MSNBC Guest: Would A White President Get Heckled?
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 15, 2012 | Julian Epstein

Posted on 06/15/2012 12:43:58 PM PDT by Bubba_Leroy

"This is just so unprecedented and outrageous, that you have to ask the question, would the right-wing president be doing this if we had a white president there?" MSNBC guest and Democratic strategist Julian Epstein said on the channel this afternoon.

"I think it's a very important question because I think this is the first African-American president. We've never had a white president been told by the opposing party to shut up in the middle of a major address to the Congress. We've never had a president like this heckled so disrespectfully. We've never had this otherness afforded to any other president and I think the right wing has some explaining to do because to me it's patently obvious," he said.

He didn’t raise his hand and ask permission from The Won (because he’s half-black).

Would a white president get heckled?

The answer is, no. Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and the Bushes were white--and, of course, they were never, ever heckled.

These idiots are such crybabies and excuse makers. They are children mentally and emotionally.

And look at the guy standing next to Bush when the shoe is being thrown. Totally calm. He knew it was coming.

Our President, Obama or someone else, is not GOD. If our President refuses to answer questions, which Obama does, often, then it is the duty of the press, and anyone else, to interupt if need be.

Obama works for us, we are not his servants, and if we want answers to questions, we should get them.

I almost wish he had. In any case, it was good to see that he still had those fighter-pilot reflexes.

And, of course, Fox News is condemning the reporter. I hate them as much as I hate the other networks.

Referred to as “Mohair Sam” as he was receiving 100 grand a year in federal subsidy payments for his sheep ranch.

Oh, I thought that was vernacular for the bad toup Sam wore.

Reagan got the same treatment. He was hollered at all the time. He ignored them.

If MSNBC went off the air immediately, how many people would notice?

"The issue is not the issue." The Rat clown is just trying to stir up an "issue." He knows he's lying. Lies are a means to an end.

“I guess it’ll be on my tombstone,” Donaldson muses. “He yelled at Ronald Reagan.” Donaldson became famous for shouting questions at the Gipper on the White House lawn in the ‘80s, before cable news made confrontational reporting the standard.

The press hated Richard Nixon and made no secret about it, president or not.

The press hated presidents Bush. I still remember Dan Rather's shouting interview of G.H.W. Bush on CBS Evening "News" in 1988(?). If it was 1988 Bush was still VP an campaigning for president.

There are thousands of examples -- and an equal number of examples of the press' servile respect and worship of Clinton and Obama.
