"Limbaugh's comments come in response to accusations that the charged political atmosphere of 2010 – of which Limbaugh, Palin, and others played a central role – may have incited the use of violence among troubled individuals like Jared Lee Loughner, the suspect that is accused of opening fire outside a Tucson supermarket..."

This is spin.
1."The charged political atmosphere" was not accused. It was Rush, Beck, Palin and the Tea Party, by name.
2. They were not charged with inciting violence "among troubled individuals like" the shooter. They were specifically accused of directly inciting this shooter.
3. Of course the writer adds that the "suspect" is merely "accused" of the shooting. At least CNN does not rush to judgment for cold-blooded killers that are caught red-handed.
4. Still no mention that the shooter was a Leftist, leaving the false impression that he was a Tea Party sympathizer.

The voters know that. Trying to spin this to folks in media will backfire. Liberals are grasping at Communism.

Yeah, they’re spinning some of it — spin is an unbreakable habit for the Left after all — but the article definitely marks an obvious effort to distance CNN from the hysterical charges made over the weekend.

The MSM is quickly realizing the public is NOT buying the desperate politicization of this shooting. It’s backfiring, and I think that idiot tool Sheriff Dipstick is gonna be in deep doo doo with the home folks.
