Mika on Church Shootings: 'Inane' To Think Armed Citizen Can Make a Difference
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/11/2007 7:00:29 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Don't confuse Mika Brzezinski with the facts. She's anti-gun and is not about to let some stunning counter-evidence change her mind.

If ever there was an illustration of how an armed citizen can make a difference, it is the case of Jeanne Assam, the brave woman who took out the killer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. And yet . . .

On today's Morning Joe, Mika -- in newsreader mode -- dutifully reported the incident. But when Joe Scarborough sought to draw the obvious implication, Mika put her anti-gun foot down.

Yup, and the DBM still drags the old fart out for his opinion on world affairs.

On my local news reports they are carefully editing Ms. Assam's statement to leave out anything regarding "God" or the "Holy Spirit"--which were central to her motivation in this matter. The most we hear in sound bites are "I knew it was my assignment to stop this" (then video is stopped, as the "Holy Spirit" comment came next.

She's just a brain dead MSM'er. Don't let the facts get in the way of her liberalism.

Oh, so now guns aren’t lethal enough?

Liberal hypocrites. I thought guns were always scary killers?

Thank you. I’m only picking on TODAY because O’Reilly said that they(NBC) crossed the line from biased to corrupt. I’d watched them for a long time, and had switched over to GMA for
morning “news” fix. Read baseline for listening to the radio and playing on FR.

These people can not really be this stupid. It has to be a put on.

I think it's more about deep deep denial. Like a very traumatic event occurring...your mind says this can't be happening when it really is. To a liberal, the thought of a regular citizen defending themselves or others is too enormous to comprehend.

Atta girl, Mika, reinforcing the “dumb blonde” stereotype. Any chance that “Brzezinski” is Polish for “berserk”?

She is the evil span of Zbigniew Brzezinski.

He is responsible for bringing the Radical Muslims to power in Iran

I think there some living people who my not have survived the attack had not been for this fine lady’s resolve. No an “inane” thoughts pass through their minds about the matter.

Liberal New York insider....

Need I say more.

Then let me: Spawn of Jimmah Carter's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, a man who gave Nicaragua to the Sandinistas, Iran to the ayatollahs, and the Panama Canal to druglord Manuel Noreiga. He also sucked up to the old Soviet Union, emboldening them to make trouble in Afghanistan (where we're still paying the price of having to build up islammofascists to fight the Soviets), while simultaneously flipping the bird to Free China (also known as Taiwan). Our military was gutted under this man, and Reagan had to increase the national debt to arm up for the final defeat of the old Soviet evil empire.

There's probably not a man alive today who did more to f*** up this country, and any issue of his has got to be as evil as Hillary herself.

I will celebrate the day when her father dies just as much as I will when Carter shuffles off the stage.
