Cornel West has never been President Obama’sbiggest champion, but there he was on CrossfireMonday afternoon, defending Obamacare and other policies from conservative attacks by host S.E. Cuppand The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol. During the debate, Cupp confronted West over what she saw as a lack of “interest and willingness” for black Democrats to have a dialogue with white Republicans on any number of issues.
“We black folk, we have been some of the most open-minded, forgiving and embracing people in the nation,” West responded. At the same time, he said liberal African-Americans can not just turn a blind eye when Republicans cut food stamps for poor people. “That’s morally obscene and spiritually profane.”Kristol pushed back hard on this notion, saying, “Republicans tried trim an overgrown entitlement program and that’s morally obscene?”West was willing to blame “neo-liberalism” just as much as “neo-conservatism,” leading to a “privatized, militarized” society that has “devastated” the working-class and “escalated” poverty.When the group began discussing Mitt Romney’s 47% comments from the 2012 election, West said that is part of the “cold-hearted, mean-spiritedness” of the Republican Party.
he's still an idiot when it comes to Pres. but he's on the one here, Kristol i think is uncomfortable in his own skin he always look like he'll jump and squeal at any moment, and tries to hide it with a smile.
republicans have only tried to eliminate, deny and keep their cushy undeserved jobs, Kristol can pick another one out the hat. he too like the rest try to defend what is readily available on the internet, it's on video tape stupid.
anyone who takes food out of a baby's mouth is just as he described them "cold hearted mean spirited" SOB's that one was on me.
they can only get this elephant dung across in their own venue but fortunately more than half the country is not playing with that band.
he left out cruel, despicable, reprobates who will see hell because of the unchristian way they treat other people and claim it as "THEIR VALUES".
