Martin O'Malley: Another Craven Left-wing Coward

Martin O'Malley CAVES.............Donald Trump DOESN'T

There's a lot of old saws that are generally all too true. Some go back to Elementary School; "No one likes a tattle tale." Others are just universal truths at ANY age; "No one respects a coward."

At a recent "Netroots Convention," Martin O'Malley made a perfectly neutral statement and one that is obviously true, "Black lives matter, white lives matter...ALL lives matter."

Apparently we're all supposed to believe that somehow O'Malley forgot where he was?

Seriously?!

AS IF he didn't know that the "Black Lives Matter" (BLM) segment of the Netroots is peopled almost entirely by virulently anti-white bigots?

IF he didn't know that, he SHOULD'VE immediately walked off that stage and strongly condemned that blatant bigotry/racism, rather than cravenly court the "bigot vote."

Instead, in typical white-liberal/progressive style, Martin O'Malley disgraced himself and caved in...and promptly APOLOGIZED for offending the bigots in the audience!

“I meant no disrespect,” O’Malley said in a recent interview, “That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect. I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue.” (http://www.cnn.com/…/polit…/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/)

THIS is precisely WHY most voters are sick of "professional" politicians and WHY wildcard, non-politically correct, "NON-Politicians," like Donald Trump, are able to do what most "professional politicians" CAN'T - galvanize the public.

Martin O'Malley SHOULD'VE stormed off that stage and condemned that blatant bigotry. He had ABSOLUTELY nothing to lose. Those bigots aren't going to vote for the likes of O'Malley anyway.

So, he COULD HAVE stood up against bigotry....but, in the end, he just didn't have the guts, even when it wouldn't have cost him any votes!

Howard Kurtz (of Media Buzz) has it exactly right: "The former Maryland governor was at the Netroots Nation conference over the weekend when a group of demonstrators began demanding that he talk about police brutality. They soon began chanting: “Black lives matter!”

"O’Malley, who had been talking about civilian boards to oversee police, responded with this:

“Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter.”

"What could possibly be objectionable about that statement?

"But the mostly black protesters didn’t like it and began booing the Democratic candidate.

"O’Malley might have responded by taking them on, by making an impassioned plea for justice for all races.

"But he did not. And in a subsequent interview with the online show “This Week in Blackness,” he apologized:

“I meant no disrespect. That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect. I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue.”

"Seriously? He’s sorry for saying white lives also matter? That all lives matter?

So, O'Malley just proved that he's NOT exactly the kind of guy you'd want to have in in your corner....so WHY would ANYONE actually vote for the guy?
