And THAT is precisely why we have to throw this right back in their faces, as forcefully as possible!
I was chatting with a friend on Facebook this morning. She heard the story about James Holmes being a member of the Tea Party and then left for work. She never heard the retraction and correction that he is a leftist anarchist.
If we do not make this political, it will stick to us. Just like "I can see Russia from my house" has stuck to Palin. Just like "potatoe" has stuck to Dan Quayle. Just like "no authorization for war in Iraq" has stuck to Bush43.
We are outnumbered and outgunned by the liberal media.
I'll be damned if I will let them play politics while I play nice.
No more!
You are exactly right, Erik.
That is the leftists/democrats plan:
"Never let a crisis go to waste"
1 - Get the leftist narative out early. Fill the information vacuum before the true facts are known.
2 - Issue a correction later, only if you have to. Many who heard the first accusation will not hear the correction, and most will still remember the first account they heard.
So the response to lies should be falsehoods, the response to stupidity should be idiocy?
Then you DISPROVE their accusations! You don’t make up your own to fit our side’s narrative. There is ZERO evidence at this time that this Holmes is an OWS agent. Nothing in the link here identifies him as such beyond an opening accusation. The pictures on other threaDS of “Holmes” being carried off by cops are said to be in Occupy San Diego, though the cops are clearly NYPD. The other vid is posted by a James Willy Holmes while the killer’s name is James Eagan Holmes.Our side has to stop this or else what Ross did yesterday will be completely obscured.

So because the left smears people, and spreads lies and falsehoods, we should do the same thing? I think not. You don't have to fabricate things or make false accusations. Let's stick with what we know for sure.
We don't have to "play nice." I'm perfectly willing to get as mean as they want. Trust me when I tell you that there is absolutely NO LIMIT WHATSOEVER to my meanness if others want to go there.
That said, we never resort to sin, slander, lies etc. You don't need to when truth is on your side.
