Is there any truth to the allegations that the killer is the homosexual bondage slave of ABC’s Brian Ross who also financed the purchase of the guns and ammunition used in the attack?

If Mr. Ross denies those allegations, what kind of proof can he provide that they are false?

Inquiring minds want to know?

“ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.”

Sorry you got caught trying to propagandize an awful tragedy. Go to blazes ABC, and kindly perform an anatomically impossible act on yourself, Brian Ross. (i.e. go bleep yourself!)

Over four thousand people named James Holmes living in this country, and he was so sure that he was the same one who joined the tea party. ;-)

How much time has he spent investigating the name 0bama?

Someone ought to file a defamation lawsuit immediately.

This stuff has now gone beyond just a liberal media bias. Every single time something like this happens, the left-wing media fish and hunt for any shred of “evidence” that can link conservatives or tea partiers to any crime whatsoever.

Despite the fact that unlike Occupy, Tea party rallies, cleans up and goes home like regular Americans. All these facts don’t matter. “Vetting” doesn’t matter to the media when they let their inherit bias overcome the quest for the truth.

This is how communists spread propaganda and hate, they place the blame on a group of people or a belief

Doesn’t matter. They got it “out there.” They knew exactly what they were doing

"Never let a crisis go to waste"

1 - Get your narative out early. Fill the information vacuum before the true facts are known.

2 - Apologize later - people will still remember your version.

Is Ross a paid agent of the DNC or just another true-believer?

Yeah right, THEY APOLOGIZE?!?!?!?!?!?

They did exactly what they wanted to do, and that was try and associate the killings with the one threat the MSM hates the most.

Their apology is insincere and bogus.

” Evil White Hispanic”?

“Breitbart News spoke to James Michael Holmes, the Tea Party member falsely identified this morning by ABC News’ Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America as the possible suspect in the mass shooting early this morning at a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. He is a 52-year-old Hispanic conservative who joined the Tea Party after becoming disillusioned with the Republican party.”

According to the MSM all crimes are “tea-party” crimes until proven otherwise.

Definitely purposeful.

It wasn’t a report -it was an opinion plain and simple.
