Massacre, Followed By Libel

[Geee]

Human Events:


WASHINGTON -- The charge: The Tucson massacre is a consequence of the "climate of hate" created by Sarah Palin, the tea party, Glenn Beck, Obamacare opponents and sundry other liberal betes noires.

The verdict: Rarely in American political discourse has there been a charge so reckless, so scurrilous, and so unsupported by evidence.

As killers go, Jared Loughner is not reticent. Yet among all his writings, postings, videos and other ravings -- and in all the testimony from all the people who knew him -- there is not a single reference to any of these supposed accessories to murder.



Not only is there no evidence that Loughner was impelled to violence by any of those upon whom Paul Krugman, Keith Olbermann, The New York Times, the Tucson sheriff and other rabid partisans are fixated. There is no evidence that he was responding to anything, political or otherwise, outside of his own head.

A climate of hate? This man lived within his very own private climate. "His thoughts were unrelated to anything in our world," said the teacher of Loughner's philosophy class at Pima Community College. "He was very disconnected from reality," said classmate Lydian Ali. "You know how it is when you talk to someone who's mentally ill and they're just not there?" said neighbor Jason Johnson. "It was like he was in his own world."

But Sheriff Dipstick said he knew, without knowing facts, who was at fault.

"The origins of Loughner's delusions are clear: mental illness. What are the origins of Krugman's?"

These ridiculous statements are rampant with the LIBS today. Another one of their "intellectual elite" just demonstrated his lack of critical thinking ability at best... and his abject dishonesty as well.

Former Senator Bob Kerrey called into Imus in the Morning and said although Congress should postpone business temporarily as a result of the Arizona shooting, to do so for much longer would not be a good idea. Also despite the investigation not yet revealing the killer’s true motives, Kerrey did not hesitate to offer up some speculation.

 

Kerrey suggested:

 

“Tomorrow they were going to vote to repeal this health care bill, and well it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate,

it’s one of the reasons that this guy was angry

”

It seems like Kerrey thinks the shooter was partially angry because the Senate was not going to allow repeal of the health care bill.

Good article and be sure to read the comments.

 

The sort of dialogue I hear from the left is on full display there. I think this is really unmasking the liberals. I hope the general public is tuned in enough to be able to connect to the facts.
