Gun Control Advocates & Liberal Media Bias Evident in Coverage of Mass Shootings
examiner.com ^ | 16 February, 2013 | Winston Dorian

When you look at recent mass shootings that have occurred recently there is one specific incident that is very rarely if ever mentioned by the liberal media and Gun Control advocates.

The Ft. Hood Shooting is never cited or discussed or even mentioned by the Anti's and Gun grabbers like Bloomberg, Schumer, Boxer, Feinstein, McCarthy or Cuomo. They only cite the Tucson, Aurora and Sandy Hook events as reason to restrict law abiding citizens their rights. WHY?

One must make a few assumptions to uncover why they rarely if ever cite the Ft. Hood mass shooting in their quest to deny law abiding citizens their 2nd Amendment rights.

It has not received the attention nor coverage that other mass shooting have received because it occurred on a military installation while Obama was the Commander in Chief.

It has not received the attention nor coverage that other mass shooting have received because the perpetrator was Muslim and it is not politically correct because the President himself sympathizes with the Muslim plight across the world.

It has not received the attention nor coverage that other mass shooting have received because the victims were military personnel and they just don't have the same impact as civilians and children for good demagoguery.

What really rankles me is that it is labeled as Workplace Violence.

Both protecting 0bama’s record of homeland protection and preventing the survivors from receiving aid and benefits.

I would also bet good money that these murdering bastards were DU or Kos members. I’ll bet Dorner was especially so, since his manifesto reads like a Kos diary.

Ft. Hood is not mentioned because it doesn’t help to advance the liberal (er, now “progressive”) agenda.

I believe these cartoons are as brutal as the ones Herblock did for the Washington Post years ago.

All of them border on Libel in my book.

I would compare them to the anti-semitic cartoons of the Nazi regime’s propaganda arms.

A decade of dehumanizing the Armenians, Jews, Kulaks etc via state propaganda, and you will lots of volunteer executioners.

Read about Reserve Police Battalion 101 in Poland. Not SS, not fanatics, just ordinary conscripted older married German men, and they were happy to shoot Jewish babies in the head.
