How long can the Media go on ignoring the connection between these dots?
Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 03:53 PM by HeroTwins

5. Teabagger attacks Florida School Board http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-viral-video-school-board-shooting,0,6135370.htmlstory
6. Teabagger shoots Congresswoman Giffords and kills 6 others. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/08/national/main7226347.shtml
7. Teabagger places bomb on MLK route http://www.statesmanjournal.com/article/20110119/UPDATE/110119015/1001/UPDATE


How extreme does it have to become before the common thread linking all this violence is called out for what it is?


UPDATE:

"But please tune in for our update on O.J. Simpson (R)...with a full-bore rehash of his FAILED Bronco Dash for Daylight (R)."

2. Do we have confirmation one way or the other...
On Loughner's TeaBaggery? I haven't seen anything definitive.

Wasn't there also a TeaBagger who cut the gas line to a house owned by a Congresscritter or his/her relative?

These thing should be compiled, no question. Some should probably have the asterisk of doubt on them.

6. Loughner may not have been a card carrying Teabagger, but his beliefs were definitely in that spirit
and his actions are definitely a product of the "Take our Country Back" Zeitgeist.

3. Aww give the media a break
their just a bunch of overly made up C students doing what their corporate pay masters ask.

Even unencumbered by the worry they might lose their job they don't have the brain power to connect the dots between those incidents much less the dots in a toddlers dot to dot puzzle.

8. He doesn't have to carry a membership card to be part of their 'Revolution'
His head was filled with Teabagger bullshit.
And his actions demonstrate this.

Don't let the Repuke spin machine convince you that he came up with this all on his own.

12. Loughner hated Bush and was a 9/11 truther.
According to the New York Times. Doesn't sound like a teabagger to me. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/us/16loughner.html?pagewanted=3

13. It seems he hates pretty much everyone
After shooting his main target (Congresswoman Giffords), he shot a lot of people he presumably didn't know indiscriminately. At least two of the six people who died were Republicans.

17. So you think they went out and made up all the quotes
and the people in the story. OK, we know where you are coming from.
