Default The media is racist

Check this out, the guy carrying that assault rifle at an Obama meeting, we all know about it right? There is a thread on it here somewhere in case you don't. Check out this MSNBC video:



The media/MSNBC is going off about a white guy with an Assault Rifle showing up to this Obama meeting.


Now that you watched that, check this out - here is a full profile interview with the guy done by CNN at that rally AND HE IS BLACK!!!!!:


Unbelievable.

Assault rifles are equal opportunity offenders.

Watch the first video. It was a pretty blatant case of race baiting.

Looks like MSNBC was living under the same rock that Subman was.

What is even better, is that the BO biased media and the DNC are targeting phrases such as "socialist" and "Taking our country back" as being racist. Joe Stalin was white the last time i checked....

I don't care about your issues with Subman Max. It looked to me like MSNBC deliberately cropped the video to hide the guys race.

That is some pretty sleazy media manipulation. To deliberately not show the face of the man and then make a racial issue out of it.

At least I can tell my grand kids that I remembered when journalism was an actual profession.

By that time, they probably won't believe it.

I was agreeing with you. It was sleazy stuff by MSNBC, but what did you expect?

You can't get a real news broadcast on the 24 hour networks. It's nothing but sensationalist infotainment cr*p.

They're saying that they've become euphemisms. "Taking our country back" from what? A democratically elected president? Or a black usurper?

from a congress who fails to hold itself to the same standards of pay, health care and retirement as we the general citizenry are held to.

the list goes ever onward.

Been happening for years.

I don't remember people bringing guns to any protests when NAFTA was signed

Where were the Teabaggers when the top marginal tax rate was 50% under Reagan? Or 91% under Eisenhower? But they come out of the woodwork and paint Obama as the second coming of Joe Stalin when he wants to go back from 35% to 38.6% Give me a break.

Quote:

Where were the redfaced townhall spittle spewers when the New Deal was passed?

The only difference now is that there's a black man in office, and so we're faced with a political firestorm and ridiculous ideas like birthergate because "he's not one of us". That's the only difference.

And these people cry and say they want their country back. Well if that's their vision of America, it can't go away fast enough.
