Harris-Perry Guest Rips Cruz/Christie for Calling Obama 'Boy'—Except They Didn't

On today's Melissa Harris-Perry show, the perpetually outraged Nina Turner of Ohio ripped Ted Cruz and Chris Christie for their language during this past week's debate: "to call the president a boy, those of us who understand African-American historyâcause that's exactly what they called him was a boyâand you don't do that to anybody, and especially to an African-American man."
Republican candidates calling President Obama a "boy?" Objectionable! Just one tiny problem for Ms. Turner. They didn't. As can be seen in the debate clip that rolled, Ted Cruz said that "China is running over President Obama like he is a child." And Chris Christie called the president a "petulant child." Either Turner wasn't listening, or was making the unsubstantiated claim that referring to Obama as a child is "exactly" calling him a "boy." Crying racism everywhere is like crying wolf. It diminishes the impact when it really does occur.

The problem isn’t that turner wasn’t listening.
It’s just that the voices in her head speak louder than the TV. Maybe if she turned up her television...
On the other hand, no leftist has ever let the truth get in the way of their imagination (AKA lies.)

Reminiscent of Rosanne Rosanadanna. Without the humor.

Caling one who acts like an advocate of the asexual agenda—remember what he has repeatedly applauded as “heroism”;—may, in fact, be to compliment him.

Are they talking about that boy in the White House?

The leftist narrative always trumps the truth.
No pun intended.

Melissa Harris-Perry hyphenates her name to hide the fact that she is related to "Fridge" Perry.

Perry is an ignorant race baiting POS Not just ignorant. She's not very bright. How she ever got a job as a professor...hmmm, now that I think about it...Wake Forest must have needed to fill some slots.

Harris-Perry Guest Rips Cruz/Christie for Calling Obama 'Boy'âExcept They Didn't He should be routinely called much worse than that. He's a fool. An idiot. A Man-child. A simpleton. An arrogant, ignorant, lazy, mouthy, petulant, little boy.

Then they would be REALLY offended at what I would call him. Didn't Bill Clinton say something about Obama waiting tables or shining shoes?
Bill Clinton gets a pass, of course.

Former Ohio state senator. Ran for a minor statewide office and lost badly. Frequent MSNBC guest, and as mentioned, perpetually outraged.
