[VIDEO] Gutfeld: Thank You, Rachel Dolezal

By exposing the limits of identity politics, you've revealed the absurdity of those who cling to it
GUTFELD: On MSNBC, whatever that is, Michael Eric Dyson said Rachel Dolezal is blacker than Clarence Thomas. Roll it, Francine.
GUILFOYLE: And you can make that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: You know those of us who talk about race as a social construct, that it is more complicated. Bill Clinton is the first black president, though, he didn't try to he was black. It means that, she may be not African-American, but she certainly could be black in a cultural sense. She's taken on the ideas, the identities, the struggles, she's identified with them. I bet a lot more black people would support Rachel Dolezal than with supports to Clarence Thomas.

[VIDEO] Conservative Writer Takes on Race-Obsessed MSNBC Contributor Michael Eric Dyson

During a discussion on the Martin Bashir program Wednesday, The Daily Caller's Matt Lewis decided he had simply had enough. Fellow panelist and Georgetown professor Dr. Michael Eric Dyson was holding forth about how President Obama's political opposition was grounded not in criticism of his ideology or his (lack of) leadership but, you guessed it, racism.
Fed up with conservatives constantly being insulted on MSNBC as racist for opposing the president, Lewis interrupted Dyson and took him to task for refusing to deal with the actual merits of President Obama's policies and job approval, both of which are underwater in recent polls. To that, Dyson angrily shot back that Lewis was trying to cash in on his "white privilege" to "silence a black man" on the issue of race. [watch the video below the page break; listen to the MP3 audio here]

"Martin, are you going to call him out for that?" Lewis asked of Bashir, who, naturally, tut-tutted that Lewis should let Dyson finish his screed.
"Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt.... Please, please Matt, allow Professor Dyson to speak," Bashir pleaded.
"Oh, please, Matt?! What about please, Professor, who can't talk about anything other than race?!" Lewis retorted.
"I'm asking you to give him the courtesy of allowing [him] to express his point. You may dispute it, please allow him to speak," Bashir insisted.

MSNBC Guest Calls Sarah Palin the ‘Jar Jar Binks’ of the GOP

The Ed Show’s guest host Michael Eric Dysont ook advantage of the news that Sarah Palin will be speaking at this weekend’s Iowa Faith and Freedom Conference to invite comedian John Fugelsang on the MSNBC show to give his take on her motives and generally mock her presidential prospects.
Fugelsang suspected that Palin primary goal is to “flog” her new book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas “She’s getting in on the War on Christmas bandwagon about five years after Bill O’reilly made it trendy.” While he said it’s easy to “scoff” at Palin and call her “irrelevant,” there’s a reason why the MSNBC hosts were dedicating an entire segment to her.
“She does for the GOP what Jar Jar Binks did for Star Wars Episode 1,” Fugelsang continued. “She distracts the easily amused from a total lack of narrative.” At the same time, he said, “She is still a king-maker and everybody wants her endorsement.”
The comedian went on to predict that Palin will “be the first-ever major party ticket candidate to one day host a cosmetics infomercial.” But for now, he said, “her job is it to keep herself in the media eye, she’s very good at doing that. She is going to talk about the War on Christmas and make that her new pet issue with the book that somebody else wrote. And that should be pretty effective. Telling people who are the religious majority they’re an abused minority will never make you go broke.”
Fugelsang ended his Palin-centered rant by calling her “a hero to gullible conservatives, smart liberals, and all comedians. So, I hope she runs.”

[VIDEO] MSNBC's Roberts: Republicans Want To Stop Women From Voting

WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS CRAP????  DO THEY MAKE IT UP AS THEY GO ALONG???

The liberal claim that Republicans are engaging in a perpetual “war on women” seems to have taken a new turn on MSNBC. No longer does the term “war on women” apply only to access to abortion but now encompasses voting rights as well.
Appearing on MSNBC on October 29, liberal MSNBC host Thomas Roberts claimed that Republicans are trying to restrict a woman’s access to the ballot box. This comes one week after fill-in host Michael Eric Dyson made a similar complaint on The Ed Show. [See video after jump.]  
Speaking with Terry O’Neill, president of the liberal National Organization for Women, Roberts introduced a segment that initially centered around abortion before quickly focusing on new voting laws in Texas. O’Neill began her talking points by claiming that:
The Republican Party in Texas is not only waging war on women's access to reproductive health care, they're even waging war on women's access to the ballot box. They are now enforcing rules that are aimed to stop women from voting.
Roberts seemed happy to take Ms. O’Neill’s bait playing a clip of State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth), who is running for governor of Texas, complaining that:
I was required to sign an affidavit because the name on my voter registration card is slightly different than the name on my driver's license. My driver's license includes my maiden name. My voter registration card does not.

MSNBC’s Michael Eric Dyson to GOP: Stop Comparing Obamacare to Slavery!

Quite a number of Republicans and conservative pundits have taken to bashing Obamacare by comparing it to slavery, and on Wednesday, MSNBC’sMichael Eric Dyson told the GOP to quit the ridiculous, over-the-top comparisons.
Dyson first mocked the lack of GOP “rebranding” after 2012, and noticed how whenever Republicans don’t like a law, “they say it’s akin to slavery.” He showed a montage of everyone from Dr. Ben Carson to George Will making the comparison, even linking Obamacare to the Fugitive Slave Law. What do they have in common? Well, other than the fact that they’re both laws, nothing.
Dyson gave a history lesson on racism and “poisonous bigotry” in the United States, and even said of people like Carson and Allen West that “Black mouths are opening, white supremacist ideals are speaking. There’s a ventriloquist act going on here.”
Dyson then made a plea to the GOP to stop with the insane comparisons.
“The only thing that is comparable to slavery is slavery itself! Stop all the stuff! Ix-nay on the comparative analysis of and the parallels to slavery! Affordable Care Act has freed millions of people from their indentured existence in a system that denied them opportunity!”
