Not only is this the most blatant case of media bias. THEY WERE WRONG!
In the wake of the shooting by a lone gunman at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, the usual suspects in the "news" media have been doing their best to place responsibility for this tragic episode on conservatives.
Targeting right wing talkers like Rush Limbaugh and politicians like Sarah Palin, the left wing media try to suggest that conservatives somehow inspired James W. von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist to do what he did.
Rush gave examples on his show Thursday:
This is a montage of cable stations talking about the incident last night.Newsbusters cites many more examples, such as Joan Walsh, Salon's Editor, who told Chris Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball that Rush Limbaugh, or anyone who criticizes Obama would foster the kind of thinking that led to this tragedy.LAUTER (NBC): Clearly Obama's election has fueled the right-wing extremist movement.
MATTHEWS (MSNBC): This is a political action by a far right extremist
COOPER (CNN): The rise of hate groups in the United States of right-wing extremists.
OLBERMANN(MSNBC): Right-wing religious based domestic terrorism.
BROWN(NBC): Right-wing extremism.
WALSH: There is a rising climate of right-wing hate, a lot of it directed at Obama.
On the same program, Chris Matthews, postulated that Sarah Palin's stand against the further encroachment of the power of the federal government is contributing to right wing hate which might inspire such an attack.

It was remarks made by Jeremiah Wright about “those Jews.”
He was a antisemitic, which does not match the average conservative who's Party most supports Israels right to exist in peace.
Yea, he may have been against Obama, but this nut is so far off the edge, there is no mainstream candidate or party that he would of supported. I bet if you look at who he voted for, it was not the McCain or Obama.
Oh and he was a pagan wasn't he?
Not sure on the pagan but he claims Christianity was a hoax created by the Jewish to destroy Rome. Since Rome was pagan before Christianity the case could be made that this nutjob was pagan.
Earth to Walsh. O'Reilly was on Von Brunn's hit list. Apparently his nuttiness Von Brunn saw him as part of a neo-con conspiracy.
Since everything written by the killer sounds exactly what Chris Matthews spews every single day, I can’t see how anyone could link the killer to the right.
Too bad for the msm agenda that the shooter was a registered dim.
