MSNBC guest says Republicans are racist just like banks down south

.
10/24/11, "Bill Press On Iraq: Republicans 'Refuse To Give A Black Man Credit'," NewsBusters, M. Finkelstein

"On Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this (Mon.) evening, Bill Press ascribed Republican reluctance to give President Obama credit on Iraq to the fact that "the Republican party is like some of the banks down South. They refuse to give a black man credit."

• AL SHARPTON: Bill is writing about the Iraq pull-out, calling it a promise made, promise kept. Bill, what will it take for Republicans to give this president credit?

• BILL PRESS: You know what, Reverend Al? As one of my callers said this morning on my show, the Republican party is like some of the banks down South. They refuse to give a black man credit. Period." (video at link)

PS: Would Press care to specify the southern banks he claims are breaking the law, or does he prefer to leave his libel floating flatulently in the wind?"
