08/20/09 - MSNBC crops video to push hate agenda against gun owners!

Abbreviations used in VA-ALERT: http://www.vcdl.org/help/abbr.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Congratulations, MSNBC, you have now set a new journalistic LOW, showing that you really have the art of propaganda down pat. At a recent Arizona town hall meeting with President Obama, there was one person carrying a rifle. It was a black gun-owner with an AR-15 on his shoulder standing with other gun owners outside the town hall building. The media almost melted down, as is their tendency when it comes to lawfully carried guns. In their story, MSNBC shows only carefully cropped video of that black gun-owner so that you could not tell his skin color, but only see his gun. They then switch to video of a white gun-owner being interviewed by a reporter. While there is plenty of video to be found of the black gun owner talking to reporters elsewhere, MSNBC does not use any of it. Why did MSNBC crop that video? Because the topic was about how gun-carrying protesters at the town hall meetings are RACISTS!!! You see, the rifle was eye-catching, but having a black man carrying it simply wouldn't do for MSNBC's purposes, so they fixed that little problem. Anyway, I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw this video. I don't suggest watching it while eating or drinking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYKQJ4-N7LI ------- Reminder: Don't forget about the VCDL meeting tonight at 7 PM in Richmond!
