The Black-SPAN Caller Was Right

Granted, he could have chosen his words better…
Not to mention a slightly (but expected) misleading title from The Huffington Post

Mediaite’s Jon Bershad points out that this isn’t the first time C-SPAN’s Bill Scanlan’s had to sit through a hateful diatribe, noting that, “In January he got to have a discussion with a caller who wanted less Jews on the air.” On that occasion, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg didn’t care much for Scanlan’s noncommittal approach to taking the call, assailing him for not doing anything to challenge the caller or cut him off.

Let me better make the point for ‘Bill from North Carolina’….

As black people vote 90-95% for Democrats, for some to call in to C-SPAN on the Republican line and then praise Barack Obama is the epitome of disingenuous. If anything, Bill Scanlan should have cut those black callers off because they misrepresentation who they were. To call both Bills asleep at the wheel and racist is what we’ve come to expect from the left.

C-SPAN’s subsequent apology for the call was spineless.
