Who Knew the ‘MS’ in MSNBC Stood For ‘Morally Superior’?
Pajamas Media ^ | May 6 | James Lileks

Posted on 05/06/2010 12:04:41 PM PDT by AJKauf

The MS in MSNBC stands for Morally Superior, I guess. That explains this:

“I get frustrated…” said Contessa Brewer. “There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country. … 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 I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.”

This may be a big moment for Contessa Brewer, since it’s brought her a wider audience — and while some may wonder if her name means she’s like Budweiser Royalty or something, she may have a hard time living this down.

But not in her circle. To Ms. Brewer, these are simply the sentiments of a thinking, caring, decent, fair-minded person. If you react otherwise, you’re a squinty-eyed Bubba who thinks this here country started goin’ downhill (spit) since we started lettin’ Veetner-mesians (spit) come in and run restaurants. Not saying they don’t make good rice because they do ‘n all, but this all here’s a Christian nation. And ah say that in full reee-cog-nition of the Deism of some Founders, inasmuch you can place Deism outside of the bound’ry of angnostercism and link it to yer monotheistic assumptions.

Those are the people who rush to judgment. They hear there’s been a terrorist attack, perform some twisted calculation based on stories from Fox’s highly rated “Jihadis in Your Garage” daily update, and figure it might have something to do with Islamists. Shame! Good people not only don’t judge before-hand, they want to refrain from judging after-hand, so they can theoretically judge someone who didn’t do it, but might.....

How utterly sad. The first thought I had was, “Lord, please don’t let it be a fellow American.” She is a buffoon.

Oh...you mean the way others use any shooting incident to justify their outdated bigotry against guns, self-defense, gun ownership or the 2nd Amendment?

Seems to me that there are a lot of people at MSNBC who want to use any right wing cause, conservative or tea party event to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way that is different form the way they think. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

The whole point of the liberal ideology is to make those who espouse it feel morally superior about themselves.

This is why they NEVER examine the actual results of their policies, because that’s not the point to them.

They “thinking”, what there is of it, STOPS at the point where they feel that they are on the side of the angels.

“Poor people should be given money” - I’m morally superior for thinking that. Period. Stop. End of thought process.

You think they might at some point wonder why most conservatives are “bigoted” towards a certain subset of people with certain skin colors, and realize it just might have something to do with them blowing stuff up and violating immigration laws. Rather than, you know, being brownish.

The media called the people in Michigan and Ohio a “CHRISTIAN” militia group from day one and trumpeted that meme for many newscycles.

They have yet to acknowlege this man is an Islamist. Not all muslims are Islamic terrorists but all Islamic terrorists are muslims. To repeatedly echo the lies that “this was a lone nut” when time and time again it has been shown that they go abroad to train for jihad is just denial of basic fact.

Softselling the news and harping on Christians as a bloc does no good in putting an end to terrorism.

Americans despised Nazis during WWII but it wasn’t because they were “germans who spoke a different language than we do...” and there were acts of domestic terrorism, sabotage, and espionage on behalf of Germany.

Actually, its kind of sickening. Who thinks like this? “A terrorist attack, oh please let it be a white christian patriot type, please please..”

The sad thing is that they are paying her around $150k a year...and any idiot could replace her from the street and do just as good of job for $75k.

People who hate themselves.

Actually, perhaps we should be grateful that all our Leftists are self-haters. If our Left were made up of self-worshiping ultra-nationalist jingos (as in Third World countries), we might have gone Left a long time ago.

In other words,

it’s their CULTURE, not their COLOR.

The same people that publicly said that they hoped that American troops would come back in body bags to make George W Bush look bad.
