MSNBC's Richard Wolffe Smears McCain as a Bigot: 'There's No Other Way to Look at It'

Former top Newsweek journalist and current MSNBC.com editor Richard Wolffe on Monday smeared Senator John McCain as a racist. According to Wolffe, there's no legitimate reason for the Republican to oppose Susan Rice's confirmation for Secretary of State. Appearing on Hardball, the journalist sneered that it was "outrageous" the way McCain was acting, raging against "this witch hunt going on the right about these people of color, let's face it, around this president. Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, now Susan Rice."

Such a charge seemed to shock even Chris Matthews. He sputtered, "McCain, who had his own daughter attacked, was accused of having an illegitimate child when, in fact, he adopted a young girl from South Asia. You're saying that McCain's being driven by racial prejudice here?" Wolffe confirmed, "There is no other way to look at this..."

Does Wolffee have a list of reasons why she would be a good choice for Sec of State?

Well according to the McCain Rules unless this journalist served his country in the military he has no right to say anything critical of John McCain. Atleast those are the rules the left applies to any republican disagreeing with McCain. Of course typical to who they are the left exempts themselves from these rules when they need top trash McCain.

Former top Newsweek journalist...

People voted their subscriptions dollars and Newsweek went under.

Maybe MSNBC.com editor Richard Wolffe can do for MSNBC what he helped do for Newsweek...

Your guess is as good as mine but right now the MSM is changing the subject by abusing the plaintiffs, so I suppose whether or not she’s qualified will have to wait until they finish smearing McCain.

For the love of God, how much lower will these people go?


We haven’t seen anything yet, now that The One has another 4 years. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see laws written that would make it illegal for whites to critcize non-whites in any shape or form.

These people are gonna wear the race card out.


I used to think that, but not anymore. If anything, it’s becoming MORE effective. If it wasn’t effective, they would stop using it. They have whites scared out of their skulls and walking on eggshells so as not to “offend” non-whites. McCain goes in front of the media now and they ask him why he hates non-whites. The entire thing has been turned on him, not Rice.

Three questions for Benghazi-Coward Obama:

1.) Are you HIDING INFORMATION from the US Congress about the Benghazi Massacre?

2.) Have you been LYING to the US Congress, The Media, or the American Public about the Benghazi Massacre?

3.) Were you, as Commander in Chief, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT about your responsibilities to protect and assist those four Americans who subsequently were murdered in the Benghazi Massacre?

McCain’s response to Benghazi on the campaign trail was spot on. Righteous, even.

Otherwise, McCain’s a snake.

The MOFO has a black daughter idiot!!!!!


Doesn’t matter to the left. Lou Dobbs has a Hispanic wife, and libs constantly call him a racist and call his wife a coconut.

When the left pulls out the race card, you know someone is getting too close to the truth about BO. This is done so people will back off the trail. Hopefully, McCain will ignore this stupidity and press on.

I agree with what you are saying about the left using the race card being effective.
So, in return our wimps on the republican side should start branding these a$$holes with being...radical left wing biggots and racists.
We can never win if we are the only ones playing by the rules of civility. Time to take the damn gloves off!!!

When you’re a typical “journalist” with your head up Obamaclaus’s @ss, it’s all the same no matter which way you “look at it.”

There’s No Other Way to Look at It
You claim to be objective.

But actually trying to be objective would require you to talk about any possible reasons why you might not be objective.

But since that is the exact opposite of claiming actually to be objective - i.e., since that would not make you seem superior - that is something you would never do.

You are not even trying to be objective. Naturally you are blind to any other “way to look at it” than your own.

Those nasty bass turds on the left just won’t quit. Not good enough that they just won (stole) the election. If our side backs down again, they get what they deserve.

"There's no other way to look at it".

That' s true if you're a leftist race-baiter.

This is Richard Wolffe, who thinks the gang sign he's using means, "How great am I, huh?":

I guess I am an exception. I absolutely quit giving a damn about what offends other races.

The left has learned that accusations of racism are effective even when baseless. It pervades the media that Repubs are racists and eventually it is considered common knowedge. For example I saw something on TV where a guy pretending to be Donald Trump insulting someone pretenting to be Rosie ODonnell. After a session of harsh insults the guy steps out of character and says something like “how can anyone take this racist guy seriously”. Anyone challenging the left is branded a racist and it repeated consistently and is NOT CHALLENGED so people assume it is true. It WORKS.
