Washington Post Reporter Speculates On Fox News And Super-PACs Playing Race Card Against Obama

Oh those looming racists at Fox News and the Republican-friendly super-PACs. They just might try to play the race card against President Obama. But not to worry! It would only backfire against them.

So suggested Washington Post reporter Nia-Malika Henderson, appearing on this weekend's edition of the Chris Matthews show. Henderson assured viewers that if the Super PACs and Fox News "hint at that sort of [racial] language", there will be a "blowback" among independents and women. Chris Matthews was quick to chime in, adding that women are more devoted to "fairness" than men.

Hmmm....wonder why so many people now watch Fox News. That would be an interesting question for the Washington Post to handle. People being forced to watch? People being drugged and sat in front of the TV to watch? And if Fox is their news source...why would anyone care?

It gets to a sad point where a news media group has it’s biggest story...to cover another news media group. That’s a sign of having little to nothing to report.

Another Affirmative Action hire heard from.

Matthews is busy laying the groundwork to excuse Obama’s crushing defeat on the basis of the Evil Right’s racism. Leftists will not want it to be seen as an enormous rejection of their religion, Socialism.

This reporterette would look you right in the eye and tell you those watching Fox News are a bunch of knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, bitter clingers.

Poor Nia-Malika. Forced to view the world with a pair of welded-on racist lenses. What a pity.

I’d bet she insists on mixing the chocolate milk with the white milk just so her refrigerator isn’t a racist abode.

If Obama loses, how long do you think it will take WA Post’s Eugene Robinson to write a column blaming it all on Racism?

And every other black affirmative action cretin, posing as a journalist that "works" for the msm.

The affirmative action pResident has phony credentials but that didn't stop the left from pimping him all the way to the white hut.

I don’t know what planet these dingelheimers live on, but on the real Planet Earth the “race card” is something that a black person uses to get an advantage he wouldn’t otherwise have.

"Chris Matthews was quick to chime in, adding that women are more devoted to "fairness" than men."

A couple of libs demonstrate that they're BOTH racist AND sexist in less than one minute! (They forgot to mention Jews, "And they're smart people.")

I’m sure he’s already written it and is just waiting for the election results.
