MSNBC’s whitewashing of the minority speeches at the RNC last night is getting a lot of coverage in the blogosphere this morning and it should. After all, Chris Matthews just accused Mitt Romney of playing the race card the other day and Touré accused Mitt Romney of ‘niggerizing‘ Obama a few days before that. But on a night when there were quite a few speeches given by minorities at the RNC, MSNBC didn’t seem to want their viewers to hear from them:

RED ALERT POLITICS – When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.

MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black.

Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce’ Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech.

And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too.

Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.

Will MSNBC conveniently manage not to show Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech tomorrow (Wednesday night) as well?

Former Secretary of State and prominent black conservative Condoleezza Rice is also slated to speak at tomorrow night’s convention.

And that’s not all. Drudge posted a link to MSNBC’s RNC video lineup from last night and there are several that are conspicuously missing, notably any given by a minority with the exception of Nikki Haley. But according to Red Alert Politics, Nikki Haley, who is Indian-American isn’t considered a conventional minority.

They are finished and they know it! You can't fight a battle of the wits with people like Mathews and Maddow who are mentally unarmed!!!!

The decision to cut away was in keeping with the diversity of MSNBC's on air lineup...

When it comes to MSNBC and their charges of racism, the old joke about passing gas comes to mind: He who smelt it, dealt it.

Man Crucified By Muslim Group For Allegedly Directing U.S. Drones In Yemen – Video Posted On YouTube – Warning: Graphic Images http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/

Fresh on the heels of the Muslim Brotherhood crucifying opponents in Egypt comes this report from Yemen. These are Islamic hardliners who do everything by the Koran. The Koran says: "Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land" (5:33).

Man Crucified By Al-Qaeda-Affiliated Ansar Al-Shari'a For Allegedly Directing U.S. Drones In Yemen – Video Posted On YouTube – Warning: Graphic Images

MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM)

On August 27, 2012, a member of the leading jihadi forum Shumoukh Al-Islam posted a YouTube link to a video showing a man accused of spying for the U.S. by placing chips to direct drones targeting terrorists being crucified on an electric pylon in Abyan province in south of Yemen. A sign placed above the man's head shows the group's flag and verse 5:33 of the Koran, which reads: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter."

To view this clip on MEMRI TV click here.

Despite being uploaded on February 22, 2012, it appears that the video has been made available recently as suggested by the low number of views and the recently made comments. Based on the date of the video, it is safe to say that the crucified man is Saleh Ahmed Saleh Al-Jamely who was executed on February 12, 2012 after being convicted by a court managed by Al-Qaeda-affiliated Ansar Al-Shari'a.

Al-Jamely was accused of spying and placing two chips in two cars that were later targeted by U.S. drones. According to a statement issued by the Islamic court of Waqqar Emirate in Abyan Governorate, dated February 10, 2012, in that attack, ten members of Ansar Al-Shari'a were killed. The other two men, Hassan Naji Hassan Al-Naqeeb - accused of recruiting, delivering chips, and paying spies; and Ramzi Muhammad Qaid Al-Ariqi - accused of spying for the Saudi intelligence by taking photographs of several buildings, were executed in public, but not crucified.[1]

Paraphrasing the words of that bad ass Ray Lewis in the form of an interrogative, "Why not be pissed off for greatness?" That is who we are as Americans, isn't it.

So, each time actions as such are executed by the left to stymie the self-motivating powers of others to create their own success stories, built and erected off of a portfolio of dreams, it is the visual (and in the case of Mr. Matthews, abrasive-induced auditory) effect of their hatred towards the realization of a black person attaining prosperity and wealth through relentless hard work and perseverance that perhaps challenge the very work ethic of those who continually marginalize that person's determination and refusal to remain soundly secured on the plantation.

Their modern-day ploy and tactic used here is no different than the standard barbaric tool of yesteryear, the whip, to recapture their "property" and regain their control over the "inferior" species. To them, the [diatribe] word is mightier than the whip, sort of speak.

MSNBC is practicing racism on a level that is so obvious that it should be a loud signal to the public of their hypocrisy. They are not allowing the speeches of minorities because they do not want them heard. They are suppressing minority voices and the republicans ,as usual, are trying to defend something they have not done.

The racist rulers of the plantation don't want their audience to see non white folks who are conservative. Accordingly, they issued their edict to their media outlets to comply.

Look PMSNBC is about to fall off a cliff. They have been bleeding money and viewers. They are going to need George Soros to pump them with money or they are screwed.

I used to like CMat as he was equally hostile to everyone but since the Obama tingle ran up his leg he is nothing but a hack.

I thought fox and CNN were both Shortchanging the minority speeches last night. I recommend watching C-Span as they air the entire convention without talking heads and their opinions

Hey and quit knocking Megan K.....they are all about worthless but at least she is super hot. The only person in all of the media that discusses topics with depth and insight is the King of EIB ELRushbo......yes he is conservative but I have listened to them all and he is no shill and not carrying anyone's water. He has been as critical of the repub establishment as anyone and pulls the curtain back on liberal lies like no one else....he has been the best for more than 20 years and will be until he retires

The fact is all the networks foster that personality BS....let us here them speak and stop with the interviews and background garbage.....we get that 364 days is it too much to ask to allow the American people the chance to JUST LISTEN without their mind numbing comments.

I will say this though Megyn Kelly gets annoying but she did scold Juan Williams over his remark about Ann. Megyn is too much a lawyer and she has lost something since she has her own show on Fox. She is getting boring and her shrill is getting old. I could care less where they put her just get rid of her already!

Dhimirhoids are just doing what they've always done to minorities. You know like the KKK and Jim Crowe? They got lots of experience keeping people down. Why change now?

Why bother listening to MSLSD or any of the alphabet networks? A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

As I said before... the LSM is one of the top 3 dangers facing America. These people suck in the worst way. Yeah, they have a smaller viewing audience... but until they exert a little journalistic integrity, they are a danger to this country. They lie, distort and under report legitimate news-worthy stories...

I hope they get exposed and publicly slammed for thier bias and dishonesty.

I find it hard to conceive of a world beyond the defeat of President Dung For Brains where liberals, Democrats and commies run free. All welfare must be based on having and holding a paying job. Practitioners of late term abortion should be charged with manslaughter. Members of the communist party should be stripped of US citizenship and US citizens authorized and encouraged to defend the borders actively at all times.

You need look no further than the EU for an example of what the U.S. would be like if El Presidente is allowed another four years and leftards are allowed to run free and unopposed.

I'm not disappointed that MSNBC didn't show the minority speeches. What I am disappointed in is that MSNBC showed any speeches at all. What they should have shown was several hours worth of Looney Tunes cartoons. They would be more in line with MSNBC's programming and would certainly draw a bigger crowd for them.

If you don't show the minority speakers then it is easy to call the Republican party the party of the old white guys.

MSNBC does not want to show anyone from a minority that supports any party other than the democrats.

Why is anyone surprised? It is easier to tell lies if they withhold the facts from their ever shrinking public.

MSNBC will stoop to disgraceful levels of deceit to push their portrayal of the Republican party as anti-black. And as I've stated in the past, it's "stuff" like this as to why more and more people are tuning-out television news reports....it's not news, it's propaganda most of the time!!!

My Skin Not Black Crowd (MSNBC) and their news correspondence consist of 90% white commentators. And they have the gall to call us conservative racist, sexes, homophobes.

Meanwhile...

How do we communicate to people, in an articulate and convincing manner, the fact that 99% of the media (television, newspapers etc) are no longer their friends, if indeed they ever were?

This is one of the most important questions which constitutionalists and God-fearing conservatives have to answer as we move further into the 21st century.

Nikki isn't dark enough for most people to realize she's not "white". Heck, Chris Christie has more color. She doesn't have a "black dialect" (ah ain't noways tahrd).

Instead of the left moaning about Fox not covering speeches that the leftists stations refused to cover, shouldn't they be eating their words about now? After all, the left says Fox is a schill for the right....guess they just proved themselves wrong.

But, then the "political left" is an accurate synonum for hypocrite.

C-Span did a great job airing everything, as did Scoop right here. Mia Love was exceptional. What a strong, passionate, cutie patootie, who delivered her speech extremely well. Awesome lady. Rising star. All the "minorities" were grrrreat!

I really liked Ted Cruz too. I couldn't tell if he was using a teleprompter or not.

Good thing MSNBC has such a tiny audience. Anyone watching this convention on that network is clueless already and/or doesn't give a hoot about fairness or honesty. A friend of mine flipped over to MSNBC for a few seconds just to see how unhinged they were, and said that even Tom Brokaw seemed quite embarrassed by his co-whore-ts. He said they were like ultra-petty children over there. Par for their divot-laden course.

NBC only shows colored people when it suits them. I am sure they consider the minorities speaking at the GOP Convention to be all be Uncle Toms.

What's so funny about them calling conservative blacks "Uncle Toms" is it's really a compliment. If they'd ever bothered to read "Uncle Tom" they would find out that he was his own man and refused to snitch on a runaway slave to the point of allowing himself to be killed.
