The main stream media is always trying to point the finger of blame at Conservative, "Right-Wingers", Republicans, and most recently, their favorite target is The Tea Party.
You know how it goes, any tragedy that happens they will try to blame our "Right Wing" ideology. Usually it is a tragedy that has been engineered by a madman. Yes, they even tried to blame the recent Aurora, Colorado Theater Massacre on The Tea Party.
On February 12, 2010 Dr. Amy Bishop, Professor at University of Alabama, opened fire on twelve of her colleagues, killing three of them and wounding three others. Jonathon Curiel of Reuters, speculated that Dr. Bishop belonged to or was a product of The Tea Party. If he had done a little homework, he would have known she was actually an avid Barrack Obama follower. One of her family members actually described her as being obsessed with President Obama. -Fail #1
Remember the Discovery Channel "Eco-terrorist"? Yep, they tried to blame that on The Tea Party too! On September 1, 2010, Jason Lee entered the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Springs, MD with two starter pistols and an explosive device. He took hostages and held them for an hour while he ranted and raved. Fortunately, police were able to neutralize him with nobody hurt. Because he had some kind of eco-manifesto, the media began reporting that he was a crazy right-winger. But it turned out that he was just some tree hugging whack job.
Bill Sparkman "Murder" -On September 12, 2009 Mr. Sparkman was found dead and duct-taped to a tree with his government I.D. Card taped to him and "fed" written on his chest. The mainstream media immediately began speculating that crazy Tea Partier's had killed him due to the public opposition to big government and the Tea Party's support of Representative Ron Paul's "Audit the FED" bill. Andrew Sullivan even went so far as call it "Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk-radio cohorts". Liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller claimed that The Tea Party was responsible for inciting violence. The truth? Bill Sparkman committed suicide and tried to stage it as murder so that his family could collect on his life insurance policy.
We all know about the would-be Times Square bomber. What you may not remember is that during an interview with Katie Couric of CNN, liberal New York City Mayor Bloomburg stated that he was probably "a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health-care bill or something". The Nation's Robert Dreyfuss even spouted off saying the perp was "either a lone nut job or a member of some squirrely branch of the Tea Party, anti-government far right. Which actually exists in Connecticut, where, it seems, the car's license plates were stolen". Classy, huh? After police safely neutralized the homemade car bomb without injury, they began an investigation that led them to Faisal Shazah who was an actual terrorist who had been trained in a Pakistani Terrorist Camp. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
On February 18, 2010 a man flew his private aircraft into the IRS Building in Austin, Texas. He died in the crash along with IRS Manager Vernon Hunter. He also injured 13 IRS employees in the intentional crash. Immediately the media began attempting to tie this murderer to the Tea Party. Jonathon Capehart of the Washington Post wrote "There's no information yet on whether he was involved in any anti-government groups or whether he was a lone wold. But after reading his 34-paragraph screed, I am struck by how his alienation is similar to that we're hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement". Chris Rovzar of New York Magazine wrote: "He was mad at the IRS, and left what CNN reports was a suicidal note on a local website, detailing trials with the agency. In fact, a lot of his rhetoric could have been taken directly from a handwritten sign at a Tea Party rally [emphasis added]". Several other left-leaning media sources took the opportunity to pile on the Tea party as well. But when his manifesto was examined more closely, it was clear that Software Consultant (and now murderer) Andrew Stack included quotes in his rants directly from the communist manifesto, and disparaged Capitalism. Sure sounds to me like the exact opposite of a Tea Party member.
Perhaps the most high profile instance of liberal hate and bias against "Right-Wingers" was the Representative Gabriel Giffords shooting. On January 8, 2011, a madman opened fire at a public event in which Representative Giffords was speaking in Tuscon, Arizona. Six people were murdered and thirteen more injured, including Giffords who was shot in the head and appeared to be the main target of the attack. She miraculously survived the attack. Before the investigation even began and the perpetrator was even identified, the media began to pile on right-wingers and the Tea Party. Some even tried to claim that Tea Party idol Sarah Palin was directly responsible, citing "rhetoric" used by the former Alaska Governor. After much speculation and finger pointing, the truth came our. The murderer, Jared Loughner burned American flags prior to the attack, was described as "disliking" the news, and apparently his favorite books were "The Communist Manifesto" and "Meun Kampf". He didn't even listen to talk radio and he was a registered Independent. A high school friend of his, Zach Osle even said "He didn't take sides. He wasn't on the left. He wasn't on the right.". Hmmm....
There we have it. Six incidents where the main stream media tried to pin horrible tragedies on Conservatives without any shred of evidence and knowing zero facts about the perpetrators of these tragedies. Seems to me they have some sort of agenda, doesn't it?
