Within minutes of the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting, Brian Ross of ABC News reports to George Stephanopoulos that a man named James Holmes, same first and last name as the reported suspect, is listed as member of a local Tea Party group. Ross speculates, with any proof to connect them, that this James Holmes is the suspect. A search on PeopleSmart.com finds no fewer than 12 individuals sharing that same first and last name.
Mark Steyn, substituting for Rush Limbaugh on the Rush Limbaugh Show today, reports that the James Holmes who is listed with the local Tea Party group has received several threatening calls from what Steyn calls “left wing loonies.” As a result, Holmes request and have his own phone disconnected to stop the harassing phone calls he's received as a result of the speculation by the media that he might be the shooting suspect.

More ammo for his lawsuit.
“Yer honor, as a result of ABC’s irresponsible journalism my client has had to move, change his number, change his name and go into hiding. He can’t walk, he can’t eat. This is a terrible development.”
The peace loving left now want to murder people with the same name as James Holmes. I tell ya, liberalism is a mental disease.
So...let’s say I blame some guy named Brian Ross of the shooting and he just happens to work for the LAMESTREAM MEDIA?
Woops! Sorry for the mistake guys, just trying to pin it on someone that is affiliated with the LAMESTREAM MEDIA!!
I guess it would pay to have an uncommon name. I’m claiming Qgalfsgb Q. Cwdvhwqpiwkwy.
Dear Mr. Holmes.....SUE THEIR ASSES OFF!!!
No, I think there is a Brian Ross listed as a SEX OFFENDER in some city....is that THIS Brian Ross????? kudos to another Freeper!!!!
“Unbelievable”
All too believable - the point of this whole exercise was to demonize the T.E.A. party, and, by association, Conservatives (and by extension, Republicans and anyone who voices disagreement with their Marxist agenda)...
So far, it seems to be working....
Close enough for the left. He’s an unashamed tea partier and they have a name.
The same would happen if the media pulled a tea partier out of a crowd and simply said it out loud. They wouldn’t even need to suggest that he had done anything wrong. Just being a conservative is enough.
Sorry but some retired general living in Nigeria has already claimed that name. He has been trying to give me millions for years. ;-)
Since there are dozens of James Holmeses in Colorado, you Just KNOW little Stephy typed in “James Holmes Tea Party” into Google.
Time to sue ABC and WE need to work to get that bastard Stephanopoulos
fired, by hook or by crook.
They did the same thing with Glenn Beck. Found a guy with the same name “Glen” Beck who raped and murdered a little girl. The left knew it wasn’t true but are still pushing it today.
They'll do anything and squash anyone to advance their cause, no matter who or how many are hurt.
Why couldn’t the killer have changed his name to “Barack Obama”, “Harry Reid”, “Richard Durbin”, or “Charles Schumer” first.
“Dear Mr. Holmes.....SUE THEIR ASSES OFF!!!”
PLEASE!!! Sue ABC and Brian Ross, Ross needs to be sued separately.
I do not watch ABC often, and have not seen Ross for a while. He looks intoxicated. His picture was on AOL today, first glance and first thought, he looks drunk.
Get him off the air. I don’t care for boycotts, but this is the time to believe in them. Lets boycott ABC sponsors until they get their act together.
Here’s to Mr. Holmes being the new CEO of Disneycorp.
What kind of lunatics believe that a guy who shot up a bunch of people is at home where he can receive their calls????? There is a lot of mental illness in this country.
The peace-loving left may well have just murdered 12 people, and when their cult leader talked about it the crowd screamed “four more years”.
Fascist is as fascist does.
That said, given the facts that the shooter is from California, graduated from UC Riverside and then attended a graduate program at CU, odds are he votes Democrat.
