MSMBC shows more intelligence

OK, you want to be taken seriously but then you stay stupidity like this...

MSNBC host Contessa Brewer appeared on the liberal Stephanie Miller radio show on Tuesday and lamented the fact that the person arrested for the attempted Times Square bombing is a Pakistani American. ...

CONTESSA BREWER: "I mean the thing is that- and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry. And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case that here would be somebody who is not the defined. I mean he’s accused, he’s arrested you know I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said, I mean, we know even in recent history you have the Hutaree militia from Michigan who have plans to, let’s face it, create terror. That’s what they were planning to do and they were doing so from far different backgrounds then what this guy is coming from. So, the threat is not just coming from people who decide that America is the place to be and you know come here and want to become citizens. And obviously this guy did."

BREWER: "What’s interesting is you know we’re seeing within the boundaries of the United States it’s the people that they’re arresting seem to be you know- these loners, in some ways. I mean, the underwear bomber had obviously been sent. There was a network behind him. But, they’re guys who are, I don’t know, isolated some ways from their families. It will be interesting when we hear what is the background of Faisal Shahzad as we are, you know, of course our NBC crews are on that and looking onto more background there. We’ll find out more. Were there failed family ties? Did he have a strong community network here in the United States? Did he feel isolated?"


I really find two parts of this interesting:

"I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry."

You mean like judging groups of people on your preconceived notion, not on what the individuals are or what they did. I don't see people like Limbaugh or Hannity saying all American's of Pakistani decent are terrorist. But I do see idiots like HIZONORDAMAER of New York immediately say the suspect was probably “Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something.” Of course Katy Curic challenged him…right?
Reminds me of when Phil Donahue said on his short lived show that the DC sniper “You’re not going to like to hear this, but this is a white guy,”

“…interesting when we hear what is the background of Faisal Shahzad as we are, you know, of course our NBC crews are on that and looking onto more background there. We’ll find out more. Were there failed family ties? Did he have a strong community network here in the United States? Did he feel isolated?"

Who cares….he wanted to murder people whose only crime was just conducting their lives in New York City….
