Marc Lamont Hill: N.J. Governor 'Too Fat' To Be President
"Leading hip-hop generation intellectual" and frequent pundit show talking head Marc Lamont Hill -- who's always on the lookout for instances of "intolerance" and "hate," and has never let even non-existent instances of "racism" slip by his view -- says he knows the reason why New Jersey Governor Chris Christie won't run for president: He's too fat.
On the Philadelphia Fox affiliate, Dr. Hill said of Christie:
“He can’t win, let’s be honest ... I’m going to say this and don’t get mad – he’s fat. He’s fat for a politician. He doesn’t have the body type to win. There are other issues – look at that!!" (as he looked at a screen image of Christie.)
To emphasize his (supposed) point about "image over substance," Hill exclaimed, “Look at Sarah Palin!”
About two and half years ago, Hill demonstrated his "tolerance" of religious folk when he made fun of Miley Cyrus, calling her "weird" and saying "she's hurdling towards Lindsay Lohan/Britney Spears territory" all because ... "no 15-year-old loves Jesus that much."
It's amazing that Professor Hill doesn't seem to have the sensitivity that he so often demands of others. If he's not constantly attempting to ferret out racism within the Tea Party, he's parroting the usual "Islamophobic U.S." mantra whenever such a controversy arises (like the New York City mosque/cultural center), and defending the hypocrisy of organizations like the NAACP and people like Jeremiah Wright.

Wow, the slight modicum of insight he sometimes provided is so shot to hell by "He's too fat" or the 17 YEAR OLD Cyrus "loving jesus too much"............. bleeping bigoted POS he is.
He is officially a race baiting huckster that might as well stand outside polling places with a bat yelling at the "crackers" but being an educated "one", he lacks the gravitas to pull that off so he is better served by hammering "the man" on the TV Fishizel......................
O'Reilly better never allow this POS on again.
First time I saw this guy was regarding the Duke Lacrosse Hoax
Submitted by TexasMom0517 on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 2:10am.
Mark Lamont Hill wasn't at Columbia then, and he was just a junior grade Al Sharpton wannabe, talking race baiting as he pontificated about the Duke Lacrosse Hoax (at that point, the NBPP, Nifong and the hooker were still calling it a rape and a "hate crime"). Mark Lamont Hill is just one more "professor" who proves the Peter Principle. Fortunately, I rarely see him on television any more.
Hill was on O'Reilly tonight and said that in present-day America, a person is a wheelchair is also unelectable. I can't wait to relate that bit of advice to Greg Abbott, the re-elected Attorney General of the State of Texas! Abbott was paralyzed from the waist down when a tree limb fell on him while he ws jogging. He's an attractive man, with a lovely family, and has been an outstanding Attorney General in Texas.
Put that in your Columbia TEACHER'S COLLEGE pipe and hip-hop on it, "Dr." Hill!

And I believe Christie has lost quite a bit of weight since becoming governor too.

He evidently followed the Gilmore Girls school of thought: if I talk fast enough, it will make whatever I say sound intelligent/witty/thoughtful. When of course the reality is none of the above. I've yet to see him offer an original thought that isn't some simplistic, intellectually devoid variant of a Dem/Obama talking point, so why should he start making sense now?

This is the latest attempt to get out in front of what appears to be growing popularity of Gov Ch and use a cheap, personal & derogatory label to diminish a person's status.
It is the left's playbook of name calling/isolate/personalize. Same as Tea Party - cant win on issues so label them negatively, truth be damned.
If they use a label, they got nothing.

But obviously this guy has never heard of Winston Churchill. Or Taft. Admittedly the gov't is hyping up the fat scare so they can institute new legislation left and right, so fat people are the targets of even more prejudice than ever, but now a fat person can't aspire to be president no matter how good a leader he is? New Jerseyan here, and Christie does a very good job considering what he's working with.

This is PHD analysis..This guy is such an in the tank leftist he wouldn't know objectivity if it bit him on the ass. It's one thing to be smart enough to get you diplomas, but quite another to have enough wisdom to interpret what you have been indoctrinated with. He is a perfect example of someone with an education that vastly exceeds his ability to use it.
