I think there is a lot of attitude.

00:08:03 >> How do you play it, how do you cover it?

00:08:05 >> When do you cover a story or starve a story?

00:08:08 Our job is sometimes to not prove -- say you're guilty until proven innocent.

00:08:13 >> And when half the republican field said they believe this nonsense.

00:08:18 >> This has been informative about the attitudes of some people in the country who can't accept barack obama as president.

00:08:25 It has been a -- >> a lot of african-americans feel this say racist charge.

00:08:29 >> Not just african-americans.

00:08:30 The people writing to me and tweeting to me, they think they are missing the irony, the sarcasm and everything else we have been doing here for the last couple of months, but they think that this is a racist conspiracy to somehow make -- a lot of white house people are saying that to me too, white and black.

00:08:52 I can't argue with that.

1. It is what it is.

[Fuzz]

2. Can't deny it any longer media, especially since there will still be birthers after today

with even wilder 'theories'.

[otohara]

3. The Blacks, The Basketball Court

affirmative action....it's all racist

[Lint Head]

4. Two words. It's racism.

[Phoenix63]

5. Oh all of a sudden it's racist? Where was she

for the last 2 and a half years?

Fuck Andrea Mitchell. She's a shill. Trying to say it was all sarcasm and irony? :puke:

[Ship of Fools]

11. i'm totally on board with you -- what a fraud, trying to save face

i actually just blasted her a really angry email. i'm sure she'll read it :sarcasm:

[csziggy]

6. She also just called for Trump to release his tax returns!

As he promised. Her words, "The clock is ticking."

LOL! Maybe the release of the "long form" birth certificate has done some good since it will not give any legitimacy for any main stream media talking head to play along with the birther idiocy.

[fishwax]

7. of course it is -- it was nice to hear them be clear about it

I think it was Chuck Todd (I was listening in another room, so not 100% sure) who suggested that "some" African Americans felt it was racist, which seemed to minimize it a bit, but Mitchell countered that.

8. Here's how you cover the "story" Andrea.

Start Asking Donald Trump where the claimed "shocking" evidence his fabled investigators were to suppose to have found is. Demand he produce and when he doesn't, dismiss him as just another bald faced liar and self promoting attention whore. He belongs in the same category as Orly Taiz and Franklin Graham.

[calimary]

12. YES.

And where are his tax returns that he said he would release if Obama ever released his "real" birth certificate?

[City Lights]

9. I completely agree.

I'm glad some in the media are finally saying it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. A word that should have been used 3 + fucking years ago when this started.

Had the MSM done their fucking job, and called it what it is when this shit first started, they would have stopped it in its tracks. The MSM had an agenda too and now that their bluff has been called, they're feigning outrage. I call BULLSHIT on ALL of them. THEY ARE COMPLICIT. Period. End. Of, Subject. Screw Andrea Mitchell.
