Democratic Strategist Eagerly Pushes Obama To Exploit The Arizona Tragedy
Business Insider ^ | 1/9/11 | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 01/09/2011 8:11:53 AM PST by jimbo123

From what we know about Jared Lee Loughner, there's nothing to suggest his politics could be characterized as "Tea Party" or even conservative.

Mainly he fits the category known as "whack job," but that won't stop Democrats from figuring out ways to exploit this.

The Lefty Media is pinning their hopes on the “mystery man”. In hopes he is a Tea Party person involved in it. Probably just a guy like the one they hoped was Tea Party in the video of the Times Square attack. The perp there turned out to be another crazed Muzzie.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia. June 2008.

Now that’s an example of incendiary rhetoric if there ever was one! Excellent post.

Any bets there is a Tea Party or Palin reference to this shooting in the State of the Union address?

GO DUCKS

I agree. I couldn’t get on FR yesterday after the shootings. So I was checking other sites like NPR, Yahoo, etc. The immediate comments were anti-Palin, anti-Tea Party, etc. The response was immediate and overwhelming.

Good. Let’s see some of that here. Dopenik needs to be removed.

How would the liberal media report this shooting if the shooter were a Muslim? How would the government be handling the flow of info to the public if the shooter were a Muslim? If one thinks that the answer to both questions would resemble how they handled the Fort Hood shooting and every other event where a Muslim has killed and American citizen, then maybe those in the government and the media should accept a bit of the blame for the atmosphere that causes this kind of thing to happen in the first place. Maybe they should govern for the people instead of select groups and then just report the truth.

The Sheriff is trying to distract from the fact that they knew Loughner was a nut and a danger to the community long before yesterday’s attack.

What did Sheriff Dupnik know about Jared Lee Loughner? And when did he know it?

“had Gabrielle Giffords been a conservative would you have seen this much coverage?”

Certainly not. It may have been reported in a news brief...and then it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The internet is a lot more sophisticated today. You are right, the slime machine won’t work as well now.

Sheriff Dupnik knew this nut was a danger to the community and didn’t take any actions to stop him. Dupnik is trying to save his own skin.

Don’t look to the MSM to answer those questions. The blogosphere will once again do the job for them.

(.)bozo was late to the press conference yesterday just as the news of whom the shooter was began to break. My sense is he had to change up his rhetoric which he intended to use. That said, he will send out his minions now to portray the Right, Tea Parties, Talk Radio and the need for gun control for why this happened. Never let a crisis go to waste when you are a marxist.

And so it begins...for Obama’s re-election campaign. He needs race to be the main theme to take the focus off of his failed fundamental transformation of America.

Eric Holder told us that we “are a nation of cowards” when it comes to race. I’m sure Bill Ayres and Pat Hayden have some forged “writings” that have been planted linking them to the shooter to exacerbate race relations.

Its almost as if the left is reading from a script.

I’m not suggesting a conspiracy, only a preconditioned response to an act of violence against a democrat. I also wonder how much the sheriff is influencing the Giffords family. The fact that her father immediately blamed the tea party is downright bizarre.

Fox this morning is being “cautious” about endorsing claims by DHS concerning an “American Renaissance” connection to the shooter. In fact they stated they had talked with the owner and he examined his records and found nothing connected to Jared Loughner.

Here is their website:

http://www.amren.com/siteinfo/information.html

I saw nothing indicating any of the DHS accusations on the site, but I might have missed something.

I saw a post on the web- maybe here - that speculated that Loughner was actually following the Judge and he was the target.

Except it seems that Loughner pulled out the gun and shot directly at Gifford.
