Women of MSNBC Silent on Martin Bashir's Palin Comments
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | November 20, 2013 | Frances Martel

Posted on 11/21/2013 2:35:30 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

It has been a week since MSNBC's Martin Bashir took the network's hatred of Sarah Palin one step further with a sexist rant suggesting someone defecate and urinate into the former Alaska governor's mouth. Having apologized but received no discipline, his female colleagues on the network declined to comment to Breitbart News on the network's inaction.

Breitbart reached out directly to hosts Chris Jansing, Rachel Maddow, Abby Huntsman, Andrea Mitchell, Savannah Guthrie, Mika Brzezinski, Alex Wagner, Krystal Ball, and Alex Witt, as well as reporter Kelly O'Donnell, through a publicist, requesting comment on the continued lack of discipline Martin Bashir has enjoyed since making his comments regarding Palin. As of press time, none of MSNBC's talent has responded to our request, nor have they commented publicly on the matter.

The silence is deafening, especially compared to the backlash against those on the right who have outraged the network's talent in the past–with far less obscene statements. MSNBC has been pivotal in forwarding a narrative of the Republican Party and the American right as engaging in a "war on women" by expressing moral opposition to abortion and skepticism at the government interfering with women's health.

Those to whom Breitbart News has reached out have, in particular, not been hesitant to comment when the offender has been a right-wing pundit rather than someone on the left. At the peak of the Sandra Fluke contraceptive media scandal, Rachel Maddow contended that radio host Rush Limbaugh did not understand birth control. Krystal Ball started an online petition and boycott campaign against Limbaugh. Andrea Mitchell invited Fluke on her program to discuss her sympathetic phone call with President Obama.....

I have not really followed this too closely, but is it possible that Bashir is a Muslim? Just wondering if so, and whether that might have anything to do with anything?

For Democrat women, being urinated on is probably pretty routine.

NOT surprising at all and I know you meant your reply sarcastically.

Those ugly hags at PMSNBC are worthless and totally jealous of Sarah Palin.

In truth, they loved Bashir’s rant.

Misleading title.

Rachel Maddow is mentioned in the article.

Rachel Maddow always looks like a boy to me. I think she wants to have a mannish appearance on purpose.

Or maybe they’d be fired if they spoke up. But the NOW org. That’s something else. Nothing at all from them.

Chris Jansing, Rachel Maddow, Abby Huntsman, Andrea Mitchell, Savannah Guthrie, Mika Brzezinski, Alex Wagner, Krystal Ball, and Alex Witt.

Maybe these people from MSNBC are into this.
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit for this bunch.

Unbelievably sad how Sarah Palin is treated. Let’s take it down to the sandbox level. (Not the actual level, which is pure alinsky politics.)

What do libs and low info peeps say that Sarah Palin is?? Dumb, correct? A dumb religious hick who is not savvy enough to be in national politics at all.

What do libs think we should do with those who are struggling intellectually? They support special education and a lot of help so that these people can be as independent as possible, and enjoy a full, happy life.

Therefore, they should be bending over backwards to support someone of such (they think) a low IQ trying to make it in politics. Let her live her dream.

They are not. Sarah Palin isn’t stupid at all, to the powers that be. She is threatening. Period. And it is easier to fool the low infos with lies that allow them to mock her and thus feel like the cool kids, than it is to teach them the truth of how the freedoms of the constitution, supported by Sarah Palin and other “obvious idiots,” will help them.
