Bashir Asks Liberal Guest 'Do You Think Herman Cain Can Spell the Word "Iraq?"'

By Noel Sheppard | October 21, 2011 | 17:34

It's becoming clear that MSNBC anchors, hosts, and commentators are allowed to say any defamatory thing they want about the Republican presidential candidates.

On Friday, Martin Bashir asked one of his liberal guests, Goldie Taylor, "Do you think Herman Cain can spell the word 'Iraq?'" (video follows with commentary):

 


For the record, Cain received a Masters degree in computer science from Purdue while working full-time for the Department of the Navy as a ballistics analyst. He went on to be CEO of Godfather's Pizza, CEO of the National Restaurants Association, chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, and has served on the Board of Directors for major companies including Nabisco and Whirlpool.

By contrast, according to Wikipedia, Bashir studied English and History at King's College in London; no degree was listed. He has been a journalist ever since.

Yet he has the nerve to question the intellectual capacity of someone far better educated and accomplished.

Bashir and Goldie Taylor have been making a habit of trashing Cain each Friday. See Ken Shepherd on that.

As I've said before, the more I see of Bashir, the more disgusted by him I am.

being liberals. The more they show who they really are and what they really want....the easier it is for Americans to decide who really needs to be making the hard decisions in this country. Liberals are unconcerned about anything but what they want (right now) and how what is happening at any given moment is affecting their pleasure centers (right now). They lack the ability to think even the simplest idea to its natural conclusion. Jump first, look later....speak first, think later...it never ends with them.

Submitted by Smartypants on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 8:03pm.

This is just bash the Republican tripe. Republicans are ALWAYS stupid; the actual education and background they possess does not matter. What's interesting is that, had someone made a similar claim about Mr. Obama, he or she would immediately be branded as a racist and banished to liberal hell (ignore the redundancy). This further proves the point that liberals cannot be racists regardless what invective they spew towards a minority, particularly if that minority happens to be a Republican.

Is it possible, Mr. Bashir, for you to be any more smug and irritating than you already are? You sir are a cad and more than that an empty suit; a man who abandons his own country to go to another country and cast sarcasm and invective on the political aspirants of a particular party you and your American handlers happen to disdain. Fuck you. You are an uneducated and not very attractive bug with a bad haircut in need of squashing immediately. You couldn't pack Mr. Cain's lunch. Just sayin'.

That was back in the '40s. Everything was fried in lard or butter. Tasted real good too.
You ever listen to french cajun music? I mean the old stuff without drums,amps and such, just accordians, fiddles and guitars. Occasionally a triangle or harmonica. Some of them almost have a hawaiian flavor The guitars are played similar to a ukulele.

Submitted by killa37 on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 11:35pm.

Yeah.........the Hawaiians got around back in those days, and picked up on everything - they're very musical. And I'm sure it went both ways with whatever other musicians they were around. I like that stuff when I hear it. I'm sure you've talked with the lovely Ms. Cajun 2 - she's got a lot of music - even 78s, I think.

The ukulele was actually brought here from Portugal - 'ukulele' means 'little flea'.........or 'high-pitched flea', or something like that. I think they were just like small cowboy guitars, and they got adopted and adapted to the music. The tuning on the ukulele is the top 4 strings of a guitar, but the whole thing is in a different key. I've played ukulele with my friends - you've got to be quick on the transposing, because you're always 4 whole steps above whatever they're playing on guitars - it's good for my little peabrain!!!

So Bashir majored in the English language........ in a country that speaks native English.  The only place where that is considered a major academic achievement is the newsroom of MSNBC.

One of the many problems I have with Bashir is that seem to be just another Bridiot (like Sullivan and Hacker Morgan) imported by mainstream media to spew Anti-American nonsense while enjoying everything liberal America has to offer to such a contradiction. Somewhere, he referred to himself as a "committed Christian", yet his coverage of Christianity and its core beliefs is anything but.

Got some friends that are fags and they say Bashir is really into kinky fag sex, like ropes, chains, and candles up the old backside. And MSNBC, do people actually watch that sickening trash?

I need some help here. This inDUHvidual said that Sarah Palin's tour bus was ILLEGAL because an American flag was painted on the side of it. Meanwhile, he ignores the OWS protestors who have written TREASONOUS things on their flags and defecated on those same flags. A painting of a flag is illegal, but a facsimile of a flag with treasonous comments, that suffers abuses is free speech. This level of mental incompetence should have gotten him fired, for being wrong on the law, and a total hypocrite. Yet there he sits, making his large amounts of money. WHAT is going on?!? Is MSNBC really that insane!!! It is SOCIAL JUSTICE to seize his money and start what ICE, and CIS call a "REMOVAL HEARING"!!!! After all, isn't MSNBC giving a high paying job to a FOREIGNER instead of a US CITIZEN!!!!! The OWS protestors have a new target, the MSNBC offices, for giving ignorant foreigners the jobs that US citizens should get!

All liberals are racists.

Submitted by Alpha Tango on Sun, 10/23/2011 - 4:31pm.

A person who personally attacks a another of a different race is a racist, always. Only liberals do that. Almost all liberals are racists, especially those of color. I agree with Herman Cain, a great majority of American blacks have been brainwashed to support the Democrats. They happily perform on the command of their white liberal masters.

I personally do not know of a conservative racist. Conservatives will debate the issues, not race. Calling a person a racist with no evidence is always in the liberal's playbook.

Bashir is a scumbag racist and this video clip proves it.
