MSNBC’s Barnicle and Senator Whitehouse: the GOP is Aryans and Birthers
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | Paul Cooper

Posted on 01/01/2010 6:45:29 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

In all the joy of the holiday season, sometimes journalists can miss out on stories involving Grinches and Scrooges. Shortly before Christmas Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) dropped one of the most outlandish statements of the year, if not the decade, and most in the press missed it. However, one member of the press has decided to agree with the crazy talk. Surprise, surprise…

“They [the GOP] are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.” – Sen. Whitehouse

Since the media ignored this quote, Whitehouse was never pushed to apologize for this incredibly stupid statement. He should be held accountable for calling Republicans who stand up against Obamacare “birthers,” “fanatics,” “right-wing militia,” and Aryans. Imagine the press reaction if a Republican had made such a claim about Democrats. Those on MSNBC’s Morning Joe realized, somewhat surprisingly, what a ridiculous charge it was – with one notable exception.

Mike Barnicle: In what context was Senator Whitehorse [sic] saying that?

Mika Brzezinski: I think he’s angry at the Republicans because they have worked hard to derail health care among other things.

Barnicle: Well, then he would be correct.

He would be correct? Are you kidding me? Barnicle just moved himself from journalist to the loony Left. Besides working for MSNBC, Barnicle writes for The Huffington Post. He’s now proven himself too extreme for either one – and that is saying something.

I can’t imagine anyone considering Barnicle a ‘journalist’.

He’s a political hack and a dishonest one at that.

Right up there with the other plagiarizer, Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Doris Kearns Goodwin, who literally crawled into bed with LBJ, “to get the story”. Sorry for creating that visual, but it was necessary.

Let's put it this way: Mike Barnicle was once adjudged too dishonest to work for the Boston Globe.

Its an interesting reference to the GOP as Aryans, because Rhode Island where Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehose represents, was one of the last Northern states to abolish slavery and DID NOT abolish slavery until 1863.

sounds like a great resume builder; who, when, where was that cat let out of the bag, I’d honestly never heard it. I’d given her a lot of slack since finding out her son had served in Iraq in the really tough times.

Fortunately, no harm done. The only people who would have heard this spew already believe it.

The proximate cause of his firing was fabrication. I often thought his “reporting” emanated the aroma of apocrypha.

Dumocrats have a LOOOOONG and well documented history of racist, violent oppression and murder of anyone that opposes their views.

Why concern ourselves about the goings on at MSNBC, it's a terminal patient that will have its plug pulled by the new owners in the not too distant future. What we are viewing is the death prattle of the left.
