MSNBC’s Tamron Hall goes nuts on Tim Carney over the “Mitt Bully” story
[Posted by Karl]
You see, the Washington Examiner columnist had the gall to not only suggest that Americans care more about the economy than whether Mitt Romney gave someone a haircut 47 years ago, but also to suggest that Tamron Hall was pandering to her audience of dozens by dragging out the story on the pretense of doing the meta-story of how the Romney campaign is reacting to the story which most people do not care about. Actually, Carney was far more polite than that, which did not stop MSNBC from cutting Carney’s mic while Hall yelled at him:
WFB has the full video. Apparently, Hall’s support staff thinks Hall was unequipped to have that discussion with Carney — or that MSNBC is ill-equipped when someone pulls back the curtain on how the establishment media drags out nonstories to suit their biases.
Update: Carney tweets: “The question I was sent for the Romney bullying segment was ‘Does the story matter?’ So I was answering it, not dodging.”

SPQR (871bc3) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:08 pmIsn’t cutting off mics a Bill O’Reilley schtick?
— NO, but if it was would that make it okay for MSNBC to do
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:14 pmIt?
Spellcheck, Karl!
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:14 pmWatch the whole clip, she schooled him…. Just no denying it.
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:18 pmTamryn Hall and Lawrence O’Donnell — a match made in liberal heaven. Can you imagine their dinner conversations? Sitting there complaining about everyone they hate, while simultaneously patting themselves on the back for their über compassion for the downtrodden.
Why, it’s enough to make you lose your lunch.
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:20 pmAlex hearts his leftist memes.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:20 pmIcy (6),
You know, a hint is always nice.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:22 pmAlex, in order to know when someone has been “schooled” wouldn’t you yourself have had to graduate?
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:22 pmSorry I be so blunt. Me feel shame.
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:23 pmI just think it’s funny Ehrenstein has to come here to spam-promote his blog.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:23 pmNot a left or right issue for me. I don’t even know the black lady, I don’t watch tv, and thus don’t watch msnbc. But objectively, she schooled him, made him look stupid, and he was clearly flummoxed….
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:26 pmIt’s easier to school someone when they can’t respond.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:29 pmAlex,
Check the update: He was asked to address whether the story mattered, then got yelled at and silenced for trying to answer. You’d look flummoxed also.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:29 pmKarl,
The only thing I see is the second MSNBC is missing a B, but MSNBC is missing so much already that it doesn’t really matter.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:30 pmBy the way, I like the “audience of dozens.” It never gets old when it comes to MSNBC.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:32 pmGutless call.
CrustyB (69f730) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:33 pmReally? I watched it three times. It looked to me like he tried to go off on an insult the media tiraid and she wasn’t gonna have it, since as she said: he knew the topics, and agreed to them. Plus, it’s not his show.
Looks to me like he knew what was going to be discussed, agreed, then came on and started biatching to the host. She was right, don’t come on then.
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:33 pmI believe it should be “Tamryn Hall” in the headline.
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:33 pmI think we should take Alex’s words to heart. He often sees things that others don’t. It is fortunate he is willing to share his insights. Like Tamron, he schools his inferiors with sensitivity, poise, and uncommon courage.
elissa (00f0b3) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:35 pmIcy (21),
Thanks. Picked up from others’ errors, I’m afraid. Fixed.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:35 pmNot a left or right issue for me. I don’t even know the black lady
— And you are mentioning her race because WHY?
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:36 pmCarney has a longer response here:
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:36 pmAlex,
Again, check the update. He was told the topic was “Does the story matter?” Then got yelled at for trying to explain why it doesn’t. The question inherently addresses the standards of journalism.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:38 pmAlex, objectively, makes things up.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:40 pmMSNBC says her name is Tamron Hall, not Tamryn. Am I missing a joke?
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:41 pm26: so the point is she was lying when she said he knew what the show was about today etc….?
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:42 pmBoy, am I glad my daughter only let’s me watch Disney, Nickolodeon and TeenNick.
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:44 pmOh good Allah
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:44 pmAlex (29),
No it’s equally possible that Tamryn Hall doesn’t actually know what the staff tells those they invite on the show. Or doesn’t understand them if they do tell her. Or doesn’t understand that if you have a guest on to present an opposing viewpoint, it’s unprofessional to shout him down and turn off his mic. Pretty sure that’s the point Ehrenstein was trying to make about O’Reilly, in fact.
Karl (f07e38) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:46 pmNow I’m all confuzzled. Apparently it IS spelled “Tamron” but is commonly written as “Tamryn”, and she either spells it both ways herself or doesn’t bother to correct others. IDK. I’m fast regretting that I brought it up.
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:46 pmAlex,
Is Carney there to perform for MSNBC or is he there to answer questions from the campaign’s point of view?
If it’s the former, then I call foul on every Democrat who appears on Fox News.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:46 pmActually I like things like this, Icy. It’s like online trivia, but I’m sorry if it’s getting on anyone’s nerves.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:48 pm32: assuming he is telling the truth, then;
If she lied that is grossly in fair
If she too was misinformed, she owes an apology on air
But in any case, one more reason not to watch tv
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:50 pm36: “in fair” should be “unfair”
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:50 pmWhat does her race have to do with this, Alex?
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:53 pmI will give Ehrenstein this much: O’Reilly does occasionally shout down his guests, especially when they respond to a question with a prepared ideological statement; but I have never known him to have someone’s mic turned off, and he ALWAYS ends each discussion by allowing his guest the last word.
Do we think that is what Ms. Hall did in this case?
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 1:54 pmAbout what’s expected;
Chtauri minion (1c125b) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:00 pmhttp://newsbusters.org/?q=people/tamron-hall
Please answer my & JD’s question, Alex. Why did you feel it necessary to describe Tamron Hall as a BLACK lady? None of us mentioned it — because it isn’t relevant. She is a liberal MSNBC hack; that’s the only point to be made here.
Icy (12e2a9) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:08 pmA sparkling demonstration of the level of professionalism found at the peak practitioners of journalism in America today.
AD-RtR/OS! (b8ab92) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:12 pmCongratulations MSNBC, you out-did yourself.
She’s more of a light to medium brown, with a hint of pink, actually.
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:13 pmComment by Icy — 5/11/2012 @ 1:22 pm
well, at least attended.

Fixed. Again.
Karl (9c0e1b) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:15 pmIcy: I mentioned she was black to reinforce you are a moron. it worked!
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:16 pmIf one actually watches the video and reads the transcript, Alex’s notion that Carney got schooled, objectively, is absurd.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:18 pmIcy: I mentioned she was black to reinforce you are a moron. it worked!
Comment by Alex — 5/11/2012 @ 2:16 pm
Could you explain the imaginary connection between these 2 things? How does you obsession with race baiting prove what you claim it proves?
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:20 pm48. No, she made him look super stupid. She did.
Now it may have been based on a lie, which is terrible, but he looked really bad. Which is one more thing that sucks about TV cause even if she apologizes, and even though more info is now coming out, most viewers will never know of it. All they will know is he was made the fool.
again, one more reason not to watch TV news at all
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:21 pmWell, Alex, using a racial term about a third person, in order to attack the person you are having a conversation with, is wrong on several levels.
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:22 pm49: it proved JD is an idiot too! Damn I am GOOOD!
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:23 pm51: And i didn’t do that. So what is your point?
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:23 pmNow, personally,
I would like to see all those peeling-bananas-with-their-feet-primates sent back back to Africa, along with their n*****-loving, white, sucka** liberals, but I would withhold that expletive in a polite conversation.
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:26 pmMore fun from Mittens and co.!

JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:28 pmDo I need to explain sarcasm, JD?
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:28 pmAlex is provoking us. Let’s poke him back.
nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:29 pmYou were just channelling Alex. Gotcha 😉
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:33 pm57: Um… OK? I stand up for them? I am not sure what you are getting at. And I am not provoking anyone. Please, especially Icy and JD, feel free to completely ignore my comments and never respond to them. Really. Please.
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:43 pmIt’s bad enough that I have to be exposed to Jay Carney’s incessant lies on TV. Do I have to read his damn tweets too now?
If it’s on Twitter, let it stay on Twitter, among people who care about Twitter, please.
Beldar (2a462a) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:43 pmHowsa bout a story on Tamron Hall bullying her guests?
Comanche Voter (dc4fc0) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:43 pmBeldar,
I think this is about Washington Examiner reporter Tim Carney, not Obama spokesman Jay Carney, but I thought the same thing when I first read it. They really should have to change their names to avoid confusing me like this.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:45 pmBeldar – Tim Carney. Not Jay 😉
We are still waiting for your explanation as to why you felt compelled to inject race into this, Alex.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:47 pm66: I will answer if you tell me why you inject moronity into everything you say… fair?
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:50 pmYou always get crazy when you tune to MSNBC, Bashir,Schultz, Matthews,
narciso (1c125b) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:53 pmI’d like to know the answer to their question, Alex, and then I’ll be glad to address whether I inject moronity into discussions.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:53 pmNope. One is objectively true, you injected her race into the discussion. My moronity is debatable. I would rather be a moron than a dishonest crapweasel, like you.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:53 pmFrom her professional CV–Tamron’s philosophy and motto:
“I provde a welcoming place for all the news on which I don’t turn off the mic first”.
Short of encountering threats or protracted profanity from a “guest” that is a seriously egregious offense for a host to do.
elissa (00f0b3) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:54 pm69: Sorry, no way to answer you privately. Now you will note in 70 JD calls me a crapweasel….. yet he ALSO wants me to do him favors. Now that is just dumb.
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:55 pm“I provde a welcoming place for all the news on which I don’t turn off the mic first”.
LOL
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:57 pmI didn’t call you a crapweasel. I called you a dishonest crapweasel.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 2:59 pmMore accurately, you’re also not provoking anything. Certainly not thought.
You’ve demonstrated yourself incapable of either. Which can be amusing to follow along as you continue to endeavor to do so.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:03 pmI don’t want a private answer, Alex. I want a public answer because your statement was public, and I’d like to know why it’s relevant.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:04 pm76: I will happily answer once JD apologizes and answers my question. Until then, sorry. If this is unsatisfactory to you, please address your concerns to JD.
75: thank you for stating I am not provoking anyone. If you do not find my comments insightful or interesting, there is no need for you to respond to them. Thanks!
Alex (c76e4d) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:06 pmFor everyone’s future reference: Jay Carney usually wears hipster glasses, mumbles and makes no sense, while looking into the camera as if he is a young deer in headlights that is very scared and confused by his surroundings.
Tim Carney knows his subject, can think on his feet, forms cogent sentences and has a great smile.
It is unfortunate that they share the same last name and both have short, common first names.
elissa (00f0b3) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:06 pmI already answered you, Alex. I acknowledged that my moronity was subject to debate. I noted that it is a true objective verifiable fact that you injected race into the discussion where it was in no way relevant.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:13 pmAlex is a spineless dishonest twatwaffle.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:13 pm79: that didn’t answer my question. I asked WHY you inject moronity, not IF. Further, your behavior since now requires an apology. I will await about 30 more minutes, then I gotta go.

@77: No, there’s no actual need to respond to your uninteresting comments. But then, there’s no law against it either.
Pure and simple, Tamron Hall got called on the new Democratic/media complex propaganda strategy. She “schooled” Carney by amateurishly admitting to what that strategy is due to her juvenile need to play “tough girl.” Democratic oppo researchers dredge up old dirt, and outlets like the WaPo and MSNBC will pretend that it’s somehow an issue how Romney is handling these non-stories during the current campaign. Cutting off Carney’s mike was a graphic illustration of this strategy. She isn’t going to let people let her stop talking about Democratic party talking points, or Romney, and instead talk about the issues that matter.
If Romney can talk about the issues that matter, Obama’s toast. The members of his propaganda arm know this, and will carry his water by somehow pretending that Romney NOT talking about the non-stories they intend to bombard him with is an issue.
As a matter of fact, that Democratic strategist (whose name escapes me at the moment and I’m not rewatching that nonsense just to put it in my comment) gave the game away. When he said that every time Mitt Romney tries to talk about the economy instead of the gossip the media is spreading about what he supposedly did 30, 45, or 50 years ago it’s going to be a problem for Romney. They certainly hope so. And that’s going to be the narrative in the propaganda wing of the Democratic party from here to the election. Or until they figure out it’s stupid and not playing well. It isn’t just Carney; when Romney’s in Hall’s “house” (the church of the left wing media in general) they’re going to either make him talk about what they want to talk about (the Obama campaign smear job du jour) as if it mattered, or they’ll cut him off. I.e. do their best not to let Romney get his message out.
Your comments have been so lacking in insight you’ve completely missed the larger point. Tamron Hall yapping like a small safe dog while cutting off Carney’s mike so he couldn’t respond was instructive. But it was no “schooling.”
I didn’t write anything of the above for your benefit. I expect you to keep doing your part by attempting to help the media out; pretend Mitt Romney needs to play into Obama’s hands by talking about nonsense Obama distractions instead of substantive issues. Your comment about Tamron Hall “schooling” was uninteresting and the opposite of insightful, but predictable, and I just thought I’d point out why.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 3:59 pmPoor Steve, missed my later comments where I said she should apologize.
Alex (223691) — 5/11/2012 @ 4:05 pmTake it for what it’s worth, but at age seven I not only didn’t pull the wings off flies I’d have beaten the crap out of anyone I caught doing so.
But by eleven I was pretty handy with a 20 ga. on birds.
What can I say; I still don’t eat flies.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 4:06 pmHow did anyone see this? I thought no one watched MSNBC. After viewing the video I can see why they don’t. She talks fast and loud and over anyone who disagrees with her, just like O’Reilly. Most times, though, O’Reilly is watchable if only for his guest.
Andy (b63f79) — 5/11/2012 @ 4:08 pmI don’t think anyone does watch MSNBC. Except paid professionals, who keep track of the buffoonery for conservative websites. These websites then use the fact they have considerably more traffic than MSNBC has viewers to publicize said buffoonery which would otherwise goes unnoticed.
It’s like the old riddle:
Q: If Tamron Hall spews liberal talking points but it’s only on MSNBC, does she make a sound?
A: Only if some paid critic is keeping track.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 4:21 pmThe contortions, look something shiny, mental gymnastics and other general nonsense wouldn’t be necessary, Alex, if you could just explain why you deliberately chose to inject her race into the discussion.

Why would ANYBODY with any self respect agree to appear on any show on that network?

Colonel Haiku (48ac0b) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:37 pmI just watched the video. Tamron Hall was really quite lovely. But then she opened her mouth.
Dana (4eca6e) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:38 pmAlex,
As you can see by the fact your comment appeared immediately, I already took you out of moderation and I have no plans to put you back in. I don’t regret doing it but I’m too lazy to moderate comments right now and I don’t want your comments to be delayed.
So you can avoid this if you want, but I hope you will honor your word. I would like to know why you identified Tamron Hall by calling her the “black lady” in your comment 14, instead of identifying her by name, as the MSNBC anchor/reporter, or as “the lady.” It seems like an effort to inject race into this discussion, but I’m willing to keep an open mind.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:40 pmjimgeraghty The Post is now reporting that young Romney gave classmates “Indian burns,” but he was taught how to do that by Elizabeth Warren.
Colonel Haiku (48ac0b) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:42 pmWiki informs me,
At MSNBC, Hall served as a general reporter and fill-in anchor, first achieving prominence as a substitute anchor for Keith Olbermann on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Hall then joined David Shuster as co-host of a new two-hour program, The Big Picture, which premiered June 1, 2009 and ended January 29, 2010.
How could she be anything but rude, insulting and dismissive of her guest?
Dana (4eca6e) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:47 pmDRJ,
I had no intention of inserting race, or her race, in to the discussion. I referred to her as the black lady because she is a black lady. Didn’t mean one thing by it. I find it strange that anyone would read anything racial into that, but we live in hyper politically correct times, so if required I shall in future write like this:
“well the black lady (black being only mentioned as an identify as I am either lazy and don’t want to look up her name or otherwise don’t know it, and thus this mentioning of her skin color should not offend anyone, and should be seen only as an identifier of which of the various people I am referring too. However, to assist the hyper sensitive I will admit that I am probably a near Klan member and am enrolling in both sensitivity training and a race and gender class at my local community college immediately.) said she like pizza.”
Further, I have no idea what anyone hyper sensitive would have possibly thought my mentioning of her race would have implied….. I mean, if people are so upset they require clarification, what is it that they think my meaning was, or might have been, that was so negative. I can’t even think what it could be. So can I ask you a question DRJ? What negative meaning or purpose did you think I had (or might have) in mentioning her race? Did you think I was trying to demean her or lower her qualifications or something?
Thanks,
Alex
Alex (569651) — 5/11/2012 @ 5:59 pm“Damn… Carroll Shelby died.
Comment by Colonel Haiku ”
Shelby must have used up at least seven or eight lives. When I was in college, I used to go to rad races, popular at the time. One time we went to the race at Palm Springs Airport, about 1957, Shelby was driving a foreign car at the time, maybe an Aston Martin. As we approached the entrance to the parking area, Shelby drove out onto the city street, still pretty rural at the time, and roared by us at about 150 mph. Pretty thrilling.
The obit doesn’t mention it but I think he had a liver transplant about 25 years ago.
No, It was a heart transplant

Colonel Haiku (48ac0b) — 5/11/2012 @ 6:21 pmAlex,
I don’t know what you were thinking when you described Tamron Hall as a black lady. Maybe it was an unconscious description; maybe you were deliberately trying to inject race into the conversation; maybe you were trying to change the conversation; or maybe you always describe black people by including a reference to their color — even when it’s not necessary.
What struck me as strange is your unwillingness to respond to other commenters when they asked about this. Most people would respond by explaining their reasoning or perhaps by saying “I thought it was relevant” or “I don’t know why I did it,” but it doesn’t seem like a question that would lead someone to avoid it the way you did. That suggests you may be commenting to play games or in bad faith.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 6:25 pmIf Alex had not called Tamron Hall “the black lady” I think everybody would have been hopelessly confused because of all the other ladies in that video, or something.

I’ll take you at your word but for the record, I did not think you were trying to demean Tamron Hall. Us, maybe, but not her.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 6:35 pmBecause you did not stand up for your comment?

Alex (569651) — 5/11/2012 @ 6:40 pm“Us” refers to people who comment here frequently.
Why refuse to answer specific people, Alex? You don’t seem delicate or easily offended, although I think you like to verbally spar with people who antagonize you (as they do with you). But the best way to reach someone online is to talk to them, and I think that’s why I sometimes wonder if you’re here to talk or to antagonize people.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 6:41 pmWe’re just talking here, Alex. Take it easy. Not up to me to tell you how to talk to some dam smart people here, but the way I do it is, “Thank you for correcting me”, “I’m sorry, I was over the top”, F*** you, I said what I said”. Stand up for your comments.

nk (875f57) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:16 pmSimon,
Patterico doesn’t want his website to be an echo chamber and it’s interesting to read different views, so I’d like to encourage Alex if he’s willing to be sincere. Also, in fairness to Alex, it’s hard to continually debate people who consistently disagree with your views. But there’s more and more of the taunting sockpuppet-type comments showing up on the other posts, and frankly I don’t really care for that.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:27 pmSimon,

JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:37 pm“I’ve met nk. What you read is what you get, as far as I can tell.”
Karl – I second that, but I thought you were busy with the cocktail waitress in the back room most of that evening or perhaps I’m thinking of a different occasion.

DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:44 pmJD,
I didn’t mean to imply that your comments or anyone’s are out-of-line, only that sometimes the tone of the sockpuppet comments carry over to comments on other posts. I’m not a fan of that but a lot of people like it, so I accept that I’ve been out-voted on that one.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:48 pmOh good grief, didn’t we all hone in on Alex’s dis ingenuousness about 9 or 10posts ago? And amazingly, he still holds court and controls the conversation. Just throw in a zinger, a sly insinuation, a mocking “who, me??”, and off we go.
In other news, what’s worse: a high school kid behaving badly 45 years ago and now running for president, or a sitting president bullying someone who won’t support him?

JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:54 pmThat story made me want to buy some Melaleuca, Dana.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:58 pmI might be willing to give Alex the benefit of a doubt on his silly sounding explanation if he had not ended it with a question implying that DRJ was a racist. To me, that showed that his intention was malicious in the first place.
Machinist (b6f7da) — 5/11/2012 @ 7:58 pmYou know, sometimes describing people by age, race, gender, etc., is helpful. For instance, here’s how the Village Voice said the NYPD described the assailants in a recent mob attack on two other girls on the NY subway:
Wow, ages and clothing! That’s helpful. That will lead to their identification and arrest. Not. The problem is, that isn’t the description the NYPD put out. As reported by the local Fox affiliate:
Most of the news outlets were too PC to report the ethnicity, thus reducing the value of their reporting to nothing but I’m sure they all congratulated themselves while running down that racist PD that released a racist description that they had to correct.
But on the other hand, when there’s just one woman, and she’s hosting the show, and her two male guests are not even with her in the studio, there’s lots of ways to describe her. As in, “the only woman in the video.” Or even, “the only person in the studio.” Maybe just, “the MSNBC host.”
What could have possibly been the added value in describing her as, “the black lady?” It’s strange that someone would describe here as “the black lady” when she’s the only lady on the screen; indeed the only human being actually in that room at that one location who is in front of a camera.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:02 pmDana – they love using the office of the president to attack private citizens that dare to disagree with them.
JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:03 pmHe’s Nixonian in that regard. And far more effective.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:06 pmI think I’ve said this before but imagine the things we don’t know about.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:08 pmSteve,
I was going to describe Tamron Hall, the *only* lady in the video as the ‘lady in white‘, but then I thought how racist of me to identify her by wearing a white top rather than wearing her black skin.
Dana (4eca6e) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:09 pm162… what DRJ said.

Colonel Haiku (1d0614) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:11 pmDana – they love using the office of the president to attack private citizens that dare to disagree with them.
I think that’s referred to as bullying, JD, no?
bul·ly/ˈbo͝olē/
Noun:
A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
Verb:
Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.
Adjective:
Very good; first-rate.
Shame on you, Mr. President.
Dana (4eca6e) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:12 pmInteresting observation, JD. After all, the Zimmerman hate-crime-fabricators even maliciously edited his 9-11 call to make it look like he was racially profiling young Mr. Martin. Why was he following him? Because he keyed on the fact he looked black, that’s why. And the edited tape proves he’s a racist cracker.
Of course, he didn’t apparently even notice or volunteer a description of Trayvon’s race until the dispatcher asked for it.
But Alex, our resident Zimmerman hate-crime-fabricator, (who believes Zimmerman should have solved his problem by getting his brains beat out on the sidewalk for the sake of the HOA) just gratuitously comments on the race of the only lady on the screen and it’s supposed to say nothing about how he views the world.
Velly interesting.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:17 pmDana – real actual current bullying is not nearly as important as teenage hazing incidents 47 years ago.

Dana (4eca6e) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:27 pmNewsweek was willing to hide Presidential perjury. CBS was willing to use an almost certainly forged document to damage a sitting President. The MSM teams covering John Edwards surely knew he was cheating on his cancer stricken wife even as he was presenting himself as a loving husband (and if they were too stupid to figure it out, his wife knew and didn’t seem to be trying to hide that she knew).

But at least we do it with a smile on our face. Thank you, President Reagan, for setting that example!

JD (e7d387) — 5/11/2012 @ 8:59 pmAny Republican running for office who has – by all reports – lived a squeaky-clean, exemplary, productive life must anticipate a liberal-controlled MSM campaign to destroy his or her candidacy by any means necessary. But we can play that game, as well. We must use our communication talents to return the focus to the important issues and highlight the distractions and idiocy propagated by the Left… through letters to the editor in local newspapers… friendly chats at the watercooler in the office… at church… at the market… wherever.

Pure, unadulterated bovine excrement…
“…The [Washington] Post misquoted one of the main sources for the story. The paper reported that a fellow student had been bothered by the incident for years, but it turns out that he only heard about it this year. The Post, hiding its journalistic misfeasance, made a silent correction to its website regarding this.
The subject of the incident, John Lauber, died in 2004, but his sisters have issued a statement objecting to the story: “The family of John Lauber is releasing a statement saying the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda. There will be no more comments from the family.” Said another sister, “If he were alive today, he would be furious [about the story].”

Just thought I’d give a, uh, head’s up, to use a bad pun.

A Fly sitting atop David Ehrenstein's Toupee at the Obama-Clooney Fundraiser last Thursday nite (0ae97d) — 5/12/2012 @ 9:35 amI would think that Obama’s folks wouldn’t want to go on about “bullying” considering their “Enemies List” and all.
Obama calling for civility is like Dr House calling for decorum.
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 5/12/2012 @ 10:06 amAnd rather than defend Romney, we should be hammering on that enemies list. The wild IRS 403(c) questionnaires to Tea Party groups, the dirt digging on Romney contributors, the libelous attacks on private citizens daring to stand against the President, etc.

Dana (4eca6e) — 5/12/2012 @ 10:38 amAnd I should include this as Patterico is a stickler for including anything that highlights a story or gives the reader more to consider as they weigh out the importance and veracity of an issue.

Comment by David Ehrenstein — 5/12/2012 @ 9:21 am
— Yes. In fact, Patterico singled out YOUR initial reaction to Breitbart’s death in a post about the bitter vitriol that was immediately being spewed in the wake of that tragic event. ’twas not a sign of respect for your opinion, as your opinion deserved no respect.

nk (875f57) — 5/12/2012 @ 11:59 amI met David Ehrenstein and found him to be very likable in person. So I was especially shocked and disappointed when I saw the extraordinarily nasty things he said about my friend Andrew just after his passing. My feeling at the time, having just lost Andrew, was that I never want to see this man or interact with him again. The shock has passed but the disappointment remains. I would no longer be so dogmatic about my reaction but I am still profoundly perplexed by the disconnect between the genteel man I spoke with and the unabashed glee he expressed over my friend’s death. It was as if the Dr. Jekyll I met turned into Mr. Hyde once behind the keyboard. This is a distressingly common phenomenon, of course; people simply treat each other differently in person than they do from the safety of their computers. It tempts one to ask which is “real” — and the answer is that they both are. The bile and nastiness that emanated from Mr. Ehrenstein that day was a real part of him, just as the polite and likeable aspects I saw in person are also a part of him.
And then there are the ways that people distort one’s online persona. Take Andrew as an example of this last: in person a very likeable, unbigoted, funny soul, he is someone who made some careless errors online at times (as we all do), and those errors were seized upon and distorted by a group of haters to transform his image into something he very much was not.
I can only conclude that David Ehrenstein never met Andrew Breitbart in person; that he knew him online only; and that his view of Andrew was greatly affected by the distortions that people used to harm Andrew’s good name.
Which is not to say Mr. Ehrenstein is a victim in this: the truth is out there, and if you willingly subscribe to distortions because they fit your world view, you bear responsibility for that.
When Andrew died I wrote that woman who had wished him death. I asked her, very simply: are you happy? You got your wish.
Her response was about what I expected. 100% self-pity. No awareness of how others were feeling. She said, in effect, I made a mistake; can’t you guys leave me alone. I replied that she had never seen him as a human being, whereas I did; I was going to his funeral that day; he was my friend. I thanked her for her condolences, and then said: “Oh wait — you didn’t offer any.” It was all about her, of course.
Does online discourse remove the usual human inclination toward empathy? Or does personal interaction cause people to fake an empathy they don’t actually feel? Either way you look at it, you can’t divorce what you say online from your self. What you say online is a part of who you are. And what Mr. Ehrenstein said about my friend Andrew revealed a part of Mr. Ehrenstein that was very ugly indeed. Whether I ever happen to see him in person again or not, I will probably never forget it.

Exactly! I’ve been working from my home office quite a bit for the past 3 weeks (not a lot of driving) and after filling the tank on my Z yesterday, I’d swear the price had gone up 22 cents per gallon of premium since my last fill-up.
Colonel Haiku (bd479c) — 5/12/2012 @ 12:19 pmPatterico–in life and in death Andrew was very lucky to have you as a friend.
elissa (8a1786) — 5/12/2012 @ 12:20 pmI’ve decided personal interaction causes people to fake an empathy they don’t actually feel. If that’s true, then how we act online exposes who we really are.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 5/12/2012 @ 12:26 pmNo I did meet him in person, patterico. Two or three times as I recall. I wasn’t impressed but that’s neither here nor there. It was the Shirley Sherrod affair and his determined mendacity concerning it that enraged me.
If there is a “usual human inclination toward empathy” I have yet to see it proceeding from leading Republicans (Mittens being a perfect example) or many of their acolytes.
Breitbart’s death rather surprised me. His drinking and drugging were obvious but clearly he hadn’t taken care of himself physically over the long haul.
I trust you don’t number yourself among those who claim that Obama had him killed by a secret Death Ray of some sort, Patterico.
“And what Mr. Ehrenstein said about my friend Andrew revealed a part of Mr. Ehrenstein that was very ugly indeed. Whether I ever happen to see him in person again or not, I will probably never forget it.”
I wouldn’t expect that you would.
But I seriously doubt our paths will cross in future.
David Ehrenstein (2550d9) — 5/12/2012 @ 12:26 pmWe’re also more consistent online, as I suspect David E. illustrates. That’s why, despite a huge internet and millions of users, it’s possible to run across the same people and actually recognize them.

That kind of comment is just despicable. You say we will likely not cross paths again. That may or may not be true. But I am more likely to avoid you now than I would have been before I saw the awful things you said about Andrew.

And as your date to the Obama fundraiser at George Clueless’ house on Thursday nite, I can confirm the presence of both.
By the way, that photo of you with director Todd Haynes dates back to 2004. You’ve lost a lot of hair since then. And I think your back and shoulders found most of it.
And for an alleged peace activist, you certainly do have a fascination with Scorscese’s violent films.

One of the things the PC movement has affected me is that as a visual person I tend to see colors, shapes, clothing, size, more than others.
I used to tell stories about my day descriptively…but I’d be able to say that I saw this big fat black lady with half her pink sweatpants lost up the crack of her butt was just ripping the skinny white kid with the worst acne ever at walmart a new one, so then his Bangladeshi supervisor came over to help out and then no one knew what anyone else was saying… and yeah I stayed to watch the whole thing unravel because I am a bad person.

David Ehrenstein (2550d9) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:22 pmEnough. I used my hose to wash off an Ehrenstein from my driveway. It’s in the sewer; just leave it there no matter how much smell it tries to send up.
nk (875f57) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:26 pmI understand that Mr. Ehrenstein was quite nice around Andrew Breitbart…when it could benefit him.

Not to mention a contemptible hypocrite, trying to gin up page views.
Simon Jester (40fb51) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:31 pmI just found out the “book” that Mr. Ehrenstein is trying to hawk is a nice analysis of child molester cinema: the films of Roman Polanski.
Too good to be true, huh? I doubt many people are surprised.
Fortunately, it won’t sell many books. Compared to the books written by people he has slandered, anyway.

Apparently recognizing the fact that the President is actively working against the country’s interests and mine and wanting to make him gone as a result simultaneously can qualify as victimizing a man only because of his skin color while simultaneously comprising of a sense of victimhood on my own part in the tiresomely pretentious, self-serving, and unclever world of Ehrenstein and his peers.
Obviously I’m not a victim. If I was, I’d be on Oprah selling my book. Possibly parlaying it into my own show.
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:44 pmDavid the Racist is in a manic phase. Pity.
JD (5cd972) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:48 pm“291.David the Racist is in a manic phase. Pity.”
Breitbart may be dead, but Breitbartism lives on.
David Ehrenstein (2550d9) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:49 pmLet’s play “spot the victim with the martyr complex!”
Whose words were being cited in this article?
If you guessed moi, you lose. Besides, I’ve never talked about him like a dog, not even in private. Now that we all know what talking about something like you’d talk about “a dog” means around the WH dining room table.
I don’t even have a recipe book that talks about Obama “like a dog.”
Steve (90e0d3) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:50 pmI think he is really quite pathetic, JD. And you know he grinds his teeth over things like book sales. He has always been jealous about…well, just about anyone with any degree of success.
You know how you can tell?
He keeps snarking about it. A confident person would chuckle and move on. This less-than-successful pundit cannot be ignored. That’s the worst thing for him. That’s why he keeps posting here.
Fortunately, I think the market will ignore his magnum opus yet again.
And I think it is hysterical that he has written a critical analysis of Polanski. What were the names of those nimrods who kept defending the child molester in the past? Maybe they will buy copies.

Steve (90e0d3) — 5/12/2012 @ 3:53 pmNobody cares what you put in your mouth or your ass or about the color of your skin, ehrenstein. It’s your attitude, unrepentant character assassination, your far-left politics and – for me – your lousy spelling ability.
Colonel Haiku (236838) — 5/12/2012 @ 4:04 pm“296.Nobody cares what you put in your mouth or your ass or about the color of your skin, ehrenstein.”
Meaning of course that YOU do. Typical.
David Ehrenstein (2550d9) — 5/12/2012 @ 4:06 pmShorter Ehrenstein: “Look at meeeeeeeeeee…”
Pathetic.
But here is the best part. If, God forbid, this bit of toilet film were to fall ill, very few people here would applaud that event and get, as Patterico stated in reference to the death of Andrew Breitbart, gleeful about the afflictions or tragedies suffered by others.
I’m still waiting for this jerk to apologize for his claim that drug addiction killed Andrew Breitbart. His venom is still out there, for those of you with strong stomachs.
Simon Jester (40fb51) — 5/12/2012 @ 4:17 pmThis David fellow says “they” find us funny.
This David fellow is, by definition, a craven liar.
This David fellow finds us to be a threat, as do “they.”
Hence, his bitter clinging to this particular site.
My Sharia Moor (32b5f6) — 5/12/2012 @ 4:21 pmNo, Ehrenstein. We don’t care. But your enthusiasm for these bullshit “stories” says a lot about your bigotries.
SPQR (1c49e8) — 5/12/2012 @ 7:08 pm“But I seriously doubt our paths will cross in future.”
Which is what makes your posts so amusing. You talk a big game from behind your keyboard, but even you are aware that you will never have to deal with the fallout of any fight you pick with someone online. Eesh, I don’t know you, but you have all the makings of an infantile troll. You mouth off, lobby insults at others and act as if you’re somehow being clever, yet clearly have more than enough time on his hands to frequently check back on a site you clearly don’t like in order to respond to any comment thrown your way. There isn’t a single person on the Internet that doesn’t act snarky or annoying, but you? You’re a self-deluded know-nothing know-it-all – with the demeanor of a tantrum-throwing toddler whose parents left an unattended computer in the room with. Truly pathetic – a fact you will further verify when you reply to this or any other comment thrown your way.
SpideyTerry (0f5beb) — 5/13/2012 @ 12:02 amMSNBC is following the Obama campaign’s lead – play to the base.
Amphipolis (e01538) — 5/13/2012 @ 12:25 pmClearly. MSNBC exists to follow Obama’s lead. Which is why when Hall pulled that “you’re in my house” homegirl act on Carney, Tim should have said, “Yeah, I know. I saw all the ‘Obama 2012’ campaign posters.”
