Because no other news organization would have him.

Today, on MSNBC's The Five The Cycle, Toure decided to follow the orders that he is getting from whatever passes off for JournoList these days and play the race card. In so doing, he decided to use a variation of the n-word.

Referring to Romney's statement that Obama should "take [his] campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," Toure made the following claim: "You notice he said anger twice. He's really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the 'otherization,' he's not like us. I know it's a heavy thing, I don't say it lightly, but this is 'niggerization'. You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we've been trained to fear."

And there you have it, folks. Because Governor Romney used the word "anger" twice to describe the Obama campaign, he is now involved in the "niggerization" of America. Honestly, we didn't know that using the word "anger" twice in one sentence constituted hate speech. In fact, we don't even really know what the hell "niggerization" is, apart from that on-the-fly definition by Toure.

We expect these "last gasp" style outbursts will continue, if not get more humorous, as the campaign continues and/or Romney takes a lead in the polls.

In some strange way, we're looking forward to it.
