Racial McCarthyism: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Screams ‘Racist’ to Intimidate Artistic Political Opposition

by James Hudnall and Batton Lash

When reality-impaired MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell decided to call Batton Lash and myself racists on national television, we received a steady stream of death threats and viscous hate mail, which I detail here.

The whole thing brings up memories of the threats on the Danish Cartoonists who mocked the prophet Muhammad, or the threats Molly Norris received when she came up with the idea for Everyone Draw Muhammad Day. In both of those cases, the cartoons were mild but they inspired mindless fanatics to threatened the cartoonists with death. Now we have poor man’s Keith Olbermann inciting mob frenzy.

The same Lawrence O’Donnell who recently showed his racial sensitivity when he said about former Republican Chairman Michael Steele:

“He’s dancing as fast as he can, trying to charm independent voters and Tea Partiers while never losing sight of his real master and paycheck provider, the Republican National Committee.”

This is the mental munchkin who called us “mentally disturbed racists” and went so far as tell people where we lived, who our spouses are and suggested they confront us. He’s like a gender impaired metro-sexual Mullah calling for a fatwa on unbelievers. Bad move, Larry. These creators aren’t going into hiding after your psychotic tirade.
