21. sometimes you just have to pint out the aburdity

Political correctness/Willful ignorance has run amok when truth and insight such as Bashir pointed out is not allowed. I thank Bashir for telling it like it is. I believe he is a great asset to MSNBC and must continue to explain the absurdity of charges against democrats and the president from the right wing. I recognize that many would rather avoid the nastiness that was slavery and see it as just a quaint economic contrivance benfiting everyone's white ancestors but our own who of course could not do anything like that . Lets grow up and listen to Bashir. He is speaking out against evil. And Palin is evil as well as absurd.
Democrats of the third way like Dee Dee Myers tell us that we must use civilized non-inflamatory language to makw our point i a non=emotional way. Where has she been for the last 50 years? appeals to emotion is the only thing that wo0tks. Her smugness and that of many other so callled democrats is what alllows here to avoid the pains of seeing the destitute and the poor as a cause for emoti0on. Shame on those who criticise Bashir for being passionate.
