When Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Arizona in 2011, the media knew exactly what to blame: hateful right-wing rhetoric.

within 30 minutes of the Giffords shooting, some bozo on CNN was blaming it on Sarah Palin. Within an hour, every talking head on TV and many websites were promoting that crazy theory.

When are we all going to realize, meaning the Republicans, that the left are awful people who do awful things? They are now shooting our Representatives and refusing to cover it or using it to promote their own agenda or blaming it on us. Screw their baseball game. Fight them!

That's OK, 'cause they're all blaming MSNBC, CNN, Maddow, Matthews, Cooper and Lemon this time around!

Oh...wait...

We just need to put two video montages back to back in a single Youtube video. One of the Giffords shooting and one of the Scalise shooting.

They devised a media event circus in a Tucson memorial service for the shooting victims.

Sarah Palin was the Uni-Party’s #1 target at the time.

They were using every method at their disposal to remove her from the playing field.

Don't forget...Bill Clinton was faltering in the polls leading up to the 1996 Presidential election and used the Oklahoma City bombing to demonize Rush Limbaugh and the Conservative movement.

The Left will avail any means at their disposal to achieve and sustain power. No matter how repugnant.

Remember, they exploited this moment.
