MSNBC practices blatant hypocrisy while playing racial politics
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 20 August, 2009 | Dave Workman

Posted on 08/21/2009 2:46:19 AM PDT by marktwain

Media bias has reached a new low, according to Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, courtesy of MSNBC’s “Morning Meeting” program and reporter Contessa Brewer, and he is righteously furious.

During a segment of “Morning Meeting,” Brewer – appearing with host Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC culture critic Toure – launched an attack on armed American citizens who have appeared at rallies protesting taxes and the Obama health care plan. During her comments, MSNBC showed video of a man who had carried semiautomatic rifle at an event in Phoenix, AZ earlier this week. That video, said Gottlieb in a press release, was “deceptively-edited” to show only the rifle and the man’s shirt.

I pray that Rush, Steve Malzberg, Sean and Foxnews blow them out of the F ing water for their dissemination of blatant propaganda. I am starting to think that the leftist propaganda outlets want this guy taken out because that is all they keep saying. As a Freedom Loving Conservative, I want this guy around for a long time because with all of his leftist policies and failures, I want that to be the wrath that finally takes down the RAT party.

This is a Republic founded on Republican principles.

God Bless America!!!!!!!

MSNBC is to news, what Gilligans Island was to the cruise line industry.

You mean the “SS Minnow”

Islands don’t go on tours. But, you have a great comparison!

“but it is real that there is tremendous anger in this country about government and how government seems to be taking over the country, anger about a black person being president; just several upheavals in the country over the last ten years, from 9/11 to the economic tsunami to the black man becoming president, and we see these hate groups rising up, and this is definitely part of that.”

Not anger about an American who happens to be black taking over the presidency you frigging idiot. Anger over that particular Marxist, racist, anti-American africanhyphenamerican taking over the presidency.

Brewer is perfectly representative of the so called reporting on MSNBC. There is not one single honorable on air personality on that station.

All are incapable of making any comments that are not biased and designed to promote an anti-American agenda.

The fact that CNN is not far behind with their own on air personalities is beside the point.

MSNBC leads the way.

MSNBC is simply a bunch of leftists whoring themselves for the Obama administration.

As for their owners:
MS = Microsoft
NBC = General Electric

Both rent seeking mega corporations/monopolists cozied up with a socialist government engaged in hyper regulation of a supposed market economy.

Any resemblance to a certain mid-30s central European nascent dictatorship are clearly uncalled for.

It appears as if the guy carrying the gun may have been a pro-Obama 'RAT, anyway. See below.

VIDEO: Man Seen Walking Around With An AR-15 and Pistol At Obama Rally In Phoenix

It is not clear yet what side he was on, he wouldn't give his name but as you can see reporters are walking up to him, he is standing in the video on the side of the people chanting yes we can, but initially is unclear what he was doing... He was at the pro-health care reform rally at 3rd and Washington streets.

AZCentral.com
A man, who decided not to give his name, was walking around the pro-health care reform rally at 3rd and Washington streets, with a pistol on his hip, and an AR-15 (a semi-automatic assault rifle) on a strap over his shoulder. "Because I can do it," he said when asked why he was armed. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms." Two police officers were staying very close to the man. "What he is doing is perfectly legal," Det. J. Oliver, of the Phoenix Police Department said. "We are here to keep the peace. If we need to intervene, we will intervene at that time."

One more VIDEO I just found, here you can see this same man at the very end of the video..

It appears that he is saying "Health Care Now" along with the crowd at the end of that video, people are asking: Is this guy a plant? we don't know yet.. Oh, By the way, he appears to be wearing Brooks Brothers is he not? Posted by HotAirPundit at 4:09 PM

No one got intimidated - except the media.
Everyone was polite.
No one was injured.

All positive outcomes to my way of thinking.
