Oh, My: MSNBC Carefully Crops Shot of Black Man Carrying AR-15 at Health Care Rally to Avoid Skin Color, So They Can Then Rant and Rave About “White People” Showing Up With Guns When a “Person of Color” is President

Here’s the video before the careful cropping. Which, you know, would have taken less care and effort to run. Cropping and repeating that one almost-still image took more time and effort than just running the real news.
Allah is outraged, as is the Newsbusters

This is really much ado about nothing. MSNBC did nothing wrong here, and the truth is that much of the fury we see at these protests is from racists on the right. What about the dude who had the “water the tree of liberty” sign and the gun? You cannot deny it-many if not most of the protestors are loudmouthed rude crazies. The GOP has gone batty without a leader. No ideas, just screaming and hate. People are getting sick of it, judging by ALL major polls that show the GOP ranks far below Obama and the Dems as far as favorability. Most Americans do not show up at rallies and act like disruptive angry thugs. The “Silent Majority” wants health care reform, and the lies from the GOP are wearing thinner and thinner each day.

The REAL story here is that the guy doing the interview(also wielding a handgun) is a self-described friend and defender of a militia called the “Viper Group”, 12 members of whom were sent to prison for a plot to blow up federal buildings. Look it up.
The african american man being interviewed talks of armed resistance to taxes and other crazy stuff. So, we have proven that the far right gun nut extremists have become more diverse, yet are just as crazy as ever.

So when people rejected HillaryCare in 1993, was it also racism? No, that must have been sexism. Now it’s racism. The left-wing kooks will always find an ism to explain why people oppose their insane policies.
