Matrin Bashir is vile with his attack on
Sarah Palin on Friday, MSNBC’s Martin Bashir argued that the former
Alaska governor is an “outstanding candidate” to receive the same
horrific “dose of discipline” that a slave endured hundreds of years ago.
The “discipline” included being flogged and having a slave defecate in another slave’s
mouth. Bashir said this in response to a slavery analogy Palin made when
talking about the implications of American debt in the hands of China. She said it would be slavery if China was to own America.
What a Sick and Sorry loser.
Dubbing Palin as America’s “resident
dunce” and a “world class idiot,” Bashir read some excerpts from the
diary of a man named Thomas Thislewood, “who kept copious notes for 39
years” about the insidious punishment doled out to slaves.
“What is most shocking about
Thistlewood’s diary is not simply the fact that he assumes the right to
own and possess other human beings, but is the sheer cruelty and
brutality of his regime,” Bashir said. “In 1756, he records that a slave
named Darby ‘catched eating kanes had him well flogged and pickled,
then made Hector, another slave, s-h-*-t in his mouth.’”
The punishment became known as “Darby’s Dose,” the MSNBC host explained.
“And he mentions a similar incident in
1756, his time in relation to a man he refers to as Punch: ‘Flogged
punch well, and then washed and rubbed salt pickle, lime juice and bird
pepper, made Negro Joe piss in his eyes and mouth,’” Bashir continued.
Finally, he got to his underlying message — that if anyone is qualified for such treatment, it’s Palin.
“When Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she
doesn’t just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly
qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be
the outstanding candidate,” he concluded.
