Reply #3: You're completely right - they're using this as a free-pass of their rhetoric [View All]

Here is what's bugging me. I saw something a friend posted on FB, of Jon Stewart calling both sides to task for taking sides... but the truth is, I don't CARE what Laughner had in mind when he did this. It was horrific, regardless. BUT... it does not erase the danger from the violent and inciting language that the right has been using for years.

If the media was truly free, they would point out the following: that the threats and attacks on Democratic officials has increased exponentially since the beginning of the hate media and politics,and even more so after Palin and Beck really ratcheted things up. That's fact. Not conjecture. So, by using the corporate-owned-media, they have turned this around to try and impeach the liberals who point this out.
