The liberal media wasted no time in trying to exploit the shooting in Tucson, Arizona by blaming Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and conservatives in general for creating a "culture of violence" that led to the tragedy. Here is a video compilation of journalists and pundits promoting the meme in the hours and days that followed.

Another day. Another liberal media lynching.

What a disgraceful week.  We reached a point in time when the left isn't even trying to hide its lies.  It will try to destroy an awakened conservative electorate like a deranged Wile E. Coyote until something sticks...

Tea party members bring automatic weapon to town hall meeting!

Oops.  It's a legal weapon owned by a- GULP!- black guy!  Never mind.

Car bomb in Times Square!

Could be an anti-health care guy, according to Mayor Bloomberg.  What???  He's a -GULP!-  Islamic terrorist. Never mind.

Black Congressmen spit on by tea partiers amid racial and homophopic slurs! 

The proof? Well there is none...never mind.

Anti IRS nut flies plane into government building!

You see what how crazy these anti-governmet tea partiers can be.  What?? The guy was a liberal.   Never mind.

..and so on and so on.

Nice compilation of videos!

Schieffer really does need to step down.  And the endless whining over "targeting," man that
is really streeeeeeetching there.  As I said on a prior thread, who/what doesnt use targets
in the computer age?  Gawd, from laser distance finders, to maps, to remote controls, everything now involves targeting and selecting.  This really reveals a leftie agenda about smearing, and then walking away without consequences.

Blame game is still going on.

Was on the Puffington post recently.Because Loughner speaks of the gold and silver standers,some now are pointing out it must be Glenn Beck.Even when we know he played a game online where you created your own country,and monetary system.Plus his influence of the Zeitgeis documentary.

makes sense

I think Beck makes it clear daily that we should go out and murder people until the gold standard is brought back.

Watch how a Liberal Reacts Against People Who Doesn't Agree With

Submitted by im41 on Sat, 01/15/2011 - 2:34pm.

This guy needs to take a hand full of Prozac!    Governor Ed Rendell blood vessels almost pop out of his forehead -- or, by the picture, his fivehead ( about a inch longer than a forehead) --when he is presented with a simple question about gambling in his State.

To be fair to Rendell

Submitted by ckc1227 on Sat, 01/15/2011 - 3:28pm.

It wasn't just a simple question, it was that they kept asking the same question over and over, hoping he would eventually change his mind and agree with what's her face that slot machines are evil, and people shouldn't be allowed to spend their money that way.

Absolutely Abominable

Submitted by DaMama on Sat, 01/15/2011 - 3:02pm.

The leftist liberals have made this a horrific situation with their baseless accusations, saying this tragedy was started by vitriol by conservatives.  This is not only a flat-out lie, it is unethical and immoral.

This 22 year old kid has a history of mental problems.  Geez, even in his picture he looks like he's demon possessed.  His friends and family have said repeatedly that he was not politically motivated.  Sheriff Dupnik started this mess with his own anti-conservative agenda and remarks, and he should at least be reprimanded, or even fired.

There is much more hate on the left.  Listen to Mike Malloy, if you can find him anywhere on the radio.  Watch anything on MSNBC and you will see nothing but disdain for the right by Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and all the other goose-stepping liberals.

Sure, the right has it's problem children.  Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh have been known to shoot off their mouths from time to time.  But the utter hatred comes from the left.  They HATE conservatives and think anyone conservative and especially Christian is evil.  Just google Mike Malloy and you will hear the most vile things - worse than anything Coulter, Limbaugh or Beck ever uttered.  Go to the MoveOn.org site, and you will see the disdain clear as day.

The left has politicized this tragedy, and they should be ashamed of themselves.  But most leftist liberals don't know the meaning of shame.

Very 'JournoList' ish

Submitted by rwnewsnut on Sat, 01/15/2011 - 3:43pm.

Great recap film.  The film obviously leaves out all the left's hate found in the print  media (Krugman,...).

It all looks very orchestrated.  Very 'JournoList' ish.

They are still trying today

Submitted by TerryWest on Sat, 01/15/2011 - 3:54pm.

They are still trying today to tie the ill young man to the right only with a clean up our mess approach, watching Fox News watch this afternoon a guest defended the media's rush to pin it on those they wish to take down "just journalist trying to share the information they have" she said " remember the Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVey, it took a while to learn he was connected to right wing groups, a former military person, the reply to that was "then the media should have waited?" 

a few moments later she went back to this train of thought by injecting " well what we know so far of the Az shooter" implying imo that he still could be tied to the right.
