'Trump is a racist': Bob Schieffer attacks The Apprentice host... as liberals desert reality show in protest at anti-Obama campaign

[WestVirginiaRebel]

UK Daily Mail:

A senior CBS news anchor today labelled Donald Trump's campaign to raise doubts about President Obama's school grades as an 'ugly strain of racism'.

Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer made the comments in the wake of Mr Trump's calls yesterday for Mr Obama to release college transcripts 'proving' he had the grades to enter Columbia and Harvard.

The attack came as new research suggested viewers for Celebrity Apprentice - some of the most liberal for any TV show - were deserting the program due to Mr Trump's outspoken rants against Mr Obama.

The furore came soon after the President released his full birth certificate - finally putting the question of his citizenship beyond reasonable doubt.

Yesterday Mr Trump called on the President to release his college transcripts.

Reacting to the call, Mr Schieffer said: 'That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black.

'This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing.'

What hath Whoopi Goldberg wrought? All they're doing is elevating Trump to a status he doesn't really deserve-and he's not even running for anything (yet.)

Since this article is from the UK, I will forego their misunderstanding the nature of the argument about Zero's citizenship......few argued his citizenship, but whether or not he was qualified to serve as a "natural born citizen".

 

Having said that, I view this whole rant by the left (clip after clip was shown on BOR) as a GOOD THING!!!

 

If anything can desensitize the American public to the stigma of "White Guilt", it will be the constant harrangue by the left calling the majority of us racists. This will be the constant theme from the left during the 2012 election cycle....any criticism of His Lordship will be charactarized as RACISM. It will grow old fast, a sure way to alienate the average voter.

The racist factor is folks who believe that blacks can't stand up through their own merit... (The Liberal Elite)

 

There's not been one qualified minority conservative that isn't actively embraced by the vast majority of the conservative base and "Tea Party".

Well said, NCTexan!

 

Allen West, Herman Cain, Tim Scott.....and those are just the ones gathering the most press at present.......there are many more that are involved in conservative politics on state & local levels or through the Tea Party that are solid citizens & patriots.

 

More than anything, what makes them likeable is that they love our country, and believe in it's history, people & promise.

I wonder what all of these people will say about the next black Republican president?

That's easy... "Uncle Tom"... "House Negro"... "traitor"... for starts.

I read that Schieffer was a minority hire for Face The Nation.
