Norah O'Donnell: Newt Gingrich Is A Racist For Saying "We Need a President, Not an Athlete"...LGF: Yeah, Gingrich Use 'Dog-Whistle' Racism

Will the insanity ever end?

Via Jamie Wearing Fool: MSNBC laughingstock Norah O'Donnell broke out the racial radar this morning by making some lame assertions that Newt Gingrich's criticism of Barack Obama was somehow racist. Yes, it come this this in America. Criticizing a half-black man for doing a lousy job is racist in the eyes of far-left TV babbleheads.MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell on Friday went too far for even her colleagues at the liberal cable channel, receiving mockery for her assertion that Newt Gingrich made racially charged remarks about Barack Obama. At the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Thursday, the former GOP leader commented that “shooting three-point shots may be clever.”

Speaking of the President’s basketball skills, Gingrich added, “But it doesn’t put anybody to work. And what we need is a president, not an athlete. We need somebody who actually focuses on getting people back to work.” After the clip was played, Morning Joe guest host O’Donnell lobbed her accusation at Gingrich.

“But I’m not sure what he means by this particular sound bite,” said O’Donnell. “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.”

Via AoSHQ:

Did Norah -- sweet, pretty retard Norah -- come up with this herself or did she read it on Kos?

Ah: My bad. It was on LGF:

Newt Gingrich, at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, appealing to the base with a loud dog whistle: We Need a President, Not an Athlete.

"Dog whistle" is the new hotness term for the old and busted "racial code words," of course.

"I mean that’s what it sort of sounds like to me,” so who's the racist Nora?

[Old Marine]

From what I can tell only Lesbians Communists Homos and Hippies view MSNBC while CNN gets the Airport viewers with Fox taking the rest.

It's ASTONISHING how far CJ has swung to the other side. I remember a day when he'd mock the insanity of reading racism into everything.

And I tell you what, the more the Left continues to play this race card, the more unlikely it'll be that we'll ever see another minority President elected in our lifetimes, because Americans like to criticize their leaders when they do bad and stupid things. The fact is, it's become IMPOSSIBLE to criticize this president's agenda because no matter what our reasoning, we'll be labeled racist. Forget the fact that he's the most radical liberal president in American history and THAT is what we're so adamantly against; we despise the man's ideology and the irresponsible spending. I don't give a fuck what color he is, he is diametrically opposed to EVERYTHING I believe in, and THAT is why I criticize him.

Did MSNBC hire Norah O'Donnell because their quota of retards was a bit on the low side?

Look, a couple years ago I'd look to LGF for news feeds. But after the pod under CJ's bed grew moss and mold ... and then made the transfer ... I looked in every now and again until actual 'news' was void of that dot on the internet map. So, I've not bothered of late. I can only take so many cute pictures of baby animals and his orgasms over the latest techno toy peppered throughout the acute paranoia until I wanted to puke.

But how in hell does CJ actually function? I picture that episode of South Park where the boys wouldn't leave the internet game.

He's Cartman ... his mom coming in and feeding him, and then catching his bodily functions in a damn bucket so he never has to leave his evil bidding online.

It is quite telling exactly who is hearing "racism" at every breath.

The fact is Obama has made golf and basketball and body surfing his top priorities in the last year and a half.

Obama isnt an athlete so no harm.

All NINETEEN members of Norah's audience cheered her comments!

[killerjoe]

Great way to divert, blame others for their racism.

[Jen06]

Isn't it odd that Norah commented "...all black people are good athletes"? This seems to be stereotyping in a big way and much more racist that saying that plays a lot of basketball plays a lot of basketball.

[Iron Maiden]

Norah O'Donnell is a racist.

[bobwhite]

Name calling is all these vile people have?

There is something seriously wrong with Liberals.

[Elric66]

I've seen him pitch, he isnt an athlete.
