Fire Contessa Brewer

Scott Wang, AzCentral, filed this report:

A man carrying an AR-15 rifle outside the Phoenix Convention Center where President Barack Obama was speaking today has renewed concerns about protesters bringing firearms to presidential events.

“It is extremely disturbing that you have that kind of weapon in close proximity to where the president is,” said Ruben Gallego, a military veteran and Arizona Democratic Party official who observed the man.

No big deal.   Proud citizen freely exercises his right as a free man take arms with him as he travels.   That is what free men do.   Examine the accompanying picture and note the free citizen happens to be black.

Yeah no big deal, until you read how Contessa Brewer, MSNBC,  happens to described this man, via Newsbusters:

CONTESSA BREWER: Yeah, we are closely following here, Dylan, town halls and other events around the country today to see who shows up and what they bring with them. More than 20 town halls scheduled from east-to-west, Virginia to Washington state. Yesterday, as President Obama addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix. A man at a pro-health care reform rally just outside, wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip. The Associated Press reports about a dozen people in all at that event were visible carrying firearms. And if the scene looks familiar, that’s because it should, last week a guy stood outside Obama’s health care town hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with a gun strapped to his leg and police arrested a 62-year-old before that New Hampshire event for carrying unlicensed loaded gun. And the reason we’re talking about this, a lot of talk here, Dylan, because people feel like, yes, there are Second Amendment rights for sure but also there are questions about whether this has racial overtones. I mean, here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists or to their legs.

Allah Pundit, Hot Air, posts a copy of the video:

This one is simple enough for even Jeananne Garafalo, to figure out.  This is straight up racism, pure and simple.  Brewer either knows the video is that of a black man or simply doesn’t care.

Don Imus was fired for referring to the Rutger’s girl’s basketball team as nappy headed ho’s.  Dan Rather was fired for using falsified documents.  Brewer used falsified video.  Fire her lying ass.

We endorse Confederate Yankee:

Contessa Brewer, her editors, and producers at MSNBC should all be fired for this purposeful deception of their viewership, and the cable network itself should hold a open and transparent investigation into how the biases they’ve encouraged in their newsroom have led to such lies. It will never happen, of course.

Note there is no such thing as a semi-automatic assualt rifle.   An aasault rifle is fully automatic military weapon.   The armed, free and proud citizen in Arizona waa ccarrying a small caliber semi-automatic weapon,  that happens to a couple of ugly features like a pistol grip and foldding stock.

Addendum:

Bruce McQuain, Q and O, offer this comments the black gentleman:

Calm. Articulate. Exercising his rights. Black. And, according to the newscaster, one of a half-dozen openly carrying.

[…]

That is just pitiful. And you know full well that all three of those drones pushing the racism line knew full well their example didn’t conform to their racist story line. However, it did give the one commentator the opportunity to bring up the “rise” in right-wing militias and the possibility that someone will try to “hurt” Obama.

As well as some excellent local video:

The black gentlemen wins our endorsement of both his views on Obamacare and the importance of the Second Amendment.

As to the two local reporterettes,  they need to learn the difference between an illegal machine gun and legal semi-automatic rifle.
