Marc Lamont Hill Calls Obama ‘Murderer’ After Asking Media To Stop ‘Language Of Violence’
by Frances Martel | 7:36 pm, January 12th, 2011

The political rhetoric debate that has arisen in light of the likely schizophrenia-induced Arizona massacre this weekend has led to a whole lot of line-drawing on what media personalities can and cannot say. That doesn’t mean that some haven’t been immediately– and egregiously– crossing them. Take Columbia University professor Marc Lamont Hill, who called for rhetoric to be toned down nearly in the same breath as calling Barack Obama a “murderer.”

**SNIP**

After protesting that he has done just that on his show, Malzberg pointed out violent rhetoric against President George W. Bush, which Hill also criticized. “There are so many people who do use the language of violence,” he added. Malzberg then added another example: “If I said Obama is a murderer after something happens–”

Hill interjected: “I think it’s ok to call him a murderer; I don’t think it’s ok to say ‘kill him”… not because of what happened in Arizona but certainly with predator drones in Afghanistan, yeah, I would say he’s a murderer.”

Never heard of the guy. Audio stream @ the link.

I think Hill is the black guy O’Reilly has on now and then. He talks real fast and always seems like he’s on speed.

POPCORN FOR EVERYONE!

This is gonna be a good!

Lamont-Hill is a weird dude himself, maybe even one that some may call schizophrenic. He has consistently been on O’Reilly for many years, but I have not seen him in the last few months. This guy is soooooo FAR LEFT that he only criticizes Obama when Obama is not “far left enough.” That certainly makes sense when you read why he called Obama a murderer for the use of the drones.

[Mr. Mojo]

Never heard of the guy.

He's so far to the left he makes Obama look like a moderate.

[funfan]

He is a Liberal as well

[TheThinker]

Oh, Hill is a real winner alright. He openly supports cop killers and pretends to be an intellectual.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hill was a professor at my old school, Temple University, which is why I don’t send them any money any more. Too many reds on the law school faculty and elsewhere.

Hill is funny but Herman Goering had a good sense of humor too. Charlie Manson was very funny also.

What is forgotten is that Hill is some kind of marxist, ideologically maybe “Chavezista” or entertainingly, a “Grouchoist”. But he is weird and a good con-artist re what he teaches, “Hip-Hop” something or other.

Sort of an Al Sharpton at college. Both must have the same ghost writer. (Maybe they borrowed him from Bill Ayers). Just a thought.

This dude is a self professed Marxist.

Dr. Marc Lamont Hill is one of the leading hip-hop generation intellectuals in the country. His work, which covers topics such as hip-hop culture, politics, sexuality, education and religion, has appeared in numerous journals, magazines, books, and anthologies. Since his days as a youth in Philadelphia, Dr. Hill has been a social justice activist and organizer. He is a founding board member of My5th, a non-profit organization devoted to educating youth about their legal rights and responsibilities. Dr. Hill also works closely with the ACLU Drug Reform Project, focusing on drug informant policy. In addition to his political work, Dr. Hill continues to work directly with African American and Latino youth. In 2001, he started a literacy project that uses hip-hop culture to increase school engagement and reading skills among high school students. He also continues to organize and teach adult literacy courses for high school dropouts in Philadelphia and Camden

One just has to wonder if Marc has a skull shrine at home.

[fish hawk]

He doesn’t need a shrine, he worships himself.

[TigersEye]

LOL Yes, you are undoubtedly right.

“I think Hill is the black guy O’Reilly has on now and then.”

He is, which is why I question O’Reilly.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

‘He’s so far to the left he makes Obama look like a moderate.’

He is far to the left of Juan Williams, who is more pleasant and of better character.

[Doc Savage]

If you’ve never seen this moron he’s always good for a laugh to reinforce the concept that black youths need to strive for a better education. How this loser was ever allowed into a college, let alone graduated, and was granted a Piled Higher and Deeper to boot is beyond comprehension.

[Thermalseeker]

Never heard of the guy

Not to worry. You're not missing anything. Hill is a glittering gem of colossal willful ignorance (with a PhD).....

Hill is an affirmative action hire at Columbia University who brings disgrace to his school every time he opens his motor mouth.
