Just as one fire involving a MSNBC contributor and their description of President Obama is finally put out, might a new one be starting? Today on Morning Joe, Mark Halperin returned to the show after his suspension for calling Obama a “dick.”Yet moments after Halperin completed his analysis of the debt deal, it was Pat Buchanan’s turn to address his fresh controversy.
Last night we questioned the terminology used by Buchanan in a debate with Al Sharpton, and Buchanan didn’t waste any time attempting to set the record straight:
“Let me clarify something that happened last night on the Al Sharpton show, a very spirited discussion. I was asked who was the big losers in these battles, and the big winners. And I said one of the big losers, using boxing terminology, was ‘your boy’ and I meant the President of the United States. . . . This was taken – some folks took what I said as some kind of slur – none was meant, none was intended, none was delivered – for the record.”
It’s likely this will be all Buchanan says regarding the incident, and seems like a sufficient enough explanation. Discussing winners and losers, and how Obama was Sharpton’s “boy in the ring,” Buchanan’s potential offense (unlike Halperin’s) was in the heat of the moment, unintentional and probably requires a leap to make it truly offensive. Yet with Buchanan and Halperin as frequent Morning Joe guests, and the show’s loose format, it will be interesting to see if both men in the future refrain from even hinting at a name for Obama other than “President.”
Watch the clip from MSNBC below:
He’s not actually black, so what’s the problem? More of an Ivy League white Communist who uses blacks and Muslims as tools to achieve his political ends.
So wait. “Your boy” - bad. “Butt buddy” - ok.
Got it.
WTF would anyone engage in a debate with Sharpton? It's like wrestling a pig - you get filthy and the pig gets angry.
Let them suspend Pat for this nothing phrase, without Buchanan’s great performances/debating MNBC which is full of libs and spineless RINOs like Steele, is just a big a big circle-j....of agreement.
Oh, please. Al, Jessie, and others of their ilk would be out of business if they didn't continue to stir the pot looking for trouble. And when they're proved to be on wrong side of the issue (e.g., Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse team, etc.), they don't even have the civility to apologize for their stupidity. Al...Jesse...you've outlived your usefulness...get over it and get over yourselves.
If he said “your Ni%%er” that would have been news. This however, is not.
Tell Sharpton to jump back on his Master’s Porch, the Master needs a Julip...
The way to answer these stupid charges is with ridicule or derision, NOT an apology or explanation.
Your boy
You people
Sheesh, all the problems in those “communities” and they worry about this. No wonder.
Take Back AMERICA! Restore The Constitution!
FUBO GTFO 2012 !
Buchanan Apology Tour coming to a city near , Blah Blah
“He’s not actually black, so what’s the problem? More of an Ivy League white Communist who uses blacks and Muslims as tools to achieve his political ends.”
Bingo! This should be the response given to anyone who cries racism when this phony is criticized! I love to ask liberals, and especially black liberals, if they would have voted for Zero if he looked white. I usually don’t get a straight answer. It is great fun to make their heads explode! Try it!
Au, contraire! They "worry" about "this" in order to AVOID discussing the problems in their "communities".
That's exactly what this is about - Sharpton pulled the race card in order to avoid having to defend the policies of 0bama.
I flip past the urban station on occasion and they have promos where all the “rap” people shout out “It’s your boy, XXXX”, they all say it ... what’s the problem?
And furthermore Mr Sharptongue, you and all your racebaiting black-caucus ilk are the white-democrat’s “boys”. Property and livestock of the DNC.
You are doing what the white-democrat klan could never do...keeping the blacks on the RAT-plantation.
Zer0 is S0r0$’ boy.
Truer words cannot be spoken.
Only one problem. Obama runs the country like a little boy.
No real experience in business, he has never run one. I doubt he has taken a economics course, but, how to get hand outs? How to shake down the system? He is a educated thug.
As a educated thug expect thug results. As a little boy mooch, mooching from the system, expect the system to be molded to that world.
Either way he is a little boy.
