NYT:
(Anyone who thought that the left would show an ounce of decency after the GOP shootings was living in a very optimistic fantasy world. )
Here’s the New York Times’ editorial.
“…In 2011, when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs.”
FPM: "There was no excuse for this lie when it was first unveiled. In 2017, it’s a smear that shows that the media will shamelessly lie without scruples or any notion of ethics.
Loughner had no politics. The Times editorial board neglects to mention that he murdered a Republican judge. But that wouldn’t fit the agenda."
The Left has used this logic, now a righty used it. It turns out that Loughner had no politics, but was definitely handicapped by severe paranoia. We’ll have to wait and see if the recent shooting was connected and to what extent to the litany of hatred, vitriol, Rachel Maddow, Kathy Griffith, Conan and some calls to violence that the shooter had been reading.
