MSNBC, the network of far left lunatics has taken their extreme hatred to a new level. Last week, host Martin Bashir called former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a “world class idiot” and a “resident dunce.” For good measure, he claimed she possessed a “long deceased mind.”
What provoked Bashir? In a recent speech, Palin said that “Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children, and borrowing from China. When that note comes due and this isn't racist, so try it. Try it anyway. This isn't racist. But it's going to be like slavery when that note is due.”
While this view may be controversial and even misguided, it did not merit such a malicious response from Bashir. Sadly, the host did not stop with nasty insults; he then related to his viewers the story of a long deceased slave master who committed horrible acts of brutality, including defecating on those he kept in bondage.
At that point, Bashir incredibly wished Palin would suffer such barbaric treatment. He read aloud a curse word for excrement and said that Palin “qualified” for a “dose” of such “discipline.” In effect, he wished that Palin would be kept in bondage and that an inhuman slave master would defecate on her.
Immediately after calling for the torture and mistreatment of Sarah Palin, this broadcaster should have been fired by his network bosses. Unfortunately, nothing happened to Bashir because he works for MSNBC, the same network that gives a prominent daily platform to Reverend Al Sharpton, who perpetrated the Tawana Brawley hoax.
Clearly there is a problem with MSNBC’s programming. This is the same network that was shamed into suspending the host of a weekly program, actor Alec Baldwin, for uttering anti-gay slurs. This is the same network that had to suspend Keith Olbermann for donating to Democrat candidates and suspended Ed Schultz for calling talk show host Laura Ingraham “a right-wing slut.”
Since MSNBC allows Bashir to remain on the air, it reflects poorly on the entire network. The decision reveals the type of liberal hate that permeates their management and on-air staff. If a similar comment had been made on CNN or Fox, the anchor would have been immediately fired. Evidently, MSNBC has much lower standards than its competition and must have to scrape the bottom of the broadcast barrel to find enough liberal blowhards to fill their schedule.
This episode also exposes the double standard about treatment toward conservatives, especially Sarah Palin. No one would dare make a similar comment about Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama or any prominent female leftist. In contrast, renowned members of the media savage Palin on a regular basis. If she is so extreme and such a disgrace, why does she engender so much hate? Undoubtedly, liberals are scared by her conservative message and her ability to effectively communicate. As a result, they demonize her and through their hate speech figuratively “defecate” on her. It is time for this obscene mistreatment to end.
NBC News operates MSNBC and must condone the hard left programming, but it is surprising that it allows hate speech to permeate their airwaves. Until MSNBC changes direction, let’s hope viewers and advertisers continue to abandon the network.
It is time to elevate the political discourse in our nation. We should encourage networks to allow a variety of views on their airwaves including a spirited debate on the important issues that impact our country. However, in the process, Americans should demand that all broadcasters show basic human decency toward each other and those in political leadership, even conservatives like Sarah Palin. As of today, on these important criteria, MSNBC is failing miserably.
I like MSNBC. The ranting and radicalism of its guests and hosts makes us look good. Conservatives couldn’t buy that kind of publicity.
How low?—
Lower than the bedsprings in the White House when the Wookie mounts Obama.
What is going on is not a matter of logic. Palin could never win as long as the right allows the left to skew and out right cheat in elections. Until our side is willing to go to the mat, we will never win. Take a guy like Franken. He is where he is because we allow it.
Even in all reality, a guy like Romney should have won, but he didn’t. Why, because the ballot box has been compromised. We will not win, even if the majority is for us in 2014 if we allow the left to cheat.
no idea...
People like M. Bashir only go that low because they are comfortable there....said with such loathing for Palin, is M. Bashir a misogynist? Whatever...he is a despicable person.

This Emerson guy must have also been an idiot just like Palin
Turd in a punch bowl low.
They should have fired him before he left the studio. I’m glad he apologized, it seems sincere, but such a grotesque and vulgar statement demands a firing, whether it’s at Fox, CNN or MSNBC.
How low can they go? So far, they have only used verbalizations. They still can descend into demonstrations of just what “mr” bashir said.
Just raise taxes on the rich. I know a guy that advocates that position; he’s the great grandson of Friedrich Ebert.
He wasn’t fired because Sarah Palin is straight. Were she a lesbian and Bashir mocked her about it, you bet they would have fired him in a New York minute, or suspended him like they did What’s his name who was bashing some homo
It is indeed
How low?
These are followers of Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his book to Satan.
Liberals use mischief, deception, lies and all the tactics that Satan would use.
This is why President Obama has little guilt over lying to the people....it furthers their destruction of any trust people will have in each other.
That is why they have no shame in paying a woman to destroy Herman Cain.
To destroy the status quo (so it can be re-organized as they see fit) they have no shame in sponsoring immorality and undermining every traditional institution that stands in their way.
Because they use the tactics of Satan, they are winning against those who do not see we are in a real fight with evil.
The best thing anyone can do about MSNBC is to simply not watch it. I think MSNBC likes to criticize Governor Palin primarily because it creates (negative) interest in their programming. Are there any conservatives who watch simply out of a desire to see how low MSNBC can go? Probably. Don’t help them by tuning in, and don’t even discuss the nonsense they spew. Ignore them.
Yep. MSNBC is such a caricature of themselves and the PC double standards, it’s not even funny.
Even though he was born in England,Bashir’s statements reflect his upbringing by Pakistani parents.The person nearest to Bashir that I feel pity for is his wife.Can you imagine what it must be like to be married to a total POS?
Do the NETWORKs even listen to Townhall? That’s the question. We have the most bias news and that’s the PROBLEM. They got the lofo’s in their hand
hehe
He doesn’t reflect well on the relatively conservative Redeemer Presbyterian Church he attends?
