NewsBusters reported moments ago that MSNBC contributor Julian Epstein strongly suggested President Obama being interrupted during a press conference in the White House Rose Garden Friday was because he was African-American.
About an hour later, MSNBC's Touré took it a step further saying definitively, "This disrespect of this human being cannot be disconnected from the fact that he’s black” (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

After Touré said this on the Dylan Ratigan Show, fellow MSNBC contributor Krystal Ball agreed saying, “100 percent.”
Host Ratigan asked Touré to elaborate.
“There is a basic, lesser humanity generally ascribed to black people, even one this alpha, this much in power, this much in control,” answered Touré.
“You’re saying the willingness for white power to disrespect black power is higher than white power to disrespect white power?” asked Ratigan.
“Absolutely,” Touré said, “or just for white people to see a black person in power and say, ‘I don’t have to respect you.’ And even at the point of decorum when he says, ‘I’m speaking, I have acknowledged you rude person. But we are doing this thing together, and I’m still talking.’ And he continues to interrupt. That’s when it gets really disrespectful.”
For those unfamiliar with Touré, he's also a 9/11 Truther.
That said, in the course of about an hour, three MSNBC contributors blamed this incident on the color of the President's skin.
Tough to believe in 2012, isn't it?
...a failed Democrat congressional candidate and red dildo admirer.
They think they can hide behind cries of “racism!” to expand the State.
We’ll see how that’s working in November.
Dobbs defends TheDC’s Munro: ‘What’s rude is the president not speaking to the American people’
stupid also comes in black ,pick a color
I suppose it all depends on what one means by ‘black’.
One might say he is part negro, but that depends on who his father was, and no one is sure who that was.
The only thing ‘black’ about Obama is that pretending to be ‘black’ got him the job. Everything after has been about what was under the skin.
These people that can’t resist pulling out the race card need to listen to themselves and their fellow members of the Obama choir. They are becoming a parody of themselves, fully worthy of the classic SNL treatment like Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd used to do.
Seeing everything as racism- paranoia.
"The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire"
This is why I was worried about Obama in 2006 and 2007. I knew this would be the constant refrain, as it has been for 4 years. Hopefully, Americans are tired of it.
Sam Donaldson interrupted every president he ever covered. Rudeness or aggressive reporting is not racism. Getting really tired of the race card being continually played on behalf of President Post-partisan and Post-racial.
No, it’s because Obama just won’t shut up. It’s almost like he’s in a movie theater. :)
I heard “Money for Nothing” played on a local radio program a couple of days ago, and they edited out that entire verse.
As far as the Left is concerned NOTHING he does can be disconnected from the fact he is black. Hell, nothing ANYONE does can be disconnected from the fact that he is black.
Which is odd seeing as how his mother was white as the driven snow.
NewsBusters reported moments ago that MSNBC contributor Julian Epstein strongly suggested President Obama being interrupted during a press conference in the White House Rose Garden Friday was because he was African-American.
And the fact that Julian Epstein made this comment was because he is an IDIOT.......
Since President Bush was interipted all the time was he black?
How about Obama was interupted becuase what he was saying was a lie or just plain stupid? Maybe both.......
Playing the race card is a sign of desperation, and capitulation on the issue at hand. It used to be effective, but not any more.
I'm not sure I have seen a picture of Obama in the White House where he DOESN'T have his feet up, showing his contempt for those in the room with him, and cheering up the Muslim multitudes worldwide who can also see these pictures and know exactly what he is doing, and why.
LOL! You gave me a good laugh!
