MSNBC's Toure: Romney Engaging In 'Ni--erization' Of Obama

[monmouth]

<snip>

He pointed to a speech Romney gave attacking what he called Obama's "wild" accusations against him. "This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like," he said. "Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago." Touré reacted strongly to this.

"That really bothered me," he said. "You notice he says 'anger' twice. He's really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama. The otherization, he's not like us. I know it's a heavy thing to say. I don't say it lightly. But this is ni--erization. You are not one of us, and that you are like the scary black man who we've been trained to fear."

S.E. Cupp, the conservative on the panel, fired back angrily. She called Touré "dishonest" for saying that Joe Biden's "chains" comments were "divisive" but that Romney was using racial code. "That is so irresponsible, Touré!" she said.

The Romney campaign appeared to have noticed Touré's comments. A spokesperson told Breitbart News, "We are discussing this matter with network executives at MSNBC."

1. romney campaign to MSNBC execs ...

The Romney campaign appeared to have noticed Touré's comments. A spokesperson told Breitbart News, "We are discussing this matter with network executives at MSNBC."

"That N!@@#$ said a bad wooorrrddddd!"

4. watch msnbc fall all over itself, by giving rush and hour

and 1/2 to refute it...Then, jim demint gets the rest of the day.

[treestar]

2. Mittens is insane and deluded

Anyone with the slightest familiarity with Obama knows that "angry" just isn't in his playbook. Mittens is appealing to the base as usual. He may get their votes only. They live in deluded lalala land. There they have their picture of Obama that they have to ignore the real Obama in order to keep up.

3. Cupp is a hack job.. hows that for subtle ?

[flamingdem]

6. Hard to decipher if she's a fake repuke

or just stoopid

10. Isn't she annoying?

Whenever she gives her considered opinion, I turn the TV volume off. Can't stand her. If she were a DU smiley, she'd be this:

12. It's annoying that msnbc installed such a twit for the

sake of "balance".

She's not analytical or considered in her statements BUT she acts like a host and no one can really take her to task.

[ailsagirl]

18. I think she makes herself look foolish

She has that "little-miss-know-it-all" attitude, which is extremely off-putting. I've emailed MSNBC before and told them I thought she was pushy, pouty, and unprofessional. Maybe time to email them again?

19. Good you did, they must have a pile of complaints by now!

Karen Finney could handle that time slot after more practice, perhaps

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

11. She's the young Ann Coulter

[flamingdem]

5. Sometimes I really appreciate Toure

He tends to focus constantly on race but there it is -- he can see the coding

[Whisp]

8. I like him a lot

he can be so aggravating, snarky, abrasive and all that - to the wingers. and sometimes to the left, I hear.

Not many black people have that certain way of saying Fuck Off, Moron the way he has.

I like him a Lot, he takes no ones shit.

7. The attack ad about dumping the work requirement for welfare

Is an integral part of the Ni....zation process.

[GallopingGhost]

9. if you read

how some right-wingers refer to Mr. Obama..."boy", the "Kenyan", and much, much, worse names I won't repeat, it makes it a tad difficult to believe race isn't a factor.

An intelligent black man in the White House. Oh, the unbearable horror. What is America coming to?

[progressivebydesign]

13. and did the MSNBC execs do ANYTHING when Romney's peeps called the President "unamerican"

"not like us" "doesn't have our cultural references" Etc. They sit there doing nothing while Romney and his surrogates have been hammering away at the President from Day One.

And REALLY Romney's spokesperson talks to Breitbart?? How high brow of them. Do they know that most people in the media put them in the news max tin foil category?

[Raine1967]

14. Breitbart News???

The Romney campaign appeared to have noticed Touré's comments. A spokesperson told Breitbart News, "We are discussing this matter with network executives at MSNBC."

Seriously?

This is all just ridiculous. Touré is right about this. Sorry if people don't like the way he said it.

I don't like what Romney is doing... My ears have been killing me with all the dog whistles as of late.

15. Time to launch the "Mormanization" of Mitt

You say "race", I say "religion"...........let's see who becomes scary to the Christian RW lunatics! He's gonna' make THE WHOLE COUNTRY MORMON. THERE WILL BE A MORMON BANGING ON EVERY DOOR (oppps, that already happens). HE WILL MAKE YOU WEAR MAGIC UNDERWEAR AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR CHILDREN AND BAPTIZE THEM TO WORSHIP THAT NY DRUNK GUY WHO LIKED BANGING LOTS OF WOMEN AND TURNED IT INTO A REGIGION..........just saying.....

[meow2u3]

16. I agree

If Rmoney wants to drag Obama's race into the campaign, Obama should drag Robme's religion. What's good for the repuke goose is good for the Dem gander.

[Fozzledick]

17. I think Bain Capital's discrimination against non-Mormon managers is fair game.

It goes not only to Romney's character but also to what we could expect from the Federal government if he were in charge.

[alp227]

20. Toure told the truth. You can tell by the RW panic response!

I've always thought that the right wingers were looking for articulate ways to call Obama the n word. SOMEONE had to call out those passive aggressive racists like that. "N--gerization" = AWESOME
