From Mediaite:
South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Dick Harpootlian objected earlier in the week on MSNBC to today’s Republican primary debate. Unlike the rest of America, he was not just objecting to the concept of having the watch the same candidates of the past year or so talk about the same things for another two hours– he considered it objectionable to have a debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and “ignore” the holiday. On tonight’s Bill O’Reilly, Harpootlian began to make the case, but was promptly silenced, jaw agape, as O’Reilly reminded him that the Democrats in his state did the exact same thing in 2008.
Frankly, it was a beautiful and well crafted take down on O’Reilly’s part. Dick came off looking like just that — a dick. He tried to make a racial issue out of the GOP hosting a debate on MLK Day and came out looking like a fool. It really is sad that liberals so desperately want to play the race card. They trivialize the issue of racism at every turn with their false allegations and cynical race baiting.
Now watch it all unfold…
