On Good Morning America, ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanolpoulos suggested that the Tea Party might be connected to the mass shootings early this morning in an Aurora, CO theater during a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. The mainstream media attempted to blame the Tea Party for the Tuscon shootings in January 2011, shortly after Republicans swept the midterm elections. Now, in the critical 2012 elections, the mainstream media seems poised to do the same--and ABC News has led the way.
Here is the exchange between reporter Brian Ross and host George Stephanopoulos about apparent suspect James Holmes:

these people have no shame.
Looks like this fits right into their playbook.
How convenient.
They cannot go that far. Their lawyers have probably told them to zip it on Sarah because she is a private citizen now, not an elected official.............
and a classmate of Obama at Columbia??
I agree that mental illness crosses the political spectrum, but statistically there is a higher accumulation of mental illness on the left. To reflexively jump to the conclusion (as the media does) that every crazy shooter is a right-wing crazy has no factual basis and statistically is a very, very poor bet. They will frequently end up with egg on their face, but since they're the media we won't hear about it.
Standard procedure. Get the right-wing, anti-government nutcase meme out there. Then when the criminal is really a militant anarchistic leftist (which is usually the case), it won’t be reported or will be in a little blurb on page 16 of a paper nobody reads anyway.
Is it possible that Steponallofus was responsible, it’s as plausible as his assertion. George just throws it out there hoping it gets some traction. A message to George: George, no
group is immune from deranged behavior, democrats and TV personalities included.
14 people dead and they can only think of turning it into a political advantage for their candidate. Can you get any lower Mediots?
Pray for America
How on earth does anyone make that connection?
They are going to try to use this for gun control, they always do.
Hey, Stupidopolis—I think you and your employer ABC TV is to blame. Have you seen what your employer pushes as entertainment? Or are you willfully ignorant—as long as your check doesn’t bounce, right?
:: Of course, Stephy and co. won’t be issuing an apology to the TEA Party; nor will they even retract the statements. ::
Oh, I would think that the defamation lawsuit about bite their @$$ will get their attention.
I hate the liberal media because they have spawned many nobamas.
The left is really out of sorts that the hoi paloi is rising up and threatening their power.
I imagine that it is unnerving that we’re no longer suffering their evils while they are still sufferable, but instead are righting the situation by abolishing their rule to which all have become accustomed.
(Yes, wording from the Declaration)
Reichstag Fire.
If not now, then certainly before November, some right-wing nut-case will do something like this, like Oklahoma City, whatever.
When you see it happen, remember, Reichstag Fire.
Then why the F&@k Report it then!?
Oh Wait, I know, the News isn't about reporting the truth. Its about pushing an agenda.
No Matter how unethical, how many die, or how much it costs, the Liberal Narrative MUST be maintained.
These people are below contempt.
Yeah,...and the Jim Holmes on FB from Aurora, Colorado likes Michele 0bama...
“James Holmes” is such a unique name that the Tea Party guy MUST be the shooter. /s
I have forgotten the political proclivity of the guy, can’t remember his name, who shot Reagan. The left would probably suggest he was a right winger.
