You cannot compare private speculation with a network broadcasting smears nationally with an intent to politically influence. The latter is a violation of the public trust and is immensely irresponsible and destructive.

Read the last paragraph of my post. My point is that people from all points on the political spectrum tend to rush to judgment in a way that syncs with their mindset. Indeed, didn't FOX speculate early on that there were two attackers and that one of them is Indian or Iranian? FOX as the more conservative network slanted the story to suggest Amish terorists before it could verify the facts. ABC as a commie network slanted the story to blame the Tea Party before it could verify the facts.

The bottom line is that at this point, we really don't know anything about this guy or his motives. He could be a member of the Tea Party, an OWS activist, Amish convert, registered Democrat, Environmnetal Nazi, or crazy person without an agenda who decided to kill a lot of people.

If your point is the human mind tends to draw immediate conclusions that best fit their worldview or experience then obviously I agree.
