It is said that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can put on its shoes.
This weekend, a lie traveled several times around the world, and the truth still is nowhere to be found in the mainstream media.
That lie is that a political target map posted on a Sarah Palin PAC website 10 months ago had anything to do with the shooting by Jared Loughner.
As of this writing, there is not a scintilla of evidence that Loughner ever saw the map, much less was motivated by it. Connecting the map to the shooting was a monstrous lie.
The lie started with bloggers at DailyKos and Think Progress, then spread throughout the left-blogosphere and then into the mainstream media, which has taken up the theme that "right-wing vitriol" contributed to the shooting. One of the purveyors of this theory, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, finally admitted late yesterday afternoon that he had no evidence to support the theory and that it was just his opinion.
The shooting in Arizona brought together the worst instincts of the mainstream media, a desire to get Republicans and Palin Derangement Syndrome. If it means peddling a ghoulish lie, it's all in a day's work.
Before the shooting, I warned that anyone who thought the mainstream media was not still 100% in the tank for Obama needed to think again. The peddling of lies about the cause of the shooting has proved me to be right, albeit sooner than I thought.
Update: Must read - Michelle Malkin, The Progressive Primer of Hate, 2000-2010, and Tim Blair, Allahu Palin, documenting a history the mainstream media willingly ignores.

Who are you…Barack Hussein Obama???
ReplyDeleteAre you just another egomaniac…an ideologue that happened to be elected to the most powerful position in the entire free world, only with the help and the protection of the corrupt mainstream media??? Or are you something worse…maybe something much more sinister and dangerous to our country and the world???…Like A raging full-fledged narcissist…the fanatic type…the worst of the worst kind…someone who can't control his need and overwhelming thirst for that glorified image, for that good old pat on the back, over and over and over… a severely narcissistically wounded individual, with out of control paranoid tendencies holding onto the illusion of having unlimited, power and authority to force your own deranged sickness upon others… trying to steal the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission…
Who are you…Barack Hussein Obama???
Well I grew up basically without a father…but I know he was a devoted communist, just like my mother...and you know what they say??? The nut doesn't fall from the tree. I somehow was able to con a nation and the entire world around me, along with the help of a very corrupt media that would never even think of challenging me…and I became the president of a country that I tried to force and fundamentally change into one of my most devious, sick and twisted dreams, of a weak and socialistic shell of what it used to be…I almost was able to break the back of this once mighty and great nation, and bring it to its knees…to have it all to myself…I was so close to becoming the king…and then something very strange happened…people woke up…a sleeping giant arose…and there was an election in 2012…and just like that…It was all gone…I was thrown out and lead away…locked up in tiny dark room forever.
Wake Up America!!!
