Gosh darnit those pesky facts! I mean, how DARE the reality of the war on terror force itself upon poor little Contessa Brewer. The MSNBC host was on the Stephanie Miller radio show and said the following:
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 this 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 I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.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 than 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.
And they say there isn't any liberal bias in the media. I'm glad no one said there was no evidence of stupidity...because Contessa is chock full of it. Well, at least she works for MSNBC. She's in good company there.
Oh well, Contessa. Allow me to share some words that I hope will comfort you. h/t to Burgess Meredith from Grumpier Old Men... You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first.

Didn't Burgess say that in Grumpier Old Men?
Hell... he probably said that in all of his films!

Liberals hate to admit that 95+% of all terrorists are Muslims. They also hate that Middle Eastern men are much more likely to be terrorists and just about anyone else in the world.
This is an excellent example or reality slapping a liberal in the face.

Just another example why America is in trouble...
Frankly, she needs a summer refresher course at Head Start....

You know and care about facts and reality? Since when?
She said she had hoped the attempt wouldn't be tied to Islamic terrorism because she thinks there's too much unjustified bigotry, presumably against American Muslims, already. That's a valid concern based on facts and reality, whether you recognize it as such or not.
Given your usual aversion to facts and reality, it's surprising to see you claim they have meaning and importance. Must be tough to be a Repub and have to pick and choose when they're of import and when not.
Is it your way of coping with the fact that reality keeps slapping you Repubs in the face? You loudly proclaim you want Free Market capitalism less fettered by govt
regulations and then Free Market capitalism has a near meltdown in large part because of deregulation.
You chant "Drill, baby, drill," and there's a drilling disaster.
You support Bush's preventive war doctrine and when that goes bad, he's the idiot.
The Catholic Church enables and covers-up child sex abuse and you consider media reports about it "assaults" on the Church.
It'll be interesting to see what facts and reality you choose to believe or disbelieve next.

Anyone else notice Onan's obsession with Catholic priests? I have wonder if there's some history there.

I envy your sheltered existence.
Maybe someone with more patience than me will explain to you the difference between hoping and cheering, although I doubt anyone here is optimistic and deluded enough to believe you'll understand it.
there are a lot of people who want to use this 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.
Does she have you Repubs here perfectly pegged or what?
