MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Calls Upon Mainstream Media To ‘Just Stop Playing The Race Card’

video
» 146 comments

Speaking on his program The Daily Rundown Tuesday morning, MSNBC host Chuck Todd issued a challenge to news broadcasters to stop playing the race card in their political coverage. “Can we just agree not to play the race card — at all?” beseeched Todd.

During a panel discussion of Herman Cain‘s outside-the-beltway persona, Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons slammed conservatives for using race to defend the former Godfather Pizza CEO. “I can’t let it pass by that Rush Limbaugh and conservatives are using race to defend Herman Cain, who demeaned the notion of having race even play a part in politics or having to do with his campaign.”

Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh called Politico‘s piece on Herman Cain’s alleged sexual harassment an “unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack” on Cain. “Look how quickly the mainstream media goes for the ugliest, racial stereotypes they can to attack a black conservative,” Limbaugh said.

“It is interesting, these commentariats on the left and right, can we just agree not to play the race card — at all? And when you see it played, it is frustrating,” Todd said.

Republican commentators certainly will question why Todd didn’t raise the subject during the 2008 presidential campaign.

    Funny, I never heard Chuck complaining before Cain got into the race.  Liberals and their minions in the liberal media have used it NON-STOP since the day Barry announced he was running.  This is truly entertaining to watch.

    This is sadly funny.  Now that the leftist media is the one actually being racist its time to stop the name calling.

    Yea!  To think that conservatives were accused of racism when they were simply trying to point out that the President was (likely) a Kenyan-born product of Affirmative Action!  I bet he only got  into Harvard (and graduated with honors, while serving as Editor of the LR) because he was Black!

  • Wow

    Tommy can you here me?

    Michelle – did you hear that Herb Cain was born in Ethiopia and then secretly smuggled into the country, all so that 65 years later, conservatives could nominate him for president?  I don’t know, but I think we’ll have to see his BC.

    MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Calls Upon Mainstream Media To ‘Just Stop Playing The Race Card’

    LOL

    This after such lib staples as Newsweek said if Obama didn’t get elected it meant Ameerica was racist?

    Sounds like the left sees its playing the race card is a losing hand now.

  • D L

    Have you seen the President’s college records? Besides, conservatives were accused of racism for simply disagreeing on policy positions with the President.

  • D L

    The reason Chuck’s saying this is because it’s starting to backfire on the Libs… About time, smh…

  • Michelle

    Are you saying Affirmative Action is racist?  The FACT is, a white Dem with the exact same resume would NEVER had gotten the nom over Hillary and you know it.  Why can’t you just admit it?  Dems saw their chance at a historic candidate and ran with it.  I’m not even saying it’s wrong, but I think it’s weird that you deny it.  And how do you know how he did at Harvard since her refuses to release his transcripts?  I’m not really interested in his grades, I think he’s probably hiding papers on the greatness of Communism and such.  It has nothing to do with race at all.

    How is the leftist media being racist? 

    Personally, I withhold all judgment on Cain until I see his Birth Certificate.  Someone said on another story here at Mediaite that they heard he was born in Ethiopia.  The details were sketchy, but it’s worth looking into.

  • Anonymous

    Yeah, because all conservatives did that, right?

    That intimation is almost as asinine as stating that all liberals are trying to claim that Marco Rubio isn’t a natural born U.S. citizen because they’re all racist. The birther issue (on both sides) isn’t race driven, it’s disdain driven. Conservatives don’t like Obama because of his policies and liberals don’t like Rubio because of his policies. Some go too far and make silly claims about a birth certificate. Others go (way) further and write WaPo articles that sincerely (and laughably) question residency.

    I’m sure you can guess which side did what.

  • Anonymous

    I haven’t seen them!  Naturally, not having seen them, I assume that he was only let into Harvard because he was Black and given good grades, again – you guessed it – because he was Black.  Without his grades, we can only assume that Obama wasn’t very smart and didn’t do well in school.  After all, the lack of evidence fully and completely supports my position on the issue.

  • Anonymous

    Don’t think his fellow MSNBCers  are gonna like his plea- expect to see him on immediately “clarifying” (reversing) his position much like David Gregory did.

    Sorry, I’ve never been a birther.  Did you know there are more Dems that  are 9/11truthers than there are Repubs that are birthers?   Which group would you be more embarrassed to be a part of?

    Absolutely hilarious!   Liberals play the race cards literally thousands of times all over the MSM when people had policy disputes with the White House… but now that conservatives play it ONE TIME with Herman Cain we get Chuck Todd pleading “to just stop playing the race card”.  Unbelievable.  Really…. can they not see this?

    She is right and you are afraid to admit it. Barry is an affirmative-action president and his results prove it.

    So now suddenly Politico is liberal? Right. It’s not exactly like whichever Cain opponent fed the story to Politico fed it to Mother Jones. Blaming “liberal media” was predictable, but still nonsense. Hey GOP, look to your own candidates for the source. If Democrats had it, they’d have waited for after Cain was the nominee. This is a rival trying to knock him off.

  • D L

    No, when they opposed his big spending bills, healthcare take-over, cap-and-trade monstrosity, and everything else, they were referred to as “racist,” because the Libs apparently don’t know how to have a philosophical debate.

    Yeah Michelle.   Marco Rubio is everything America used to be and I agree with you, I pray one day he is President. He believes in one working for themselves to make a better life, not living on the govt. dime which is what the present democratic party wants.  Obama talks a good game but it seems he can’t get away from what he truly is.  Lets take one piece of the Obama care bill. A company usually spends about 12K on an employee for health care. Now with OC if they don’t cover an employee the fine is 2K. Now as a business person, i’m thinking I will take the penalty. Now why make it so easy for the employer to not pay; it’s  to get the public to have to buy into the obama plan.  More people on the dole. We can’t sustain his agenda, and he & the dems think raising taxes will cover it. He is by far the worse president ever!!

    I’d bet that exGOPman was NEVER a GOP supporter.  It’s just a load of bull he uses as a screen name.  He’s an Obama lover and probably has never voted for anyone that wasnt on the Left.   He frequents MSNBC and CNN but wants to say conversatives only get their news from Rush.  He’s a typical liberal who thinks that MSNBC speaks nothing but the truth.  Now THAT’s hilarious
