Exploiting the Tucson shooting for political gain and characterizing the tragedy as the fault of conservative blogs was a new low even for the liberal media. Their ethical standard was set by Rahmn Emanuel's pithy aphorism about never wasting a crisis. This article at Town Hall explores how the media has handled similar tragedies when suddenly the finger pointing shifted from the right to the left, especially during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Besides the leftist politicians and media who blamed Palin and Beck for the massacre, there are other leftists who instead blame Arizona.
Both are equally off-target (there’s that word again!) and shameless.
They want to beat the anti-tea party/anti Palin drum? We need to beat the false murder blame drum constantly until November 2012 and beyond. Sucks to be on the side of lies.
