Mr Credentials Tecs gets in trouble

Wiki sums it all up (pretty well, for a change): On July 20th, 2011, while debating the debt crisis on her MSNBC show with Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Brewer made a fool of herself according to many in the media and defended recent deficit spending saying; "We were looking at reverting into a depression at that point." Brooks said he disagreed, which prompted an agitated Brewer to inquire, "Do you have a degree in economics?" The Congressman replied "Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors." According to his Congressional web site, "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School." After the interview, Brewer commented on her Facebook Page that she "just learned why lawyers are told never to ask a question they don't know the answer to".

Of course, the powers-that-be will soon erase this paragraph.

Standard pinko featherhead:

In August 2009, Brewer was criticized by conservative blogs for a story about a man carrying an AR-15 assault rifle at an Obama appearance in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 17. MSNBC was accused of editing the video to conceal the race of the man, who was black, and Brewer commented "you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists or to their legs."

In May 2010, Brewer received criticism for her comments about the Times Square car bomb attempt:

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 I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.
