You are absolutely right, because they will wait for the next tragedy, hoping-upon-hope, that the perpetrator is linked to conservatism.
These are wolves waiting for one incident that they can use to silence those they cannot debate.
“When will America’s sanctimonious liberal elites stop whining about the Tea Party and finally accept they lost the midterms?”
[Excerpt ].......The second monumentally ignorant attack came from House Majority Leader Stenny Hoyer (D-Md) just before he was demoted to House Minority Whip. Here’s what the diplomatic Hoyer had to say (hat tip: Investors Business Daily):
“There are a whole lot of people in the Tea Party that I see in these polls who don’t want any compromise. My presumption is they have unhappy families. All of you have been in families: single-parent, two-parents, whatever. Multiple parent and a stepfather. The fact is life is about trying to reach accommodation with one another so we can move forward. That is certainly what democracy is about. So if we are going to move forward compromise is necessary.”
And what’s the evidence for Hoyer’s silly claim? Absolutely zero. Hoyer quickly backtracked on his statements, but the fact remains this has to be a candidate for most ridiculous political assertion of the year.
What drives this great animosity towards the Tea Party? Undoubtedly anger, resentment and envy. But above all it is a reflection of the Left’s declining power in America, at a time when the nation is moving strongly to the Right. As Gallup’s recent survey showed, conservatives now outnumber liberals by nearly 2.5 to 1.
The Left’s hatred of the Tea Party is born out of a frustration that the American people clearly prefer the message which the movement is sending rather than the increasingly discredited Big Government policies of the liberal elites. Their anger is also based on fear that the Tea Party, and small government conservatism in general, represents the future of America. For all the talk of the Tea Party as an anachronism, it represents a powerful vision of a revitalised United States based on free enterprise principles, individual liberty, and a deep-seated belief in American exceptionalism – everything the Left abhors.

This goes all the way back to the Kennedy assassination where the MSM leapt to say Oswald was right-wing.
It is apparent now that the liberals were disappointed that the assassin did not turn out to be a member of the John Birch Society, Christian Anti-Communist Crusade, Daughters of the American Revolution, American Legion, or Christian Crusade. Within one hour after the death of Mr. Kennedy on the streets of Dallas, Friday, November 22, the television networks were blaming the anti-Communist community for the tragic event. ( source )
From what I have read and heard the shooter sounds like a left wing loonie.
