The Media Is Spinning A False Narrative
The Resurgent ^ | 6/13/2016 | Steve Berman

Posted on 06/13/2016 7:01:25 AM PDT by Eric

The false narrative emerging from the media seeks to make a few points, all of which are red herrings and straw men designed to take attention from the truth.

The shooter, Omar Mateen, was homophobic because he hated gays. Mateen was unstable because he was mean and beat his wife Mateen had too much unfettered access to guns Mateen was not religiously motivated

Story after story references these points, and they quote each other liberally (take the pun as you wish).

I’m sure the media is hard at work trying to find his “Tea Party” connections.

it’s the Benghazi trick - distract, deflect — anything to protect the One from the obvious: he is incompetent and cannot keep us safe.

If I squint my eyes read hard and think as hard as I can, I can remember the days when reporters reported the news rather than make it up to suit their perceptions.

The left has a real problem here. The shooter was a member of one of their protected groups (Muslim.) On the other hand, his victims were also members of protected groups (gay and Hispanic.) So now the question becomes: “How do we assign blame without offending Muslims, and without appearing unsympathetic to our other protected groups? Answer: Let’s ignore the fact that this was clearly a case of Islamic terrorism, and blame it on the availability of guns!

"The shooter, Omar Mateen, was homophobic because he hated gays. Mateen was unstable because he was mean and beat his wife Mateen had too much unfettered access to guns Mateen was not religiously motivated"

Yet the shooter's religion teaches that it's OK to beat your wife and they you have a moral obligation to kill gays. Further, the majority of islamic mass killings in this country (9/11. Boston marathon, OK City) didn't see a single shot fired. There most certainly is a common denominator in these attacks and it's not guns.

Muslim savages just need pressure cookers. Why isn’t Hillary railing about these?

The obligation to kill extends to all non-believers.

I think in the end, we're going to find out he was gay.

I was listening to NPR on my way to Walmart this morning and the announcer asked "what possible motive could there be?"

The blindness of the left to islam is at the point of mental illness.

Exactly. So predictable:

This has nothing to do with Islam.
Islamic “leaders” condemn this violence.
Gay Muslims speak out.
Muslims stand tall will LGBTQ community.
This is because of Trump and his hate.
Guns are the problem.

...it goes on, and it works too. Just look at the comments section of this article:

http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/06/latest-50-killed-orlando-gay-club-deadliest-mass-shooting-us/

If there was ever a time that the gay community would revolt against Islam it would be now, except it isn’t.

No, because they have been so conditioned that the truth can never seep in to replace the lies they have been brainwashed to accept as the truth.
