When one of Tucker Carlson's guests this evening ventured into the racial minefield that our political landscape has become, the show host chose not to join him on the perilous journey . . . .

Carlson began a segment by reading the recent statement by Michelle Obama displayed here.

Tucker admits to fear of criticizing Michelle Obama. Ping to Today show list.

Michelle Obama? She’s not the one running. But, you know, she is okay and right.

[GraniteStateConservative]

“Ain’t no?” She’s a Princeton girl and a Harvard Law grad!

[Duck Fan]

“ain’t no black people in iowa....”

and you know what i’m talkin’ ‘bout!

Where’s that ultimate arbiter of all things racist, Al Sharpton, when we need him. Looking for the next Tawana Brawley, no doubt, now that the Jena-6 chief thug has pled guilty.

Tucker Afraid ~ period!!!!

She is not an asset to the campaign.

He goes into “southern accent” speak from time to time, depending on the venue, which is quite disgraceful, but she is openly racist.

And for a graduate of premier universities to say “Ain’t no...”, well, that’s just awful.

ain't no black people in Iowa

Actually, there are 61,853 according to the 2000 Census.

[freeangel]

What would one expect? Tucker’s a sissy.

[river rat]

Those blacks that have made it....can’t speak as though they’ve gone “white”...

This is a form of racism....pandering to those who still speak as semi illiterates..

[beelzepug]

Gnome sayin’?

[nicmarlo]

She’s a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.....maybe that’s why.

[Duck Fan]

Word!

Word

"But, you know, she is okay and right."

The ONLY thing she is right about, is the outcome indicated that even the white electorate in Iowa is dazzled by the empty pandering rhetoric of Obama and ignorant of the lack of any real substance or accomplishments -- and a history fraught with unsavory and suspicious facts and behavior.

"When one of Tucker Carlson's guests this evening ventured into the racial minefield that our political landscape has become Democrats have driven political debate into..."

Clarified.

Thanks for the help ;-)

You are absolutely right. We could have a racist first lady. She has made recent statements about Barak Hussein not being as safe on the campaign trail as other candidates due to his race.

[Bahbah]

We could have a racist first lady.

And so many of us have been beyond that for years and years, or where never there in the first place. But it's a thing that Mrs. Obama just can't let go of.

He pretty much avoids it in his public persona (I have no idea whether that is the "real" Barak" or not), but it is more reflective of where this country actually is.
