When is a Whack job Not simply a Whack Job?

With the shooting in Tucson this past weekend, the Liberal media went into immediate overdrive, committing their own character assassination on Sarah Palin, yes I know this is a recurring theme for them, and Conservatives in general.

Talking heads from across the leftist spectrum denounced the right wing violent rhetoric, that led to this tragedy. Even the county sheriff who SHOULD be investigating this crime, and restricting his comments to the facts at hand took the opportunity to indict Conservatives and talk radio. And, of course, by "Talk radio" they mean "conservative talk radio", most notably Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. They are not indicting Ed " I will fight the bastards every day" Shultz, They are not castigating President Barack "they bring a knife, we will bring a gun" " latinos need to fight our enemies, and reward our friends" Obama.

Never mind the fact that the shooter was mentally ill. Never mind the fact that his classmates and professor knew six months ago that he would "come through the door with an automatic weapon". never mind that exhaustive searches of the shooter's, home, life, and online presence, have yielded no connections to anything remotely right wing. For fun he liked to settle down with a copy of Mein Kampf, or the Communist Manifesto, hardly standard TEA party fare. But as former Chief of Staff, Rahmbo Emmanuel said, "never let a crisis go to waste". The political left, and their willing accomplices in the world of Joun...ehem.... sorry, something stuck in my throat there, Journalism, were quick to decide the appropriate story line, and have yet to allow facts to slow the propaganda juggernaut.

There are proposals for new gun bans, there is a hew and cry on the left to force Sarah Palin to apologize for inciting this tragedy. There are cries on the left wing blogs for Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, and Glenn Beck to be indicted as accessories before the fact.

Imagine the depravity, and shallow lack of character required to coldly use a heinous murder as a political bludgeon against your idealogical opposites. Imagine the complete lack of empathy, compassion, and reason it requires to ignore the suffering of the friends and families, and immediately turn a muder into an indictment of political thought and speech. And this from the very same politicians and pundits who rushed to absolve Major Hassan, of any idealogical motivations, those same talking heads who champion Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and Quasi- reverend Jeremiah Wright.

The answer to the question posed is: When the victim is on the political left.

Sheriff Dupnik, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, Dick Durbin, Ed Schultz, Richard Cohen, Paul Krugman, Jacob Weisberg, Chris Matthews, Bob Herbert, ALL of you should be ashamed of your partisanship, lack of honesty, and lack of integrity. There was a time when Journalism meant reporting the facts, the left has destroyed yet another venerable occupation.
