Finally someone is making some sense. I thought the whole world had gone insane. I don’t know one African American who was offended by anything Hillary or Bill said about race. My African American friends agree that the media has gone nuts and is generating race problems to assist the Republicans in November by getting Obama the nomination. The Republicans need to remember once you open that box it’s hard to shut. It may come back and bite them in the but.

Yes, the youth are being pulled in, but remember they bought out the Hannah Montana concerts in less than five minutes in some areas. It’s that time for youth enthusiam. Unfortunately, in this day and time the media is hyping Obama; he talks good, he looks good, but what else? When his followers have been asked one, repeat one, policy he has stood for they insanely say “he gives me hope”, when policy is explained, they say he wouldn’t of voted for the war. He wasn’t able to vote.

Hillary Clinton is nothing more than a George W. Bush with Tears.

Shame on the Clintons!! Shame on MSNBC!! This is America, and while it’s fine for the Clintons to be offended, that somebody used a term too hip for them to understand, the meaning was clear. It wasn’t wrong. The US gov is not permitted to put a working person out of a job for any reason. Certainly not something so banal as this.

Other broadcasters have used that expression to make the same point, on the same network. Only to it was directed at the other party. Goose Gander thing.

The remark IS deeply offensive because it comes from a reporter and news channel who are supposed to remain UNBIASED in their coverage. This is not the case here. There is an extraordinary bias against Hillary, and Obama is clearly receiving a free ride.

I was wondering why the media hasn’t been talking about Obamas wife saying she didn’t know if she could vote for Hillary if she got the nomation.
‘If Pres. Clinton had said the same about Obama
It would have been “HELL and BRIMSTONE” raining down on him and Hillary from ALL of the Media.
I thought Joe Scarborugh was going to have a stroke when someone disagreed with him that Pres. Clinton had not brought the RACE Issue into the South Carolina race but it was Michelle Obama that first started talking about race.
I beleive Obama is Media genterated by all the media just to have Hillary defeated. All I can say is Be careful what you wish for.

[...] opportunistic, anally-Oprahfied world of modern day American politics, Hillary is intentionally playing the maternal victim and holding Mr. Shuster (and MSNBC, for that matter) to the most literal definition of the [...]

This argument about “pimping someone out” may have somewhat of a generational fault line. Referring to “pimps” or i.e. “he or she is a pimp”, etc. is used in the 18 - 44 demographic primarily borrowed from the hip-hop culture. Look at post 42 which mentions other nominees “pimping” their kids - it was probably unconscious. So what’s the beef? Shuster attacking Chelsea or using the phrase? Should news journalist use it or does it make them look less professional? It probably does, I notice male journalist seem to think they can be more familiar or more informal in that respect. Remember when Anderson Cooper said to Fred Thompson: “What’s up with that?”. As for Hillary, well I recall the media calling George Bush out when his nephew, George P was speaking Spanish to the young ladies and the media suggested he was being used for his good looks and language abilities - it worked! Do I think there is a different standard for Hillary? Yes, I do. However, she claims to have 35 years of experience and suggests she can take whatever comes her way - well take this and move on. What her campaign tried to do to the Obama campaign in South Carolina is ten times more insidious. Now, if someone called Chelsea a “nappy headed ho” well I think there would be an outcry. And by the way , I’m a card carrying feminist!

It was an unfortunate choice of words - and an apology was issued. There are more important things to focus on. The President has to lead in an inspiring manner by his/her actions and words.

If people were so concerned about bias, they should consider Hillary’s close ties and her six years of experience on the Board of Walmart.

Walmart is being sued - the largest class action gender dicrimination suit ever filed - by 1.6 MILLION women workers.

Hillary has said nothing to support the women there and literally done nothing to help the women workers stop BIAS there in 22 years. She remains SILENT and seems more concerned about her 1,600 profitable shares of Walmart.

I want a President who is speaks out for 1.6 million women workers….. not just about her privileged daughter.

Like Senator HRC, I too am a mother and would certainly get offended if a comment was made by anyone, reporters or a private citizen. However she forgets that we live in a free speech society, right or wrong, offensive, derog or not.In fact there are more foul and offensive lanquage in our movies,tv programs, mtv, reality shows and yet no one gets suspended or fired!!I remembered vividly watching Bill Clinton denying the fact the he INDEED did not have a relationship with Monica Lewinsky, then shortly after admitting that he INDEED did have a intimate relationship with her!! He outright lied to our nation, but more importantly to GOD and yet he was never impeached!! Shame on our country or allowing him to still keep his JOB! Although I admire HRC in her courage to secure on the most important Position in our country, I find it very difficult to trust them knowing that her husband will be back in the White House!!

He should be fired. I don’t understand all this Hillary bashing. Bush used his two daughters who are more loose and amoral than any kids in the White house have been. Mr. And Mrs. Clinton should be commended for raising a wonderful, mature, intelligent and respectful daughter. She is an extremely educated person and works at a very good firm, unlike the Bush daughter who are as usual up to nothing earth-shaking and use the power and privilege of their father to sell their books,etc. Kerry used is whole family, Romney used his sons, Reagan used his kids, Bush used his, Edwards used his daughter too. Where was MSNBC when all these men were pimping their kids and wives. I still remember when the going got tough on Bush, he would send his wife, mother, sister, daughter to pimp, I’ll use the word since that is what it was.

I am tired of all this Hillary bashing and Clinton bashing in general by the media. Please put a stop to it, immediately. None of our past presidents have been perfect and the media needs to stop picking sides to get what they want and who they want elected. In my opinion that is the lowest form of reporting when it is so biased.

People from all sides need to rise above it and say enough is enough!
