Here It Comes: In Shooting's Wake, Media Gear Up to Slime Conservatives
The recent shootings in Tucson, Arizona were absolutely horrible. Because of the actions of one demented misfit, there is terrible suffering, society has been deprived of productive citizens and families will never be the same.
Jared Loughner was a volatile powder keg that was bound to explode, but the sad fact of the matter is that although there were many people who viewed him as dangerous, nobody could do anything about it.
The bare facts alone are tragic and sordid enough but I noticed that something is creeping into the reporting of the incident. Some of the more left-leaning media would like us to believe that this demented young man went on his murderous spree because he belonged to some fringe far-right organization or had sympathies toward the Tea Party’s political agenda.
Actually he was described by one of his classmates as quite liberal and a political radical, another said she sat close to the door of the classroom because she felt that he was the kind of person who could walk into the classroom one day with a gun and start blasting.
He was described by others as reclusive, into drugs and obsessed with the 2012 doomsday prophecy. To give you a little insight into his disturbed mind, he lists Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and “The Communist Manifesto” among his favorite books on his YouTube page.
Most of this is second hand information, and I know nothing about the extremist group he is suspected of belonging to, don’t even know the name of it, or what their philosophical or political beliefs are but I do know at least a little about the Tea Party.
First of all, the left wing politicos and the mass media in this country are scared to death of them, and slam them every chance they get, whether the information they’re using is erroneous or not.
Secondly, the Tea Party is made up of everyday American citizens who have one thing in common, they are fed up with the status quo, the worthless politicians in both parties who make empty promises, don’t even read the bills they force on us and sell out the security and future of America by not lifting the ban on drilling and opening up every energy source in this nation to stop our dependence on nations that hate our guts.
This is just common sense, something that is in short supply in the District of Columbia.
If the Tea Party has radicals in their ranks, they haven’t shown their faces as yet and one thing I will hang my hat on is that this demented young man is as far away from a typical Tea Party member as Alaska is from Tasmania.
It’s strange that the media is so careful to remind us that Islam is not to blame for the atrocities that are carried out in Allah’s name, (Remember how stringently we were warned not to jump to conclusions regarding Maj. Nidal Hasan’s motivations for the killings at Ft. Hood?) and before the attempted Time’s Square bomber was identified as Faisal Shahzad, New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, suggested that it might have been the work of someone who was unhappy that Obamacare had been passed by Congress.
The media is also there to remind us not to condemn the homosexual community for some of the most vengeful and macabre murders on record committed by the violent among them, and they are very careful not to criticize the millions of illegal aliens in this country when they report the crimes committed by some of their number.
So, why the obsession with the Tea Party?
I think I can tell you why, because it’s a real movement, started by real people who are seeking real answers.
It is one of the few genuine things that is, "by the people and for the people" that has happened in this country for a long time.
What the media and the others fear is that they may well shine some light in the dark places that have been the private preserve of the elite in crowd for so long and expose the lies and corruption that have plagued the politics of this nation for so long and that the national media has ignored except for, protecting those they favor and condemning those they don’t.
It is desperate move to try to tie the actions of a mentally unbalanced psycho to a group of decent American citizens who just happen to be of a different political persuasion.
And it ain’t gonna work.

.. however, the press didn't have to "gear up" to start the sliming of conservatives - they hit the ground running, almost before the empty shell casings hit the pavement.
This was seen as an opportunity - a Godsend - by the national media to raise the vitriol to a new level and to divide the country even further than usual.
And, they are capitalizing on it.

The more the media jump on

The more the media jump on the Tea Party and conservatives, the more ignorant they sound. MSNBC has totally forgotten about how horrendous and "vitriolic" Keith "No Nuts" Olbermann is. Since this nutjob shooter tended to lean to the left, then I think we should blame ol No Nuts for the whole incident...he made him do it. I'm so disgusted w/ the remarks I'm hearing on the NEWS and in print. The media is where our problems lie as a country.

Michelle Malkin has put together a great rebuttal for anyone who needs to respond to some assinine liberal about this. Be warned however that once you put them in their place intellectually, they will probably resort to violence to shut you up. The piece shows that is their history. It's sad they have such short memories.

This whole sordid affair was
Submitted by Barack_must_go..... on Mon, 01/10/2011 - 4:08pm.
This whole sordid affair was actually a covert operation of the ' vast left wing ' conspiacy group that resides ( czars ) in the bowels of the Obama White House.
Their first recruit was that lunatic ( supposedly right wing loon ) that flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas.......that one just fizzled and faded away.
Now they've got a big problem, as Lougner, their second domestic terrorist recruit forgot to shoot himself, like they rehearsed.
They can't risk that he will talk exposing their diabolical plan, so their going to have to send in another operative, to shut him up. He probably won't make it through the weekend without hanging himself in his cell.........nod,nod,wink,wink.

the real thing...
Submitted by retrocon on Mon, 01/10/2011 - 4:08pm.
The real thing that the libs are gearing up for is more gun control, and a big step toward further speech control. Long after everyone knows that this kid is a just a whacko, and likely a lib leaning whacko, the gun and speech control debates will go on, as if it were the guns or the conservatives fault, regardless of the facts. The kool-aid drinking libs will, in a years time, be rewriting history to their liking.
Just keep watching.
The blood is on Sarah Palin's hands?
Submitted by ricklail on Mon, 01/10/2011 - 5:02pm.
From my study of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob will only hold one person responsible-the shooter. The left likes to talk about the blood on the hands of the conservatives. When they stand before the Almighty Judge there will be no excuses. God is not a Democrat who will allow one to blame someone else for their doings. Sarah Palin's, Beck's, and Limbaugh's hands are clean accodring to the Judge of all the universe. .
Who is to blame now?

It seems the idiot was on the sheriff's radar and he did nothing about it. How about it Sheriff. You were so quick to blame others.
