MSNBC’s Martin Bashir on Monday apologized for having suggested last Friday that someone teach former Gov. Sarah Palin a lesson about slavery by urinating in her eyes and defecating in her mouth.
Likewise, left-wing groups like the National Organization for Women (NOW) that are eager to gin up the "war on women" rhetoric that President Barack Obama employed throughout the 2012 campaign with ruthless efficiency, have been silent to date because Palin is a conservative. Talk radio host Mark Levin called them out on Friday, blasting women's organizations for not defending Palin because she was not a left-wing politician.
This is probably the greatest tactic used by the liberal left. They slander and berate people who don't believe in their tripe and then work to initiate laws and lable people as haters, phobes, terrorists and bigots to quite any voice of opposition. I don't mind their slander and harsh words, true or not... what I mind is their need to prevent objection to their words....

Palin's right. Here is the Great Emancipator, the Republic's sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln in his seventh and last debate with Stephen Douglas, held at Alton, Illinois, October 15, 1858, speaking simple, clear, self-evident, moral truth about one of our basic, God-given, unalienable rights:
"It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, “You toil and work and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.” No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle."
And here's the author of the Declaration of Independence and our third president on the simple choice before the nation:
"to preserve [the People's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds [. . .] our people [. . . will have] no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers [. . .] this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second [. . .] till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering [. . .] And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."
Thomas Jefferson Letter to Samuel Kercheval June 12, 1816
Breitbart reached out directly to hosts Chris Jansing, Rachel Maddow, Abby Huntsman, Andrea Mitchell, Savannah Guthrie, Mika Brzezinski, Alex Wagner, Krystal Ball, and Alex Witt, as well as reporter Kelly O'Donnell, through a publicist, requesting comment on the continued lack of discipline Martin Bashir has enjoyed since making his comments regarding Palin. As of press time, none of MSNBC's talent has responded to our request, nor have they commented publicly on the matter. The silence is deafening, especially compared to the backlash against those on the right who have outraged the network's talent in the past–with far less obscene statements. MSNBC has been pivotal in forwarding a narrative of the Republican Party and the American right as engaging in a "war on women" by expressing moral opposition to abortion and skepticism at the government interfering with women's health. Those to whom Breitbart News has reached out have, in particular, not been hesitant to comment when the offender has been a right-wing pundit rather than someone on the left. At the peak of the Sandra Fluke contraceptive media scandal, Rachel Maddow contended that radio host Rush Limbaugh did not understand birth control. Krystal Ball started an online petition and boycott campaign against Limbaugh. Andrea Mitchell invited Fluke on her program to discuss her sympathetic phone call with President Obama. In response to former Missouri Congressman Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments, Kelly O'Donnell tried to tie the Missouri Congressman to then Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan by arguing that his comments resembled something in a bill Ryan was involved in writing, which included the term of art "forcible rape." The women of MSNBC have been much quieter for Martin Bashir, despite his monologue distinguishing itself for introducing human waste into the conversation. While Bashir himself took the time to apologize for his "wholly unacceptable" comments, he has so far seen no discipline from the network for his comments. His apology came after widespread backlash from the greater conservative community, coverage by Breitbart News, and a petition on TruthRevolt. While Bashir's network immediately suspended colleague Alec Baldwin for his latest homophobic outburst against a photographer, they have yet to note whether Bashir will face a similar fate for words spoken on air. While often maligned by the left as a divisive figure, Palin has a track record of reaching across the aisle when women in the public eye have become targets of sexist invective. In a recent interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Palin argued that many of the attacks against Hillary Clinton during the 2008 campaign, especially those based on appearance, were the product of sexism. Some women on the left, most notably former White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers, returned the favor, tweeting today that Martin Bashir has "gotta go" for his commentary. SarahPAC, Palin's political action committee, is also still awaiting response from the network over whether they will discipline Bashir. In a letter written to administrators at MSNBC, they list a number of disciplinary actions by the network (including the firing of Don Imus for inappropriate words about the Rutgers women's basketball team and the recent Baldwin fiasco) and request an answer as to what Bashir's fate will be. This appears to be the only pressure on the network to react to such wholly unprofessional talk, however, as prominent feminist groups like NOW and the Feminist Majority stand by their silence on the matter.

The MSNBC host was making a public appearance for his new book "Tip and the Gipper" when the Washington Post's Erik Wemple asked Matthews if he had any comments on the controversial remarks made by fellow host Martin Bashir.
"Not really," Matthews said. "I work in that company. I don't have any comment on it. I can understand that you'd ask the question, but I work for MSNBC."
When pressed on the question, Matthews said, "I'm not a media critic." He continued to dodge the question, insisting, "No, I'm not...He's a colleague of mine."
Bashir recently came under fire for suggesting that someone should "sh-t" in Sarah Palin's mouth, referencing a punishment for slaves, in response to something she had said about slavery. He later apologized for the comments, and on behalf of the network.
Wow, cool post. I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real hard work to make a great article… but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. MSNBC Live

Bill Gates could care less. he no longer is involved. the network is fully owned by NBCUniversal.
