    His thread was closed as "flamebait", and he is now trolling threads with the same thing that caused his thread to get shut down.

    You are correct, onalandline.

    The Tea Party Members are a very peaceful group.

    Vocal, but peaceful. They always picked up their debris and discarded signs before they left the public parks.

    The radical Left, on the other hand, left our public parks looking like this.

    Everywhere the Left goes and everything the Left does, they leave nothing but destruction in their wake. Our national economy and our banking system are no exceptions.

    100% correct Dispondent. Unfortunately, the only way to correct this type of (possibly criminal) behaviour, is to boycott them, or, high profile sue them.

    Its not a conspiracy, its a tactic we have seen over and over again. Its nothing more than planting a seed to see what grows, in this case it was possibility, and that was all over these boards in no time flat, its a simple manipulation tactic, and you can sadly see the results of it here. I'll wait at least 24 hours before forging an opinion on the shooter, perhaps we will have some factual evidence by then. The people that latched on to the TEA Party angle wanted to believe that, for whatever reason, the same is true of those that want to believe the guy may be part of OWS.

    so you believe that Breitbarts mistake was "deliberate, the information and message they wanted to get out", and that they are trying to mislead people to cloud the facts?

    I was speaking about the forum custom... not my own personal views. I just bolded that part in my post for you.

    You didn't know Nidal Malik Hasan was Muslim?! Not sure how that is anyone's fault but your own. The reports I read even said the guy was wearing "Muslim dress."

    I am currently only boycotting Chinese products atm, when capable of determining. I would not boycott Breitbart...I like what they do, and, even if they were the starting source for the major media conglomerate known as ABC, I still wouldn't boycott them, just ABC who has a history of this tactic and no excuse given their magnitude to get things properly sourced (if in fact it wasn't by design)

    That being said, the Conservative base has not reached a zenith yet where they will enmasse boycott (a staple of the left), so it is relatively pointless currently, until they come to grips with using their new found organizational clout to extend to boycotting.

    I guess not denying blatant hypocrisy is to be admired...

    The lib journalist at ABC News is incompetent and should be fired for such shoddy work.

    Word on the street is the shooter is an angry/jaded homosexual who Barry Soetoro recently kicked to the curb for a younger man.


    I'll apologize a la ABC when this is disproved.

    He did exactly what they wanted of him, more likely he'll get a raise or his own show...

    Great observations!

    Another poster said a friend of hers went to the wealthy Orange County Mental Health department because she was suicidal (in part due to trying to make a living while disabled). After 3 weeks and a 45 minute evaluation they sent her a letter telling her she did not qualify for any help.

    Then they sent her a bill for $345 for their 45 minute denial evaluation. She called her friend and asked her to take her guns away for a while because she was afraid she would go postal and didn't want to hurt anyone. There is often NO state help for people with mental problems.

    I have a strong feeling the very same thing may have happened in this case!

    Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of lousy medical care we all will be faced with when Obamacare fully kicks in during 2014. We will have too many patients and not enough doctors, not enough clinics and not enough money to care for them!

    I don't think you're correct. The guy used tear gas. How do you know a gun user would be able to effectively fire any helpful shots? You also have to take into account the fact that it was a crowded, and now panicked, theatre. What if you shoot innocents instead?

    There are a lot of variables you are ignoring.

    With liberal hate and propaganda spewing 24/7 from ABC news it's best to set the record straight here at politicalforum.com. The Colorado shooter hasn't been shown to have any ties to any Tea Party. Nice try by the anti-american ABC News network.

    Brian Ross should just stick to lieing about all the great jobs Obama is creating
    instead of resorting to cheap shot at the organizations he hates.


    In the wake of the shooting that occurred in Aurora, Colorado last night at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, rumors, theories, and unchecked speculation have been floating around the internet. ABC correspondent Brian Ross reported earlier today that James Holmes, the 24-year-old man who was arrested for the shooting, may be a member of the Tea Party.

    Just keeping the record straight!

    ABC goes with their fervent gut feeling to blame the right and the Tea Party based on absolutely nothing at all. When fascism comes to America it will be sponsored and promoted by ABC and their fellow propandaists.

    Beat me to it! Brian Ross was the reporter but I don't know if he was reporting based on a producer's copy or his own.

    But I'm not surprised that the first thing they would think of is a tea partier. As I recall that's the first thing Bloomberg thought of for the Times Square bombing. As usual, reality seldom conforms with their wishes.

    The news media in general is a monster. They deliberately try to sensationalize all stories for ratings which in turn produce greater advertising dollars. Doesn't matter if it attacks the left or right. It's all about ratings first! Then there is the pressure of reporters scoping each other with exclusives so they can work their way up and make a name for themselves. The news media in general is very corrupt in this respect.

    Not entirely. The point is that the Hate network ABC News purposely tried to tie the tea party with
    a negative event to score political points.

    ABC, the network of hate, could have tied the shooter to some Union, NFL, the Black Panthers or other hateful organization. But Brian Ross's liberal bias directed him to pick the tea party, a non-violent organization, that had nothing to do with it.

    I know they did, and, it was beyond stupid for them to do so...

    I was just pointing out that there was a thread started on this same subject earlier...

    *shrug*
