Andrea Mitchell: Group Targeted By Muslim Terrorists is 'Bizarre,' "Hateful'

[See NewsBusters for more.] Andrea Mitchell opened her show on Monday by immediately insisting that an organization, targeted by Muslim gunmen in Texas on Sunday, was both "hateful" and "bizarre." Talking to journalist Ayman Mohyeldin, Mitchell fretted, "Do we know anything more about this, frankly bizarre, draw-the-prophet gathering? Is this the first time they've ever held something like this?"  Mohyeldin warned that the American Freedom Defense Initiative is "a group considered by the Southern Poverty Law Center and elsewhere around the world as a hate group." Mitchell underlined, "The provocative event, held by organizations already listed with the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups, was heavily guarded."
