What Martin Bashir said on Friday was truly shocking UPDATE w link

to hear on cable tv. Still, I didn't think he'd get so destroyed over it.. but Palin has her own connections to unleash.

UPDATE w TX link to medialite for the correct info:
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/martin-bashir-says-someone-should-sht-in-sarah-palins-mouth/

* I wrote this in other threads but in case you didn't see it
** Updating please see link

He played a clip of her speech equating ACA to slavery.

He then went on to quote from I guess a novel written by a slave / ex-slave about having been punished by having to shit in the mouth of a fellow slave.

Then there was another quote about peeing on someone.

I thought WHEW that's intense and it bothered me that he said this because it did seem to intense .. but he must have seen 12 Years a Slave - or something - and it moved him to lash out.

than I was with the story itself. I approved of his giving it to Palin and revealing 'slave stories' that all Murcans should know. You're right, Miss Sarah must have s***** a few NBC corporate d**** and is now cashing in a few chips.

Sarah would have even understood that she'd been insulted if someone hadn't explained it to her. What Bashire actually said about Sarah did not include the word shit, poop, or piss.

I just listened to his entire rant. He simply read a FACTUAL account of the atrocities of slavery to illustrate the obscene comparison that ass made between slavery and the national debt.

He owed no one an apology. Especially that grifting piece of slime.
