Michelle Bernard was all fired up on Tweety

Tweety tried to get around saying f'ing coons, stated it was the f word then a known racial slur, she cut him off and said it, said coon at list five times (not in a row) and people needed to know Zimmerman used this word.

Ended with every black man knows he would never get away with SYG defense.

Zimmerman called every African American that name when he whispered it under his breath that night, and Every American needs to be upset about it.

She was a raging conservative until the Democrats elected a black President. Michelle Bernard's politics are just like Mitt Romney's. She will say whatever is necessary to get her by and help her career.

Made it more shocking for her to be fired up.

I have my recorder set for her week-end shows to hear exactly that, her eloquence on the Sanford tragedy -- and other subjects.

Melissa H-P, along with Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes form my Political Science Trifecta on MSNBC. Before Obama became President, I cared not a whit about politics; now, I'm a politics freak! I consume every morsel of information out there, and my three brilliant online professors never fail to point out new corridors of scholarly considerations each week... loving it!

....& I agree with her. I wrote in another message a few days ago that they probably wouldn't say that word on TV & in the same message, it occurred to me that it should be said! This guy is a murdering racist & TV should not be trying to hide that ugly racist slur!! They shouldn't try to protect this guy's offensive language, they need to expose it for all the world to see!!
