Exactly! Why did David Gregory tie food stamps to black people?

Who's the "racist?"

Exactly! Who sees racism in everything?

“Honestly, why are liberal media members so racist and so ignorant? As NewsBusters reported Sunday, there are more white people in America receiving food stamps than blacks.

As such, how can food stamps be some kind of racist code? As this is preposterous, isn’t it Schultz and his ilk that are playing the race card again?

And is it really too difficult for folks like NBC’s David Gregory, Salon’s Joan Walsh, and Schultz to do some research to better understand the demographic breakdown of food stamp usage?

It took me just seconds on Google to uncover a 2005 study by the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire which found that in rural areas, 53 percent of food stamp recipients were white as compared to 27 percent black. In urban areas, this breakdown was 34 percent white to 35 percent black.

Is it asking too much for major news organizations to do a little fact-checking before they make totally unqualified statements that falsely impugn the character of our nation’s political leaders?

Yeah, I know - these aren’t news organizations. They’re left-wing advocates posing as news organizations.

And they should all be ashamed of themselves.”
