Democratic Rep. (Bill Pascrell, Jr. (NJ-8)) Blames Fox News for Gabrielle Shooting
Human Events ^ | 01.08.11 | Jason Mattera

Posted on 01/09/2011 7:48:12 PM PST by Coleus

Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a New Jersey Democrat, blamed the Fox News Channel for today’s shooting spree that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded and four others slain. 

He told a local New Jersey paper shortly after the incident, "There's an aura of hate and elected politicians feed it, certain people on Fox News feed it.”

He continued: "I'm sitting here talking to you and my Blackberry's sending alerts that say 'take caution.' Take caution? I'm in the United States of America!" 

Pascrell represents the city of Paterson.  Meanwhile, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman blamed conservative media titans Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for the shooting, which took place outside of a Safeway grocery store in Tuscon, Arizona.

In a blog post earlier, Krugman wrote: 

 “You know that Republicans will yell about the evils of partisanship whenever anyone tries to make a connection between the rhetoric of Beck, Limbaugh, etc. and the violence I fear we’re going to see in the months and years ahead. But violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate.  And it’s long past time for the GOP’s leaders to take a stand against the hate-mongers.”

Just another recipient of the RAT talking points.

We’re gonna have to wait for this meme to pass or mount a counteroffensive.

This is a huge Reichstag Fire type attempt to destroy the conservative movement.

Bring on the civil lawsuit and get laughed out of a court idiot BUT be prepared for a massive countersuit from the network.

Well, what could one expect from a Nobel "Peace" prize winner -- but incitement to murder? Look at the track record. The prize is dishonest, political and complete garbage.

One of the few things lower than a "Nobel Peace Prize Winner" today is a "Scientist," though I issue personal exemptions for a few of the latter. (I rate "Used-Car Salesmen" above both, sans afore-mentioned exemptions, based on my purchases of used cars.)

My local news (DC ABC Channel 7) is saying that the shooter has an association with American Renaissance - an anti-semitic, racist anti immigration group....

I thought that rumor had been proven false. If I was this group I’d sue for libel. This is not news reporting - this is MSM lies and spin.

He posted in several locations. We could probably find Loughner posts on ABC, MSNBC or CBS. Could we then say that “they” are linked to Loughner?

Media will vac the hit for all its worth, as will all our loving agenda freeks. Aforn we all stampeeded hither thither &…

Real Perps have plenty of time to plan. Real perps never do the hit. We will see them not.

Connecting the dots will never happen without dot connectors, ref Dallas: John, Linden, Lee, Jack and tgn co-assin.

This Slaughter to Obscure murder may feed Shep, Heraldo and friends for a few days. Befor to long an “I shot the sherif, but I didn’t shoot the depuity” sinario may close the loop. Years will pass.
