Before this is all over, former heavyweight boxing champion Larry Holmes will probably be contacted and asked if he knows the shooter.

There is a reason they are called the ‘enemedia’, ‘enemy’ + ‘media’ that needs an ‘enema’.

Dumb asses.

“The name Brian Ross shows up on multiple sex offender registries in several states. Now, we don’t know if this is the same Brian Ross, we’ll keep looking at that.”

James Michael Holmes != James Eagan Holmes (Dec. 13, 1987)

What qualifies Brian Ross to be a reporter?

ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

That's just it. By ABC standards, it was properly vetted. They presented the story first to their political editor/officer who reviewed it and said, "This is exactly the political angle we are looking for. Go ahead and run it".

They accused the wrong guy of the act. That is slander and false publishing.

Now, I had a dude on another thread say that since ABC apologized, its all over.

NOPE NADDA..it aint over. The act caused serious harm to this fellow and unless he accepted the apology in writing, ABC is liable.

I see a BIG law suit and if this guy is as patriotic as a tea party person he should be, he must sue and the demands should include that both Ross and Stephy resign. Then top it off with a billion dollar suit, if that amount is possible.

"There's a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year," Ross said. "Now, we don't know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it's Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado."

ABC needs to fire Brian "Sherlock" Ross pronto!

There are actually quite a few Jim Holmeses in Aurora, Colorado.

While this guy has a HUGE lawsuit in my opinion, he also needs to watch out. The sleazy media (duplicate, my bad) will be after HIM like they went after Plumber Joe. They will be dragging his name through the mud if they can, looking up any debts, disgruntled neighbors, etc. Heck, Gloria Allred may be called in to find some hapless woman that he made “uncomfortable” in order to deflect the attention away from the out-of-control ba$tards in the media. He needs to get an attorney and quick!

Went on a raw sewage dive at DUmmieland a couple of hours ago. All I can find on this now was a couple of urgent pleas for them to scrub all articles referring to the subject. Tons of calls for more gun control and they're completely ignoring the possibility that it can be an OWSer.

Last night’s mass murder in a Colorado theater, without a doubt, is a horrific and unspeakable tragedy. However, as much as I grieve for the victims, their families, I refuse to blame an inanimate object – guns – rather than the actual lawbreaker…James Holmes. Liberals live to shamelessly politicize such tragedies – case and point, immediately blaming the Tea Party – hoping our Second Amendment rights will be stripped away by whipping public anger into a vacuum of mass hysteria. These same constitutional terrorists, who can’t keep drugs off the streets, let alone out of our schools, would leave us at the mercy of thugs and lowlife opportunists, not to mention vulnerable to government tyranny; Thomas Jefferson’s most profound reason for defending our right to bear arms. In essence, gun control is the final lynch pin in the left’s ultimate goal of uncontested subjugation.

The real tragedy in this endless debate is that the media never reports how times firearms save lives, feed families, foil crimes, and guard freedom around the globe. I could not imagine lying awake at night, knowing my family was at the mercy of some deranged intruder while I was powerless to protect them. I’m an American, a patriot, a law abiding citizen, and there’s a reason why I keep a Glock 20/10mm beside my bed at night: I refuse to be a statistic. And just in case you want one, over 50 million gun owners did not commit a crime last night. You do the math.

“It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.” George Washington

Meh, it’s always a Tea Party member.....even though time and time again they have been proven wrong.

Oops, not proven wrong, just plain lies. Whenever some psycho goes at it they always seem to jump to the Tea Party....and have been wrong each and every time. But yet, they still do.

Yes, the spaces were on purpose.

Law Prof. Glenn Reynolds: “... If I were the Tea Party Holmes, I’d have my lawyer talking to ABC right now. My terms: Groveling apology to be repeated on at least two national newscasts, plus This Week and all Colorado affiliates. Plus $250K in damages. No apology by tonight, and the demand goes to $5 million. Oh, and guys, be sure to preserve all records, browser histories, etc. for litigation. . . .”

So question
How many “James Holmes” are there in Colorado ...probably many....

So of all the “James Holmes” there are in Colorado

How does ABC decide James Holmes + Tea Party member = must be shooter?

It's called "prejudices"....

Now some prejudices do have some basis in fact...

A KKK, neo Nazi, Black Panther or Islamic Jihadists members do have history of violence...even OWS members have shown a history of violence

But what is the actual historical record of violence Tea Party members?...Not what the media had presented in made for "entertainment stories"...but the true actual historical record of violence by Tea Party members?...

The truth is there is nil record of violence by Tea Party members...so a prejudices with no facts to back it up is willful ignorance and bigotry...

Willful ignorance and bigotry presented repeatedly by the media, both news and entertainment media as truth is the "Big Lie" technique of propaganda

We’re sorry we were chomping at the bit and threw caution to the winds. Law-suit at ten. Details at eleven.

The error + weak apology by ABC... motivated by: a combination of desperation to get rating and sick liberal virus...

Brian Ross and Stephie should both be fired. They are sleazy.
