    Look, let's just take a moment to consider why Andrea Mitchell doesn't think Iowa should matter.

    Which republican candidate has a reputation for calling out the fed? Ron Paul.

    How has Ron Paul been polling in Iowa? Near the top.

    Who is Andrea Mitchell married to??? Give up??? None other than former chairman of the federal reserve, Alan Greenspan.

    We are said to be a divided country ad nauseam, so does Andrea Mitchell imply that there is a state that does represent America? Aside from the usual "you can say that about whites but not blacks/Hispanics/Jews" arguments, it doesn't really make sense. Does California represent the country better than Iowa or something?

    Nonsense.
    The right-wing fundamentalists who infest Iowa mostly represent the lunatic fringe in US politics.

    In the same context as the video ... yes, and no that's not racist... it's too black, too inner city to be representative of the Country as a whole in the presidential race.

    They are talking about voter demographics is all, whether the point is correct IDK or care that's not the debate, is it racist... no.

    By context you mean if she said to "black" it would have been racist. <sarcasm>

    The point is not whether she is right, it's whether she was being racist. Iowa may be a perfect indicator in the early presidential race, white and religious or not. Doesn't matter, she thinks the demographic is too white and religious for that to be true... is she right ?... don't know.... Is she racist ?. No she isn't.

    There's a difference between a generalization and racism, guess which that one was.

    You really are desperate to be offended aren't you.

    I believe you are correct. Don't let the racial divide and conquer tactics work because the federal reserve and their associates are colour blind when it comes to screwing people over.

    Hardly. I am taking his post history into account. I'm not offended at all. Just saying facts. If she said <fill in the blank> state was to Black or Hispanic she wouldnt have a job.

    Yep. Divide and conquer is an easy tactic to gain control and they have plenty of practice < "they" is the Government>

    Post history has nothing to do with it, that blacks and minorities tend to live in cities is a generalization and a true one at that... it's not racist.

    Pure speculation, in the context it was said I believe she would be fine but again that is pure speculation too. Let's stick to what she DID say... it wasn't racist.

    Don't buy this BS damage control. The Leftist elite look down on the white religious people in "fly-over" country. They certainly do not have their best interests at heart, and actively work to reduce their political power by bring non-whites into the country. If any group is obsessed with race, it is the Left.

    That's a FACTUAL Statement ... Iowa doesn't represent the rest of the country. She could have left out the part of being too White and everything else; and let the FACTS speak for themselves.

    The fact is that she's a liberal bigot.

    How is it not racist? Too white? meaning that she doesn't like the fact that there are too many whites in Iowa?

    How NBC keeps putting these idiots, racists, and anti-americans on their programs is beyond me.
