Aurora Shooting: Schultz Sub Dyson Manages To Play Race Card

Of all the political angles that might be played in connection with the Aurora theater shooting, surely racism would be a card too far, right?

Wrong. Subbing for Ed Schultz on MSNBC tonight, Michael Eric Dyson managed to suggest that James Holmes would have attracted the attention of the authorities earlier had he been, yup, "a Muslim or another minority." Until he twisted her arm, it was too much even for Dyson's super-lib guest, Illinois congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.

Surely even a liberal can’t work racism into Aurora shooting, right? Wrong. And don’t call me Shirley. Ping to Today show list.

Two different viewpoints vied for prominence here. A race-obsessed leftist interviewing a gun-control-obsessed leftist.

Yep...should have expected....some Black Racist was eventually going to play a Race Card

What Black Bigot Boy will not say is that, if Holmes was black, he would be getting a pass from the media....because they will not criticize a black criminal like they would a white criminal

"a person who was more likely to look reasonably offensive: a Muslim or another minority, do you think that the red flag would have gone up sooner than with this seemingly innocent young white man, who under cover and protection of appearing normal"

This brutha just said that Muslims and other minorities look reasonably offensive !! ....and the young white man looks normal!!!

...and the white lady agreed with him.

But we cant stop Mexican looking people at the border to see if they are citizens of the country.

Why isn’t anybody talking about Democrat James Holmes’ (D-Aurora) connection with the Obama Administration and possible link with Fast and Furious weaponry? I don’t have any evidence, but this is a serious charge...and, as we all know, it isn’t the nature of the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge.

Don’t expect Eric Holder to volunteer info that Holmes weapon(s) had “Fast and Furious” serial numbers.. (or not)..

The "race card" works both ways.

Does anyone thing Barack Obama would have made a trip to visit, say, several dozen black victims of gun violence in Chicago?

Of course not. Only white victims are effective tools for political grandstanding.
