Three Exculpatory Facts the MSM Continues to Overlook in the Arizona Shootings
John Sexton gets to the heart of the matter:
One – Sarah Palin’s map was nothing out of the ordinary
Two – Jared Loughner’s fixation on Rep. Giffords pre-dated the Tea Party and Sarah Palin
Three – Jared Loughner’s verifiable ideological commitments are on the left
Three basic facts the MSM refuses to publish.
Mark Levin calls MSNBC on their Hate Speech
The Radio Equalizer reports that conservative talk show host and author Mark Levin has offered $100,000 for evidence that Gov. Palan “promoted the murder of anyone”, as the leftist media, including several MSNBC hosts have declared.
Levin has also threatened to sue MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz for stating on air that Jared Lee Loughner was somehow influenced by Levin and [conservative talk show host] Savage when he went on a killing spree at an event hosted by congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords, as you remember was a Pro-Life, fiscally conservative democrat, and that Loughner was described by his friends as a liberal with a severe case of BDS.
The left has clearly been trying to use this tragedy to push their agenda, despite having all the facts against them. Good on Mark Levin for calling them out on it.
The Left’s MO
Michelle Malkin nails the left’s MO: Blame Righty: A condensed history
When the Republicans have a bad leader, they admit it, and get rid of them. The left can admit no failure, and when their policies bring bad results, they point their finger and try to pin the blame on their political opponents. The concept of “manning up” is completely and utterly foreign to them.

“Every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor.”
Liberal Logic
Liberal “Logic” claims that conservative talk convinced a liberal to shoot a pro-life, fiscally conservative democrat.
The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010
Michelle Malkin, who has been the target of a lot of vile, racist hate speech delivered by “tolerant and open minded liberals”, brings you:
The progressive climate of hate: A comprehensive illustrated primer in 8 parts:
I. PALIN HATE
II. BUSH HATE
III. MISC. TEA PARTY/GOP/ANTI-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE HATE
IV. ANTI-CONSERVATIVE FEMALE HATE
V. LEFT-WING MOB HATE — campus, anti-war radicals, ACORN, eco-extremists, & unions
VI. OPEN-BORDERS HATE
VII. ANTI-MILITARY HATE
VIII. HATE: CRIMES — the ever-growing Unhinged Mugshot Collection
It’s an excellent resource to counter the non-factual talking point leftists spout about “most of the hate coming from the right.”
Note the repeated use of violent imagery, including firearms. An integral part of anti-Bush assassination chic.
Don’t skip over the section of leftist hate and threatened violence targeted at women.
This is yet another example proving “here’s nobody more intolerant and narrow-minded than an tolerant and open-minded liberal.”
Political Humor
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Environment, Humor, Politics
A young woman from Los Angeles, CA who was a tree hugger, a liberal Democrat, an anti-hunter, and possibly a cousin of Julia Butterfly’s, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville, WA. There were many large, old trees on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the biggest tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to Mt. Carmel ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, “What took you so long?” He smiled and then told her, “Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I’m sorry, but due to Obama Care, they turned me down.”
