Following Newt Gingrich’s second-place performance in the Florida Republican Primary, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Reverend Al Sharpton blasted the candidate for supposedly using ‘dog whistle’ racial codes in his concession speech.
During his speech, Gingrich laid out criticism of President Obama’s policy failures while in office. He referenced the president’s obsession with soaking up media adulation, particularly a recent stab at singing a line from an Al Green song at a fundraiser, rather than actually doing his job as president.
Maddow and Sharpton went off the deep end, accusing Gingrich of characterizing the president in a way that almost calls out to ‘minstrelsy’ simply because Gingrich said the President needs to lead the nation, not settle for being "entertainer-in-chief."
ummm *devastating*
Long day and all that ...

Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies “something not desirable.” G. Orwell
Sub: “Racism” for “Fascism”
“Them racists in room service brung me soggy toast.”
“Then that racist bus driver tried to run me over.”
Reverend Al Sharpton
OK, here’s my theory:
When Democrats (liberals and their ilk, the MSM) use the word “racist” as a noun or adjective, all they are really saying is that they don’t like the person or thing they are applying the word to (something not desirable) while we think they are accusing someone (almost always one of us) of ‘a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race’ when in fact they are just saying, “Dayum!”
Of course they are doing violence to the language but, you know, children, drunks and lefties ...
So, from now on when this happens we just laugh and say, “If you’re arguing seriously, you just lost. If not, c’mon, get serious. If you can’t, we’re done.”
True Class Warfare is to be invoked, and be glad that gun and ammo sales have been at an all-time high the last two years....you're gonna need it when The Messiah goes down in flames, and the inner-city tribes go hostile!
Heheheh - saw it. It was hilarious. Poor old Alex didn't know whether to poop or buy a new hat!
*snicker* That is terrific. Hope it got to her quickly...poor coke bottle neck really believes she has some influence. hehe
I have sincerely tried to watch her show at least 10 or more times....just can't do it...meaningless, poorly thought out gibberish, delivered at a very unpleasant tone and pace.... even worse than "the View"
Madcow and Al Sharptongue are just shills for the late Democratic party now the Progressive party.
No longer have TV but never watched her when I had it. Something very odd about a woman who has the neck of an NFL player.
Hope this information got to her and that it did damage to her psyche...
