MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Plays Race Card on Budget, Libya
News Busters ^ | 5 Apr 2011 | Alex Fitzsimmons

Covering the budget debate on Capitol Hill and the conflict in Libya, Andrea Mitchell spun two serious policy issues as examples of race-baiting.

On the April 5 edition of “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” the MSNBC anchor lamented that Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) proposed 2012 budget would ravage black and Hispanic communities.

“Representative Paul Ryan’s 2012 budget, released today, includes reforms, what they call reforms, and also big cuts in housing assistance, job training, and food stamps,” warned Mitchell. “All of which would have a very big impact on particularly poor and minority communities, some say.” Mitchell was mum as Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) bandied ludicrous assertions about the 2012 Republican budget, which would slash spending by nearly $6 trillion over 10 years mostly by reforming unsustainable health care entitlement programs.

“It’s clearly a nervous breakdown on paper and it will do enormous damage, I think, to the vulnerable populations of this country,” predicted the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, who added that the House Budget Chairman's proposed cuts to non-defense discretionary spending would “devastate the poor,” particularly in America's racial minority groups.

Damn, she sure doesn’t think very highly of those ethnic groups, does she?

“All of which would have a very big impact on particularly poor and minority communities, some say.”

And here I thought Katie Couric held the copyright on "some say." Guess not.

Andrea Mitchell is a leftist hack and the 'poor and minorities will suffer' hogwash is just the knee-jerk leftist response to anything that even tangentially threatens to slow down the flow of taxpayer dollars to the government. Paul Ryan scares people like Andrea Mitchell - for good reason. He's serious about curbing prolific government spending.

This clown is an irrelevant lefty hack. That is why she has been exiled to PMSLSD where we can all watch her age to the look of Hellen Thomas. What an old bat.

Uh, huh. And what has decades of paying for all this largess had on the White community? Our birthrates are low because many people don’t feel they can afford kids.

Why is Andrea not concerned that the Democrat’s pro-abortion policies kill a disproportionately larger number of black babies? And these killings have the full support of President Obama.

Is this the same MSNBC that doesn’t have any black people for anchors and hosts?

Andrea Mitchell is a liar. She is a propagandist for the Democrats. She does not belong on the air.

I’ve lost my patience with this nonsense.

It’s the MSNBC that has 24 hours of Democratic Party news.

The Democrat Ho, Andrea Mitchell, had no comment when asked why the Democrats didn’t pass this budget themselves before last October.

Listen, Andrea is actually one of the old school big players.

She is the boss of Greenspan!


Let that one soak in.


Don't make the mistake of thinking her a feeble old dweeb. She has connections.

Libs always play their hand early and too hard.

Looks like civil unrest may be coming our way soo too! Stock up food water ammo!!! If you haven't already.

andrea mitchell is a disgrace and a waste of skin. Her redemption will only possibly occur if she begs for forgiveness while resigning on-air and then going into a hermit-like existence.
