MSNBC's Ed Schultz Pulls Race Card to Explain Weak Obama Debate Performance
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 10/04/2012 9:49:31 AM PDT by chessplayer

With the folks at MSNBC, it always seems to come back to race. Network host Ed Schultz failed to disappoint this morning when he appeared on Thomas Roberts's 11 a.m. Eastern MSNBC Live and suggested that racism was partly to blame for President Obama's weak performance in the debate (video follows page break):

Look, I certainly am not going to bail out on the effort of the progressive movement in this country. This just makes it a little heavier lift than it is right now. It was just very frustrating to watch a guy lie to the American people and not be counter-punched because we're afraid he's going to be called an angry black man.

Actually...if American Blacks don’t broom Obama, the NAACP & the CBC, they will be adrift on the “Obama” economic slave plantation for the next one hundred years!!!

Knew this was going to happen. Wonder why it took this long?

I’m waiting for some whacked out liberal to accuse Romney of racism for expertly criticizing Obama’s failed policies of the last four years.

Definitely going to Tivo MSDNC on election night. Can’t wait to see the melt-down when their guy loses. “It’s because voters racist, well they were, but they weren’t in 2008, but now they are again...”

I’m waiting for them to accuse Romney of racism just for showing up at the debate.

It’s interesting. Romney was forceful without coming across as angry. But Schultz thinks the only way obama could come across as forceful would have to be as an “angry black man.” Hmmm

Amazing. White liberals obsess on race. They are incapable of intellectually analysing any issue without resorting to racisism as the explanation. It must be an IQ disorder.

I'm waiting for the left to make a point about Romney saying he has five boys who try to make him believe lies instead of five sons. This is an implicit reference to a black man as a boy /s

It must be Lehrer’s fault for not axing enough “black” questions.

Newsbusters update—”The very next hour, on MSNBC’s Now with Alex Wagner, panelist Michael Eric Dyson similarly suggested that fear of being seen as an “angry black man” held Obama back from forcefully debating and possibly winning last night’s contest.”

Trial balloon. They are trying to see what will work to spin Obama’s way out of this.
So far they have tried:

Race card
Altitude
“That wasn’t the real Romney”
“Romney lied”
“Jim Lehrer was a bad moderator”
“Just wait ‘til next time”

“Short Bus Special Ed” is practicing what President George Bush would have called the “soft prejudice of low expectations”.

Expect it to be all race all the time until the election.
