CNN Panelists Square Off Over Bill O'Reilly's Racist Comments
During another one of the ubiquitous "both sides" panels CNN insists on including on their news shows, there was an interesting and in the end, rewarding exchange between Jeffrey Lord, their contractually paid racist, and Angela Rye, their reality-based commentator.
After playing O'Reilly's comments about the "vast racial conspiracy" Democrats are apparently concocting to end the Electoral College, host John Berman asked Jeffrey Lord to weigh in.
"The Democratic party since its inception has been a party of race," Lord asserted. "This is the party of slavery, segregation, the Ku Klux Klan, racial quotas, now illegal immigration by skin color. They are obsessed with race. This is what they do."
Lord then tried to reinforce BillO's nonsense by suggesting that Democrats are a bunch of latte-sipping elites who don't have a clue about race or anything else.
Watch Angela Rye's face during that little rant. It's classic. John Berman tried to bring the discussion back around to the Electoral college, where Rye educated Lord as best as she can.
"I've asked Jeffrey repeatedly not to use this line of thinking," Rye chided. "I don't know where it comes from."
She continued, "It has nothing whatsoever to do with party. We know that racism in this country is a bipartisan and a nonpartisan issue."
