Big Media (the BM for short) -- the same BM that demanded that we "not rush to judgment" following the Ft. Hood mass murder by a sicko-psycho -- rushed to judgment bigtime this time. "Right-wing rhetoric" was blamed by some, an ironic claim, it turns out. The shooter was described as "quite liberal" and a "political radical" by classmates.
Turns out when it comes to hateful rhetoric, the left doesn't fare too poorly itself. Caribou Barbie hung in effigy. Il Duce quoted as saying, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun". Ironic.
Of course, Faux News came out all in defense of Caribou Barbie. What? You expected differently? Regardless of where you get your news, children, you're gonna get spin.
Naturally, the Tea Party was blamed as well. Yeah, all of that "hateful rhetoric" about sticking to the Constitution really makes folks want to kill their Congress-critter [/sarcasm].
Naturally, the Succubus of State had to weigh in, calling the shooter, "an extremist". Takes one to know one, I suppose...
But the simple fact is that the shooter is mentally unbalanced. How unbalanced? Enough to where his college classmates were scared of him.
No one is blaming Caribou Barbie, or the Tea Party, or even Calvin Klein for this kook who castrated a journalist. Not the right political angle, I suppose.
Look, it's no secret that I hate Team Donkey and Team Elephant equally. Anyone who thinks that either of them is "the good guys" is drinking the Kool Aid. But the partisan demagoguery on display the past two days has been nauseating. And frankly, you have to ask, if the wounded Representative had an 'R' after her name, would there be all of this finger pointing and whining about "hateful political rhetoric"?
I think you know the answer to that question...
