I figured I'd find a few links that present the liberal biased reporting that has gone on in the past few days. Of course they're linked by conservative media, but who else would blow the whistle on liberal bias and spin. The words the liberals say are their own. I even included a link from Fox News resident liberal pundit Geraldo Rivera.

This is not counting a number of left wing politicians who've made accusatory statements on media broadcasts. If you like, I will link them also. I can also find newspaper columns by liberal writers if you'd like and link them. You just tell me how much convincing you need.

dklassen: You're kind of hiding behind the word "far". How would you react if someone said "The far right hates individual freedoms and have been trying to squash all dissenting opinion in the name of security"?

Would you, or would you not jump to the defense of the Rush Limbaughs of the world?

A friend of mine who could very well be considered far left it quite well versed in the Constitution and clings to it dearly. He especially has a "fetish" for the 4th & 5th Ammendments in the way that the right is *characterized* having their for the 2nd.

[That being said, I'm dismayed at the indifference *many* liberals *in Washington* display towards the 1st Ammendment]

GRACIE...you and Cologal should check out the New York Times which has long editorial today on Palin and how she is hiding out and talking to Beck. OR...this mornings front page of the New York Daily News showing pictures of Palin, Beck and Coulter and directly placing blame..OR have you watched CNN and Anderson Cooper who had Bill Maher on DIRECTLY correlating the shooting to ONLY right wingers.

Yes, the forum has not shown a pretty face in this thing, and I have posted a number of times saying it had nothing to do with any party and was a mentally unbalanced man..period....HOWEVER, in all fairness, the guns are truely aimed .

As I said in another post, this is a quote from the President of the United States in Philadelphia...

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

He was speaking of Republicans who will try and defeat him when he said that....was he responsible then for any violence, say the Black Panthers practicing thuggery at the polls ?

I say NO.....he had absolutely nothing to do with that...those words did not turn those people into thugs.

The point is this was the work of ONE man....what provoked him..I have no idea, nor does anyone on here nor the editors of those newspapers. We hear this crazy rhetoric about what causes stuff all the time...who caused all the other shootings that have occured in the political realm over the years ?

BUT...it must be noted that the comment that the media has NOT twisted this is not correct at all !!

NY TIMES ARTICLE..

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/11/us...2+NArKUiNfP9Ig

NY DAILY NEWS..

http://www.nydailynews.com/

The rhetoric is not the problem...the twisting of facts and the out of context articles and comments that are used to fill up the need for 24 hour news is what prompts so much of this. We now criticize MEDIA OUTLETS for being too left..too right, etc. The media..those who we trust to bring us information and nobody talks about that...I have brought this subject up here a number of times with no luck. The media is not REPORTING..they are MAKING the news anymore.

Don't be misled however, this tragedy is being used for political purposes !

PS: You might be interested in how that bastion of good grace and non confrontational talk, Mr. Keith Olbermann handled it on MSNBC....

If I had a dime for every time someone on the left mentioned hate speech, being selfish, not caring, no compassion, bigot, homophobe, raciest, bible clinger, accessory to murder, war mongers, wanting to starve children, don't care about the poor, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc in the context of being a Conservative I'd be a rich man. It's been going on for years and getting worse as you can see over the last few days.

Oppose the Obama agenda and you are a raciest as so many on the left have said time and time again.

The left routinely and on a daily bases attack The Constitution, Conservatives, Christians, their values, family values, on and on and on.

Here, I'll make you all feel better. Do all people on the left do those things or feel that way. Of course not.

Funny thing is you turn the tables and use the word hate in the context of the left and they blow a gasket.

Bucco....with all due respect I have made every effort to say clear of this finger pointing thing from the get go. In my post I clearly said I was NOT watching MSNBC, did ya miss that part? I am NOT watching cause I didn't want to hear it. I have a NUT app on my Phone and may have read that article. I was very careful to call out what I had been watching.

Some people are talking about the tone however, most agree we will most likely never know if this guy was influenced by anything other than his mental instability.

We can agree that posts on this forum regarding this issue are an indication of the larger problem.

So just for fun who said....

"Don't retreat Reload"
"We may have to use a 2nd Amendment remedy"

As a recovering Catholic who grew up in the 50's.....I saw what the "Christians" say about JFK, heck my nephew ran for public office in the 70's and was labeled a papist. Do you remember the signs during the civil rights fight that says the bible says "Don't mix the tribes?"

The Westboro Church people are "Christian"......

And then there is that really good Christian who walked into a church pulled out a gun and shot a doctor point blank in the head.

We all have our dark sides......

JUST FOR FUN ?

Sorry...find nothing funny about any of this !!

I was not talking ABOUT YOU...it is not always about you...I merely made the suggestion to those who posted and felt the media was being fair, that is not the case. This was not aimed at YOU nor anyone else...simply replying to those of you who say the media is not bias on this tragedy. All ? No...the big ones are not hiding it and are in a frenzy to attack and make poltiical points

Bucco.....you quoted my post. That is why I responded.

I had a typo....the app on my IPhone is for the New York Times so I might have read that article. Yes the media is talking about the political climate but most everyone, I even watched Fox News interview the Sheriff, is being very careful to state this probably had nothing to do with this tragedy.

Now in your post you used the Presidents knife vs gun quote.....you did not include the other 2 quotes.

So think of this .The Dems, as pointed out on this site used a target in 2004, Palin used the crosshairs of a gun with the candidates names and then someone running against, the now wounded Congresswomen, invited people to a firing range during the campaign. That progression is terrifying......

I am in NO WAY saying this shooter is anything but mentally unstable but think about that progression.

Hum... Far left?

This link should be a thread all it's own and it should immediately shut up every deranged Bush-hater who is now trying to place blame for the Arizona shootings on Palin or Limbaugh or on some other political enemy of the month.

Of course it won't, because liberals are usually shameless hypocrites and I don't expect that to change soon.

This is now officially pointless. We all hated Bush/Cheney and were praying for their deaths. Oh wait we don't pray I forgot. We are now talking to agents of the dark side to perform heinous rituals which will bring forth plagues/destruction etc so that the Christians think it's the 2nd coming. Then Obama can assend as the anti Christ and you can all collectively say:


I TOLD YOU SO

Nice spin though. The discussion only ever becomes pointless when the argument has been made and cannot be refuted. Wonder what the reaction would be from a few here if it was tea party folks carrying signs like that against Obama? Something tells me the discussion would no longer be pointless.

I wasn't pointing at you and don't know what your objection to undeniable evidence of left-wing hate is. The conservatives did not start this debate in the media, but are only responding to it.

But in making fanciful and hallucinatory references as you've done in this post is supposed to ridicule the truth and the evidence presented ........... well, I thought you better than that.

You also ignored my previous post in which I linked many instances of left wing media's blame game and I can link a dozen more easily. But then again, what could you say, except "you're right".

It does not appear to me that everyone is being careful at all. I am sad and sickened by what has happened. I had hoped everyone would realize that this was a lone sick man but not so....

Even in England...

"How America's elite hijacked a massacre to take revenge on Sarah Palin"

The UK Mail is surely not a conservative site, but they continue after that headline...

"Gabrielle Giffords was a Democrat and much - but not all - of the badly spelt, incoherent YouTube jumble that passed for the politics of her attacker was broadly ‘Right-wing’.

As a result, many liberal *commentators and establishment figures have leapt at the opportunity to blame conservative politicians.

The rush to make political capital out of a mass shooting shows just how nasty U.S. *politics has become. Under Barack Obama, America is more polarised than it has been for 40 years."

I am so saddened and sick by all of this. I initially felt as Gracie did...the forum was bad but the media was doing ok...but as the days go on, and I read quite a bit in a day....the march is consistent, the same, and appears to be together. As others have pointed out, there were no worries by anyone when Bush was potrayed as a Nazi on a daily basis in NYC central park, nor when the "Kill Bush" signs came out plus so much other stuff...it appears that kind of hate is ok....I dont get it and I am so disgusted by it all.

How we allow the media to pick based on political orientation what the news will be is just insulting. I thought the election of 2008 was terrible but this is beginning to edge on bizarre and crazy !

And now Sen. Bernie Sanders has sent out a fundraising letter to profit from these shootings.
