MSNBC host explains our fixation with the bombers’ roots

nagging fears over exactly why you were so upset with the Brothers Tsarnaev and their recent actions in Boston and Watertown. I’m sure, like many, you were concerned that you might be unfairly judging them for their origins or Muslim connections. Fear not! You’re just fine. As MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry helpfully explains, these factors have nothing to do with recent events.

"Making the point that the Tsarnaev brothers’ Muslim faith at the moment bears little relevance to the investigation into the brothers’ decision to attack the Boston Marathon last week, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry observed that Tsarnaev’s faith is about as relevant to the investigation right now as are Ben Affleck movies about violent events in Boston. Her panel guests agreed, and said that Americans have to “otherize” violent actors in order to absolve themselves from responsibility for or connection to their violence."

There we go. It's our fault they did what they did!

They wouldn’t be if the bomber was similar to McVeigh.

[NoLibZone]

MSNBC is running interference for thier fellow philosophical brothers.

They are conspirators with Al Qeda.

[ExTexasRedhead]

More proof that Liberals are truly insane.

I wish I were dictator.

I would exile Melissa Harris-Perry to Afghanistan or Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Syria or Egypt or...

For one year to live as an infidel woman by herself.

Wonder if she would change her opinion???

:-)

My goodness ... Is MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry lobbying for suckup of the year???

Angry White Fundamentalist Christians..., profiling is healthy.

Angry Brown Fundamentalist Islamic adherents..., profiling is racism, the lowest form of human behavior.

I’m expecting the dead one to rise from the grave at any minute now. The little angels were just “programmed” by bad American ways.

[Gay State Conservative]

And if the bombers had been “tax protesters” like Tweetie Pie Matthews had hoped for?

[dfwgator]

This coming from the same people that were saying the bombings were right-wingers protesting “Tax Day”.

The Media is fooling themselves. Only their true believers fall for this crap. This will cost them the tiny shred of creditability that they have left. The acts were too vile for obama’s cheerleaders to play it down. The real victims will be heard.

[dontreadthis]

they’re assholes, plain and simple

[Colorado Doug]

Wonder if she would change her opinion???

What ever happened to that reporter that got raped in Egypt and started speaking out. I think she got a clue, albeit, the hard way.

The media is already sympathizing with them. Story after story about how wonderful they were. You can bet your last dollar the meme will be that white America made them do it.

[Jane Long]

Americans have to “otherize” violent actors in order to absolve themselves from responsibility for or connection to their violence."

She needs to get Lara Logan's opinion on that idiotic statement.

Being as Islam is the darling religion of the Rats, and Muslimes can do no wrong, of course they will say their religion is not important. We, however, know their religion is the single BIGGEST factor in their evil actions. I just absolutely despise these libtards.

“the Obama White House intends, at least in part, to make ourselves to blame for what happened in Boston – in order to deflect real blame away from the administration.”

Course if they were TEA Party, white, or Christian, it WOULD be relevant, but Moslems, no that has nothing to do with anything. [eyeroll]
