ABC Blames Increase In Violent Crime On 'Lack of Federal Funding'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

For the MSM, any excuse is good to push for ever-bigger government . . .

Take today's Good Morning America. ABC used a run-of-the-mill bank robbery story to blame a national increase in violent crime on "a lack of federal funding."

I blame it on Obama, and the Obama effect among young black people. Black violence, which accounts for a lion’s share of our increased violence, comes from the sense of empowerment Obama has given to black youth. It isn’t an empowerment to do better in life, but an empowerment over other people, to beat them, rape them, steal from them, and kill them, to do whatever they please because no one is calling them on it, or stopping them.

Really? I thought the increase in the crime rate was because of global warming.

I feel so foolish. NOT!

War on Poverty in the ‘60s

Ditto.

Obama has just fanned the fires of racism.

We are now seeing the effect of the cause.

Lyndon Baines Johnson's War on Poverty caused this by forcing fathers out of the households.

ANC also thinks putting more gasoline on the fire will put it out.

Most crime and criminals are in the Democrat Party areas, yet they need a scapegoat. So whom better to blame than those who have nothing to do with the crime?

Perhaps we should go after the makers of the youtube videos that caused these crimes.

Where’s ARGUS? Where’s NSA?
