MSNBC Guest: Would A White President Get Heckled?
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 15, 2012 | Julian Epstein

"This is just so unprecedented and outrageous, that you have to ask the question, would the right-wing president be doing this if we had a white president there?" MSNBC guest and Democratic strategist Julian Epstein said on the channel this afternoon.

"I think it's a very important question because I think this is the first African-American president. We've never had a white president been told by the opposing party to shut up in the middle of a major address to the Congress. We've never had a president like this heckled so disrespectfully. We've never had this otherness afforded to any other president and I think the right wing has some explaining to do because to me it's patently obvious," he said.

Surely Julian Epstein has not forgotten Sam Donnelson. He made a career of being rude to presidents, mostly republican.

How do you respect a “president” who doesn’t respect the law.

“Bush had a shoe thrown at him and liberals thought it was great.”

I remember them gleefully approving and laughing at it.

Stupid Peas of Sh!t Democrats.

We are getting a taste of the indignation to come when Obama is sent packing from whence he came.

It’s gonna be ugly, ugly, ugly.

An idiotic statement when Bush was regularly interrupted and heckled by the Dem Lame Stream Press.

And BTW, so was Ronald Reagan.

A white Republican president would have already been impeached and probably imprisoned having done what O’Bastard has done.

Actually I think you mean

Sam Donaldson

Referred to as “Mohair Sam” as he was receiving 100 grand a year in federal subsidy payments for his sheep ranch.

Huh? Right wing president?

We've never had a white president been told by the opposing party to shut up in the middle of a major address to the Congress.

Who told him to shut up? When did that happen?

We've never had this otherness afforded to any other president and I think the right wing has some explaining to do because to me it's patently obvious."

I think Julian Epstein has some explaining to do, as nothing he said in this exchange makes any sense at all.

He is the first biracial president - not the first AA president. He is as much white as he is black. And I’m not racist - I hate his white half, too!

The lame leftist meme that racial animosity is the reason anyone (white) opposes Obama, is patently absurd. This too will cause a backlash in whites that voted for Obama, now see it was a mistake and oppose him. Being told by some liberal elite that, essentially, you’re a racist if you don’t vote for this failure of a president won’t sit well with many Americans sick of Obama’s surrogates using his half-African race as a justification to vote for him.

Would a fully black president allow
the unemployment rate for black

A white President who acted like Obama would get impeached.
