The extent of the transformation of our mass media into a mere propaganda apparatus can be gauged by the black hole treatment given to a story that pushes all of the buttons needed for wall-to-wall treatment, save one: the villain is a member of victim group acting on behalf of left wing causes. The shooting at the Family Research Council last year has been consigned to obscurity by the MSM.
One favorite meta-narratives of the propaganda media is that crazy right-wingers all over the country are hording guns in order to use them on innocent victims. This framework can be imposed on incidents of crazy people shooting others almost indiscriminately. The archetype is Jared Loughner's attack on a Gabrielle Giffords event, where the media rushed to blame Sarah Palin because a map she had distributed used a target logo on the Giffords' district. Immediately presuming that Loughner had even seen the map (he hadn't) and that the mere sight of such a visual metaphor could incite a murderous rampage, the propaganda media followed their customary methodology for damaging their conservative target's brand with more voluble figures charging Palin directly, and then establishment types putting out headlines like the Washington Post's "Palin caught in crosshairs map controversy after Tucson shootings."
But when a young gay activist named Floyd Lee Corkins bought a bagful of Chik-fil-A sandwiches and brought them to the Family Research Council headquarters intending to "smother Chick-fil-A sandwiches in [the] faces" of his victims after he shot them, he found his target on a map provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left wing outfit that has prospered mightily by raising the specter of victimization by racists (and more recently, gay-haters) and fundraising on the promise to stop them.

What ever moves thier agenda forward
In their world, gun violence is apparently acceptable in order to stop those crazy right-wingers.
“In their world, gun violence is apparently acceptable in order to stop those crazy right-wingers.”
I expect you are correct, especially if it involves government ordered “gun violence”. Then it is not “gun violence”, but “public safety”.
I have yet to see a gun be “violent”. Ever! They just seem to lay there doing nothing, minding their own business.
In a liberals mind even a pop tart in the shape of a gun is cause for bed wetting and school lock downs. Then again liberal are mentally disturbed.
New law: If self identified as a liberal you are banned for life from owning a weapon of any kind. Including pen and pencils. Only golf pencils allowed. Paper too as it can cut!
I googled James Earl Ray to find out if he was a democrat.
According to some liberal forum, he was a democrat, but was probably framed. And in case you didn’t know, all the crazy racist, gun-loving democrats have switched parties and become democrats since the Nixon “Southern Strategy” years.
It is odd how the MSM missed this hate crime...
Aren't they pretty much every time?
Violence of any kind is desired - the more the better until they can claim "crisis" and step on what's left of the People's Freedom.
