Yes, lapdog Chuck Todd is at it again. This time, with more race-baiting! There will be some extra kibble in Chuckie’s bowl tonight.
On Morning Joe, @chucktodd says close WH adviser told him Washington so divisive now, Lincoln couldn't even get slavery abolition passed now

Twitter users first quickly point out the idiocy of the remark itself.
Uh… they run it? MT @CADelargy @chucktodd says close WH adviser told him DC so divisive now, Lincoln couldn't get slavery abolition passed

@jtLOL @chucktodd Did you happen to remind him/her that the Republicans ended slavery?
— Patrick Casey (@PatrickJCasey) December 3, 2012
@PatrickJCasey You're assuming that @chucktodd knew it to begin with.

Heh. Great point!
@chucktodd Since when is individual freedom slavery? To be a nameless source is gutless and to let it pass is even more so. Get agenda out

Oh, he didn’t even just let it pass. He praised it as “interesting” and from a “smart” aide. No, really.
“You’re going to like this,” MSNBC host Chuck Todd said this morning on TV. “So, I threw the Lincoln analogy at a close aide to the president last week, and he said, ‘You know, with this Republican, with the way politics of Washington are today, there’d still be slavery. Lincoln wouldn’t have been able to navigate the polarization between the media between this–‘ It was an interesting and depressing observation from this very smart White House aide.”

Why would anyone like a disgusting remark like that, Chuck?
Hey, @chucktodd, maybe you want to elaborate on why this is "interesting" sd opposed to, say, disgusting? http://t.co/bD0i9KEy

It is the state of alleged journalism today. Good lapdogs!

It’s a tough race to the bottom, but Chuck Todd is making a valiant effort!
Update: Aww, call the waahm-bulance!
Good ole Twitter, folks doing their usual, if you REPORT something, then you must believe it too. Whatever…
