MSNBC distortions trying to start a race war, distortions on guns

I have written extensively about the media distortions over people carrying guns at various health care protests (see here).


Showing the clip of a man carrying the “assault rifle,” but editing it so that one was not able to see the man’s race, Contessa Brewer said: “But also there are questions whether this has a racial overtone. I mean here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their wastes.” Another person on the same show noted the “anger about a black person being president” and about "the black man becoming president. You know we see these hate groups rising up.”

Now watch this and you will see clearly from CNN that shows the man carrying the gun is black.


UPDATE: Of course the entire event in Arizona was staged.

"Oh, it's more planned than you think," Hancock responded. He then let loose with a string of details, including how Hancock contacted the Phoenix police department days before the event and how he was partially motivated to do so because of the controversy surrounding William Kostric, the man armed with a gun outside of Obama's town hall in New Hampshire last week. . . .

UPDATE2: I posted elsewhere this response from MSNBC.
