MSNBC: No Mention of Black Gun-Owner Among ‘Racist’ Protesters

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s 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.

Not only did Brewer, Ratigan, and Toure fail to point out the fact that the gun-toting protester that sparked the discussion was black, but the video footage shown of that protester was so edited, that it was impossible to see that he was black.

You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried. One thing I have learned in 5 years of engineering safety work, never say the following words: “Well, nobody would be THAT stupid.”

When does white guilt mixed with hatred of all citizens suspected of being conservative cross the line? (Hint: read the above)

BUMP!

They can’t let racism as a tool go.

[envisio]

They do whatever they want. They know nobody will call them out on it and they surely don’t have the ethical fortitude to tell the truth.
The media’s “news” is merely a delivery devise for their agenda.

[MrB]

I believe the man in question was standing with the SEIU crowd.

[WoodstockCat]

MSNBC - ‘nuff said.

Some of my favorite guns are black!........

The media know exactly what they are doing. All this is 100% intentional. Therefore they have absolutely no credibility.

They started out with the mantra that it was angry radical mobs of racist Whites causing trouble at the meetings (a lie) so now they feel the need to suppress any fact that shows that they were lying.

[ozzymandus]

I noticed that all the MSM lefties keep screaming about a “Loaded assault rifle”. Just how do they know the gun was loaded? How would they even know it wasn’t a toy gun? Cops can’t tell the difference, so how could leftie reporters?

[Billthedrill]

The story has to fit the narrative. If it doesn't, it will be made to. And the narrative is one of racist white extremists with guns.

You bet this was deliberate. Twenty years ago they'd never have been caught, either.

[GOPJ]

They can’t let racism as a tool go.

Other than "guilt and thuggery" , racism's the only other tool they've got.

[MrB]

When your only tool is a hammer,
all problems look like nails.

However, it’s long past time to kill this race-victim era.

We can do that by openly mocking any use of the race card.
