This clip from this morning’s Morning Joe is currently making the rounds due to Peggy Noonan’s remark that today’s Mass. special election GOP candidate Scott Brown is popular because he “looks like an American” (which is not the full quote, though she doesn’t exactly redeem herself either). Actually, Noonan’s remark may be the least offensive to come out of this morning’s chat session on the subject; Donny Deutsch thinks the fact Brown not black or a woman may offer a “visceral comfort” to voters. The more things change, etc.
“We’re going back to basics, we’ve obviously had our first African American president we’ve had the female candidates and whatnot [and whatnot!] you look at him he looks like the candidate, the traditional view of the candidate, and is there a visceral comfort in that for people? I’m just curious from real kind of sociological point of view.”
Ah yes! The sociological point of view! Read: are people less scared because he’s white. Peggy Noonan can actually be heard disagreeing with Deutsch in the background before she goes on to note that Brown does mark a change in the voting habits of a Massachusett because he looks like “a new sort of Republican…he’s a regular guy who looks like an American from the middle, or self-made into a middle class, upper middle class guy…we’re seeing some evolution of what Republicans in Mass are right now.”
So basically a bunch of white people spent part of their morning remarking on how safe and attractive a Republican candidate is. Also, Mike Barnicle thinks Coakley is reminiscent of your least favorite substitute school teacher. Video below.

LOL!
They don’t get it!
It’s about the ISSUES, not appearances.
Liberals are SHALLOW, SURFACY people.
rot — they voted for him because they liked what he stood for, not for the color of his skin.
Race theory of the left, perfect opportunity for any conservative to ask this clown to explain what he means beyond this crappy sound bite talking point.
Donny Douchebag speaks....
The hits just keep coming from this waste of a “news” organization. From Matthew’s religious bigotry to Deutsch’s racism...
Libs are pissed because they know part of Brown’s appeal to Dem women (and gay men) was his hotness.
That’s just a fact of life.
Donny fancies himself the guru of advertising/marketing and just can’t help assessing life based on outward appearances only.
They are in denile. Cozine was a white male. Deeds was a white male.
The more the leftist elites believe this foolishness, the easier it will be to continue to blind side them.
Deutsch said: “I’m just curious.”
I think that’s all we need to know Donnie.
As opposed to Obamas unpatriotic black girlyness? Just because Brown is a patriot and career soldier, doesn't mean there is anything wrong here.
Don't the issues count, too, just a little bit?
I guess he is DUMB like Palin, Beck, etc... that tells me the right person got elected! Don’t these idiots know when to stop? Hopefully they keep it up because they look like a bunch of 3 year old spoiled brats!
I’m not comforted by Donny’s doucheness. The guy is a complete tool.
as shallow as the president trying to race bait from the pulpit
I guess at some point it’s just going to be against the law to be a white middle-class guy.
You're right, liberals don't get it. That "shallow, surfacy" thing is typically exposed in the racism of liberals.
It’s just reality.
The minute I saw him, I knew he was a winner.
What do you expect from a guy who regularly wears pink shirts?
Memo to MSNBC:
The people of Massachussets are no longer buying your lies.
“Voters May Be ‘Comforted’ By Scott Brown’s White Maleness”
I am.
C’mom DD—get with the program already. Its all about the TRUCK dontchyaknow. Even the TRUCK had the Big O all flummoxed in a wad.
Liberals are such racists.
Yes, both are males; but neither one is a man.
AFAIC, I'd not have voted for her, regardless of her politics.
Her gender didn't factor into it at all, if she was male I'd use the same type-reference.
I think he may have offered my wife “visceral comfort” after she saw his Cosmo pictures.
Brown/Palin 2012
Lol
White Maleness? Only liberals are obsessed with race! Only liberals hate people because they are of a certain race.
Little Donnie Douche hasn't studied his Martin Luther King much eh?
I LOVE HOW THE OTHER side can live with the fact that 95% of black american voters elected obama because he was a brother...but as soon as we elect someone based on the issues it is because of his white maleness....these people have no clue at all and that is why they will go down in flames....
It wasn’t so much the white maleness (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but this statement of purpose that offered me visceral comfort: “Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the wrong agenda for our country.”
The MSNBC viewship numbers will jump due to conservatives tuning in to watch the meltdown.
The more the leftist elites believe this foolishness, the easier it will be to continue to blind side them.
And this is why Obama and his fellow narcissists will continue to ram healthcare and other unpopular programs down our throats.
Did you mean denial or senile? Both fit.
Us Texans think alike--albeit you a natural one and me a yankee transplant. Oh yeh-- I drive a truck too! eheheheh!
She doesnt help us at all.
The dems always pull out the race card when all else fails. No one even listens to that anymore.
Pretty much says it all.
Clueless libtards. Desperately overanalyzing in hopes of creating a reason for Coakly’s loss that fits their template. Get going down the wrong road, assclowns, and keep losing.
If he is against judging poeple by the color of their skin,
then why is he judging people by the color of their skin?

To the Left, it’s always been about Identity Politics.
It’s the carefully- built -up- over- decades mindset of Identity Politics and all its gooey, feelgood-inside benefits that is what put Barack Obama in the WHite House
in the first place. NOW , it seems , Identity Politics may be good for White People, too. We’ve come a long way, babies!
SO WHAT!
See my post #42,tats.
Said white male Donny Douche on the most lily white “news” network of them all, MSNBC. (We don’t treat them like a legitimate news organization, because they take a point of view)
Hey libs: IT’S NOT ABOUT RACE!
Peggy was lookin’ good for awhile after 9-11, even if everything she was writing back then showed her hormones were working overtime.
NOW, she is merely revealing that she’s about as deep as
a bottle-cap.
:D
Never really looked carefully at him before, but yes, he is a a hawt, pleasant-looking non-metrosexual seeming man. They once talked about that as the JFK effect; something kind of pleasantly ironic that that effect happened in a race for that seat...
Just wait until the nation starts to witness more Black Conservatives in office elected by large white majority districts. The black folks won’t stay on the Dem Lib plantations forever as one when the true light shines in.
That tide is a rollin’ in 2010.
