There is this concept called "reality". When people literally do not say something, simply insisting that they did say something doesn't make it true.
Then posting a video of the person at a later date,
still not saying it , but talking about how YOU said they did, doesn't make it true, either, no matter how hard one closes their eyes and hopes it does.
Face it: the Sheriff brought up vitriolic talk in general, the far right wing immediately and defensively went over the edge attacking him and the left. Exactly as Brian said. Again. Predictably. It's what they do.
How many "liberal" media outlets actually, truely blamed someone on the right? Not very many. Not any in the major media.
Simply talking about the existence of Sarah's crosshair PAC ad (even Bill O'Reilly called it "lame", but no more) isn't "blaming". Talking about Sharron Angles' statement on second amendment remedies isn't "blame", it's discussing her talk. Showing images of the idiots that carried guns to political rallies isn't blaming. It's talking about the subject the Sheriff brought up, vitriolic rhetoric.
So let's talk about what you guys are screaming about. Have some said Beck, etc are indeed
to blame for this? Yes. Very few. In fact, so few, you guys should feel free to quote them and name them here. They are idiots to directly blame specific people's talk with the killer, there simply isn't any indication of that now.
In fact, there are plenty of quotes from people "on the left" agreeing with you, agreeing with that, saying nobody's talk on the national scene can possibly be blamed for the acts of a madman.
Hey, the Sheriff even said that in the original press conference.
Feel free to be turning your outrage on them - don't turn it on people that haven't said it, and are only trying to talk about the general vitriol out there. Like the Sheriff and the vast majority of the media.
