Chris Hayes: Would Fox News Defend Bundy Ranch Supporters if They Were Black?
Mediaite ^ | April 22, 2013 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 04/22/2014 2:26:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Monday night, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes used an essay on Slate about the Bundy Ranch standoff and race as a jumping off point to discuss how this story would be different if rancher Cliven Bundy’s armed supporters were black.

“When is it that people take up arms against the federal or state government, point their arms at federal agents and face no consequence for it?” Hayes asked. “The answer is to that is hardly ever.”

Hayes went on to imagine how Fox News react to the New Black Panthers if they decided to “greet law enforcement with long guns.” Or what if the Occupy Wall Streeters had been holding “rifles and sniper-scopes” instead of “drums and hand-made signs,” would Fox News have called them “patriots for resisting tyranny?”(continued)

So says the guy who works on the whitest network on television. The only reason Sharpton is on there is because of his race, it is certainly not because of his intellect!

******

Hayes was born on February 28, 1979, in the Bronx, the son of Roger and Geri Hayes. His Irish-American father moved to New York from Chicago while a Jesuit attending seminary, but now works as an advocate for the NYC Department of Health. His Italian-American mother was a school teacher and now works for the NYC Department of Education. He attended New York City's Hunter College High School, and then attended Brown University for his undergraduate education, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy and worked with student theatre group.

Hayes' brother Luke worked on Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.

Chris Hayes is an idiot...

Christopher Hayes @chrislhayes · 5h
We’ve heated the globe .8 degrees already. We can probably abide 2 degrees. Not 4. http://www.vox.com/2014/4/22/5551004/two-degrees

Two degrees: How the world failed on climate change

For 20 years, climate policy has centered around one goal: making sure we don’t get more than 2°C of global warming. That goal is looking increasingly delusional.

Chris Hayes has his question and I have mine.

Would he work at MSNBC if he had a functioning brain?

@chrislhayes 2 degrees is “tipping point,” but 1.9 degrees would still cause major catastrophes, crop failures, etc.

By simply reporting news that the MSM Leftists refused to report, they took a side. It is in the Editors office that news is decided, not by the events of the day. Every year in January hundreds of thousands of people descend on the DC mall and march to commemorate Roe VS Wade and protest unrestricted abortion. Yet, almost no MSM stations even mention it.

If one Occupy Wall St. pig shows up in soiled clothes with a hand painted sign in Times Square all the stations devote ten minute leads to this ‘ground breaking event’.

MSNBC’s Hayes: Racism to Blame for States’ Lack of Medicaid Expansion

April 11, 2014

MSNBC personalities frequently turn to race to explain away society’s ills, and on Thursday’s All In, host Chris Hayes cried racism on the topic of state Medicaid expansion under ObamaCare. Hayes started by admitting what many people have probably guessed about him and many of his fellow MSNBC hosts – that he sees American politics through a racial lens. He proclaimed:

“The racial prism I use to analyze American politics has grown sharper and I think in some ways more pessimistic in the Obama era. I will cop to that, unquestionably. Like, I do think, see things more thoroughly through the prism of race.”

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: ‘Bill O’Reilly Is a Pretty Accomplished Race Baiter Himself’

By Jeffrey Meyer

MSNBC’s newest primetime host Chris Hayes openly admits to being a liberal activist, proclaiming in ads for his “All In” program that “I’m not just a passive witness. I am not there to just tell you a story.. I’, there to act out: to do it in real time—to do politics, not talk about it.”

Given Hayes’ long history of promoting the liberal MSNBC agenda, it should come as no surprise that he used his Wednesday March 26 program to attack Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly over comments he made to Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI). On his program, Hayes ridiculously claimed that “I would submit that by his very own definition, Bill O’Reilly is a pretty accomplished race baiter himself.”

MSNBC’s Hayes Compares Using Oil to Drug Addiction, Opposes Keystone Pipeline

By Brad Wilmouth | February 3, 2014

On Friday’s All In show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes gave a commentary opposing the Keystone pipeline as he compared America’s use of oil to “drug addiction,” and pushed the far left idea of leaving 80 percent of the world’s oil reserves untapped to supposedly prevent the world’s temperature from increasing.

The MSNBC host suggested that conservatives are like addicts who are in denial, with liberals as addicts who want to change but can’t.

MSNBC’s Hayes Derides FNC ‘Obsession’ with ‘Knockout Game’ That Targets Whites

By Brad Wilmouth | December 26, 2013

On Monday’s All In with Chris Hayes, host Hayes for a second time griped over Fox News giving attention to reports of primarily black teens playing a “knockout game” in which they target white victims for violence, suggesting that the game does not really exist.

As he awarded his choice for the “over-covered” and “under-covered” news stories for the year, Hayes began:

Not unexpected at all....

Leftists always go for the tactics they’re good at ... diversion and dividing. They’re doing both of those things here.

No matter the situation, they predictably re-package the accusation to fit in with the latest news, but it’s always the same BS of white/black, rich/poor, gay/straight, men/women — in between times of crying crocodile tears over it all and blaming conservatives.
