( Picture Update: Huckfunn)
The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is being milked for political gain. Without waiting for all the facts to come out, the media was blaming the Tea Party, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin. The Democrats joined in the chorus and began to jump on this tragedy for political gain. Then the facts came out about Jared Loughner. It turns out he was into the occult and had a 4 year grudge on this congresswoman. He had no connection to any Rightwing group and people who knew him said he was a Leftist.
Now it turns out the police had known about his threats and even visited him before the shooting. But it doesn’t matter, the Progressive media machine is still pushing the Rightwing extremist theme, just like they push the Obama Boom theme.
To describe the Tucson massacre as an act of “political violence” is, quite simply, a lie. It is as if, two days after the Columbine massacre, a conservative newspaper of the Times’s stature had described that atrocious crime as an act of “educational violence” and used it as an occasion to denounce teachers unions. Such an editorial would be shameful and indecent even if the arguments it made were meritorious.
The New York Times has seized on a madman’s act of wanton violence as an excuse to instigate a witch hunt against those it regards as its domestic foes. “Instigate” is not too strong a word here: As we noted yesterday, one of the first to point an accusatory finger at the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin was the Times’s star columnist, Paul Krugman. Less than two hours after the news of the shooting broke, he opined on the Times website: “We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was.”
This was speculative fantasy, irresponsible but perhaps forgivable had Krugman walked it back when the facts proved contrary to his prejudices. He did not. His Monday column evinced the same damn-the-facts attitude as the editorial did.
Read the rest: The Authoritarian Media
The same media that urged caution after the Major Hassan incident has the audacity to to the speculate about motives here? This is pure hypocrisy and one that needs to be called out. This shows the Totalitarian agenda of the Progressive movement and its media arm. They are trying to create a false narrative about this tragedy to get political gain. So far it’s not working as polls show the majority of Americans don’t think it was politically motivated or that political rhetoric was the cause.
Some politicians are now even proposing Gun Bans of a 1000 feet from politicians. As always, the gun control crowd tries to take advantage of a tragedy. Killers like Jared Loughner could care less about gun laws and would do their crimes anyway. The result of this talk are that gun sales are going up. Some Progressives like Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) even using the tragedy to raise money for political campaigns. This shows how low the left will go.
Progressives are ecstatic when tragedies like this happen. Following the Alinsky playbook, they take advantage of a situation. The Left is gleeful about this murder and the opportunity it can give em. Like all Totalitarians, the American Progressive movement don’t care about death, just how it may help them.
Addendum: Trump on the Michael Savage show.
I speak only for myself and not the Blog.
Donald Trump whom I will support for the Republican nomination should he run was interviewed on the Michael Savage Show. Trump lays out the economic challenges America is facing and how some of our allies are really leeches.
Trump is spot on with his analysis. America is the world’s sucker and it needs to end.
I wonder how Gabrielle Giffords’ constituents in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District will feel, now that she’s landed a book deal which she can write while she’s still recuperating?
