How Low can MSNBC Go?
MSNBC,
the network of far left lunatics has taken their extreme hatred to a new level.
Last week, host Martin Bashir called former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a “world
class idiot” and a “resident dunce.” For good measure, he claimed she possessed
a “long deceased mind.”

What
provoked Bashir? In a recent speech, Palin said that “Our free stuff today is
being paid for by taking money from our children, and borrowing from China. When
that note comes due and this isn't racist, so try it. Try it anyway. This isn't
racist. But it's going to be like slavery when that note is
due.”
While
this view may be controversial and even misguided, it did not merit such a
malicious response from Bashir. Sadly, the host did not stop with nasty insults;
he then related to his viewers the story of a long deceased slave master who
committed horrible acts of brutality, including defecating on those he kept in
bondage.
At
that point, Bashir incredibly wished Palin would suffer such barbaric treatment.
He read aloud a curse word for excrement and said that Palin “qualified” for a
“dose” of such “discipline.” In effect, he wished that Palin would be kept in
bondage and that an inhuman slave master would defecate on
her.
Immediately
after calling for the torture and mistreatment of Sarah Palin, this broadcaster
should have been fired by his network bosses. Unfortunately, nothing happened to
Bashir because he works for MSNBC, the same network that gives a prominent daily
platform to Reverend Al Sharpton, who perpetrated the Tawana Brawley
hoax.
Clearly
there is a problem with MSNBC’s programming. This is the same network that was
shamed into suspending the host of a weekly program, actor Alec Baldwin, for
uttering anti-gay slurs. This is the same network that had to suspend Keith
Olbermann for donating to Democrat candidates and suspended Ed Schultz for
calling talk show host Laura Ingraham “a right-wing slut.”
Since
MSNBC allows Bashir to remain on the air, it reflects poorly on the entire
network. The decision reveals the type of liberal hate that permeates their
management and on-air staff. If a similar comment had been made on CNN or Fox,
the anchor would have been immediately fired. Evidently, MSNBC has much lower
standards than its competition and must have to scrape the bottom of the
broadcast barrel to find enough liberal blowhards to fill their
schedule.
This
episode also exposes the double standard about treatment toward conservatives,
especially Sarah Palin. No one would dare make a similar comment about Hillary
Clinton or Michelle Obama or any prominent female leftist. In contrast, renowned
members of the media savage Palin on a regular basis. If she is so extreme and
such a disgrace, why does she engender so much hate? Undoubtedly, liberals are
scared by her conservative message and her ability to effectively communicate.
As a result, they demonize her and through their hate speech figuratively
“defecate” on her. It is time for this obscene mistreatment to
end.
NBC
News operates MSNBC and must condone the hard left programming, but it is
surprising that it allows hate speech to permeate their airwaves. Until MSNBC
changes direction, let’s hope viewers and advertisers continue to abandon the
network.
It is
time to elevate the political discourse in our nation. We should encourage
networks to allow a variety of views on their airwaves including a spirited
debate on the important issues that impact our country. However, in the process,
Americans should demand that all broadcasters show basic human decency toward
each other and those in political leadership, even conservatives like Sarah
Palin. As of today, on these important criteria, MSNBC is failing
miserably.
