Touré angered the Romney Campaign. |
Touré, a pop culture analysis from MSNBC and Vibe Magazine made it clear that former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney really swallowed the dog whistle. That has the Romney campaign fuming! The campaign wants to kick the host off the air after this!
Touré made the news after it was reported by Mediaite and buzzed by conservative agitator Matt Drudge.
The commentator is one of the main host of The Cycle with conservative commentator S.E. Cupp, Steve Kornack, and Krystal Ball.
Touré believes Mitt Romney is really pandering to the extremist wing of the Republican Party. After making a fiery speech in Chillicothe, Ohio, Mitt Romney demanded “[President Barack Obama] take his campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”
Touré who is African American and slightly conservative stated this issue really bothered him.
"You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ''otherization,'' he’s not like us."
“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ''niggerization''! You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear."That's riled up the conservatives. Mediaite has the clip of the exchange between the commentator and S.E. Cupp. But the most disturbing is the comments. Since this was a link from The Drudge Report, his readers are lockstep in their word salad of hate. The conservative word salad will include either an insult on Touré, President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden or the Black community in general.
The Republicans are having trouble trying to win over Hispanics, Blacks and non-White voters. The president carries a 3:1 ratio when it comes to this block. Mitt Romney carries the White male vote overwhelmingly. President Barack Obama can achieve mainly 40% of the White vote.
Older White people are more likely to harbor bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings. White conservative males are by far the most pessimistic voting block this year.
They're usually the ones who are angry about the struggling economy, illegal immigration, Black crime, and the president's race and his policies.
The exchange obtained by Mediaite has gone viral. Portion include, Touré denied calling [Romney and the Republicans] racist. This comment angered S.E. Cupp.
She stated to Touré: “Certainly you were implying that Mitt Romney and the base will respond to this dog-whistle, racially-charged coding, and hate Obama, the angry black man?”
“Absolutely,” he replied.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have dog whistled to the angry White conservative voter. They deny they've done it but a recent ad released by the Romney Campaign saying the president is a "sugar daddy" to welfare recipients. |
“This is not a revolutionary comment,” Touré later said. “This is a constituency all-white party that rejects the black vote.”
“You have two white guys in Joe Biden and Mitt Romney,” Cupp clarified. “Joe Biden made the overtly racial comment and has a history of making bigoted remarks. Mitt Romney was responding to the comment. Yet he is the one responsible for the whole Republican history of racism in politics?”
“That’s not what Touré is saying,” co-host Krystal Ball interjected. “You’re twisting his words.”
“No, he can speak for himself,” Cupp shot back.
“He’s using the playbook Republicans have been using for decades now,” Touré concluded.
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will cover this controversy. I will assure you! But the point of this matter is how much Mitt Romney despises the media, in particular MSNBC.
Romney can't take criticism. He can't handle the pressure. He attacks President Barack Obama for being hateful and divisive. Yet, he's allowing Sean Hannity, John Sununu, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Nugent, and Jon Voight say nasty things about the president. He allows a woman to call the president a "monster" in front of a crowd.
President Barack Obama is feuding with Fox News, but yet he manages to go on The O'Reilly Factor or Special Report with Brett Beier. He knows the network supports Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.
They were attacking him for shutting out Fox News. During the 2009 debacle with Fox News, then White House communications adviser Anita Dunn famously declared that the network operates as a research arm of the Republican Party.
Fox News continues to agitate stories that paint President Barack Obama, Muslims, Hispanics, and the Black community in a negative light.
Before I go, I want to share with you the comments section of a linked story. Mediaite has closed off comments after finding racial slurs in the comment section. Most supporters of Barack Obama said that Romney should get over it. Most supporters of Mitt Romney have stated that the president and his progressive allies are the real "racists".
