MSNBC's O'Donnell Accepts Guest's Bizarre Claim of Racist 'Coded Message' from Santorum
On Tuesday's The Last Word on MSNBC, liberals were once again hearing allegedly "coded" messages. During a discussion of Rick Santorum's GOP primary victories in Alabama and Mississippi, guest and talk radio host Mark Thompson absurdly seemed to suggest that Santorum's announcement speech that he gave in Pennsylvania back in June 2011 contained a "coded message" aimed at winning Alabama nine months later by appealing to racist sentiments.
After host Lawrence O'Donnell asked if he had seen "anything surprising" in Tuesday's election results, Thompson began his ridiculous analysis:
No, not at all. When Rick Santorum first announced he was running for President, in his announcement speech, he was criticizing President Obama for saying America wasn't as great as it was until there were programs like Medicare and Social Security. But in that criticism, he said directly to the President, he said, "Mr. President, America was great before 1965."
Without aknowledging that a number of Great Society social programs were passed in and around 1965, he added:
I called that out as a coded message. You know, I go to Selma every year, and 1965 is a sacred year in the history of this country, and a never-forgotten year in terms of the history of Alabama. When he said that, I knew exactly who he was speaking to in that coded language. So I'm not surprised at all that he won Alabama.
Moments later, O'Donnell seemed to accept Thompson's theory as he asked if there was "another code" in Santorum's criticism of former President Kennedy. O'Donnell:
Mark, before we go to break, another code that I'm wondering about, when he started trashing JFK, that sounded very strange to me because JFK has an 85 percent approval rating in this country now. But is that, was that also coded for the South, for these states?
The left-wing radio host responded:
I believe so. I think much of what he said has been coded for the South, including what he said about us. I'm a blah man. I mean, he says these things, and it gets that message over, and it gets him responses. In terms of whether he can carry it outside of the South, I think that's what Rush Limbaugh is trying to find out for him.

Code?
Mark Thompson, wouldn't recognize a "coded message" unless it was on a menu. What bunk!
What's to admire?
What do these people (oops, is that 'code'?) admire about JFK?
The fact he 'stole' a Presidential election?
The fact he cheated on his wife?
The fact he abused narcotics?
The fact he abused the women he was cheating with?
The fact he used the power of the government to harass and attack his enemies?
Or the fact that he had at
Or the fact that he had at least one of his mistresses murdered.
Liberals (of all races)
admire JFK for ALL of those things. Think of all the things they must have admired about Bill Clinton! He had at least 4 of the 5 things listed above and I wouldn't put him past the first one.
How can liberals says certain
How can liberals says certain words are "coded" if they can so easily decipher them?

Duh! Because liberals are smart and conservatives are stupid! They quite easily break all our secret codes. Darn those super-smart code-breaking liberals!
Here's what they forget..
Here's what the liberals forget, if Conservatives are really just a bunch of dumb, backwards hick, then WHY would our "leaders" use code? We, the un-educated masses, wouldn't understand it!
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution
Unless you're a fetus. The US Supreme Court
Or Anwar al-Awlaki.
Does anybody know what the
Does anybody know what the time-line is for our planned systematic elimination of all Communist?
"I cant tell you"
is the code. You'll have to use your secret Enigma machine to decipher it.
These folks get nuttier by
These folks get nuttier by the day as the Obama polls continue to drop like a rock. They're about four dance steps from casting an evil spell on the American people.
Oh wait, the Obamarats are casting the spell on us now now:
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"--JABBERWOCKY, Lewis Carroll
We're done for! Head for the hills, or vote for Obama to release the curse.
Why bother with MSNBC?
Why are we even commenting on what was said on MSNBC? No one watches it. I'll bet half their viewers are conservative commentators. Maddow, Matthews, Schultz, et al, may not believe it, but the network is totally irrelevant.
This from MSNBC
whose stable of "talent" includes such racists as
"Rev" Al Sharpton
Melissa Harrris-Perry
Jonathan Capehart
Martin Bashir
The Grio.com
Karen Finney
Toure
Eugene Robinson
Clarance Page
Etc...etc..
is there a racist code book ?
I thought all conservatives were ignorant, stupid and clueless? If that's true, how are we supposed to decipher all these codes so that we stay racist ? Seems like an awful lot work to me.

You have to be born in the South
to get one. It goes with the decoder ring and the handshake. Every southerner gets a book and a decoder ring at birth. And a secret code name too. My secret codename is misterbee241.
Forget I told you that.
Gee, I'm having fun with this.
Where's mine?
I was born in AL but almost immediately my parents moved to Denver and then LA. They forgot to give me my book and decoder ring! I bet it's in the trunk where my mom keeps a lot of old stuff, right along side my baby footprints....
new code
Put a semi pretty liberal babe and a bigot on TV and this is what you get. She would have loved to be an intern in the pool with Kennedy. This is what the media has become.
Are you calling
Larry a semi pretty liberal babe? Well, I certainly wouldnt say pretty.
Absolutely barking moonbat
crazy. I wish somebody would let me in on all these codes. Oh wait, I'm southern. I already have them. My bad. They're in my secret decoder ring issued to every southerner at birth. Forget I told yall that.
When this guy visits Selma, does he stop by the grave of that great democrat, Bull Connor?
Coded messages? What is this
Coded messages? What is this some wacky conspiracy theory? Does anybody know about some code book? Or all these codes taught in some dark smoke filled coat room filled with white coats and pointy white hoods? If there where coded messages, the codes can be broken and revealed as to what they really say. But I would not trust a fevered deluded liberal mind.
I've got one that can see!
All the messages are encoded, Mark. Even the images are encoded! It's a part of that alien invasion you were warned about in They Live. For example: here's an un-encoded picture of Rick Santorum!

You know what's strange to me? Claiming a man who's been dead for almost 50 years has an 85% approval rating.
All of the above Mr Obama? --- How about ALL OF THE BELOW, instead.
He's more popular dead
The strangest part is that JFK is more popular dead than he was alive!

I guess when Obama loses in November that will be some sort of hidden code for get the **** out of the White House you socialist loser.
