MSNBC Nora O'Donnell Sees Racism Between Gingrich Lines

[Spindrift]

Not only did you not notice the story back in April, you didn't notice it says April 9 in the OP? Your powers of observation are on par with O'Donnell's.

Doesn't being wrong so often get tiring?

Nowhere in the OP does it say April 9th. On youtube it does, but not in the OP.

 

[Cicero]

Of course conservatives don't see the world through the prism of race. A prism shows you colors, they only recognize white.

Hey Einstein, black is not a color.

Thank god for small favors.

No. Thank the founding fathers.

 

[Shalamar]

Hey Einstein, black is not a color.

Depends on the color scale. If you are talking about people, Einstein, 'black' people are not 'black' due to an absence of colour, but due to levels of melanin. A person who would truly be without colour, would be Albino.

You are the one that must be anemic.

Really? Read the opening post again. This time with your eyes open.

Wrong yet again.

I apologize and admit I missed it. (See how that works when you are wrong.)

Now for some snappy rationalization: If you wouldn't insist on the bolding your posts would be a bit more readable. Or perhaps it was intentional and you didn't want anyone to notice the April 9th date?

"But I’m not sure what he means by this particular soundbite and I think it’s open to some criticism because it suggests that the President is an athlete and some people may suggest, you know, because all black people are good athletes. I mean that’s what it sort of sounds like to me." Nora O'Donnell, the guest host on the April 9 Morning Joe,

The op does contain the date, it is in the last sentence.

It wasn't in bold, or highlighted, and it slipped right past me.

Remind me again, who am I supposed to be OUTRAGED at?

Is it Gingrich or Barnicle?

Outrage? I'll settle for you just being able to identify O'Donnell in the OP and in the youtube clip. Apparently you agree with her dopey analysis.

Black is achromatic. Your source is hardly a scientific one. Any physicist will tell you black is not a color. Why don't you email British particle physicist Brian Cox who will set you straight. You can reach him at the University of Manchester.

You are 0 for 2 in this thread. If nothing else, you are consistent.

If by agree, you mean that Newt likes to lob racist softballs into the media to garner attention and props from his base, then yes. (remember the "southern strategy", Newt does)

I recall this gem from the Newt back in '07...

"We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English," he told the women's group last weekend, "so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto."

highlighted just for you

And then he had to go full retard and record this youtube apology in espanol? Newt has removed the original video, but TYT has a short clip. It's comedy gold!



And this was his English "apology"...

"Look, people are misunderstanding what I'm saying," Gingrich said. "What I was simply saying is that a language barrier -- any language barrier, whether you speak Hindi, Chinese, Vietnamese -- hampers a person's ability to communicate in the language of prosperity."

Now, we all know that the only people in the world who are prosperous speak English, right? It is the official language of prosperity after all...

tell that to Crayola.

But then, You are never ever wrong, are you? Anything to get at those evil dirty libs.

There's a reason why some on the "professional left" refer to her as Noron.

As Maureen Dowd is known as the "Queen of Snots."

You don't think the dictionary is a good source for defining a word? Black is a color, whether you want to admit it or not.

What about Katrina Vanden Heuvel?

Jane Hamsher?

Ezra Klein?

Steve Coll?

Joshua Micah Marshall?

Rachel Maddow?

Cenk Uygur?

Surely you have "pet names" for all of them too?

seeing how the topic has changed from Newt's racism

 

[linusrichard]

Girls, girls, you're both pretty.

Whether black is a color depends on the context.

Maybe a physicist will tell you it's not. And maybe the physicist is right, in that context. So there, black is not a color. But if you have a black car, and I ask you what color your car is, you will (unless you're an insufferable pedant) say, "It's black." You will not say, "It's not any color; it's black." So there, black is a color. But if I have some photographs that are black and white, I can't call them color photographs. In heraldry, black (sable) is a color. But there's no black in a rainbow. But there is black in a box of crayons.

The metaphor was a prism, and when light is split by a prism, there's no black. So +1 for Cicero. But the whole argument is dumb, so -10 for everyone.

 

[Beerina]

While this quote mining isn't indicative of Gingrich's racism, I think he's demonstrated his bigotry throughout his career.

I'll go out on a limb that the basketball comment wasn't a play off some earlier sports talk levity tangentially related.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

You don't think the dictionary is a good source for defining a word? Black is a color, whether you want to admit it or not.

The dictionary is liberal.

 

[NoScotsman]

Newt doesn't like blacks. Nora doesn't like rednecks. Bigotry abounds...
