MSNBC(D) Video of the report here:

*Notice that the video they use during their commentary about "racial undertones" from gun carriers only shows the AR and not that the man carrying it is black

"A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

Following Brewer’s report, which occurred on the Morning Meeting program, host Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC pop culture analyst Toure discussed the supposed racism involved in the protests. Toure argued: "...there is tremendous anger in this country about government, the way government seems to be taking over the country, anger about a black person being president....we see these hate groups rising up and this is definitely part of that." Ratigan agreed: "...then they get the variable of a black president on top of all these other things and that’s the move – the cherry on top, if you will, to the accumulated frustration for folks."

If we still had reporters instead of commentators

Uhhhh, I myself could care less if "he's" black, red or blue...a black President is totally fine by me.  I just don't care for what the current President stands for in terms of his policies, nuttin' to do with a color.

Just never understood that whole "color" thing.  When I fill out something and it ask for race I check the 'other' box and write in HUMAN.  What's color got to do with it?  What, are we all 5 years old?  This is life, not kindergarten!  On that same level what about the word hate, they say it's a bad word...so then is love also a bad word?  I think it's totally OK to love as well as hate...yin / yang, the one can't survive without the other.  And being prejudice, yeah...I think that's great too!  You have an 8 year old son who wants to spend the night at a friends house and you know, for fact I'll add, that the father of the friend is a drug dealer...you gonna let you kid spend the night...hell no, but then you're being prejudice!  WTF!

Can't we just get to some common sense in regards to life?  We don't ALL have to agree but holy shit are you kiddin' me with all this BS?

When the State Run "Gun Totin" stereotype is thrown out the door by an "Armed Citizen", (who just happens not to be white with no rebel flag and Bible in his pick-up,...)

It blows their minds.....

This is the only way they can spin it....

Sad,....very sad,....
