I think MSNBC is trying to get the President shot at.


(H/T Ace of Spades, NewsBusters, & Hot Air) I’m aware that’s kind of an inflammatory statement, but hear me out.

OK, remember last weekend, when there were a bunch of reports of armed people at the Arizona town hall? Lots of stories of bemused reporters trying to get their heads around the notion that in Arizona you can wander around with an AR-15 -

Which is not a fully automatic weapon, by the way. You can’t buy fully automatic weapons in the USA*. I mention this because this is apparently news to our journalistic class.

- anyway, lots of bemused reporters, not least because of this picture (via here):

Health care rationing protester, by the way.  See also this video, and stop at about 0:28.

OK, yup, same guy. Now watch this:

They cropped the video to obscure this guy’s ethnicity. Because it didn’t fit their narrative, which was that they think somebody – somebody white - was going to try to hurt the President.

I usually don’t say this sort of thing all that often, but this is one of those times: this is inexcusable. THIS. WAS. DELIBERATE. They had the clip.  They knew that the guy was a peaceful protester making a point about the Second Amendment.  They knew that – by definition – he was not a crazy white right-winger itching to take a shot at the President.  But they altered his appearance so that it matched their argument that there is an active risk of crazy right-wingers itching to take a shot at the President.

This was an insanely stupid move on MSNBC’s part – and one that was dangerous to the safety of the President of the United States of America, not to mention his security staff.  I am appalled that a supposedly reputable news agency would do this.

I would say that MSDNC is trying to start a RACE war...

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Wednesday, August 19th at 9:34PM EST (link)

they are trying to fire up blacks with insinuating that a white man was at the black President’s townhall with a weapon. Their idiot over there from Air America his name evades me but he is fat, white and disgusting keeps mentioning how the whites hate this President and then Olberman and Maddow go on and on about the white racists who want to see this President dead.

Here is what they don’t get WE want him alive and well and miserable from 2010-2012 and then we want his gray haired miserable self to go back to the hellhole he came from in Chicago to think about how he and he alone screwed up the most incredible job he ever could have gotten because he decided to give 21 percent of the public who self identify as liberal everything they wanted ignoring the other 79 percent.

Moe, you are absolutely right about the deliberate manipulation of the footage. A very classless act by MSNBC here. It think the guy was irresponsible for pulling this stunt, but that should be the story – not the racist angle. The producer here clearly made a choice to omit news rather than report.

Ithurwitz STOP your bogus apology for MSDNC....

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Wednesday, August 19th at 9:37PM EST (link)

It was their ENTIRE lineup all DAY LONG who ran this story and OMITTED that the gun carrier was not only BLACK but was also on the pro-healthcare side of the debate ie: he was there SUPPORTING the President. Now apologize to Moe for your ignorance and crawl back to the hole you oozed out of!

Jaded - WTF?

lthurwitz (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 12:06AM EST (link)

Pardon my informed opinion but it has been clearly reported that this group was there as a staged photo op by a group of Ron Paul supporters. And they knew they’d get covered in the reformer area. I made no apology for MSNBC above. In fact I believe someone should be fired for cropping the footage just as Moe had eloquently outlined. Perhaps my friend you should read what I wrote.

It's apparently a sensitive subject.

at the BUT…whenever someone is moving along nicely going along with the diariest and then they throw in the BUT to me PERSONALLY that is negating everything said before it! I also question why you think it is irresponsible for a legal citizen carrying a legal weapon who according to the Secret Service was NO WHERE NEAR the President is irresponsible? It is HIS RIGHT! It is that guy and those around him that will ensure that the government of the United States of America does NOT become a banana republic.

I love that these 2nd Amendment legally carrying Americans are exercising their RIGHT to carry and I will not let the media or whiney liberals dictate to me how to look at the legal carry of weapons. If the left and the oldstream media had their way WE would be left to fend for ourselves with kitchen knives.

lthurwitz (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 10:40AM EST (link)

My beef with this guy “Chris” is what I posted earlier:
“These guys in Arizona, particularly the one with the loaded Ar-15 strapped to his back in a crowd of people will likely hand us the biggest setback in gun rights once an accident happens. When I saw the story about the Ron Paul nuts parading around the protests the first thing I thought of was a seven year old kid reaching up to “play” with this semi automatic assault rifle while the clueless guy had his photo-op interview.”

So I come down on the irresponsible nature of this gun owner and how it reflects on all of us. But that aside, what I was responding to was MSNBC taking that incident and making it a racial issue, which in this case, it was not. My viewpoint would be the same if this guy was walking through a street fair with this on his back, or into a church or emergency room, ormy neighbor’s seven year old kid’s summer camp.

Well...

nilram (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 1:27PM EST (link)

If this guy has any sense, the weapon is on safe and does not have a round chambered. So your hypothetical seven year old would have to pull the charging handle back and put the weapon on semi and then pull the trigger. That’s not an easy feat for anyone at least without being noticed. For that matter if the weapon was “hot”, I think someone would notice a kid before the trigger was pulled.

But for all I know the magazine is empty.

A Drive-by Media Exemplar

potter (Diary) Wednesday, August 19th at 9:49PM EST (link)

Rush has labeled the MSM as the drive-by media for good reason. This is a perfect example of how they manipulate or manufacture the news with disingenuous or evil intent. Like others on this blog, I am convinced that they are trying to gin up anger in the black community so that there will be a confrontation or, perhaps hoping that they can inspire some idiot to make an attempt on Obama’s life so,that they can report on the story ad nauseum. Maybe they actually believe it will increase their bloody ratings!

These people are NOT journalists. They are irresponsible, reprehensible ideologues.

Any clever ideas on how we can push their ratings further into the sewer with the rest of the rodents?

Apparently the Michael Jackson coverage is starting to wane

janis (Diary) Wednesday, August 19th at 10:07PM EST (link)

but they’ve been inspired by the slavish devotion to it over the last months. So inspired that they seemingly can’t wait for the next tragedy to befall a black man. Not the Kenneth Gladney sort of black man, but the liberal sort of black man. But it has to be just the right SORT of tragedy.

They seem to be disappointed that Jackson’s doctor was also black, as it would have been so much more satisfying if he had been an evil white doctor preying on a black man’s weakness and need. So if the right sort of villain won’t cooperate, they’ll manufacture one themselves. These people are quite simply evil.

Oh btw….Squeaky Fromme was just released from prison last week.

but you can buy full auto, there are just a few, rather nasty exceptions though.

Us normals can get them as long as we live in a free state and you are buying a used gun that was registered prior to 1986, after going through the NFA background check/fingerprinting/etc. There aren’t a ton of these around so prices are very restrictive to those who have tens of thousands of dollars (or MUCH more for the rare ones) laying around.

Dealers who sell to govt agencies can purchase post 1986 samples and hang onto them for as long as they hold the license.

So I guess if you want to be totally accurate you should add a little cavet to that statement.

Flagstaff (Diary) Wednesday, August 19th at 11:04PM EST (link)

Given the fact that it’s President Obama that we’re talking about right now, and not President Bush or President Clinton or another President in the past, [now, just off the top of your head, what did ALL those Presidents of the past have in common]–let me ask you this, …you’ve been doin’ this job for a long time, …do you remember people showing up at President Bush’s rallies with open guns like that, carrying weapons?

Sort of sounded to me like he was going one direction when he started the question, and had an epiphany somewhere in the middle.

President Bush, by the way, didn’t have campaign rallies after he was elected. No rallies, no guns. Many of us wished he’d had more of both.

Trying to get the POTUS shot at?

DontBanMeBro Wednesday, August 19th at 11:18PM EST (link)

I read your post twice, and I still don’t follow.

I also don’t get the connection between gun rights and health care reform. Who are these people showing up with their guns to town halls on health care? People ought to try to stay on message. If you throw a protest on health care, wearing your guns–unless you do that everyday anyway–is going to dilute your message. Look at the left wingers. If they throw an antiwar rally of any significant size I can guarantee you you will find the Free Mumia people, the Free Tibet people, the Legalize It people, probably some Truthers (they never miss a rally). End result is less a cohesive crowd with a message and more a disjointed group of loud mouths who like to shout and wave signs for the heck of it. In other words, the nuts. Nuts don’t attract anything other than more nuts.

ah, hmmm, well...

Yes the second amendment means what it says, and the laws of AZ give people rights to open carry, but support is not or should not be blindly given to people exercising rights just to make a point or in a foolish way, or as a Paul Harvey used to say, “The rest of the story”.

Several years ago, I was working in the Gulf coast region of Louisiana and a friend of mine had two of his friends from New York city come down to visit him. The time was just before Thanksgiving that year–the heart of deer season. In Louisiana, that means just about everyone with a pickup truck has a high powered rifle in their back window.

One evening, having a beer at a local bar, one of the New Yorkers said to me: aren’t you afraid of all of these people driving around with all of these guns (he called a high powered rifle a gun)? My reply to him was: no, what scares me is what you just said.

The whole idea has consumed America's consciousness

katesmith (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 3:33AM EST (link)

Which is what they wanted to happen. They want you to think of nothing else. The idea of Obama being killed was even mentioned on a sportstalk radio station Wednesday afternoon in Tampa. I don’t believe it was done with malicious intent, but it still makes the matter top of mind. The guy talkers touched on Obama meeting Nascar guys in the White House, and one says the Obama campaign decided not to sponsor a Nascar car last year because they were afraid he’d be killed. (By a white person is the implication one would draw. The race being considered was in Pennsylvania). Not a huge deal like MSNBC, but shows it’s taken over the mass consciousness. I think MSNBC hired a guy recently just to discuss race issues. Rush Limbaugh was right–Obama’s election was never going to make the race issue better. He predicted it would make it worse.

Well LBJ got carte blanche after JFK's murder

bk (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 6:05AM EST (link)

If BHO became a martyr for the leftist cause and JRB used sympathy to get a Newer New Deal/Greater Great Society to complete the government takeover of our lives, then the left would see it as worthwhile. Obama’s ratings are diving so he’s served his purpose and can be tossed under the bus now if a greater good would come from his death.

I swear to God I sometimes feel that’s how these people on the far left think. The coverage of Michael Jackson would seem like a blip. You’d have MSNBC etc. going 24×7 with racial propaganda. More than for any previous president, I pray to God that nothing happens to Obama.

BTW Does anyone see anything that all the MSNBC hosts have in common? Apparently it’s okay to hire only white people as long as most of them are anti-white racists. I wonder how many of them would volunteer to give up their job and let some perfectly qualified black man or woman have it so that MSNBC’s lineup would look more like “America” and less like “Vermont”?

 
 

Liberal Dementia

aposematic Thursday, August 20th at 6:16AM EST (link)

All liberals really care about is promoting and supporting their ideology. When facts and history don’t support their dementia, they just make up fictitious facts or rewrite history. MSNBC’s account of the AR15 at an Obama “pep rally” is just another example of liberals creating fictitious facts to support their demented ideology.

Do the liberals make up these fantasy facts on purpose…of course they do! However, their dementia prevents them from knowing they are doing it. We should all feel sorry for them…not.

Remember Kennedy, and how beloved he is in certain circles. If he had stayed alive, he would have been the incompetent fool that got us mixed up in Viet Nam instead of the ruler of Camelot and symbol of all that is good about the best and brightest.

When will they start to realize that most of us on the conservative/libertarian side of the aisle could care less about what color Barack Obama is. While I would have never voted for BO, it had nothing to do with him being black. There are at least a half a dozen black men or women that I would not think twice about voting for. To answer the question: “Is MSNBC trying to get Obama shot?” I wouldn’t put it past them. Then their failure of a President will become even bigger than he already is. If it happens, which I hope it doesn’t, it’s not likely our side that would do it. We are smarter than that.

Well, I think I would conceal, but possibly open carry might help avoid events from ever escalating like the beating a man received which hospitalized him.
Yes, the thugs might just respect the show of the ability of personal defense which might not be a bad idea in view of the potential risks of just stating your opinion.
Or are we forbidden to attend the Pro-Health care town hall rally’s if we are in opposition? We certainly are not welcome.
Some people are not content to stay at home, safe and sound whilst the government proceeds to further their agenda to control, tax and enslave the entire US population…\
I think they are very honorable for taking great personal risk by showing up to speak their minds.
