MSNBC Host: GOP Candidates Want to Go Back to a Time When ‘Slavery was Cool’
The Blaze ^ | 09-24-11 | Madeleine Morgenstern

The racism charges keep coming at the Republicans.

The same day actor Morgan Freeman said the Tea Party was “racist” in its attempts to get President Barack Obama out of office, an MSNBC anchor said the GOP presidential candidates would like to go back to a time when women couldn’t vote and “slavery was cool.”

Thomas Roberts’ comments came in response to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum‘s answer during Thursday’s presidential debate about gay service members in the military. Santorum said the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell“ amounted to ”social experimentation” and, if elected, he would re-instate a similar policy.

hmmm... so I’m a racist.

Every one of my arguments against Obama over the years has involved his liberal/socialist leanings and poor management of our economy.

Every one of my arguments pro-Cain revolve around his business experience, his common sense stands on the issues, his solid moral foundation, and his ability to communicate conservative ideals and his economic plan to the masses.

I’ve been reviewing the candidates for weeks and, out of all of them, I firmly believe that Cain is the BEST MAN for the job. (I really want to see Bachmann as our VP nominee.)

I’m not thinking about pitting one black man against another. I’m looking for the man who can save our nation and I believe that Cain is the best man for the job. Had he been white, indian, hispanic or of asian descent, I would still be supporting this man.

So the LIEbrals can insult me all they want. I know what went on behind my thinking process.

And BTW, I have blood family that are half black and some that are half hispanic. I don’t love them any more of less because of the color of their skin. (I am jealous of the permanent tan and pretty curls, though!)

Ok, from memory of history I think: The Republicans, led by Lincoln, freed the salves.

You're way off there. I just consulted the new revised history book that they use in public schools. Bill Clinton freed the slaves because he was Americas first black President. The only thing that I could find on President Lincoln in there is that he invented the Town Car.

1950’s I was not around but men were men and women were women, today these fools want men being women, women wearing strap ons to be men, and men to be a woman who thinks they’re a lesbian.

sanity reigned back then , today we have a public education which does not teach, lazy teachers and many fools teaching in colleges so they can get the likes of zero and his nutters in power for ever

I have said "I miss the 1950s."

Well I'm with you. I would love to go back to a time when you could leave your keys in an unattended car, you could smoke in a bar, low Gov't regulations and much more economic freedom just to name a few. If we got dopes running around here like Libs whining about Jim Crow and other unfortunate asides, they need to ride the lightning.

nail on head

Any time I hear someone say this is not diverse, or my area or county is not diverse I just turn around and tell them that I had not noticed as I look at people as people and not by their color as MLK wanted.

Guarantee the lefty loons who throw their diverse crap about will shut up.

I want to go back to a time when journalism was an honorable respected profession. Today they're trusted about as much as a used care salesmen... The MSNBC host is helping with that process...

You hit that one on the head. Your typical Leftwingtard even today would be helpless without his illegal alien lawnboys and cheap tarts.

Concerning Thomas Roberts thoughts on going back in time, 5 minutes, duels are lawful, and he's 20 ft away armed with a matchlock pistol and I have an M60 machinegun.

Nothing out of the ordinary about it. They cry “racists!” every general election, and in many local elections. They ignore when a black murders some little boy but when a white guy does it, they SHOUT IT from the rooftops.

If it wasn’t for the GOP the Civil Rights bill never would have passed. They have been enslaved by the Democratic Party ever since.

Yet there are people on FR who think Herman Cain is doomed because 0bama has "poisoned the water" and discredited blacks. Baraq Hussein 0bama is not an American black, but a cross between a Marxist African illegal alien and a white communist chick. Herman Cain would be the first African-American President. He is American and conservative all the way.

Funny how the libs have “rediscovered” how great the 50’s were, what with the 90% tax rates and 50% union membership and “everybody” was middle class.
