Cain Supporter Mocks Martin Bashir: 'I Have Made It to the Big Time - I Am On MSDNC'

There was a marvelously delicious moment on the Martin Bashir show Thursday when an outspoken supporter of Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's mocked his liberal host saying, "I have made it to the big time - I am on MSDNC. I love it" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

MARTIN BASHIR, HOST: My next guest is a vocal supporter of Mr. Cain. So vocal indeed that some took offense at racially charged comments he made to an audience of supporters gathered for a Cain rally at a Texas dog track.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

APOSTLE CLAVER, RAGINGELEPHANTS.ORG: It's the Democratic Party that's the racist. The Party of the Ku Klux Klan. The Party of Jim Crow. The Party of Bull Connor. The Party of segregation. The Party of the KKK. They are the racists.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BASHIR: And I’m delighted to say that we are joined now by Apostle Claver, founder and chairman of Raging Elephants.org with us from Houston. Good afternoon, sir.

CLAVER: Mr. Bashir, thank you for the invitation. I have made it to the big time - I am on MSDNC. I love it.

BASHIR: Yeah, thank you, it’s not actually that…


Actually, it is exactly that and most Americans except for those on the far-left know it.

Nicely played, Mr. Claver. Bravo!

Yep, most times it's not even too difficult to get the leftist stuttering and stammering and looking like a fool. Conservative leaders should keep in mind that libtards are bullies and bullies crack when they are pushed back. I'm reminded of a recent clip of Frances Fox-Piven, speaking at a University, doing the usual false-demonization of the TeaParty, until her audience showed that they weren't gonna have any of it. Her whole demeanor changed and she backed up in a hurry, she had no fight in her when her premise was not embraced.

Good example & thanks for that.

Need to push back is right. Don't let up & show them they are anti-science & anti-fact, anti-Constitution. Do a JUSTIFIED LOL on them, vs. letting them falsely accuse conservatives of errant charges. Keep them on the run & show why they are the ones who need to change their mind based on facts and not their self justified feelings.

Reading "Demonic"

Submitted by JeffC... on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 6:47pm.

I'm past the French Revolution and I'm on the part about the Democrats taking advantage of and taking control of the mob. He's right--the Democrats were and still are the racists. For those tired of their leftists claiming that the racist Democrats became Republican, ask them to name two. Strom Thurmond is the one they know by heart, but they can't name another one because there weren't any. Sheets Byrd, Ernest Hollings, AlGore Sr., and all the racist mayors, police chiefs and governors remained good little Democrats, and those in charge of the party kept them in line.

He asked all his supporters on his mailing list for ragingelephants.org to contact Bashir and demand he have Claver on since I believe Bashir has mentioned Claver several times. Claver also urged his supporters to email Bashir and thank him for having Claver on.

This man is working hard. I admire that.

Submitted by djwolf12 on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 8:53pm.

This is a "rare" example of a black conservative going on that network (other than Michael Steele). These dopey tv hosts 99.9% of the time bring on black pundits to push the envelope as far to the left as they can to trash Herman Cain because if they (meaning the hosts) did that they indeed will show this network's 5 viewers how deep their racism truly is.

Pity the poor dumb animals of MSNBC wandering unprotected and unscripted into an encounter with Ann Coulter or Apostle Clavier.

Claver handled Bashir really well. Funny at the end when Claver started talking about how democrats have ruined the black community and the blood of aborted babies was on the congressional black caucasian hands, Bashir cut him off and ended the interview.

Watching Bashir claim that Cain seriously proposed building a moat with alligators in it, when Bashir is fully aware that that was a joke - it is disgusting. Bashir fancies himself the righteous prosecutor (and judge) in these interviews.

Watching Bashir bitch and criticize Claver "What are you doing as a Christian minister, stirring up racial conflict?", it is disgusting. Say what? MSDNC is going to lecture ANYONE's commentary on matters of race, when 25% of their programming day consists of slandering Republicans and Tea Partiers as racists? When they had Obama's back all the way after a small portion of Jeremiah Wright's hateful, bigoted sermons leaked out?

Hearing Martin Bashir quoting scripture and moralizing about "reckless words", when MSDNC has such open contempt for Christians, and uses reckless and defamatory words all day long - you have to be a special sort of craven, remorseless jerk to lecture anyone else.

What jumped right out at me was that Bashir didn't even try to debate Claver on the accuracy of the statements Claver had made about the history of the Democrat party's problems with racism. Why? All Bashir did was try to quote scripture to him - Bashir didn't even try to discredit Claver's claims.

I thought Claver acquitted himself pretty well..
