Excellent point. I’m late to the discussion too but knew that FR would have the real skinny on the shooter so signed on to get the truth. I have been taking a bit of a political sabbatical over the holidays but this tragedy put an end to my mini break. I can’t believe how the media and the dems are acting...it’s the Wellstone memorial times 50. A new low for them today.
I can. Easily.
The way the MSM and liberals behaved after Bush beat Gore in 2000 showed their true colors when their side loses a close election. That was the beginning of the angry rhetoric that has only gotten worse and worse ever since.
When Bush beat Fortunate Son John Kerry in 2004, the "lie after lie after lie" mantra began, as well as the filibustering of judicial nominations.
The MSM and liberals went into full political assassination mode in 2006 when the Mark Foley scandal allowed them to parlay the nastiest of innuendo into a strategy to sweep out Republicans and replace them with marginal moderate Democrats in "red" districts. It was a bunch of macaca, but it emboldened them.
The 2008 election of Barack Obama was based on a false narrative of Obama's life story that has angered ordinary Americans as they came to learn that Obama lied his way into the Oval Office in order to nationalize many private industries for the unions.
The 2010 mid-term results that threw out the Democrats in an historic wave that was being called a racist plot by the Tea Party.
The MSM and liberals have been buildiing the argument since 2000 that running against Democrats is racist, that campaigning against Democrats is hate speech, and that winning against Democrats is illegitimate.
They tried to indict the Tea Party, but couldn't back up their inciteful rants with facts or video evidence.
It's not surprising that the only people who actually engaged in violence are the angry liberals themselves. This has been escalating since 2000, but it has been the Left that has felt free to operate with no rules and no fear of punishment or reprisals.
