How Do You Say Something You Know Isn't True And Avoid Getting Called On It? Let The Media Show You!
Suppose I want to say "Jared Loughner was inspired by a steady diet of Rush Limbaugh, episodes of Sarah Palin's Alaska, and Tea Party rallies."
What is the defect in that? Well, if you're a leftist, it's perfect in every single way: It connects a shooting to your political enemies and gives you an advantage you can't get via your policies. But the one problem with it -- which isn't a problem so much as an obstacle -- is that it's simply not true. But it's so wonderful! It should be true; the fact that is not is more of a defect of reality than a defect of this wonderful sentence you've written in your head. Your ideology is perfect in its precision; it's reality that's messy, disordered, and off-message. So there's this sentence. Gorgeous, really. It deserves to be written. It deserves to be carved in ten foot tall white marble megaliths. But you can't write it. Because of that one littleThe Missed Warning Signs A 2009 study warned that the rise of right-wing extremism could spur violent attacks. But the report was attacked by Republicans, including now-Speaker John Boehner.Now-- having headlined the story about "right wing extremism" and shown a picture of Jared Lee Loughner to illustrate it, you'd think they'd go on to explain how it is Jared Lee Loughner is connected to the right, or even read a single right-leaning website at all. You'd be wrong. Because they have no evidence of that, and if they claimed they did, they'd be fact-checked. So they don't say it. They just imply it so strongly it's as if they said it -- but better, because they didn't say it, so there's no fact-check, and no need for retraction or correction! This is what American liberal journalism is reduced to -- lying by implication. Here's as close as Newsweek's editors will permit this author to imply a connection:
In the wake of last weekend’s attempted assassination of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, which left six dead and 14 wounded, the report’s warning of a lone wolf attack from someone with extremist tendencies seems prescient.Note the headline spoke of "right wing" violence, but here, in connecting Loughner to the report, they will only say "someone with extremist tendencies." Which, by the way, is a lie, because we usually do not discuss psychopaths as "extremists," which implies a political orthodoxy. Which Loughner didn't have -- though, to the extent he did, it was more left than right. But they resort to that because they need to connect this up with "right wing extremists," but can't say "right wing." That is not proven. Not only is that not proven, there is no evidence at all to suggest it and a fair amount to suggest against it! So instead, they say one thing in the headline -- so you know what they mean -- and put the image of Loughner right below it, without writing a single sentence that actually links the two. When they have the chance to write such a sentence -- they don't. Because they know it's untrue, they know it will be fact-checked. So they just continue implying it, this time by shifting the terms of discussion from the headline's "right wing extremism" to a general description of a maniac, "person with extremist tendencies." And, at the end, their method of implying a connection is to report... that no one has found a connection. Yet, would be the operative but unstated word here.
While discussion has swirled around possible ties between accused gunman Jared Loughner and right-wing extremists, DHS on Monday said department officials “have not established any such possible link.” Levin doesn’t believe extremism was the sole driving factor. “This guy is a mentally deranged person first,” he said, and noted that the mentally ill often latch on to conspiracy theories to layer over their already “obsessive and aggressive template.”Note how deftly the lie was there -- they admit that there is no connection to the political extremism they're talking about here, none at all, but then follow thyat up Levin doesn't believe extremism was the sole driving factor, implying that it was a factor, just not the "sole driving" one. There may be other factors; but this one, extremism, was most important. That sentence following the last one which stated there had been NO ESTABLISHED CONNECTION to politcal extremism of any kind, left right or center. In just ten short words, without an actual positive sentence affirming that Loughner was driven by political extremism of a recognizable sort (such as the type outlined in this Homeland Security report), the article states that he was in fact driven by just that political extremism -- by implication, of course. Again, they can't say, so they imply it. They cannot say "Loughner was driven by political extremism of the right" -- not true -- so they say no link has been made as of yet, but political extremism was not the sole driving factor behind the crime. There may have been other factors, other than the political extremism that was the main factor. A factor so main that Newsweek cannot cite a single person declaring that affirmatively in a positive sentence. The rest of the article is about that Homeland Security article saying veterans will come home and murder people and how smart a report it was. There is no connection to Loughner within the article other than what I have sketched for you. The article ends on this lie: Aaron Mehta is a reporter for the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative reporting organization in Washington D.C. See, that's a lie, because "nonpartisan" is a legal category meaning simply "not formally, legally associated with either party. But the media uses this to hide the ideological affiliation of leftist organizations -- yes, the organization is technically "nonpartisan" on its paperwork it files with DC. But that is not an accurate description -- a more accurate one would be "extremely leftist organization which almost exclusively champions liberal and leftist causes and the Democratic Party." Another way to describe it is a corporate shell of George Soros' greater Marxism, Inc., via his Open Society Initiative. (page 19) But you choose -- those interesting, informative descriptions, or Newsweek's choice of the meaningless legalism "nonpartisan." Note to the media: If a lie is so obvious and disprovable that you are forbidden to state it directly, isn't that a sign you shouldn't imply the fuck out of it? Isn't that both dishonest and cowardly? You won't even write the words. You know they're not true. If you know they're not true -- why are you writing them via implication?
Another Way to Put It... JackStraw notices them doing this on Hardball; I've been noticing it too. This is the new normal of "journalism." Which JackStraw describes as:
This is the new technique. Don't explicitly connect the dots, just put the dots an inch apart and let the viewer connect them.I want to point this out, and I think it's important: They're doing this partly because they're political hacks and partly because they're pandering to their leftist partisan audience, which wants to see assertions like this -- true or not! - -and will punish them by tuning out if they're not fed a steady diet of political pornography. Newsweek's and Matthew's viewers don't show up for the truth or facts; they show up for leftist talking points. Now, both of these having pretenses of journalistic enterprises, they cannot simply lie directly. So they don't. They just, as JackStraw says, put two dots thisclose to each other and let their hyperpartisan audiences fill them in. And, if the public begins to subconsciously associate the two together through the cute use of Loughner's picture under headlines about "right-wing extremism," so much the better. Let me again point out that the media is very, very concerned if the "right wing" has "misinformation" about ObamaCare -- like the "misinformation" it will increase spending -- and works overtime to correct these misunderstandings by stupid conservatives. And boy do they. And then they make fun of us for being so stupid as to think a trillion dollars in new government spending will actually increase government spending. But notice what happens when the left if possessed of a belief that isn't true. Do they look right into the camera and say, "Look, I know what you're thinking, but the evidence does not support that?" No. They pander to it. Without saying it's true they imply it's true; they assume it's true; they devote articles and "news segments" to suggesting it's true. Can't say it's true, because it's not; but the leftist audience believes it's true, and whatever you do, you must not contradict them. You must reinforce their beliefs, even if you know they're factually simply wrong. By the leftists, of the leftists, for the leftists. Oh: A commenter points out the Center for Public Integrity is also funded by terrorist bomb-maker and Obama political patron Bill Ayers' Annenberg Foundation (a foundation he gave Obama a nice plush job at). Another Good Article: Someone (I forget who) noted that a blog called "Chequerboard" had also used the South Park Gnomes analogy. The article doesn't just talk about that -- it's a long-ish recapitulation of the left's lies with lots of good quotes beating them back.

It turns out it was all conservatives' faultanyway. From a poster on Little Green Footballs:
"In fact, there is no balance—none whatsoever. Only one side has
made the rhetoric of armed revolt against an oppressive tyranny the
guiding spirit of its grassroots movement and its midterm campaign. Only
one side routinely invokes the Second Amendment as a form of swagger
and intimidation, not-so-coyly conflating rights with threats. Only one
side’s activists bring guns to democratic political gatherings. Only one
side has a popular national TV host who uses his platform to
indoctrinate viewers in the conviction that the President is an alien,
totalitarian menace to the country. Only one side fills the AM waves
with rage and incendiary falsehoods. Only one side has an iconic leader,
with a devoted grassroots following, who can’t stop using violent
imagery and dividing her countrymen into us and them, real and fake. Any
sentient American knows which side that is; to argue otherwise is
disingenuous."

From the Center for Public Integrities Wiki page.
"Funding from George Soros
The Center has been criticized for accepting large funds from George Soros, a politically active billionaire and critic of the Bush administration.[25][28][29][30]. The Web site of one of Soros' organizations, the Open Society Institute, discloses four grants to the Center, all made before his entry into the 2004 presidential contest. They are:
A $72,400 one-year grant in 2000 supporting "an investigative journalism series on prosecutorial misconduct."[32]
A $75,000 one-year grant in 2001 supporting "an examination of wrongful convictions resulting from prosecutorial misconduct."[33]
A $100,000 one-year grant in 2002 "to investigate the political spending of the telecommunications industry on the federal, state and local levels."[34]
A $1 million three-year grant in 2002 "to support the Global Access Project."[35]
The first two grants funded what eventually became the "Harmful Error" report, which was headed by Steve Weinberg. Weinberg is a professional journalist and former director of Investigative Reporters and Editors.
The telecommunications grant supported the launch of the Center's ongoing "Well Connected" project. According to the Center's site, other funding for that endeavor has been provided by The Ford Foundation[36]. The project has won an Online News Association award for enterprise reporting[37] and the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Public Service in Online Journalism[22].
According to its Web site, the Global Access project—now known as Global Integrity—seeks to "collect and disseminate trustworthy, credible, comprehensive and timely data and information on governance and corruption trends around the world." It publishes the Global Integrity Index, "an annual ranking of 50-100 diverse countries in more than 290 indicators of openness, governance, and anti-corruption mechanisms[38]."
Despite their previous connections, the Center documented Soros' political donations during the 2004 political elections as a part of its "Silent Partners" project, which won an Online Journalism Association award for its reporting on the "527" groups that bypassed campaign finance disclosure regulations to funnel millions of dollars to both candidates[22].
[edit]Funding from Bill Moyers and the Schumann Foundation
A 1999 report in the Seattle Times raised questions about the ethical behavior of PBS journalist Bill Moyers by documenting examples of his work that featured sources whose organizations have been funded by the Schumann Foundation, a philanthropic group he heads. Among the recipients of Schumann grants featured in Moyers' journalism has been the Center's founder Charles Lewis.[citation needed]
In 2004, Moyers and the Center were further criticized by Cliff Kinkaid of Accuracy in Media[29], who emphasized that Moyers has also served on the board of the Open Society Institute[39], a foundation started by a George Soros that has itself also funded projects at the Center.

A little off topic... we keep hearing that Loughner was an independent who didn't vote in 2010. Who did he vote for in 2008?
The media are an arm of the Left. The Left aren't stoner hippies anymore. They are the Nazi party. I can't think of any plank in the Nazi platform they don't wholeheartedly support. Propaganda was a huge part of the Nazi path to power. Destroying their enemies with libel and slander is no big deal. They consider genocide and generational theft as proper economic tools. While it is acceptable to be outraged over the media's action re: AZ shooter we shouldn't in any way be surprised.

They want a righty to go postal so bad it aches.
Here's another trick...employed especially effectively while the fog of news is still present. One MFM agent reports breathlessly that "So and so speculates that Mr Lunatic is disgruntled with immigration and health care." The word "speculates" keeps them clear of fact checking. Then the other MFM outlets report that "other outlets are reporting blah blah blah'. And it goes. Wash rinse repeat.
Soon, 5 or 6 "credible" MFM outlets are running the same sentence and it gains traction as a possibility the truth. By the time the facts come out, many have stopped listening and any walk backs are infinitely less passionate and effective.
I heard on multiple stations he was a "Afgan vet". How'd that work out?
Again, I'm not trying to be a bomb thrower, but the left is aching for conflict...

If it's Sarah Palin's fault, you must arrest her. Surely someone with Sheriff Dipstick's (sorry, Joe. Dipstick II) vast Constitutional expertise knows that.

How similar this is to:
[Obastard verbatim in re: Gates incident]
Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that, but I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.
One, he doesn't have all the facts; two, he nevertheless concludes the police acted stupidly despite his stated ignorance of other circumstances; three, he waves the bloody race flag pulled off his handy straw man, his one indispensable tool, despite his stated ignorance of the facts in question.
Fucking shitstain demagogue.

I was thinking about this and the media dishonesty, and the whole, thing and I thought of an analogy...
The media goes around saying now "there's no evidence that Loughner was a Right-Winger, but incidienary rhertoric on the right may be related to it." What is this like, How do I as a conservative perceive this.
Let me explain.
When a husband says "Honey I'm sorry, but it was your fault." What's does the wife hear? Is it
"I'm sorry,"
or "it was your fault"
or "Honey I'm a dips***, who wants a divorce for you to take the kids away from me and leave me paying child support for the next 18 years."
We all know she hear the third one. WHY? Because the But overwhelms everything else, in the same way Leftist Media, your sick twisted "analysis" screams that you think conservatives are an evil other. Guess what, we're not, we just have different opinions, but this whole conversation has revealed clearly what you think of me. And really as a result, it is depressing, because it's not the way it's supposed to be, your political opponents are supposed to be your enemies, but we're treated worse than that, as worse than terrorists. YUCK.

I guess the proper answer to things like what #1 posted
***"In fact, there is no balance—none whatsoever. Only one side has made the rhetoric of armed revolt against an oppressive tyranny the guiding spirit of its grassroots movement and its midterm campaign. Only one side routinely invokes the Second Amendment as a form of swagger and intimidation, not-so-coyly conflating rights with threats. Only one side’s activists bring guns to democratic political gatherings. Only one side has a popular national TV host who uses his platform to indoctrinate viewers in the conviction that the President is an alien, totalitarian menace to the country. Only one side fills the AM waves with rage and incendiary falsehoods. Only one side has an iconic leader, with a devoted grassroots following, who can’t stop using violent imagery and dividing her countrymen into us and them, real and fake. Any sentient American knows which side that is; to argue otherwise is disingenuous."***
is so?
so what? even if everything you say is true, so what? What's the next step, there is none. The guy's a UFO nut who was either a lefty or non political. So what does that have to do with anything?

Presuming that's true, and the other "facts" we have (multiple previous death threats, other actionable warnings, etc.) she should sue him for Defamation so fast his head spins.
When it's some pundit on the Left saying it, that's one thing. When it's the man in charge of the investigation "speculating" that's completely different.
And, since there would be no proof of what he's alleging, the "the truth is the sovereign defense" wouldn't enter into it- as a trained lawman, he should know better than to draw conclusions based on no, or (at most) spotty evidence.

No reason to prove anything beyond that... but if someone who knew Loughner came forward and said, "you know, he told me back in 2008 that he really hated Palin..." that person would be asked for rock-solid evidence as well as proof that he wasn't biased towards the rightwing...

The rest of the article is about that Homeland Security article saying

There is no connection to Loughner within the article other than what I
have sketched for you.
Did you notice how quickly they ran with the misinformation about the shooter being an veteran who had served in Afghanistan.
The second I heard that I knew this was the connection they were trying to make.

It has been reported on at least one Military discussion group that Paul Krugman is a chronic bed-wetter. In addition it was rumored that the first evidence of this was reported to the police by a young child. How the child had the information is unknown, but it has been suggested that Krugman, who wears a full beard similar to many child molesters, has been to Thailand, which is a hotbed of pedophilia aimed at wealthy tourists from the West. Krugman earns a large salary from the NY Times, and won the Nobel Prize in economics, valued at more than $1,000,000.

Well, at least they're being less subtle about it, now.
Lefties have been trying to separate themselves from Communists in people's minds for at least the last 2 years. They know that, factually, the two ideologies are the same in virtually every particular (indeed, I doubt if they're two different ideologies), but if they can say "Left" or "Liberal" and what people hear is "Rainbows and Unicorns," they've done what they're seeking to do.
On our side, we need to push the "Liberalism = Communism" a little more strongly. Not just by saying it, but by demonstrating it. Because, as RR once quoted the head of the Communist Party USA: "The American People will never vote for Communism, but under the name of Liberalism, they will accept every one of its ideas" (rough quote, 'cause I don't remember it exactly). So, if we can make it so when the Left says "Left" or "Liberal" they hear "Communist" or "Socialist," we win.
I hate even having to think about this at the moment, but they won't stop their ideological war against us, so we can't lay down our (rhetorical) arms even to mourn the dead and pray for the living.

In writing "Loughner Belongs to the Insane Party," Dalrymple made two observations. 1. The Left knew the narrative they wanted to tell—that conservative politicians and
commentators were inciting violence against liberals—and were just
waiting to fill in the names and places. 2. The second reason for this eagerness to blame the Tea Party Right is
because many Leftists have, without reason, believed from the beginning that
those on the Right are irrational bigots inclined to anarchist violence.
Easy enough. You see just how far Alinsky disciples take their self-righteous dogma that they alone "deserve" the monopoly on respect, tolerance and authority to abuse; while all others "deserve" utter destruction by virtue of not fitting into the PC mandated template. Bill Ayers organized the means to indoctrinate youth; and Obama organized the facilitation of funding Ayers' educational system with tax funds as well as through private organizations. When Sen. Obama first made mention of his intent to run for POTUS, there were many who researched his past. One of those researchers was Stephen Diamond of the UC Santa Clara Law School and Labor Attorney who wrote many articles published online at the time. The Ayers/Obama connection was via this Annenberg Foundation funded Ayers' project series to convert public school systems into authoritarian indoctrination centers to target not only the youth and teachers, but ultimately entire families and ultimately communities to accept their ideology as the norm. It worked like a nasty charm in Chicago first. And as things played out in time, Loughner's Tucson high school was a participating affiliate in Ayers' Small School Workshop.
Loughner is a product of Ayers/Obama educational system that strongly influenced students' ideology and perceptions.

And the second I heard the word "Constitution", I knew another connection they were trying to make, attempting to tie the shooter to the right via the reading in the Houselast week.
You know, it's kind of ashame that the left can't use their abilities to solve the country's problems, that they can't comprehend facts and truth, that they waste so much time and energy incriminating the right.
It's also a shame that they're batshit crazy, but hey, that's the cards they were dealt.
And the second I heard the word "Constitution", I knew another connection they were trying to make, attempting to tie the shooter to the right via the reading in the Houselast week.

Are we stragetizing correctly here? What happens if/when someone who is a Tea Partier or a Palin fan shoots someone? We're focusing pretty heavily here on the fact that there is no connection between crazy boy and the right. I think we ought to focus a little bit more on how that wouldn't matter anyway. There are crazies on the fringe of every political movement.
Not that even that really matters - there's no connection and they sling this shit at us.
And a big FU to the left for making us have to strategize about a freakin tragedy like this!

It's almost as if they saw the polls saying most people didn't believe them and doubled down.
And why is it that we are even in this arena of debate, where we should self-censor on account of what a nut may do? As if nuts are rational and their actions flow from point to point.
Maybe, just maybe: Some on the right who want to be seen as reasonable and sensible will now realize that the whole of the left absolutely fucking hates you, they want you dead, they want your family dead, they want your friends dead, they want your dog dead, they don't view you as human, your death means nothing to them.
I mean, for crissakes, when their leader kos cheered the death of Americans in Iraq, it was pretty darn clear they hate everyone and everything on the right, and it has gotten a thousand times worse since then.
Anyone see how Tim Pawlenty keeps feeding the lefty bonfire? Thanks asshole, not that I thought you had a chance, but I'll be damned if I let you anywhere near the GOP nomination now.

This is the problem with the left, since the rules don't apply to them, and are applied harshly to conservatives, there's no fear. Even if no one believes them, they think they can kick this dead horse until it become a Willie Horton style talking point.
There are no reprecussions for their lying. They think.
Remember the Wellstone Memorial, they need to be punished again. They don't need to recognize they're being punished, but the public needs to punish their bad behavior.
You can't reason with insane people, and liberalism is a pathology. You can only make your case to the people. So, right now, it seems that the only people watching Chris Mattews are conservatives getting upset over it all.
It's not working and soon it will blowback on them.

funeral service for a 9-year-old girl who was killed during
Saturday's shooting in Tucson.
Unanimous votes by the House and Senate on Tuesday send the bill
to Gov. Jan Brewer for her expected signature.
The bill prohibiting protests at or near funeral sites would
take effect immediately.
The Westboro Baptist Church said Monday it plans to picket
Thursday's funeral for Christina Taylor Green. She is one of six
people who were killed in the shooting that injured U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others.
The fundamentalist church has picketed military funerals to draw
attention to its view that the deaths are God's punishment for the
nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

Well, hopefully, Loughner will have to settle for brain blows and uniforms (as in orange). I don't think he'd ever see the light of a regular cell with cellmates, but if he did, I'm sure he'd have the crap kicked out of him. I bet money, he ends up in a psychiatric hospital. Like John Hinckley, he'll serve some time, but then be "cured" or cured enough to get out.

Outrage on the part of the right does not have any impact on the Baghdad Bobs in the media. They believe it proves their point. However, laughter, derision, mockery, and scorn bothers them immensely. They still carry the scars from grade school, see. I learned long ago that to scoff at a lefty is more devastating to them than to smack them in the face. (Though, frankly, I'd rather smack.)

The Westboro Baptist Church said Monday it plans to picketThursday's funeral for Christina Taylor Green. She is one of sixpeople who were killed in the shooting that injured U.S. Rep.Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others.
The fundamentalist church has picketed military funerals to drawattention to its view that the deaths are God's punishment for thenation's tolerance of homosexuality.
The Westboro Church is like a cancer on the freedoms of a free Republic. How more loathesome could they be picketing the funeral of a 9 year old girl. Absolutely disgusting. Has there ever been an incident where one of those "church" members been assaulted or harmed? It's funny, but you hear about the violence endemic on the right, but right minded people haven't beaten the crap out of these disgusting attention whores. The left probably loves their protests of military funerals, so they haven't pissed them off yet. It's when the left gets angry that violence ensues. The right gets angry, and you get peaceful protests at town halls and tea party rallies. The left gets pissed and you have people's fingers bitten off and people assaulted.

The second reason for this eagerness to blame the Tea Party Right is
because many Leftists have, without reason, believed from the beginning that
those on the Right are irrational bigots inclined to anarchist violence.
Projection. The left consistently calls for political violence that they have been, so far, too cowardly to enact.
So since they consider conservatives to be evil, we must therefore be plotting far worse violence, planning it against real (liberal) people, and actually doing it.

It's counterproductive to go on at great length about how the lie.
They are liars. It's obvious. Case closed.
What we should be saying is more straightforward:
1. The shooter is a nut
2. He's a left-wing nut, not a right-wing nut.
3. All of the blah blah that attempts to tie him to conservative people or speech has been proven to be lies.
4. The person responsible for anger in this country is Barack Obama. It's his MO. Here are 17 examples of how he does it and how he covers his tracks....
5. The people who lie about this are the lowest of the low to twist this human tragedy for their political gain. And they do it gleefully.
6. Conservatives never do it.
7. This situation isn't complicated. Every reader knows the truth. If you are liberal, think about the actions of the people who speak for you. If they care so little about the lives of the 6 people who died or Sarah Palin, how do you think they feel about YOUR life.

The fine fellows (/semi-snark) over at HA mentioned (about the Newsweek article specifically) that it runs for 20 paragraphs, and the stuff about "not the sole driving factor..." doesn't come until paragraph 19.
This is part of the tactic as well. The well written part is the first 3 - 5 paragraphs, then they get as boring as possible to encourage you to think "I know what they're saying" and skip on to the next article. That way, they can say "we said it was only speculation" with a relatively low chance that a reader actually got to that part.

Ace, that's lying by INNUENDO:
From Wikipedia:
An innuendo is a baseless invention of thoughts or ideas. It can also be a remark or question, typically disparaging (also called insinuation), that works obliquely by allusion.
In the latter sense, the intention is often to insult or accuse someone
in such a way that one's words, taken literally, are innocent.

George "Don't Think of an Elephant" Lakoff (he of the genius political argument tactic of "framing," i.e., calling shit by different names) is now out-and-out calling it a "tea party murder."

Pardon me if someone already mentioned this, but wouldn't it have been totally awesome if the car that sits in the driveway of the shooter's house had an Obama bumper sticker on it.
I would have just shit myself laughing. Oh well. Some things just aren't meant to be.

This is dead on. What is the MSM business model? It is to sell crap to stupid people. But how do you sort out the stupid people? Well, you provide batcrap to the moonbats. Normal, intelligent people will stop tuning in. Which is fine, they don't buy the junk being advertised. So now you have a selected audience. Create a world view for them where they are SMART, and so much more moral than those ignorant redneck inbred bible 'n gun totin' rightwingers. Feed that worldview. So they keep tuning in. And then sell them stuff. Let them max out their credit cards, get home equity loans, and buy buy buy more useless crap.
And it works.
And it works.

I don't seem to recall any "right wing pundit, and commentator from fox, and more" implying the entire left wing is to blame for the actions of a solitary deranged loon.
But why let silly little things like facts get in the way of a perfectly good talking point, eh?

The left simply do not care about facts or truth. It doesn't enter into their thinking. Facts aren't relevant to them, which is why they never goddamn learn.
You can lay the facts, like the long history of left-wing hate, incitement, and actual violence, and they just blink and say it's all the right's fault. Because they don't care about the facts.
Someone explain to me how that's not pathological behavior.

Loughner is less insane than MSM, ponder this when a lone deranged gunman kills, his pebble into the pond of society, ripples distortions from a flatsom of leftist antagonism to piss off the average Joe's with lies and mass distortion. Joe says these leftist need there meds, there words of hate will inspire us only vote in greater numbers to rid us of the vines of poison.
We need to say enough of lies.
We disagree with your thoughts.
Sherriff miss the episode, "...just the facts...".

You report this like its a new phenomenon. Hardly.
Lee Harvey blew off JFK's head. He did it all alone. There is no evidence-based factual dispute about that.
But, Lee Harvey was inconveniently about as lefty as they came. Marxist Commie. Soviet Union. Fair Play for Cuba, etc. The left could not reconcile those facts with the narrative they desperately wanted to be true. They needed JFK to be killed by right wing hate.
SO THEY CHANGED THE FACTS.
With that, we've been served 47 years of grassy knolls, three tramps, Oliver Stone, triangulated fire, back-and-to-the-left, Jack Ruby as CIA ninja, and a load of other factual groundless baloney all intended to change the fact that JFK got blown away by a little psycho commie acting alone; a proto Bill Ayers.
What comes next with the Tucson shooting will be to make Loughner a "patsy".

A some what off-point question.
If Loughner could not get in the Army because of his past drug use, could Barack?

What's weird is this article does all the same things it accuses the "media" of doing. It's huff and puff and no facts. Hey, why'd that guy shoot a Democrat, anyway? Oh, yeah, he's a "leftist." Huh?
He's "Peace-nic" with an automatic handgun out to kill all the Democrats who are doing to this country what Glen Beck claims they are doing... because he's liberal? Frankly, this article is plain kookie.
Wehave Arizona Senate candidates telling Americans that they'll have to resort to "2nd Ammendment" solutions if they lose this election and one of them did... in Arizona even; and you still won't face the truth that your leadership is responsible for the consequencestheir violent rhetoric.
Actually, I think you do know the truth; you just don't love America or democracy orfreedom. You love power and money. Websiteopinions like the ones in this foolish article are bought and paid for by those whom are served in misleading the people. I hope Democrats win the next election after America gets another taste of the destructive results of Republican leadership in the House.

Heh. Russ Martocci. "Scum or racist."
This fool Loughner was a nutjob long before we'd even heard of Beck and when Palin was gov of Alaska known mostly only to Alaskans. What is, in fact, "no fact" is that there is any evidence that he was motivated by anything other than his delusional, psycho mind. Go away and spout your shit somewhere else.
