Journalists urged caution after Ft. Hood, now race to blame Palin after Arizona shootings

"What a markedly different situation from 15 months earlier when, in the face of actual evidence that Maj. Hasan was inspired by Islamist convictions, many media commentators sought to be voices of caution. Where was that caution after the shootings in Arizona?"

As if we needed more evidence, but it is becoming more obvious to more and more Americans that the libs and their mouth-pieces, the MSM, are not objective, have a double standard when it comes to liberals and conservatives, and have an agenda that is not in the best interest of America.

Considering Palin had absolutely nothing to do with instigating this craziness, it is safe to say that our pop media is up to their usual competence.

By their unhinged and unfair attacks, the libs have launched a giant boomerang. It's coming back and will have massive, unhappy consequences for the left.

Great Find. Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

Without evidence. Talking heads. Nothing more. Selling the sizzle not the steak. Meh.

Facebook, U-tube and classmate testimony suggest that the killer is an atheist, a homosexual, a pothead and a 911 conspiracy believer. Sounds like the “profile” of the ideal liberal “base” voter/activist.

"It certainly is," Blitzer agreed. "But the question is, is there any evidence that the suspected shooter in this particular case was a Sarah Palin fan, read Sarah Palin's website, was a member on Facebook, watched her tweets, or anything like that?"

"None at all," Yellin responded. "And there is no evidence that this was even inspired by rage over health care, broadly. So there is no overt connection between Sarah Palin, health care, and the [shootings]."

Wolf Blitzer is a putz.

We just can’t roll our pants legs up high enough when we’re around the MSM...

Based on what I’ve seen, he’s a classic deranged anarchist.

It may be insensitive to say this but does anyone else believe that had this Loughner youth been connected with conservative ideology we would know far more about his family and their activities by now...I can understand their silence though, they see a life full of lawyers ahead.

The comparison of the treatment of the Gifford shooting and the Fort Hood shooting has prompted the question in my mind, “whatever happened to the Ft. Hood shooter trial? What is the status? Where is Nidal Hassan now?
I am not as skilled as many on the internet, but my searches are not coming up with any real answers to my questions.
