MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 23 March 2010: Palin Tweet - "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!' Pls see my Facebook page." Twenty Democratic House members are shown a map of their districts with locations indicated by gun-crosshair targets. "We'll aim for these races and many others."

Guest interview was Princeton professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell, who discussed the implications of the racist epithet incidents over the weekend:

O'DONNELL: "There was a lot of over-boiling this weekend in Washington. We saw the spectacle of Congressman John Lewis, a former civil rights marcher, being spat on, yelled at, exactly the kind of thing that happened to him back when he was marching for civil rights - much worse happened to him then, very severe physical violence happened to him. What were your feelings watching that?"

HARRIS-LACEWELL: "That one was very hard, I think, for Americans who know that history to watch - to actually see this same person, this same body, being attacked on questions of race. But, for me, there was also this interesting shift, because, remember, that when he was marching as a young demonstrator, he was marching against the state, against the government, saying that he had the right, as did other African-Americans, to be full citizens. Now..."

O'DONNELL: "And was being beaten by AGENTS of the government in those states."

HARRIS-LACEWELL: "And being beaten... Absolutely, absolutely. Now in this context, it's the racists who are the outsiders, and he is an agent of the state, right? So, on the one hand, you see this enormous change, this enormous transition.

But, I also think it calls us to say that this is not just a matter of bigotry or prejudice, but this is about people who are challenging the right of people like President Obama, Rep. Lewis, to actually be making policy. I mean, they are duly elected leaders in our country, and we have folks saying they don't have the right to levy taxes."

4. If I was one of the congressmen who are "targeted"
I would have this bitch locked up for terrorist threats. When are we going to stop this shit. Is it going to take a bullet to do so? Wouldn't that be too late? They are throwing bricks through windows for now, what's next? Do we just forget what Failin Palin did if nothing happens? She's getting a Bush pass on EVERYTHING. The MSM coddles stupidity, and terrorist.

7. Yes. It IS going to take a bullet to stop this. It won't end until somebody is dead
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 10:39 PM by live love laugh
or injured and even then it won't stop--they'll just go into hiding until next time.

It never has stopped--from Abraham Lincoln to MLK to 2010.

10. Palin
Needs to be arrested, not only for her post with crosshairs on Dem Congressmen & women, but she commits SEDITION on a weekly basis. She needs to be charged, convicted and put in the slammer.

No one would dare to do such a heinous act.

6. IF you didn't give them coverage, they would go away. Please stop covering these lowlife creeps.
And arrest them just like you would any vandal.  End of story.
There are NOT that many of them.

8. I disagree. Know your enemies, and expose them at every turn.

14. Couldn't agree more
Ignoring them will only make these demons think they're getting away with it.

故曰:知彼知己,百战不殆;不知彼而知己,一胜一负;不知彼,不知己,每战必殆。
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a thousand battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

On a side note, I wonder how much of this Palin and her drones would agree with...

20. Let the locals give them attention, but not nation wide attention. manage them, but don't make
them out to be more than they really are.

I, personally, wouldn't want to know these people.

13. K&R & excellent job on the transcribing
The closed captioning on the YouTube original seems to be quite good, too.

19. sorry but I don't like lacewell
and the way she avoids taking a direct approach. These people are racists and goons, period, and Palin is inciting them. Call them what they are. Her Nation articles are a HELLUVA lot more honest.
