CNN's Hill: 'Greatest Lie in American History Is the Myth of the Self-Made Person'
MRC Newsbusters ^ | November 8, 2015 | Brad Wilmouth

Appearing as a guest during the 5:00 p.m. hour of CNN Newsroom with Poppy Harlow on Sunday, liberal CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill declared that "the greatest lie in American history is the myth of the self-made person" as he answered a question about why GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is so popular with white Republicans.

Not a waste. People can learn that a cage is the ultimate destination for being a liberal. Scared straight.

Worked for Vlad the Impaler. Kept his Hood Liberal free.

Not surprised, Marc Lamont Hill couldn’t make a living delivering pizza without government help.

He’s a low IQ mimic. Can’t utter an unscripted thought. Much along the lines of obama.

We have reached the stage in this country where we are inundated with trash like this, under the assumption by the writers that sheer volume will convince people that it has to be true.

Odumbo’s still trying to debunk the fact that people CAN and DO make themselves successes.

What about the self made flatulence?

How ridiculous! The adage, “a self made man” simply refers to one who has worked hard and exceeded their expectations or risen above their inherent obstacles and hardships to a lofty position.

It doesn't mean that the “self made man” didn't benefit from the existing infrastructure.

The left is desperate to tear down concepts of self reliance and personal achievement. All good must flow from the state, not the individual.

Yeah, but videos of the mulching would do that too.

It appears that Marc Lamont Hill should undertake a regimen of rigorous self-examination in order to determine why he feels compelled to take credit for the achievements of others. It’s really an unattractive human quality, like alcoholism, drug addiction and pederasty. One is left to wonder why he thinks he must persist in such deleterious behavior.

“Marc Lamont Hill”

So he won’t mind his job being given to a homeless person since anyone can do his job since he didn’t do it.

Or, my concern about a shortfall in cages for rabid dogs could be addressed simply by making the lib SHARE the cage with the animal. Kinda cruel, though. To the dog, that is.

Marc Lamont Hill was very VERY angry when his High School teacher required him to read a Horatio Alger story in tenth grade.

Then in Karl Marx Kommunity College he was forced to read about Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln. At that point he became unhinged and was unable to return to any semblance of a normal thinking being.

So he decided to go into journalism...

Clearly you havent thought this through.

We can put cameras on the cages and do live PPV to pay for the damage they have done.

Liberals tell us starvation is a beautiful and euphoric way to die. Ask the family of Teri Schaivo. Likewise we are reducing the Earfs carbon footprint in accordance with their wishes.

We get to watch them suffer horribly in growing piles of their own waste with no hope of redemption.

Whats not to love?

Every time I see Marc Lamont Hill talking, I think of an underpowered engine driving a high speed transmission.

Seems fair. We've had to live in growing piles of their waste just by living in the US -- seems like it ought to be their turn by now.
