MSNBC Host: Voter ID Laws a Racist GOP Conspiracy

[swornsongs]

Are you kidding me? If you are being hired for a job, you need to show a photo ID. If you buy cigarettes or alcohol, you need a photo ID. When you open a new bank account, you need to show a photo ID. But heaven forbid, you ask someone to show a photo ID to VOTE, then it's a racist conspiracy! Personally, I think it's pretty damn racist to assume that African-Americans are the ones who will be affected because they are too poor to get a photo ID. Way to go, Ms. Maddow!

[jcn35]

How do you do anything without a proper ID? How can you have a life without an ID. To cash a check, get a job, do anything government related you need an ID, this is just a bunch of BS

[MikeStamm1058]

Wow MSNBC is spewing more bullshit then usual... Who the hell does not have an ID anyways I am sure most people in these supposedly hurt demographic have ID's anyways so they can go and buy booze!

[cheerbut12321]

Oh, the poor....yes they don't have an ID and can't get one. BS! The young person who doesn't have a Driver's lic yet...BS! They have tatoo's, piercings everywhere...buy starbucks and their iPhone in hand. This is nothing more then the Democrats and their "VOTER FRAUD" that is so compeling to me, they can't stand the idea that they can't just go an pick up a bus load of people and get them to vote D....this shouldn't be any argument at all!

[Matrix29bear]

Obtaining proper ID is especially troublesome for feral black men, since they don't live anywhere on a permanent basis, they just "stay" somewhere like grandma's house, or roam around homeless.

Blacks also are very superstitious and believe that racist YT will use every opportunity to put them into the national black database, or resume lynching and slavery.

[Matrix29bear]

If blacks apply for and receive ID, then they could be found for warrants, traffic tickets, welfare fraud, stolen identity, wage garnishment, and back child support, all of the usual crimes hustles blacks commit as part of black culture. My librarian told me that blacks don't apply for library cards either, since you must show proof of residency and a birth certificate (which most of them don't have due to "racism".)

Voter fraud is only one small part of the black criminal culture.

[Matrix29bear]

I have been thinking like a white person. You got it. That's why blacks will not get an I.D. They are wanted, or felons, or child support or escaped prisoners or are not eligible to vote. They are drawing govermint funds under some kind of false pretense and an official I.D. might catch up to them. No wonder the NAACP, the SPLC, and other such low lifes, don't want an ID for voting.

No matter what, just like last time the ballot boxes are going to be stuffed,

[Matrix29bear]

If you cannot prove yourself a net value improving the nation, then you do not deserve to be living in this nation (or at all). This bimbo blathering on is undeserving of being on television and disgusts and repulses me as a viewer. We need a nation of productive citizens devoted to the nation's strength and improvement, not a bunch of whiny lazy moronic parasites looking for the next easy buck. Get rid of the crooks, save this nation. Democrats are on the sides of the nation destroyers.

[InsideDating]

Income taxes are racist too, then. They unfairly target whites and Asians

[jackfire55]

@InsideDating GREAT COMMENT! 

[SGTLima66]

ZEBRAS ARE RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackRepublican2010]

"Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function, cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights — that’s suppression by any light. If you doubt it exists, I don’t; I’ve heard the peddlers of these ballots brag about it, I’ve been asked to provide the funds for it, and I am confident it has changed at least a few close local election results." Artur Davis, Black Democrat Congressman who admits voter ID is needed.

[backrubs62]

the problem is reading about and watching videos online in the virtual world from TV stations, newspaper websites that actually report on people voting who have no right to vote.

Take WSB in Atlanta, they did a story after purging voter records and jury records of those who said they couldnt serve because they were illegal. they interviewed some on camera. some were legal immigrants who were not citizens, and some were illegal immigrants.

now, still have a problem showing ID knowing this?

[fred5399]

Oh crap I mispelled Id.

[CriolloAmericano]

This women is fucking stupid, look in Wisconsin its like 15 dollars to get an Id card fuck stand in line get it game over. The problem is demorats know that if they have an ID act they cant use fraud. Even better its free what more do you want

[wingfeathers00]

Most likely to vote Democrat = the deceased & illegal aliens.

[TheBrradsullivan]

sufferin succotash it does sound like a muthtash twithting conthpiracy!

[fred5399]

Welcome to the south 1865-1965.

[Pendragon1717]

@fred5399 You're comparing having to show proof of who you are when voting to segregation and the lynchings that took place in the South after the Civil War?? Wow. That's all I really need to say.

[woodenmajor]

the dems dont like any efforts to verify voter eligibilty because they like their voters to be able to vote several times over in a single election ,even the dead ones .

[2010GOP]

Are Liberals really this stupid on this issue?

For shit's sake, many doctor's offices are requiring ID to combat insurance fraud ... I had to show ID at my local Walgreens to get a box of over the counter Mucinex (orange box) ... I have to show an ID to get on an airplane

I bet if someone lost their Welfare / WIC card & needed a replacement they'd suddenly be able to come with an ID

Give me a fk'ing break

[carwrecker]

@2010GOP Did all the inbreeding in your family make you this dense and ignorant? Flippin' reich-wingers like you have complete contempt for democracy, unless it suits your twisted ulterior motives (i.e., stop minorites from voting). You are one sick puppy; move to Mississippi, or better yet, Iran.

[2010GOP]

@carwrecker: Typical uneducated Libtard. No logic or basic common-sense. I see you can't answer a simple question.

What would happen if a minority and/or poor person lost their Welfare/WIC card. Do you think they'll need an ID to get a replacement? Is that horrible because they may not have an ID & need to eat?

You're a prime example of why we also need to make competency exams and IQ testing mandatory before being allowed to vote.

[carwrecker]

@2010GOP Thank you for reinforcing the stereotype that all right-wingers are illiterate, bigoted buffoons. I'll bet my Master's in History over your sense of "edumacation" any day. Sounds like you were "learned real good."

In all honesty, you're proving the point that the right doesn't care about the democratic process; it's all about power and manipulation. Congratulations. You've just won the idiot of the month award.

Now... back to your Klan meeting, Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob.

[2010GOP]

@carwrecker: Once again, you've proven how incredibly ignorant you are -- no rationale, logic, or common-sense. My question was very simple. Try again.

If a minority and/or poor person lost their welfare/WIC card, what do you think would be required of them for a replacement card when they requested one from their local welfare office?

[fred5399]

@2010GOP but those are not considered valid id to vote. Just like my doner card was not enough id to get me into certian clubs in Cleveland.

[2010GOP]

@fred5399: It's real simple -- state or other official "photo" ID

[CriolloAmericano]

@fred5399 ok fred be a big boy go to the BMV in ohio and get an ID card jesus christ how lazy are you

[fred5399]

@CriolloAmericano Funny you should say that. I have an id since i drive.I vote in every election.I was rasied to do this since my father could not vote in all parts of the united states.My grandfather could not vote in the state of south carolina until 1965. Oh on the idea matter why not simply use one's social security number.Everyone who is a citizen has one/

[CriolloAmericano]

@fred5399 well ya but think about it if we just use ss numbers and no way to verify who has that number how could we tell who was voting. If I got your number who says I couldnt say I was you and go vote. In the long run the only reason they say its racist is to get people to feel scared to say they agree. Good american citizens will not be affected by this. The ACORN type groups that do this will have an issue getting money now with less voter fraud. So that is the biggest issue

[fred5399]

@CriolloAmericano Lets see, Im a fraud investigator(welfare) I use ss numbers all the time to id clients.It's enough to send client's to jail it is enough to id a voter.

[CriolloAmericano]

@fred5399 ya so if someone has a ss number and uses it to get welfare why cant they go get an id card?

[backrubs62]

This isnt about republicans.

This is about the sanctity of knowing people who should not be voting are not voting. and for anyone to say otherwise is mis-informed

[carwrecker]

@backrubs62 What's it like living in complete denial? The only misinformed person here is you. Get off the Fox Snooze bus, turn off Charlie "Klansman" Sykes and read a book for a change. Low-brow rethugs like you are destroying the democratic process, and you know it. Now, back to your White Knights meeting....

[backrubs62]

@carwrecker no denial here. and dont assume i watch any network or cable news.

I made my comment because of the reports of all the fake voter registration cards in the past couple of years. I also make the comment after watching a san antonio TV station do an investigation into two preceints that found out people who had been dead for 10 years or more somehow voted. and illegal aliens voted and when asked on cam, the illegals admitted to it and said " so what, its not big deal"
