Reprehensible even by MSNBC standards
by Rossputin | 12:26 pm, August 20, 2009 | 1 Comment
An MSNBC anchor used a cropped picture of a man (legally) carrying a weapon near an Arizona health care rally to raise the issue of “racial tensions” and “white people showing up with guns.” What was cropped out of the picture was the man’s head and lower arms…which would have shown viewers that the man was black.
NewsBusters has the story here:

Although it will lead to nothing, Americans for Limited Government is calling for the firing of those involved with the broadcast.

First let me say that I think people that carry firearms to the health care debate are floggin idiots hurting the cause of liberty but your right, MSNBC tried to make this about racism. They only showed his gun but no his face or skin…Funuckingbelievable.
