These people are not patriots, they are crazy. Believe it or not — I slept through this one. I’ve been sick here the last few days. Ny-Quill and much sleep.
Anyhow, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are all reporting about the shooter in AZ. HotAir.com also has an excellent round up, as does Memeornadum.
You can expect that Fox News and the rest of the liberal media outlets will spin this as left or right. Truth is, it is neither — it is our sick media driven society that is causing this sort of a thing. The sick part is; nobody wants to admit the fault.
Quoting myself this morning, before this shooting occurred:
Again, in closing, having a political stance and opinion is fine — even acceptable. However, when one decides to hurt other people to express that opinion — you stop being a patriot or even an American and you become a terrorist and a criminal. There is a difference and I believe that more Bloggers on the right ought to be saying this.
I was, of course, referring to the people who sent the package bombs — but, I do believe this applies here as well. This guy was a nut from what I read and his actions were driven by this media society we live in. Of course, look for the corporate media to spin this in every direction possible and to obsess over it for the next week. As it has been a slow news week.
Again, more of that sick media society that I mentioned.
