In Story About Colorado NAACP Attempted Bombing, MSNBC Uses Image From FRANCE [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | January 9, 2015 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 01/10/2015 5:55:49 AM PST by maggief

On his MSNBC show Thursday, host Chris Hayes ran a segment about an attempted bombing which took place outside of the building housing the Colorado Springs NAACP that used images from a completely unrelated incident which occurred in France.

The FBI and ATF are investigating the incident in which a homemade explosive was placed next to a gas can outside of the Colorado Springs building which houses the NAACP office, as well as a barber shop. The explosive was on the side of the building near the barber shop, but authorities are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime targeting the NAACP.

Hayes reminded viewers that as the focus has been on the terrorist attacks in Paris, in which two Islamic jihadists murdered 12 people on Wednesday, with the alleged attack on the NAACP “we might very well might also be facing a planned attempted bombing right here at home at an office of America’s oldest civil rights organization.”

But as the website Twitchy observed, MSNBC used a completely unrelated picture in its story about the attempted bombing.

One of the pictures used in the segment shows a broken window with a man wearing protective gear standing near a gumball machine. A chyron reading “NAACP Bombing” was splashed over the image.

They desperately wanted to believe. More important, they desperately wanted the left to believe and they do despite all evidence to the contrary.

Most likely the barber didn’t pay protection money to the NAACP Mafia.

MSNBC are criminal 5th columnists. Their idea of news is say and do anything to make America safe for Marxism.

And, of course, the next step is the inference that if one white American bombed the NAACP, all whites are racist.

This NAACP alleged bombing is a false flag event in the works. They desperately want to hang something on white Christians in order to get Islam murderers (madrassa-graduate Obama’s core constituency) off the news.
