Andrea Mitchell called it like it is -- racism.

[gateley]

She said "no White President would ever have been put through this" Gotta give her props -- lots of commentators won't even whisper the word.

1. Absolutely - No question about it - Republican hate & their usual racism

The slimy republicans will deny it till the cows come home but we know ALL republicans are lying hateful greedy conniving mptherfuckers - I'm in a good moody today, so I'm being nice to the fucking arrogant vindictive selfish diabolical republicans.

2. Good for her! I hope we hear more of that from other prominent news figures. It's clear as day. nt.

[tularetom]

3. She'd better be nice to Obama

He's probably the only reason her husband isn't sitting his bony ass in jail for his part in causing the current recession.

Whatever reason, I was happy to hear what she said.

[polichick]

4. So true - her husband is one of many who should be doing time...

Unfortunately our prez seems to think justice is only for the little people.

5. The M$M needs to start telling the truth

they let GW Bush* get away with questions of his Air National Guard service unanswered while the birthers got to run rampant for years. Expose the racists for what they are. :grr:

6. I may be wrong, but I think her first husband was

African American. I think someone wrote about it here on DU when talking about her early years in PA.

[Lilyeye]

7. I read that here as well.

To the OP: When she said it, I was happy to hear it. Andrea isn't one of my favorites, but I appreciate that she called it what it is.

10. I hadn't heard that so I went looking:

Seems he was and seems she adored him. :) The comments say "...he was in a wheelchair by then..." so maybe he died? Makes me want to read her book!

11. I found the DU thread, it was written by PCIntern in 2008:

15. Haha -- I actually found that, too -- on Google! Interesting.

As always, DU is on top of everything! :hi:

16. That's funny!!

8. definitely not a fan of Andrea M, but she did this one right

[opihimoimoi]

9. Racism is now OUT OF THE CLOSET......GOPers are GUILTY

12. In the words of MLK:

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

13. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows this ...

I do credit her for saying it out loud
