On Tuesday, MSNBCs Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

“If you are life loving conservertives, why should you support violence and bloodshed?”
I don’t know what your agenda is, since you are new to FR.
Self-defense and/or self-protection is NOT supporting violence. Who told you that?
The thugs are beating people at rallies, and the thugs are not conservatives. Can you explain that?
Did you see what happened to the black conservative in st louis? What about the black panthers with the baton @ the voting precinct? Do you care?
MSNBC is race baiting and those pundits should be fired for trying to cause violence!
They are the ones who want violence.
Having a weapon in no way shape or form, “promotes” violence. Too many conservatives that I trust are letting the media define the guns at protest issue for them.
I’m fine with guns at protests from both sides.
The scripture you refer to is about Rebellion against God. Sheese!
You ain't gonna last.
You are correct, but all New York Times-derived media, such as the alphabets, are congenitally incapable of categorizing lefty yellow journalism as news.
I am biased for the guys who are getting the crap beat out of them by the obama thugs right now.
I am for self-defense (aka protection) for anyone..
Truth is an important component of free speech even though in free speech there is a right to misrepresent fact.
Does the media realize their peril if they incite an armed revolution by misrepresenting facts?
The second amendment really is there to protect the first.
Who will hold the media accountable for lies?
You are, of course, 1,000,000% wrong in your assessment. Since self defense is a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT, not one granted by government, and since Jesus Himself told His followers to sell even their spare cloak in order to buy a sword, I guess that should answer your obvious question.
In the world of RIGHTS, to NOT exercise it and protect it is to LOSE it. Is that what you are championing? If so, you are SURELY on the wrong site.
In addition, the gentleman carrying the AR-15 did it as part of a setup. AND the information I have seen places him squarely on the side of truth and justice; that is, OUR side. (Or maybe not YOUR side, I dunno.)
“Having a weapon in no way shape or form, ?promotes? violence.”
I meant to say, I agree 100%..
I'm talking about how the media may be driving us to do something terrible about them someday in the future.
I hope this is not necessary.
It's all about tyrannical control there is nothing here that has to do with race except for the fact that the media and the Democrats are making it about race.
Someday people may rebel against the media because it has become too close to the Government.
I believe it is a real possibility and Obama would probably like too put me in his Gulag for saying it.
Just so you know, I don’t take weapons to protest’s.
LOL, knew what you meant and what you mean. Ever “dug” into Christian Liberation Theology? I use quotes with “dug” because the scriptural basis is exactly the “that” you are talking about, and it is about as deep as water from a 5 second cloudburst in the desert...
Was Michelle wearing a bra?
Was Michelle going commando?
(Enquiring minds and all that...)
:-)
I'll take a bad atmosphere over being jumped and/or beaten by union thugs with melee weapons.
STOLEN ...
I wish I knew how to make very large letters because I’m SCREAMING here. How long does it take for people to get the facts? This guy with the gun and the man with the pistol and the microphone cooked up this as a publicity stunt. The cops were in on the deal. These guys are Paulites. Never was a single conservative patriot involved. Sheesh..........
