MSNBC Host: Michele Bachmann Voters Are Stupid… Cuz They’re White (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 11:05 AM
Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday accused people who voted for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) of being “shockingly ignorant,” and said one of the reasons was because her district is 92 percent white.

O’Donnell: Perhaps all of Michele Bachmann’s staff come from her district, which may be the most ignorant Congressional district in America. In 2010, 52 percent of that district voted for Michele Bachmann to represent them in Congress. Now, she had already proven time and time again to her district and to America that she is unworthy of representing any Congressional district in America. But 52 percent, the same percentage in that district who voted for John McCain for president, voted for Michele Bachmann in 2010….

These progressives are trying to Palinize Bachmann, they are terrified that is running for president. She is the Tea Party favorite and will get my vote in 2012.

Who is Lawrence O’Donnell and why should his opinion count for anything?

maybe she should play golf all day and then party at night and then roll out her “b-board” brackets for March madness.
yep. that’s what all the cool kids do.
Sally commented:
At least she didn’t say she’s been in all 57 states.
DanO commented:
I wonder if all of MSNBC’s all white lineup feel this way, or is O’Donnell’s self-hatred truly self-contained?
freedm_fighter commented:
and if a Republican had said ….
” Barack Obama Voters Are Stupid… Cuz They’re Black” ??
Sigh, identity politics never ends for those on the Left. It’s not about fundamental ideology differences between groups of voters, but it has to be about race.
retire05 commented:
Perhaps someone can ask that dimwit about the Congressional districts in Wisconsin since the whole state is 91% WHITE. Only 4% of Wisconsin citizens are black and most of them are concentrated in Milwaukee, yet, the population there is overwhelmingly WHITE.
But hey, let’s not point out the fact that most of the Fleebagger 14 come from almost TOTALLY WHITE districts. That doesn’t fit with the agenda.
VirtualCommenter commented:
Jim, Do you have to give this guy a forum? If you watch him, you double his audience. Any controversy his show can generate makes him look like he has an audience. Not likely, unless you can pick one up at Walmart.
Rock commented:
In a sane world, O’Donnell would be in jail as a traitor to the Republic. As for Bachmann she has my vote. Her and West would make a great team no matter the break down. Palin is a huge attraction for Conservatives and a major money generatort. In a few more years she will have enough experience to counter any claims by the Left of not being qualified. As for the good old boys of the GOP they allowed this disaster to materialize, and should not be awarded with a run for POTUS.
Oh big fat ZERO’Donnell, what would be your excuse for VP Biteme?
retire05 commented:
Oh, and remember how the left wailed that the TEA Parties were mostly white. And they mentioned that the protests in Wisconsin were primarily WHITE at…………………….

Sorry folks, I should have used the word “inferred” and not the work “said”. It wasn’t a quote, it was an inference by O’Donnell.

He’s still mad because of all those white people that did all that rioting down in New Orleans after Katrina (they’re probably going to all go over to Japan now and continue their rioting there). Yea, white people are stupid… right.

If 92% white proves O’Donnell’s point that Bachmann’s constituency is stupid, perhaps he should consider the ethnic makeup of his co-workers.

Espousing mass hatred of large sections of the population is exactly why msnbc has no ratings.

Well, using Lawrence O’Donnell “logic” then he is responsible for the Radiation leaks, deaths and pain and suffering in Japan since he works for MSNBC which is owned be GE which built quite a few of the reactors over there – Lawrence O’Donnell
is a murderer if we use his “thinking”, which of course is stupid.
Marmo commented:
It was’t all that long ago that the media were all up in Sarah Palin’s face when she said the TEA Partiers were gonna party like it’s 1773. They couldn’t for the life of them figure out where the date 1773 came from. Yet it’s a “simple U.S. history fact” that the original Tea Party occurred that year.
Just the normal hypocrisy coming from the media.
texabama commented:
Hate to break it to O’Donnell but in a representative democracy you kind of expect the representative to mirror the constituency.

Another stellar example of Democrat intelligence.

RedBeard commented:
O’Donnell is a flaming idiot, trying to paint someone else as an idiot. Sorry, Larry, that won’t work. You need some shred of credibility yourself before launching such an attack.
Bachmann does mess up a few facts now and then, and the Lexington and Concord flub was unforgivable. But Bachmann’s comments on slavery were not far from the truth, despite Screaming Larry’s rantings.
Bachmann mentioning John Quincy Adams by name as a Founder who worked tirelessly agains slavery. This is absolute undisputed historical fact. Also fact is that George Washington saw slavery as a terrible evil, and freed his slaves. It’s a fact that Thomas Jefferson tried to include a condemnation of the slave trade in the Declaration of Independence, but failed only as a compromise had to be reached with some of the southern delegates to the 2nd Continental Congress. It’s a fact that John Adams and John Quincy Adams worked for, and saw, the abolishment of slavery in Massachusetts shortly after the Revolution.
And another thing, Larry; take your overt racism (yes, that’s what it is, you loudmouthed putz) and stuff it. If you really want to advance your leftie cause, you’ll have to do better than that. Much better.
And finally, Larry old boy, stop trying to out-Olbermann Keith Olbermann. It’s not working for you. You don’t have the talent. You aren’t half the braying jackass that he was, despite your best efforts at braying jackassery.
Beachluver commented:
Larry the Socialist has to REALLY REALLY pound on Bachmann to make her look bad and stupid….she found that 105 billion dollars hidden in healthcare……as all MESSNBC slime they have their whitehouse talking points to follow…discredit her and Palinize her is his mo.!!!

bachmann flubbed a simple fact? obama does that on a daily basis. how does this racist keep his job. if he ever said anything like this about black people he would be fired in a new york minute. it goes to show what a double standard the management at MSNBC has and what a bunch of anti-white racists they are. boycott their sponsers.

Who is this guy? I couldn’t watch it much.
More white hate from racists.
They are afraid of Michelle.
She made one gafee and they go bonkers but the POTUS and VP make several gaffes on daily basis and no one makes a peep about it.
What’s wrong with this picture?
archer52 commented:
Does he say the same thing about Shelia Jackson Lee? Obama (who is arguably the dumbest President we’ve had in the area of history and economics). Biden? Durbin? Schumer?
O’Donnell is what communists called “a useful idiot” and usually the first they put a bullet into when they seize the government because he is a risk to their keeping secret their crimes.
archer52 commented:
O’Donnell is our generation’s Walter Duranty.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty
I shot off a quick note to his show stating simply if he were to work catching liberals in the same gaffs and lies I wouldn’t blink. But that isn’t is role.
Idiots come in all shapes and sizes.
decentAmerican commented:
but, but, but….Mr. ODonnell, you seem to think that judging someone by one comment is appropriate, what about the complete morons who voted for the Narcissist in the whitehouse, someone who thought that that we had 57 states….a complete and utter moron with no knowledge of US Geography…..are they not morons too?
What Mr. ODonnell, a double standard?
MSBNC…please tell me….are you just this stupid for continuing to employ Mr. ODonnell, Mr. Matthews, and Ms. (Mr?) Maddow, or are you really really really trying to fail?
Roger commented:
This guy is an idiot. When have you ever heard a liberal know history? Our founding fathers struggled with slavery and Lincoln was a not an abolitionist.
brian55402 commented:
Jim Hoft– How do you get away with flat-out lying as you do in your first paragraph?
Yes, O’Donnell states (about 4:40 in) that 92% of the voters in Bachmann’s district are white. But his very next sentence is, “But that explains NOTHING.” And he goes on to illustrate this point by mentioning that a fellow Republican Congresswoman in Missouri’s district is 91% white, but that there have been absolutely no gaffes coming out of that Congresswoman’s office– at ALL.
Seriously, how do you get away with it?
RedBeard commented:
Brian, perhaps you would be so good as to explain why Screaming Larry brought race into this in the first place.
brian55402 commented:
RedBeard– that’s a valid question, though it doesn’t in any way address Jim Hoft’s fundamental deception in his title of this post and the repeating of it in the first paragraph.
I can’t honestly say that I know. Maybe it was an attempt on O’Donnell’s part to get that particular question out of the way, knowing that various conservative bloggers– if he did NOT actually bring it up– would accuse him of implying it by its very absence? He handled it quite well, too, by immediately pointing out the Republican Congresswoman from Mo.– whose constituents’ racial profile closely mirrors Bachmann’s– who hasn’t committed any factual gaffes or misstatements.
There you go. I answered your question. Wasn’t that good of me?
Unfortunately, still waiting on Jim to respond to my post.

Let’s face it everybody, Bachmann is plain stupid and ignorant. Have you heard the sh!t that comes out of her mouth?

Speaking of ignorance, this must be the asinine ass-kissing statement of the year: “Barney Frank’s intelligence and expertise in public policy, not to mention his wit, is second to none in the House of Representatives.” Lawrence O’Donnell
Mr Freeze commented:
This country is more divided now that Obama has won the presidency through his gifted lying. With Obama always playing the race care and identity politics I would say that he has made the Bush years tranquil in comparison.
There is something so very wrong with the thought process of a progressive. They are vile, violent, and maliciously destructive when they don’t get their way.
I don’t see any natural harmony in the future. I think something drastic is going to have to happen to the progressives once and for all. I’m not talking violence, but such a sounding defeat at the polls that it will have them out of office for 80 years — where they won’t be able to destroy the country anymore than they have in the years leading up to the next election.
However, that won’t stop them squawking when they are out of office, but at least they can’t do all that much damage.
Then some laws need to be passed. If the leftists want to side with known terrorists who claim they want to destroy America then I think it is long past the time when the rest of America stands up to those traitors.
In case anybody thought I got off topic – let me say that O’Donnell is a gas bag who constantly makes excuses for those who really do want to destroy our way of life.
And a shout out to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann who is at the forefront of fighting all those loons.
southermanau commented:
Anyone care to bet on a Palin/Bachmann ticket for the next presidential election? Obama would take it going away. The Dems would love that scenario! The word “stupid” was not mentioned in what I read that O’Donnell said. Apparently ignorance abounds in more places than Bachmann’s district.
Anyone care to make a guess what our country would look like if “W” followed himself for another term? Talking about real disaster!!!
southermanau commented:
Does anyone here know the difference between “ignorant” and “stupid”? The difference is quite substantial!
RedBeard commented:
Anyone who believes that Barney Frank is anything but a fiscal idiot really needs to have his head examined. Has Screaming Larry honestly not paid the slightest attention to Frank’s role in the financial meltdown, or is he simply lying? Either way, he fits right in at MSNBC.

Gary J commented:
sorry to interrupt the orgy of hatred, but Democrats not afraid of Michele Bachmann — even if she had the intellect and appeal to get the nomination, there’s this little problem:
James Garfield – the only sitting Congressman ever elected president, as well as the only minister Unfortunately, he was assassinated after just six months in office.
James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831–September 19, 1881) was a major general in the United States Army, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the twentieth President of the United States. He was the second U.S. President to be assassinated — Abraham Lincoln was the first. Garfield had the second shortest presidency in U.S. history, after William Henry Harrison’s. In office for six months and fifteen days, President Garfield, a Republican, actually served for less than four months before being fatally shot on July 2, 1881
Benjamin commented:
Why is it that you trust Michele Bachmann to tell the truth about history and about the facts when she’s shown through many various interviews that she doesn’t know her butt from a hole in the ground. She’s an extremist and looks like she’s in a trance much of the time. You guys enable this freak to continue on with her charade and her obsession with power. She’s a total nut. You need to wake up and find a different candidate who is smart and who can win outside of her district. She’s viewed as an extremist and insane by most Americans.
Benjamin commented:
I hope Bachmann gets the GOP Presidential nomination. President Obama will trounce her in the general election and the grease spot that was once Bachmann’s career will have to be cleaned up while her constituents wonder what happened. It’s obvious that most Americans (the swing voters as well) can’t stand religious extremism.
Chisum commented:
Yep, that Bachmann is so dumb! Remember when she told us that we we could solve the energy crisis by putting more air in our car tires?
…..Oh…wait…..
