By now, we all understand that MSNBC - the liberal progressive network of record - is overflowing with kooks, crackpots, and abject racists. You'd think that, after years of insanity dribbling from the mouths of people like Martin Bashir, Al Sharpton, and Melissa Harris Perry, it would be impossible to reach a new low. After all, these people will say, or do, anything to advance their imbecilic ideology. Eventually, it would almost seem that they’d have to hit rock bottom.
As Toure' proved this weekend, they haven't gotten there yet.
The fracas began when Toure' posted a link to one of his colleagues, who'd written yet another in a seemingly endless line of "white privilege" polemics. He was called out by someone whose family had survived the holocaust, emigrated to the United States, and built a life on nothing but willpower.
Toure' responded in his typical, flippant, faux-erudite fashion.
"The power of whiteness."
See what he did there? With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the stories of hundreds of thousands of holocaust survivors as nothing more than a prelude to his self-serving war against the non-existent boogeyman known as "white privilege."
What he's really saying is: "If you survived the camps, came to America, and managed to thrive, big deal. You owe your success to rampant racism." The fact that you managed to survive and excel is not a result of your perseverance and your hard work. Instead, it was derived from the color of your skin.
Toure' has managed to reduce the most horrific episode in human history - and it's 60 year aftermath - to nothing more than a talking point to be stored in his race-baiter's arsenal.
He has neither apologized nor deleted the tweet, and we hope he never does. This needs to stay up, so it can serve as the primary example of the staggering hubris inherent to his myopic crusade. Plus, it draws the crazies to his side.

Even the progs over at Media Matters took a break from obssesively tweeting about Fox News and chimed in:
Unbelievable.
Remember, holocaust survivors. According to the left wing brain trust, you were not the victims of racism, bigotry, and hate. You were beneficiaries.
