MSNBC's Contessa Brewer 'Frustrated' That Times Square Bomber Is a Muslim
NewsBusters ^ | May 4, 2010 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 05/04/2010 10:22:50 AM PDT by maggief

MSNBC host Contessa Brewer appeared on the liberal Stephanie Miller radio show on Tuesday and lamented the fact that the person arrested for the attempted Times Square bombing is a Pakistani American. She complained, "I get frustrated...There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country." [Audio available here.]

Brewer continued, "...There are a lot of people who want to use terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry."

The News live host didn't explain which ethnicity or religion she had been hoping the bomber would have been affiliated with. She did defensively mention members of a Michigan militia group arrested in March and asserted that they were "from far different backgrounds than what this guy is coming from."

Great story, Rush is talking about it at this very moment. The staff at MSNBC is a joke.

Such a shame when reality gets in the way of a good liberal story-line. This was meant to be some Tea Party member opposed to ObamaCare and then the facts have to go and spoil everything.

Justice would be Contessa Brewer being forced to wear a burkha and live as a slave wife to some goat screwing islamic terrorist in a cave for the rest of her ignorant life.

Yet another media display of self-worship, one host interviewing another.

Brewer . . . It’s not for you to ‘hope’ one way or another about any news story. You’re in the wrong business.

The first step towards any recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Funny, there are people that believe a certain way who use terrorism to justify their beliefs...

Hoping and wishing does not create a new reality. The press and Democrats are going to go crazy trying to turn conservatives into terrorists, while radicals and Muslims become peace loving, patriots.
Keep hoping Contessa.

No, not outdated, and not bigotry. It’s survival. It really is ok to not like people that want to kill you. I’ve taken it to the next level, I hate them. And as far as I know, it’s still legal to hate them.

BTW, who in the heck names a kid Contessa?! Man, if that isn’t a recipe to grow a b!tch, I don’t know what is.
