 5:30 mark. No reason to watch any more Ed than necessary.)
Hunter attacked Steele because he is touring America in a “Fire Pelosi” bus and said that Nancy Pelosi “should ride in the back.” We assume Hunter deems the statement to be racist because no Caucasian has ever ridden in the back of a bus.
Of course, it wouldn’t be MSNBC if there wasn’t blatant hypocrisy mixed in with their cries of racism, so in maligning Steele, Hunter declared, “I’m waiting for him to put on white face and do a reverse minstrel show.”
Yes, Hunter accused Steele of being a racist using language that cannot be construed as anything but racist.
Rolypoly Eddie laughed along, failing to point out the blatant hypocrisy due to either his ignorance or his dishonesty. Sorry we can’t be more definitive, but it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins on The Ed Show.
