One-Sided CBS Report Paints Palin as Responsible for Giffords Shooting
Newsbusters ^ | 6/14/2008 | Rusty Weiss

Posted on 01/08/2011 9:12:01 PM PST by Nachum

Capitalizing on the shooting in Tucson this afternoon, CBS furthered the lunatic left rhetoric that Sarah Palin was somehow responsible for this heinous crime. The theory being that the shooter was inspired by Palin’s midterm election map, which featured Gabrielle Giffords as a potential target. “…critics of Sarah Palin have already drawn a link between the shooting and the fact that the former Alaska governor put Giffords on a "target list" of lawmakers Palin wanted to see unseated in the midterm elections.” It’s a little concerning that CBS would fall for such a

Old OH-58 driver. SCOUTS OUT!

Does this sound familiar to anyone..

This from the Hot Air comments section:

Congressman Paul Kanjorski, the Pennsylvania Democrat, on Gov.-Elect Rick Scott: “Shoot Him”

http://spectator.org/blog/2010/11/09/kanjorski-on-gov-elect-rick-sc

“That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him [sic] and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he’s running for governor of Florida. He’s a millionaire and a billionaire. He’s no hero. He’s a damn crook. It’s just we don’t prosecute big crooks.”

So this Dem asks for someone to be SHOT yet the media is silent..but Sarah Palin makes a chart with little circles on them what, almost a year ago, and she is to blame for some looney going on a rampage

Palin should respond with “I guess the Left is having a worse time handling the loss of power than we thought.”

It has my life’s experiences (76+years) is that most often those that accuse you, are those that know they would do it!

Remember when the Lord told His disciples: “One of you will betray Me.” you know, not one of His disciples accused another, they only asked: “Lord is it I?”

You know. I don’t care what CBS or anyone in the trash groups think.

The little jerk murdered people and deserves to be punished as swiftly as possible.

"I think that's what they are accusing us of doing today."

What they're accusing us of is a lie, pure and simple. We can take it, continue the cave-in tactics of the Pubbie Party, circa 1995-2008, or we can get our dander up, and show them what we're made of.

I'm not talking about violence, I'm talking about refusing to let them lie about us, refusing them to taint our conservative leaders, refusing to let them taint our conservative Tea Party movement, and most of all, stopping the renewed attempt to ban military-pattern semi-autos, which is sure to come!

We can figuratively fight now, or do it for real later. It's our choice, patriots...we can do this the hard way, or wait until it gets so bad we'll have to do it the damn near impossible way.

OH-58/AH-1/AH-64 hunter-killer teams kick ass!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

If I were Sarah Palin, I'd be contacting lawyers and threatening lawsuits of these media outlets. The reporting on this shooting has been totally irresponsible, and is just further evidence of why we no longer need to pay attention to the media.

In essence what the Media dopes are saying is that Palin is causing Democrats to shoot other Democrats.

If a Democrat shoots another Democrat, how does that justify the media beating conservatives over the head?

They sure are quick to blame her for everything that happens. Sounds like the Bush matra. I agree that she should toy with the idea of a lawsuit against those slandering her and falsely accusing her.

These people are nuts! Yet, they let zero’s words go untouched when he uses phrases such as they bring a knife, we bring a gun, etc.

When will this madness stop?

The NY Times, however, was quite selective in which of Loughner’s ‘favorite books’ were notable:

His YouTube page also listed a series of favorite books. Some were novels about political dystopias — including “Animal Farm” by George Orwell and “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. Others were about falling into fantasy worlds — like “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass” by Lewis Carroll.

The descriptive term “moonbat”. For the Left wingers is perfect.

CBS backed Dan Rather in his “fake but accurate” document claims about Bush 43, too. Guess they didn’t learn their lesson. Rather’s producer was fired and he was later let go and has failed in his attempts to sue CBS.

Palin ought to be assured that if she sues CBS, her legal fees will be paid by donations. One way to get conservatives to own a network. Jesse Helms advocated this 30 years ago.

Correct,

This thing needs to blow up in their face at Nuclear proportions. The Leftist Press has finally gone too far. They are outwardly practicing what hey are accusing Conservatives of doing.

The American people (Most of them) will not stand for this continued blame shifting from the MSM and the Press. (API)
This is not only dishonest, it will trigger a Totalitarian response from this furrent Fascist President and his CZAR cronies. Watch Holder and Napolitano do something totally unconstitutional in retaliation.

“Let me be clear, as a great man says: If you’re using this event to criticize the “rhetoric” of Sarah Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you’re either asserting a connection between the “rhetoric” and the shooting — which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie — or you’re not, in which case you’re just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. So which is it?”
