Some Real Thoughts About The Tucson Shooting

Another crazed lone gunman went on a shooting spree, which included Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D) from Tucson, Arizona... And, of course, the left-wing media is crying to the heavens about the supposed threat of right-wing extremists. Here is an example:


Of course, no self-proclaimed "liberal" (I'm still puzzled about what's actually liberal about the modern American "liberal" movement, but that's a whole different topic) is bitching and moaning about left-wing terrorists, such as the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front... But you obviously can't expect these so-called "journalists" to be objective.

The New York Rag has gone so far as to call for the "quieting [of] the voices of intolerance." What's that supposed to mean? Should we just white out that pesky First Amendment and install some wise overlords at a federal agency who will tell us what to say, what to write, and what to think? Thought control...

And, of course, there is a problem with the official left-tard version of events. The killer was actually a registered Democrat whose favorite books included Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto, both two great pieces of left-wing literature.

The Southern Avenger, as usual, does a great job destroying the lies propagated by the left-wing media:


Of course, the entire point isn't to bitch about what some nut's political beliefs were. Obviously, this guy was crazy. As someone pointed out:

For crying out loud, do we know anything about why this guy did it? Is there any indication this was politically motivated, other than the fact that he shot up a political event? Maybe he hated Giffords for some personal reason. Maybe he hates the federal government and wanted to kill his local representative, regardless of the representative's affiliation. Maybe he's just a mentally disturbed man who wanted to kill a bunch of people and figured a political event is a good place to do it. Maybe he's another John Hinckley, Jr., trying to get the attention of Kristen Stewart or something.

It is an incredible accusation to say Palin or others are tangentially responsible when you have zero information as to why the kid did it. Sure, it fits the story of a right extremist provoked by political rhetoric into 'doing something,' but we still have no idea if that's the case. I know I'm expecting too much of a person like Olbermann, but damn, show a little patience and restraint.

Isn't it sad that some guy on the internet has a better view of the news than our entire alarmist news media combined? I think so.

Here's ReasonTV with a little, ummm, reason on this tragedy:
