(Exchange starts near 2:50 mark) Martin Bashir to Fmr. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO): "To follow your logic, would you have then preferred the death of the president as opposed to bin Laden?"

Tancredo responds: "Of course not, my God."

“Bias Without Borders” on msnbc, 24-7

Msnbc is obama’s propaganda machine. When the propped up economy collapses I hope their jobs, and their portfolios and their healthcare is the first to go. I would love nothing more than to see everyone on that network on the street with a tin cup.

Good answer but it would have been bleeped out. How about,

“Don’t judge me by the way you think of your political opponents.”

Only those on the Left think that about their political opponents. You see it in their signs, movies and even art. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Of course this is serious debate.

Osama bin Obama is just an asterisk who will go down as the greatest scam-artist in history.

Martin Bashir is a Brit. His parents were from India. Although his parents were Muslims, he claims to be a 'committed Christian'. I think he is a committed anti-American, left-wing tool. The vicious and hateful contempt leftists have for anyone who opposes their Marxist ideology and socialist agenda knows no limits. This Bashir person on MSNBC is outrageous with that idiotic 'question' (statement, really) to Tom Tancredo. I agree that no one, absolutely no one on the right, even so-called moderates (such as Governor Mitch Daniels) should ever again agree to appear on any MSNBC news program for any reason as a protest to this ridiculous attempt to make Tancredo's immigration policies akin to wanting Obama assassinated. Talk about 'projection'! Unfortunately, we all know full well that many Republicans will agree to appear on various MSNBC news shows to gain publicity, but they are fools for doing so. The left fallaciously whines about Fox News being a 'Republican' outlet but MSNBC goes beyond being a Democrat mouthpiece and has become a blatantly Marxist/socialist haven that is openly hostile to anyone they consider on the political right. I hope they fail, soon.

My response would have been: “Not at all! I would like to see him tried for his crimes against America!”

[xkaydet65]

From your info about him it would seem that if Bashir moved back to the UK he might not survive long. The radical muzzies there would want to send a message about conversion to the faithful.

LOL

David set himself up for the lunatic question.

[Outlaw Woman]

I’ve always liked Tancredo and felt he was a strong solid individual. Don’t understand why he gets flamed on here.

[miss marmelstein]

I thought he did just fine. I was impressed by his casual attire which sorta said f*** you and his almost bored demeanor before the creep with the phoney accent smeared him.

When I was growing up in the late 60s, it was considered a brave act for someone brutally insulted on a talk show to rip off his microphone, sometimes pour a bottle of water over the head of the host and stalk off the set. When are guests - guests, for God’s sake! - going to either refuse to go on MSNBC or walk off after such a question?
