MSNBC wants you to think the Republican Party hates minorities. So much so that the liberal news network cut minority speeches from it’s convention coverage.
When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.
MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black.
Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech.
And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too.
Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.
Will MSNBC conveniently manage not to show Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech tomorrow (Wednesday night) as well?
Former Secretary of State and prominent black conservative Condoleezza Rice is also slated to speak at tomorrow night’s convention.

“The Misty Blue Cloudshow in the background”
That Misty Blue Cloudshow made me seasick. lol
Almost like watching the Titanic ( Christie ) floundering in rough waters at an Imax theater.
C-Span was my base, but I jumped around to other outlets to see how they were covering the festivities - know the enemy.....
I rewound it on the DVR to make sure exactly what happened.
When Boehner went on they almost immediately cut to a commercial. I saw him bring a gavel down - with the voice over you couldn’t really hear him. Then a long commercial. Then when they came back, I saw they had gone to Sununu.
The Five panel was on, and they kept the sound off, while the five chatted. I was dying to know what was going on, but absolutely no sound, just picture. I did see some people yelling.
Then the roll call of states started. It seemed faster than they expected, and they missed the beginning of Alabama. They made several mentions after that of Ron Pauls people not being happy, that’s it. Like what happened, not important enough to show, was probably some nutty Ron Paul people whining as usual.
I thought, I shouldn’t be surprised Fox is complicit in the power grabs of the country club RINOs. They definitely are. I don’t quite know what to do about it, but I know Obama must go. After that, I may go third party.
I do know I went into my living room this am and threw my Romney letters into the shredder. Maybe I’ll give money to Sarah, and there are some good conservative groups for smaller races - Sarah has been hinting that is the way to go - concentrate on the smaller important races. She is a smart cookie, that may be a winnable fight.
I’m probably going to give Romney’s money to Allan West.
The press is the enemy of our Republic. And I read somewhere that nearly all the press people pay NO income taxes, or they are cheating on their income taxes. PRESS PEOPLE ===PAY YOUR TAXES ! You will be turned in!
All Right!!!
