You can be an idiot and need a haircut, but a barber can't help you with the first problem.

On Good Morning America, ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanolpoulos suggested that the Tea Party might be connected to the mass shootings early this morning in an Aurora, CO theater during a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. The mainstream media attempted to blame the Tea Party for the Tuscon shootings in January 2011, shortly after Republicans swept the midterm elections. Now, in the critical 2012 elections, the mainstream media seems poised to do the same--and ABC News has led the way.
Here is the exchange between reporter Brian Ross and host George Stephanopoulos about apparent suspect James Holmes:

If your point is the human mind tends to draw immediate conclusions that best fit their worldview or experience then obviously I agree.
Stephanolpoulos shot his wad of credibility when he championed the contraception fiasco. He’s a rabid, full-time obamapoligist, and propaganda minister.
Insofar as the “Tea Party” movement is not a political party, per se, but a LARGE group of people who believe in freedom - most, individualists at heart - trying to stereotype them is like saying that laying one brick makes you a professional bricklayer.
Whoever this guy is, he’s a cuckoo bird, probably way more brainwashed by government schools and Hollywood slash movies than Limbsugh, Hannity, or Palin. This incident just gives the leftards an excuse to try (again) to “hush Rush).
You can bet your bippie that if Stephanolpoulos and his ilk could blame them, it would be in court by Monday.
All of this crap was tried after the Fort Hood shootings, but the guy turned out to be an Obama-loving Muslim, and the MSM got eerily quiet, and the perp hasn’t even been in court yet.
I’ve listened to Rush for over 20 years, and I have never heard him advocate any kind of violence or rebellion. In fact, he discourages it because he knows it plays right into the liberals game plan.
He more or less only exposes liberal lies, and encourages people to do their “rebellion” at this ballot box.
Stephanolpoulos and the MSM are seizing this opportunity to play one-upmanship for the Ft. Hood massacre embarrassment to their dear leader.
We knew all this was coming, and it’s no surprise. The media is “one-note-Johnny”, or “one-note-Barry”, as it were. All hoping for a ride on Air Force One, and a mint under their pillow, they’re getting their asses whipped in the ratings by Rus, Hannity, and FOX News, and it Gauls the to the core.
A media who can make a three-day story out of snow flurries in Florida will most certainly drone on about this for weeks to come. But the best way to handle it, is as little reaction as possible from the right. Their accusations are theirs to prove, the burden is on them. Reaction is only throwing wood on the fire.
Anyone knows that if a person can be driven to this kind of heinous act by listening to a radio talk show, was highly unstable to begin with.
The Tea Party? The Tea Party is quite possibly the last hope for this great country. Killing a bunch if innocent people in a dark theatre would do nothing to further the cause of freedom, and conservatives know that very well. It ain’t gonna happen.
How do we know that the guns that Holmes used weren’t from “Fast and Furious”? “Ridiculous”, you say? But it is just as plausible as any thing the left wing media saying.
Fight fire, with fire.
With Ross and Stephanopoulos jumping immediately into the fray to blame others, particularly the TEA Party, it's pretty obvious THEY KNEW BEFOREHAND and may well have been part of the attack.
All America wants to know if these guys are the mass killers we always thought them to be!
(/s)
Jus' thinkin' ~ maybe Hillary should be told we now have a clue about who shot Vince Foster!
From a prominent search engine:
“2119 people named James Holmes in the US | WhitePages
names.whitepages.com/James/HolmesFind James Holmes on WhitePages.
There are 2119 people named James Holmes in places like Texas; Florida; California; North Carolina; Georgia.”
The surprising thing would be if there was NOT a James Holmes who was a Tea Party member
The only time I may even see 5 seconds of ABC (or our local affiliate) is when I use my remote in the dark and hit the wrong button. They have zip, zero, nada which would cause me to waste more than that 5 seconds of time. If they dropped off my cable subscription, it is doubtful I would even notice it unless I hit the wrong button again.
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
If I were the 50+y/o James Homes who was a member of the Tea Party who these professional liars tried to link to this shooting by a 24 y/o, I would find a greedy, money grubbing lawyer (redundant I know) and sue ABC and these 2 vermin for slander.
Freedom of the press MUST end where slander begins. Their power to persuade is so great the need to keep them accurate and honest is mandatory.
Right now our media has almost zero restrictions and just like an over powerful government or business, or church, they are abusing that power with impunity.
It is obvious the advertisers either don’t care or are not paying attention.
...”14 people dead and they can only think of turning it into a political advantage for their candidate. Can you get any lower Mediots?”
Pray for America...”
No, you cannot go lower. If there are persons lower than the shooter, it is media people like that who pedal hatred of normal people whenever and wherever they can. Mediots is a good descriptive term for them.
Old Step&fetshit is still pi$$ed that Monica took his job away!
You succinctly expressed in one sentence what I intended to convey in several paragraphs. Thanks.
Those two morons have the combined IQ of a brick. Their mouths are always overdriving their brains.
You can be an idiot and need a haircut, but a barber can't help you with the first problem.
Ross has a history of jumping at rumors. Four of 5 years ago, ABC interruped programming so Ross could report that the US military had bin Laden cornered in Baluchistan, and werebout to kill him.
Stephy and Brian are examples of Jackass Journalism. I wish somebody on THOSE networks would say exactly that. Hasselback on the View would be perfect.
Yeah, she’d get fired, but it would be so RIGHT.
