Let us do a little exercise. Let us compare the reaction to the recent shooting in AZ with the shooting at Ft. Hood. If you recall we were urged not to jump to any conclusions about the Ft. Hood gunman. He certainly did not represent Islam as a whole and was an extremist. We absolutely must not look at Islam in a bad light because of ONE bad apple.
So is that how the media approached this tragedy? Of course not!!! With the AZ shooter it appears the opposite is true. By all means, jump to any conclusion you want as long as its either: (1) Sarah Palin made him do it; (2) right-wing vitriol is responsible for this attack; or (3) he was possessed by extra-terrestial beings from the planet Alderaan seeking retribution for having their planet blown up by the Death Star.... because any of these are just as likely the truth. The evidence of Democrats politicizing a non-political act continue to mount, even when they admit their is no political connection:
- RI Gov Forbids State Employees from Radio - Providence Journal
- If Violent Rhetoric Didn't Cause This, It Will Next Time - Real Clear Politics
- Chris Matthews Blames Levin and Savage for Shooting - Real Clear Politics
- Bernie Sanders (VT) Raises Funds Off of Murders - Weekly Standard
Also, in my last post I linked to article where Eugene Robinson said all of the hate speech is coming solely from the right. Absolutely priceless when considering this:
- Dem Congressman Calls for FL Gov to be Shot - Washington Examiner
- Four Minutes of Palin Death Threats on Twitter - TheBlaze
- Assassination of George W. Bush - Amazon
- Photos Of Death Threats to Bush - binscorner
