As NewsBusters previously reported, ABC's Brian Ross on Friday falsely accused a Tea Party member of being the "James" Holmes that orchestrated the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado.

"Jim" Holmes during an interview with the Daily Caller had some harsh words for his accuser saying, "What kind of idiot makes that kind of statement?”

“Really, seriously, how do we take a journalist seriously when it’s pretty clear they really haven’t done any sort of check on their facts?” told the Caller's Alex Pappas:

Holmes informed Pappas that ABC News didn’t contact him before Ross went on air.

In fact, he still hasn’t heard from anyone there or received a direct apology...

Look what Obama supporters really think!

"More people (illegals) died in Texas than in Colorado"

Wasn’t BRIAN ROSS the shower door guard for Sandusky at Penn State? Oh wait that was Brian Rose. Sorry.

"I've heard that both are child molesters. I hope its not true."

I read that Ross is an alcoholic, gay, faux-wife beating child molester, actually. He also has embezzled millions from ABC.

Now, I can't be sure it's the same Ross.....but that obviously doesn't matter any more, so........

Yassir, and more people died from gunfire last weekend in Chicago, noted Gun-Free-Haven, than in the theater in Aurora.

Guess that wasn’t on this richardhead’s radar. Illegals, way more worthy of respect than American citizens, in how they live and how they die, according to our opposition.

So this is what passes for investigative journalism these days. Just Google the person’s name and run with the first interesting thing that comes up. Proves once again, you gotta be a real piece of work to be a Zero voter.

Good job on the Alinsky move. We are learning.

Thanks for your research. This is obviously a serious charge that needs to be answered immediately.

Brian Ross made some half@**’d apology that didn’t amount to a hill of beans and totally didn’t mean it! I hope this guy sues them for all they’re worth, which given their reporting skills, isn’t much!

[Paladin2]

Brian Ross, Brian Williams, George Snuffleupagus, Andrea Mitchel, et. al. have crossed the boundary. It’s open season.

[plain talk]

Someone needs to get some sort of video of him and put it on Youtube to get more attention (if it is not there already). MSM doesn’t give a damn and it would probably get more exposure on Youtube anyway.

James Holmes the murderer does look like a Dem voter. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the crazed look in his eye like I have seen in the faces of so many of them before.

We must make pickup trucks illegal...

Lordy! Don't give 'em any ideas!

I'm sorry people died in that pickup, but they should have stayed home...in MEXICO!!...Just sayin'.....

And, furthermore they hit a tree. Not a chance that they were in WEST Texas.

[MtnClimber]

Ross should have said “Yes, the left has killed about 150 million of our own citizens, not in war, but to create utopia. Seems we just have not done enough and need to demonize future victims we do not agree with.”

[luvie]

No joke that!

[bergmeid]

They typed into google the words “James Holmes Denver Tea Party”. Not “James Holmes Denver”. Big difference. This was DELIBERATE. At the standing orders from that freak in the White House, after all, “never let a crisis go to waste”.

“Brian Ross is NO idiot, he knew exactly what he was doing.”

Now, Sar Bar, as a liberal Ross is an idiot regardless of whether
or not he acts in a purposeful manners It’s just who they are. ;-)

[Sarah Barracuda]

Very true I stand corrected :)

[presently no screen name]

McLellan doesn’t make him/herself anonymous. Maybe the accused can send an email.

And then there’s the information that came out this afternoon revealing that some ABC reporter had contacted Mrs. Holmes early in the morning of the shooting and asked her if she were the mother of James Holmes of Aurora, Col. - it was to this question that she answered “you have the right person”, which was later quoted out of context to make it sound as though she were saying she knew her son was guilty of the shootings - ABC sure jumped the shark on this one.......
