Media finds way to blame tea party for another violent tragedy
Once again, the media managed to blame the tea party for a horrific violent tragedy. This time the tragedy was in Aurora, Colorado at midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises. Twelve people were killed by a shooter who went on a rampage, fifty other individuals needed to be treated for injuries. Below are examples of past tragedies that the tea party was unfairly blamed for immediately after the event occurred:
More malaise ahead
More malaise ahead
We’re all waiting for the president’s promised Recovery Summer
The economy continues to be stuck in neutral, with no sign of relief ahead. The natural question is: How many more months and years of gloomy news reports must be endured until we admit the Obama administration’s borrow-and-spend policies have failed?Other than a slight glimmer of hope in the housing market, economic indicators are grim. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, testifying before Congress Wednesday, reiterated the commitment for further action via monetary policy if the outlook doesn’t improve. Printing more greenbacks won’t be any more effective than the misguided stimulus which helped drive the national debt to its current $15.9 trillion level. Loose money might just add inflation to our woes.

The horrible massacre that happened
at the Century 16 Cineplex in Aurora, Colorado has set off the debate
between second amendment and gun control activists. According to
reports, the suspected gunman, 24-year old James Holmes, allegedly shot
71 people at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises at the Aurora theater.
Twelve people were killed and 59 were treated for injuries. With red dyed hair, Mr. Holmes was described as wearing a ballistics outfit and gas mask. According to reports, Mr. Holmes referred to himself as "the Joker" the same name of the Batman comic book villain. Mr. Holmes also told police that his residence was booby-trapped.

The midnight massacre at a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colo., has put the issue of gun control back at center stage. Leftist lawmakers and TV anchors jumped the gun with the usual calls to restrict the Second Amendment. Propaganda aside, preventing tragedies like this in the future involves giving citizens the ability to fight back, not just be sitting ducks.Invariably when a tragedy like this occurs, politicians and pundits seek quickly to spin it to their advantage. ABC News rushed out a report linking the shooter to the Colorado Tea Party, apparently based on a few seconds of Internet research that yielded the name “Jim Holmes” on a Tea Party website. Predictably, it turned out that this Jim Holmes is not the 24-year-old alleged shooter but a 52-year-old Hispanic conservative, whose ethnicity doesn’t fit the dominant mainstream media narrative. ABC News later apologized for “disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.” This was a particularly egregious breach of journalistic discipline considering that the suspect was already in custody and many details regarding his life and motives would soon be made public.

AURORA, Colo. — Police moved to complete the grim task of identifying the dead and notifying their families Friday evening in the aftermath of the movie theater massacre that left 12 dead and 58 wounded.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said he met with 70 family members of the victims at 4 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time who were still waiting for word of their missing relatives. An hour later, he said the last of the bodies had been removed from theater nine at the Century 16 at the Town Center of Aurora.
“Hopefully in the next hour we will get a confirmed list of the deceased and will begin the agonizing process of meeting with the families and determining what happened to their loved ones,” Chief Oates said at an evening press conference.
