Arizona shootings, my editorial submission, shameless vanity
A Gannett publication | 1/16/2011 | Self

Attack on Arizona Congresswoman Giffords

The attempted murder of Congresswoman Giffords and the tragic killing of six others in Arizona has again exposed the political left. Before the assailant’s weapon had cooled off, leftists from all corners were scrambling to try to connect the madman’s act to Conservatism, talk radio, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Tea Party and Sarah Palin.

They have since been exposed as misinformed at the best, liars at the worst; the gunman has been shown to be one of their own. Yet their assault on the First and Second Amendments continues unimpeded by the facts. Shut up the conservative talkers, disarm all but the elite, that’s the goal.

Even Fox News, with no Progressive viewers to try to please, had a display box stating that Giffords’ congressional seat was on Palin’s “hit list”. Implying, of course, that Palin advocates political violence. One would expect that level of misleading comment from MSNBC, but Fox?

This may well be the Reichstag Fire moment that the “never let a crisis go to waste” administration has been seeking as well. What better opportunity to stifle political opposition and restrict the right to self defense than in response to a horrific crime? With the complicity of their enablers in the media, of course.

Prayers for the full recovery of the Congresswoman, the more than a dozen others wounded, and for the families of the six killed (including a nine year old girl). And prayers that the truth will break through the media smokescreen to daylight!

I submitted this to my local newsrag- a Gannett paper, and surprise- they printed it as the featured letter, without any edits. Since Gannett says we can't use their stuff, and since it's mine, I'm passing it on this way- as a shameless vanity.

Great summary. Maybe seek syndication?

According to the American Spectator... it was all being pushed by the White House behind the scenes.

Someone wrote Dunik’s original statement for him, imho. It was quite “lawyerly.”

Marxists are always able to swiftly take charge of any crisis event due their their superior organization.

However, the speed at which they coopted the Arizona shooting amazed even me. Read into this what ever you want, but I think The Usurping Marxist Onada and his gang of angry commies were prepared.

I am almost certain that the Spectator was correct, that it was coming directly from the White House so that they could also push civility and look like the good guys later.

Prepared and desperate.
