MSNBC’s Dyson Praises Obama’s ‘Ingenious’ Use of the N-Word

MSNBC's Dyson Praises Obama's 'Ingenious' Use of the N-Word (NewsBusters)

In a move that would surprise few, MSNBC on Monday night praised Barack Obama's use of the N-word in a recent interview. Analyst Michael Eric Dyson appeared on All In and cheered the President: "He was, I think, quite ingenious, clever to be sure, about exploiting those boundaries by drawing attention to them." 

The "boundaries" were a reference to anchor Chris Hayes's insistence that Obama wanted to "blow up" the way "we patrol explicit taboos." Dyson marveled, "[Obama] just blew that whole thing up and now he's forcing us to have that conversation."
