» Did Liberal ‘Rhetoric’ and ‘Irresponsibility’ Cause Death Threat? The Loft
Within hours of the shootings in Tucson last weekend, liberal legislators and members of the media were already assessing blame. “The conservatives drove him to do it!” That was the claim. Of course, there’s nothing to support this accusation, but that’s what make an accusation so convenient: anyone can do it. Fast forward one week, and we now have one of the victims of the shooting yelling, “You’re dead,” to a tea party activist. Were his actions the result of “rhetoric” and “irresponsible” actions on the part of the liberal media? Read on and judge for yourself…
Just one week after the shootings, while some of the victims are still recovering and others have just been buried, ABC News put together a program with host Christiane Amanpour called “After the Tragedy: An American Conversation Continued.” Some may question the wisdom of airing such a program so soon after the tragedy. I am one of those people. ABC News saw fit to bring together tea party activists and a left wing nut just days after a disturbed individual opened fire on a crowd and the left began their string of accusations. Shouldn’t we all just calm down for a while? Shouldn’t the focus be on prayers for the victims?
