Lawrence O’Donnell Gives Gov. Christie Standing Ovation For Muslim Judge Defense

video
» 130 comments

Lawrence O’Donnell has never been much of a fan of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for myriad political reasons, but today he had to put that all aside. Noting that “Ann Coulter‘s favorite presidential candidate who isn’t running for president” could never get elected because he’s “a little too New Jersey” for Republican voters, he found a new reason why he’d never win a primary– one that won him the program’s first full staff standing ovation.

O’Donnell noted that Gov. Christie would likely never be president. “He won’t get it this time, of course, because he’s not running.” He won’t get it next time, he argued, because his attitude was too “New Jersey”– meaning abrasive and curt (but, we Jersey folk assume, in a good way, right?) He then showed a clip of him telling a constituent that where he sends his kids to school is “none of your business.” “That’s just a little too much New Jersey for polite Republican primary voters,” or, he added, “really anywhere outside of New Jersey.”

But the “New Jersey” attitude wasn’t the only nail in Christie’s political coffin. To O’Donnell, Gov. Christie’s statements calling fear of American-imposed Sharia Law “crazy” was just “way, way, way too reasonable in his defense of a Muslim judge he appointed.” “Being reasonable about just about anything,” he argued, “is the road to nowhere in Republican primaries.” Since “we know the guy cares about his political viability in the Republican party,” O’Donnell fully expected his answer to include at least one caveat to his opinion to keep him in the clear. It did not. The governor even admitted that some Muslim Americans were inappropriately detained after September 11th, something that, according to O’Donnell, “no Republican wants to admit ever happened.”

Coming from a Republican who, in O’Donnell’s view, had every political reason to feed the fear of Sharia Law that inhabits parts of the right, the answer to the press defending his new judge was extraordinary enough to merit him the first standing ovation of the program’s history– something O’Donnell later told Rachel Maddow he expects Gov. Christie not to earn again, but O’Donnell could not deny it this time.

    I doubt it. One of the reasons Nixon lost was the disastrous debate in which he had noticeable beads of sweat above his lips, at his temples and down his chin. Bads. Can you imagine how profusely Christie would sweat in an outdoor rally in Jacksonville, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix? He’s no concern in 2012. He need several years to shed the rolls. Remember all the weight Huckleberry lost before 2008? Of course, he’s porked up again. Chrisite is a strong enough man to cut back on the Pizza Quatro Frommage a  la Mode and make a presentable candidate. In due course.

    Now, on a personal note, my sincerest condolences to you over Mr. Jeff’s quick conviction on all counts. I need you must be in terrible pain.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Nullify is too strong a word. Ameliorate is better. So, I agree with you to an extent. The difference between Christie and Willard is a bit more honesty and authenticity. The difference between Christie and a Mad Michelle or a Half-Baked Alaskan is the absence of the social conservative krap. It’s been clear for some time that Democrats can respect and support a Republican who doesn’t roll around in this krap, and independents certainly can. The Republicans, fiscally conservative Republicans, could have made great strides during the last couple of years had not the T-Partee Terrorists, running on a limited government platform, supposedly, hadn’t moved social conservative issues to the forefront. By and large, Americans just want to be left alone. The TPTs are far too in your face with the sanctimony which so often seems to be little than bald hypocrisy (supporting family values whilst not paying child support or whilst in a diaper int Room 4 at La Bourdoir Rouge), being overtly racist, &c, &c. Everyone has faults. Politicians, more than most. T-Partee Terrorists, more still.

    Your’re either for freedoms granted you by the Constitution or your against America. His Religious background has nothing to do with his appointment as an American for American law.

You tell’em Christie!!  Nice applauds to all…

  • Ganymede

    By all accounts Christie is a bullying, opportunist politician, but, unlike virtually all mainstream Republicans, he lives in the real world. As the former US Attorney General for New Jersey he is intelligent and was relatively uncorrupted by the Bush regime who appointed him as the AG. He ran for Governor as a Republican in the same fashion that Bloomberg ran for NYC Mayor, because he wanted the job and knew he could never crack the Democrat Party. It may sound off the wall, but he is capable of switching to the Democratic Party at some point and running for President. He could get away with this in New Jersey where both the Republican Party and Tea Party are relatively weak.He only got into office in 2010 because of the irrational anger directed at most incumbents, including his predecessor, Gov.Corzine. I’m sure that many people who voted for the Tea Party type Republicans are having voters remorse for letting these fools come in and try to wreck the government. He’ll never get anywhere in the national Republican Party and he knows it. An interesting guy even though Ann Coulter likes him. From all accounts she’s a complete phony who doesn’t believe half the stuff she says.

    they really don’t care about the debt.  they only really care about traditional

    but there are other types of people on the field now.  and that’s hard for them
    to accept.  they hate the united nations; they even hate the world cup; they hate
    rap music (even a tribe called quest, the greatest rap group ever); they never
    smoked weed, or even if they did, they didn’t really get high and/or enjoy it.

    basically, they hate change, and they fear evolution. many of them
    don’t even believe in evolution.  nothing has really changed 
    with these people.   in the 60s, when i was growing up, the conservatives
    were exactly the same as now, except they never worried about the national
    deficit (obviously because our president(s) had way higher taxes)…..

    Maybe O’Donnell is trying to make an analogy of why reruns beat him in the ratings: it’s because his show is so good. It’s classic liberalism: failure equals morality and success, success is an immoral form of failure. We’re not talking about the cultural tradition where an elite group talk about consumerism being shallow and people who like an unknown rock band as the “real” cognoscenti with “real” values but about something else entirely – an example of doublethink by the Left in America.

    Get yourself a Haitian citizenship and your moral compass becomes more clear, as is the case with the less you earn. Stupid, blind, childish,morons would be appropriate. Gays, women and minorities automatically occupy the correct moral side of many arguments in America today – automatically. All things being equal you’d expect one case of misandry for every one of misogyny but the former is nowhere to be heard and the latter taken for granted in society. MSNBC is too good for the proles yes but aside from that it’s just too good, as in the angelic sense.

    Presumably when O’Donnell is fired he’ll have a party and give a teary eyed speech in front of friends and family about being at the apex of his career. In this sense, with the election of Obama, America is at the apex of its “goodness.” Hey, look Spain! Did you see that. We elected a black guy as President. We’re not racist anymore – it’s official. Well, I mean the ones who voted for Obama aren’t. The rest are still a pack of Nazi, racists by default.

    Mentira! Obama es un mitad blanco. Va pesce!

    And to the haters here that try to present this as a defeat of liberals (wtf?) – it just shows that you feed on dividing us all.  This was clearly a cross-over moment.  A show about a politician doing and saying the right thing.  Not the right thing for Dems or Repubs but the right thing from a rational, humanistic and pragmatic viewpoint. 

    Reasonable people agree with him no mater what party if any party at all.  And that is toxic to dividers.  Look at the comments and they jump off the page.  Lawrence is nuts; Christie scares the liberals (and uglier comments) made by persons whose only interest is crushing the fact that we all share common ground.  That common decency is something most of us share but that should never be used to unite us. 

    I submit that those of you that deny such a moment of agreement between rational people regardless of party do not want unity – you rail against it.  Unity offends and frightens you.   Because the more people speak out honestly (as Christie) the only divide that grows is the one between good people and you.

    Fact: Christie is being puppetboy by his choice.
    Koran 17:16-17When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet transgress; so that Allah’s word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly. How many generations have we destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note and see the Sins of his servants
    Here Allah, the God of the Muslims is clearly stating the exact method that he adopts when he commits genocide of an entire POPULATION. And why does Allah decide to destroy entire populations? Simply because they don’t believe in Allah and so Allah will kill them all, to take revenge. Next Allah is indulging in an unbelievable display of conceit. He is actually BOASTING about how many generations he has destroyed after Noah. If Allah had a list of his merits, no doubt genocide of numerous generations of people would top his list. Allah enjoys watching the annhilation of thousands of Non-Muslims at the hands of his pious followers, the Muslims.

    Fact: Christie is a puppetboy for his choice!

    Koran 8:37In order that Allah may seperate the impure from the pure, Put All the impure ones (Non-Muslim), one on top of the another in a Heap and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost
    The “All-Merciful Allah” is now specifically instructing all “peace-loving Muslims” to heap up a mountain of corpses of the non believers. Of course, in order to do this holy task for Allah, the Muslim must first go out and attack innocent Non-Muslims and massacre them so that Allah’s wishes are fulfilled. Allah seems to have an inexhaustible thirst for the blood of innocents. Note that the reason given to massacre non-believers is that “Allah may seperate the Impure from the Pure”. It has nothing to do with self-defense or protection as Muslims try to argue. The explicit purpose for this heinous crime is so that Allah can easily differentiate between the Muslims and Non-Muslims. This way it becomes a lot easier for Allah and his angelic helpers to dump the heaps of murdered Non-Muslims into Hellfire.

    Fact: Christie is a puppetboy for his choice!
    Koran 21:11How many were the populations we utterly destroyed because of their inequities, setting up in their place other peoples
    Again Allah is boasting about his amazing exploits such as genocide and displacement of innocent people. The justification for this crime is that these innocent people had “inequities”. Apparently any community which is not Muslim is full of inequities by Islamic definition and therefore fair game for all pious Muslims to massacre and plunder.

    Fact: Christie is a puppetboy for his choice!
    Koran 58:5Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be crumbled to dust, as were those before them: for we have already sent down Clear Signs and the Unbelievers will have a humiliating Penalty
    Those who resist Allah and His Messenger” obviously refers to anyone who is not a Muslim. Therefore every Non-Muslim must be crushed to death by the holy edict of Allah. No doubt it was this very verse which must have served as a motivation for those pious Muslims who bombed the World Trade Center. Allah must have been extremely pleased to watch all those innocent Non-Muslims being crumbled to death.

    Fact: Christie is a puppetboy for his choice!
    Koran 58:5Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be crumbled to dust, as were those before them: for we have already sent down Clear Signs and the Unbelievers will have a humiliating Penalty
    Those who resist Allah and His Messenger” obviously refers to anyone who is not a Muslim. Therefore every Non-Muslim must be crushed to death by the holy edict of Allah. No doubt it was this very verse which must have served as a motivation for those pious Muslims who bombed the World Trade Center. Allah must have been extremely pleased to watch all those innocent Non-Muslims being crumbled to death.

    Fact: It continues to be a fact!
    Peace is Muslims creed?
    Koran 2:39Those who reject faith (Islam) and belie our signs, They shall be Companions of the Fire and abide in it.

    Koran 2:89-90The Curse of Allah is on those without faith (in Islam) Thus have they drawn wrath upon wrath on themselves and humiliating is the punishment of those who reject faith (Islam)
    etc etc……

    Fact: Not a hater,  just being real not blinded by stupidity!

     Well done Christie. 

    And to the haters here that try to present
    this as a defeat of liberals (wtf?) – it just shows that you feed on
    dividing us all.  This was clearly a cross-over moment.  A show about a
    politician doing and saying the right thing.  Not the right thing for
    Dems or Repubs but the right thing from a rational, humanistic and
    pragmatic viewpoint. 

    Reasonable people agree with him no mater
    what party if any party at all.  And that is toxic to dividers.  Look at
    the comments and they jump off the page.  Lawrence is nuts; Christie
    scares the liberals (and uglier comments) made by persons whose only
    interest is crushing the fact that we all share common ground.  That
    common decency is something most of us share but that should never be
    used to unite us. 

    I submit that those of you that deny such a
    moment of agreement between rational people regardless of party do not
    want unity – you rail against it.  Unity offends and frightens you.  
    Because the more people speak out honestly (as Christie) the only divide
    that grows is the one between good people and you.

    Now if the judge just blew up something, Barry would give him a standing ovation.

    A strong enough man could quit smoking on a moment’s notice. Those who have no spine, no character, no integrity hide behind made up excuses and depend on being defended by charges of racism.

    You know, like 0bama!

    Would it not be refreshing to see a liberal/progressive/Democrat give as much credit – based on well-earned merit – to any Tea Party member as Governor Christie gave to someone who is percieved to be his political opponent?

    Would it not be refreshing to see, just once, a conservative guest on “The Last Word”?
