For the media to blame anyone prior to facts coming out is wrong. To name a person (Sarah Palin) is below contempt to me. How can someone actually say that Palin wanted innocent people dead or injured? What today’s events taught me is that the media will use any means necessary to reduce the Tea Party movement OR anyone who speaks their mind.
Keith Olbermann goes after people by calling them the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I suppose that nightly rant could push a crazy person over the edge, but the liberal media never points that out. Instead, the media talks about toning down the rhetoric like that’s somehow the answer.
Rhetoric isn’t the cause. In fact, rhetoric probably prevents a number of these tragedies from happening. If a crazy person hears his views being expressed forcefully, he’s probably less likely to go on a rampage. But if he doesn’t ever hear his views being expressed, he might be more likely to go on a rampage. So let’s continue to exercise our freedom of speech and not change our behavior just because some nut went off the deep end for reasons God Himself probably can’t even explain.
