    Default MSNBC crys wolf over assault weapon

    http://mindyourowndamnbusinesspolitics.com/wordpress/2009/08/20/msnbc-cries-wolf-on-assault-weapon-racism/

    Another one for the liberal guards. They used the black man again. This time they called him a white man. I think they cherry picked the black guy because he had the scariest looking gun. They was white gun owners there too but they ignored them for some reason? I think it was the eotech that looked the scariest? I just want to know what his user name is on here and buy him a beer.

    By now you probably know the story; MSNBC showed video of a man armed with an assault rifle at a health care rally. MSNBC made a big deal of the racial overtones in the armed man’s presence; this was they said, part of the anger built up because a black man was elected president.

    The problem with MSNBC’s analysis is that the armed man is also black. MSNBC seems to have deliberately not shown his face and hands in their video. The video, combined with MSNBC’s commentary calling the gun toting man symbol of “Racial overtones,” was no different than had they committed their lie by saying, “A white man carrying an assault rifle.”
    Let’s stipulate right here that this man was wrong to carry an assault rifle to a political rally held in these United States of America. Yes, I know he had a license for his guns, but I don’t care. He was wrong. He is a kook. There is no justification for his action.
    Folks, racism is still a part of America. MSNBC falsified their report to make this incident into racism. That is race baiting and in cases like this race baiting is as bad as racism itself because it desensitizes people to real acts of racism. How can Americans fight racism when people assume that news reports of racist incidents are fabricated? What MSNBC did was very wrong. The American people need to be well informed and to be well informed they need to trust news outlets. This blatant distortion of the truth will hurt our nation deeply by further reducing trust in the press. People that actively work to move this country past racism should denounce MSNBC. Every decent American should denounce MSNBC for this bit of extremism in search of better ratings.
