On MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry show Saturday, a few minutes after the host's emotional apology for a racially-charged segment on last week's show, panelist Katrina Vanden Heuvel renews the charge that Republicans are racists.

The panelists are discussing populist sentiment in America as part of a discussion about the election of Bill de Blasio in NYC. The discussion spans a commercial break, and in the second half, Katrina Vanden Heuvel is addressing the idea that Republican populism has been successful in stirring up emotion and movement based on a message of lower taxes and limited government. Vanden Heuvel essentially says that yes, the right has been successful, but because racist.

"But I do think the right-wing populism of the tea party not only became so on obsessed with an anti-government meme, but let's be honest. there is a race ... racism threaded through the right-wing populism, I mean which is not unusual to American right-wing populism, that has not allowed for coalitions that could be built on behalf of working people in this country against the most powerful interests."

Let's be honest, says Vanden Heuvel. It's not unusual, she elaborates. Where have we heard this point of view before, I wonder?

My word! They need to stop serving caffeine on that network. So they have new buzz words and now they’re set for the new year. Is this what they get out of bed for every day? Is this their entire life? Sick, sick, sick people!

Yeah, Conservatives had a love-fest with Bill Clinton and HillaryCare!

Liberals are just dishonest & delusional!

I thought Melissa Harris-Perry’s apology was heart felt and appropriate. I hope Romney and his family are gracious in accepting it.
