"You Make a Great Point There:" MSNBC Has Unexpected Take on Coverage of Obama's Funeral Selfie

Three guesses.

Did you say "sexist" or "racist"?

Well either way, you're right: It's both.

The first woman to offer this assessment -- that the discussion is "racist" and "sexist" -- is identified by Mediaite as being an MSNBC reporter. Not one of their many, many, many opinion-spewing talking heads, but a reporter.

So at MSNBC, even the "reporters" are quick to report racist attacks on Obama.

They are literally claiming that you cannot criticize Obama or Michele at all, or else you're racist. (If it's Michele, you're racist and sexist too.)

I would like people to start reversing the question on these people. I'd like them to start being asked, "What criticism, if any, of Obama would you consider fair?" Force them to give us a list of criticisms we are allowed to lodge at the SCOAMFOTUS, or else make them confess that they deem all criticism racist and out of bounds.

Make them say it. Make them own their absurdity.

@johnekdahl noted that after Obama yucked it up with the comely Danish PM, and after Michele had seemed to stare daggers at the pair, Michele and Obama changed seats, so that Michelle now sat between the Danish PM and Obama. As if she wanted to separate them.

And for that observation, he was called racist and sexist in the Guardian.

He was also identified as being "the media." But whatever.

It's just too ridiculous. They literally have nothing else to say-- no defense of Obama's myriad failures, no real argument that he's achieved anything at all. From here on out, it's just racism, sexism, and racism forever.

Tangentially Related: Some people made parody "SomeECards" -- "SomeDCards," expressing progressive ideas.

They're pretty funny.
