Journalistic integrity took another Monday afternoon on MSNBC, with another casualty in the liberal plot to paint President Trump as a closet neo-Nazi Klansman. Piling in on the liberal media frenzy following Saturday’s sad events at Charlottesville, MSNBC’s Chris Jansing anchored a segment with Trump critic Mark Potok, formerly of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Now Editor-in-Chief of the SPLC’s Hatewatch Blog, Mr. Potok is a mainstay within the liberal propaganda machine. But after witnessing the softball interview with MSNBC’s Chris Jansing, you’ll realize she seems to be as well.
MSNBC’s Jansing Lets Lefty Potok Loose; Says Trump Is ‘An Unvarnished Racist’
After first being asked if the nation was regressing back into the ideology of right wing hate, Potok replied
I think we absolutely are. I mean, look, the important thing to say in all of this, or perhaps one of the important things to say, is the incredible responsibility that Donald Trump has. You know, this rally that led to the terrorist attack was billed as unite the right. I think none of the kind of bottom feeders who were actually there leading this organization, this rally, had the kind of responsibility that, in fact, Donald Trump has had.
After Potok essentially stated that President Trump was more responsible for the white nationalist protest than the very organizers of the protest he added:
You know, let's not forget, this is a man who from the very beginning and even before his campaign, was essentially an unvarnished racist
Now if you guessed the anchor would somehow push back on that, you’re sadly mistaken. Instead Jansing played ‘devil’s advocate’ and, with a straight face, asking if that meant he condoned the white nationalist groups or the violence that happened in Charlottesville.
Jansing then wondered about whether he believed Attorney General Jeff Sessions when he said they were going after the white nationalists that turned violent, Potok Declared:
It rings absolutely false to me. You know Jeff Sessions is in charge of a justice department that recently decided the great problem with diversity in this country is that white people are being supposedly denied admission to colleges, based on their skin color.

Below is a full transcript of the interview:
MSNBC Live
08/14/17
1:33 p.m. Eastern
CHRIS JANSING: Your website says or the Southern Poverty Law Center website says there are 917 active hate site groups across the country. Are we regressing as a nation that rejects this abhorrent ideology?
MARK POTOK: Yeah. I think we absolutely are. I mean, look, the important thing to say in all of this, or perhaps one of the important things to say, is the incredible responsibility that Donald Trump has. You know, this rally that led to the terrorist attack was billed as unite the right. I think none of the kind of bottom feeders who were actually there leading this organization, this rally, had the kind of responsibility that, in fact, Donald Trump has had. You know, let's not forget, this is a man who from the very beginning and even before his campaign, was essentially an unvarnished racist, talking about things like encouraging people at his rallies to attack black protesters. Calling a Mexican judge, you know, unable to judge fairly in his case. On and on and on. So I really --
JANSING: Let me play devil's advocate for just a second. Does that mean he necessarily condones what we saw over the weekend in Charlottesville, or condones these kinds of groups, these very extremist groups?
POTOK: Well, presumably, he doesn't condone open terrorist murder. But let's remember, he had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to the microphone today to finally say something about white supremacy. Let's remember, too, that, you know, one of his chief advisers, Sebastian Gorka, his supposed adviser on terrorism, said just a few days ago, six days ago, in fact, that a recent bombing of a mosque in Minneapolis was very likely a fake hate crime. And went on to accuse the left, quote, unquote, of staging all kinds of fake hate crimes. He also went on to say that there had never been -- never, ever been a major attack that was not connected to ISIS or Al Qaeda. And that is patently false. Of course, we had the attack on Saturday, we had the attack last year. Which Dylan roof in Charleston, South Carolina, and the list is very, very long. But this administration has resisted facing that reality, absolutely. Let's remember, too, Donald Trump at one point was considering changing the countering violent extremism program, the cve program, to something that would have been called the countering Islamic terrorism program. In other words, the ideas there is no such thing as terrorism from the people who have so vociferously supported Donald Trump on the white nationalist right.
JANSING: So, Mark, when Attorney General Sessions says as he did this morning, 'we're coming after these people, this kind of hate will not be tolerated, it cannot be tolerated in America.' does it ring true to you? Do you believe this administration is going to do something now?
POTOK: It rings absolutely false to me. You know Jeff Sessions is in charge of a justice department that recently decided the great problem with diversity in this country is that white people are being supposedly denied admission to colleges, based on their skin color. That to Jeff sessions is apparently the big problem out there. So, you know, I think the reality is -- let's also remember, Donald Trump has, as the head of his commission looking at supposed voter fraud -- Kris Kobach, the chief vote suppressor from Kansas, secretary of state of Kansas. So, no, I think there are many people within DOJ and the civil rights division who are absolutely good people. But the leadership is rotten. The stink is coming from the top.
JANSING: Mark Potok. Good to say you, lower often only speaking under these unfortunate, horrible circumstances. But I thank you so much for your expertise.
POTOK: A pleasure. Thanks for having me.
To liberal fascists, if you disagree with their Communist ideology, you are a racist
Someone please hold a mirror in front of that loon and force him to look at it
Mark Potok would look good in a hemp necktie...
Exactly, that’s why I said that someone should hold a mirror in front of that loon and force him to look at it
According to the Nazis and the communist, anyone who either disagreed with them or was called evil by them did not deserve to live.
He really took a hard hit from the UGLY stick.
1) “(Obama’s) a nice person, he’s very articulate this is what’s been used against him, but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.” — Dan Rather
2) “White folks was in the caves while we [blacks] was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” — Al Sharpton
3) “‘Hymies.’ ‘Hymietown.’” — Jesse Jackson’s description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.
4) “A few years ago, (Barack Obama) would have been getting us coffee.” — Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy
5) “The Israeli puppeteer travels to Washington and meets with the puppet in the White House. He then goes down Pennsylvania Avenue and meets with the puppets in Congress. The Israeli leader then ‘brings back millions of dollars’ in aid to Israel.” — Ralph Nader
6) “(Harry Reid) was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” — Harry Reid’s comments reported by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann
7) “I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C.

9) “Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.” — Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights
10) “Well, because the Arabs who were involved in 9/11 cooperated with the Zionists, actually. It was a cooperation. They gave them the perfect excuse to denounce all Arabs.

14) “There’s white racist DNA running through the synapses of his or her brain tissue. They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life.” — Jeremiah Wright
15) “The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.” — Louis Farrakhan
16) “White people shouldn’t be allowed to vote. It’s for the good of the country and for those who’re bitter for a reason and armed because they’re scared.” — Left-wing journalist Jonathan Valania

Now, he said, he is back to where he was.’” — The Daily Mail quotes Joseph Lowery, who gave the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration
18) “We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is…We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way.” — Helen Thomas

24) “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person…” — Barack Obama
25) “That’s just how white folks will do you. It wasn’t merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn’t know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.” — Barack Obama
Dana Perino and Juan Williams over on Fox aren’t much better.
“25 Examples of Liberal Racism in Quotes”

Obama was a varnished one.
As opposed to a varnished racist.
1. Justice Sonia Sotomayor famously invoked her identity as a “wise Latina” who could outdo a white man. “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” she said in an October, 2001 speech that became a point of criticism for Republicans.
2. When Donald Trump released his list of potential Supreme Court nominees, the left was quick to point out they were all white. Think Progress published an article titled “Your Ultimate Guide To The 11 White People Donald Trump Will Consider For The Supreme Court,” which pointed out that “Only three are women. All are white.”
3. George Takei, Star Trek actor and gay rights activist, called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a “clown in black face” after his vote against the recognition of same-sex marriage. “I mean, doesn’t he know that slaves were in chains?” Takei said. “That they were whipped on the back. If he saw the movie 12 Years a Slave, you know, they were raped.”
4. Liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson blasted Thomas for his stance against affirmative action. “I believe in affirmative action, but I have to acknowledge there are arguments against it,” Robinson wrote. “One of the more cogent is the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court.”
5. Anna Quindlen, a liberal writer for Newsweek, clearly invoked Thomas’ race in her criticism of him, saying “His judicial resume was mediocre; he was chosen because he was conservative and black, an affirmative-action hire by an administration that eschewed affirmative action.”
6. Liberal writers and activists Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon wrote an article in the Seattle Times saying Thomas was unseemly as a “beneficiary of affirmative-action programs who climbs the ladder of success by attacking affirmative action.”
7. To defend itself from criticism over nominating a white Supreme Court Justice, the White House was quick to invoke race. In a post titled, “White House Defends Diversity Record In Judicial Appointments,” the New York Times points out that Josh Earnest was eager to tell reporters that Obama had appointed a Hispanic justice to the Supreme Court and therefore, had previously embraced diversity. The defense came after attacks from the left over nominee Merrick Garland, who is white.

Most people think the Nazis and communists were at far opposite ends of the political spectrum when in fact they were competing brands of the same product.
Leftys use of “racist” these days gives a whole new meaning to the term “cry wolf”
In short order it will mean nothing and thank you very much
And that is factual
The left’s refusal to abide by the rule of law, their continual blatant twisting of the truth, and their steadfast determination to ignore the behavior of their own but instead project it on the right - is going to lead to war.
There is no alternative.
“In short order it will mean nothing and thank you very much
—
It means nothing now-——I was called a racist for liking hockey.
Being called a racist is like being called a pain in the neck——meaningless.
