MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer Confuses Al Sharpton For Jesse Jackson And Black For White: Video

MSNBC’S Contessa Brewer is the embodiment of Obama’s post-racial America. Gawker’s John Cook spots Brewer introducing the Reverend Jesse Jackson as the “the Rev. Al Sharpton.” As she says:

If Fox News did this, there would be sit-ins.

Contessa has form. It’s not that all blame reverends look the same to her - it’s that all angry white and black people look the same:

Contessa Brewer spots an armed man at an Obama health care rally:

“A man at a pro-health care reform rally…wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip….there are questions about whether this has racial overtones….white people showing up with guns.”

Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

The video footage shown of that protester was so edited, that it was impossible to see that he was black. The man appeared at a health care rally outside of President Obama’s speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Arizona.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story:
