ABC News..Brian Ross says Batman shooter has tea party page.

[CrusaderFrank]

Was the shooter motivated by Obama's hateful anti-American rhetoric?

 

[catzmeow]

Exactly. This had nothing to do with the Tea Party.

It also has nothing to do with liberals or leftists.

Furthermore, people posting stupid shit on a message board (shocking I know), also have no real bearing on this event.

A leftist reporter inserted the Tea Party into a violent tragedy. Liar.

And here you are again, still jacking off over it.

You are a liar. Brian Ross and ABC inserted the Tea Party into this and they have both apologized. Did you want to apologize to me now? Accepted. Thanks.

Why would I apologize to you?

You are as vile as ABC for pimping this issue.

How low is your self esteem to want to glom onto a tragedy so you can force people that had nothing to do with it to apologize to you - who also has no ties to this event.

You're a liar. Period. You will say anything and twist any truth because that's what you are. A liar.

I don't need to twist what is readily apparent.

You went all incredulous on us at the notion of ABC politicizing this event.

Then you spent the next 500 posts doing the same thing.

Maybe your real problem is that you are too dull to see your own duplicity.

 

[Buford]

Open your mouth, Mr. Slurpee.

 

[tinydancer]

So I'm listening to the Jim and Margery show, liberals, on 96.9 boston talks this morning and a caller calls in saying "This was a conservative mad at the movie because it portays conservatives as evil villians. The bad guy's name is Bane after all"

To which i laughed at the stupidity of such a comment

Then I switch over to 1200 am and listen to the Jeff Katz show. On his show I hear someone call in and say "Well there are a group of people who are similar to the occupy people in the movie and the movie makes them look bad, it was an occupod who was mad that did this"

Political hackery has no limits.


BTW ABC knew it wasn't the same person.

Did you laugh when Rush Limbaugh said the Batman movie was a conspiracy against Romney too?

You fool. Get up to speed.

Dems started the "Bane" shit. A D strategist said it was fair game.

Buford would like you to know that Jesus told him that you're going to hell for being a liberal.

That's strange. The voices in my head tell me I am great.

I think you're pretty great, too. Buford, of course, thinks that Jesus thinks whatever Buford thinks.

 

[occupied]

You are condemning the right wing reaction on this board....fucking priceless....

Yes I am, Except for one notable exception I have yet to see anything that looks like sympathy and respect for the innocent dead.

Calling out the classless actions of those seeking to politicize their deaths is showing respect--what is disrespectful is seeking to exploit their deaths which is exactly what ABC News attempted to do.

Think real hard, and try to be honest, and ask what your response would be if on Fox and Friends this morning, without any evidence at all, on national television they accused this madman of being a Occupy Wallstreet fanatic--now if you can be honest you will admit you are a damn hypocrite. I highly doubt you can be honest though.

I do not just jump to conclusions, and readily recognize when someone does, if the guy does indeed turn out to be a member of some group, tea party, ows, whatever, I am not one to take their actions as a reflection on the whole. Perhaps that does not square with your perception of a lib but then again I can only speak for myself. If the TeeVee says something I do not just automatically believe it no matter the source.

[Pho_King]

LOL. Yeah, you really are looking for sympathy and respect for the innocent dead. Why don't you show us a picture of you shedding a tear. Perhaps that will make you more believable.

Ever wonder why you and other conservatives are constantly bombarded with accusations of being horribly mean and evil cold-hearted assholes?

No, that is not a source of wonder for us. We know why you lefties think we are big ole meanies. You are a bunch of pussies.

 

[geauxtohell]

Buford would like you to know that Jesus told him that you're going to hell for being a liberal.

That's strange. The voices in my head tell me I am great.

I think you're pretty great, too. Buford, of course, thinks that Jesus thinks whatever Buford thinks.

I always find Christians who apparently don't read their own instruction manual to be especially amusing.

How long have you been a whiny little bitch?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Any average reporter knows not to release junk such as this. Ross knew this and he knew that he would have to retract it. His goal was to launch his lie and have the perception that this guy was tied to the tea party. Ross should be fired from ABC but he'll probably receive a promotion. There's a reason why network news is just about finished.

It's all about the headline. Mary Mapes and Axelrod school of so called journalism.

Good grief I want to throttle something I am so angry over this.

It has become their modus operandi. They're not even ashamed of it anymore. Float out the lie, hope like hell for the perception, apologize with no shame later. Receive bonus from network.

 

[catzmeow]

A leftist reporter inserted the Tea Party into a violent tragedy. Liar.

And here you are again, still jacking off over it.

Open your mouth.

No thanks...classless morons aren't my type.

 

[Black_Label]

It's funny how when a right wing piece of trash makes an asinine post stating the shooter clearly is an Obama supporter, the right wing trolls are silent

I make a post mocking them, and the right wing trolls go into a complete uproar,..

What a bunch of vial trash the radical right are,...

As opposed to a left wing piece of trash reporter starts this entire fiasco and a left wing piece of trash like you totally ignores the source of the uproar. I bet you piss sitting down, you limp thing.

I take it a no dick but in your ass fuck like you must be in an uproar that this propaganda piece was making the rounds on this site, as well as other radical right wing outlets claiming the shooter was an iranian muslim named Mohammand Alam, right?

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6mSSI3vxM]Perpetrator Identified as Iranian in Aurora Shooting [07/20/2012] - YouTube[/ame]

Interesting that buford eat-a-dick suddenly vanished,....what a pussy, but that is typical with the radical right.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Was the shooter motivated by Obama's hateful anti-American rhetoric?

We all know if a republican was in the White house

that would be the question for the next month from the MSM and the Left

 

[Buford]

Yet you remain classless.

Typical democrat

 

[Google]

Because they were wrong.

Exactly. This had nothing to do with the Tea Party.

It also has nothing to do with liberals or leftists.

Furthermore, people posting stupid shit on a message board (shocking I know), also have no real bearing on this event.

Claim the moral high ground by insulting and denigrating those that are outraged that ABC News on national television made baseless accusations in an attempt to exploit and politicize the horrendous murder of 12 innocent people. Yes, those that express anger that a news organization would act in such a reprehensible and classless manner are the true people that have no bearing on this event.

Again, if Fox News with zero evidence tried to exploit the deaths of these people to denigrate the OWS you would be outraged. Continue to feign outrage and drone on and on about how you are the true beacon of morality by insulting those that are offended by the actions of ABC News.

 

[Gem]

While the rhetoric from both sides on the board has gotten heated, I'm more than a little confused by those posting here who are now mad at people who defended the Tea Party through the morning.

When people suggested that it was too soon to be discussing the shooter's motivations and that stating that a) He might belong to the Tea Party and therefore implying b) that his possible affiliation with the Tea Party might be relevant to why he committed mass murder...people here were quick to shout back a litany of excuses including some that can only be meant to silence dialogue ("How dare you defend the Tea Party when these people aren't even cold yet!").

In other words...we should allow the media to vilanize NOT the actual monster who shot these people, but rather a political organization based on flimsy, speculative, and downright shoddy journalism.

Seriously?

It seems to me that the real problem here is an out-of-control media with an agenda...and those citizens who support the media's CONTINUED promotion of its own agenda despite its claims of impartiality and non-bias.

The victims of this crime deserve our prayers. I do not doubt for a moment that everyone on this board, regardless of political leaning, feels sorry for these people and their families.

But this is a political message board - not a prayer vigil. The discussion about the media's ongoing "1984-esque" desire to make the news tell the story it wants to tell, rather than what is actually occurring should be as important to us as any other story currently being discussed today.

If we can not discuss it when we have such a BLATANT, FLAGRANT example of how casually the news media can use poor journalism during a tragedy as an excuse to crucify a political group...then when CAN we discuss it?
