MSNBC's Martin Bashir 'on vacation' after Sarah Palin remarks
Politico ^ | December 2, 2013 | Dylan Byers

Martin Bashir, the MSNBC host who has come under fire for the controversial remarks he made about Sarah Palin, is "on vacation" and will not host his namesake afternoon program on Monday, POLITICO has learned.

Sources at the network said Bashir had been temporarily suspended from the network following graphic remarks he made last month about the former governor from Alaska. In that segment, Bashir suggested that Palin should be forced to endure slavery like conditions, including the consumption of feces.

MSNBC spokesperson Lauren Skowronski told a different story: "He’s still out on vacation," she wrote in an email. Asked multiple times when Bashir would return from vacation, Skowronski did not respond.

Typical left-wing tactic: make the “offender” unavailable (vacation, on assignment, etc.) until things die down/blow over, then respond to any info requests with, “That’s old news. It’s time to move on.”

“Controversial” does not BEGIN to describe the filth that poured from the creep’s verbal orifice.

Every now and then you see the true face of liberalism, and even liberals are shocked by it. It’s when they get real power, like in the Soviet Union, that liberalism/communism drives them to do things you would have never thought possible for human beings.

Palin “encroached” on the left’s biggest cudgel - slavery.

MSNBC spokesperson Lauren Skowronski told a different story: "He’s still out on vacation," she wrote in an email.

But in the meantime, under an hour ago- on Fox News there was a Live interview with NTSB officials about the very sad Metro-North train accident. So, instead of having comments from Martin Bashir now, we get the democrats shrewdly sending up fecal mouth chuckie schumer to the podium with the NTSB officials.

Actually, the accident occurred in (or at least close to) the area schumer pretends to represent, so there's some reasonable excuse for his presence.

However, that many cameras in operation should be expected to attract that particular sorry specimen like a pile of merde draws maggots.

If any conservative at FOXNews had said the same he would be out of a job - probably forever. Hate for liberals is as common as the air they breath...

I wonder if the Comcast board ordered his timeout. Hell, the board should give the entire network a timeout.

Agree. It's probably an 'all expenses paid' vacation - - they're all haters at that network.
