I'm not sure whether the left's reflexive scapegoating of Tea Party for every act of violence says more about their ignorance or malice.
Conservatives Outraged At Suggestion Colorado Shooter Belonged To Tea Party
Conservatives took to Twitter to denouonce ABC News reporter Brian Ross for passing off a simple Google search as proof that Aurora theater shooter James Holmes has ties to the Tea Party.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

1. Here’s ABC’s report connecting Holmes to the Tea Party from this morning’s Good Morning America broadcast.
There are over 25 James Holmes in and around Aurora, but ABC News found a Tea Party member with that name. Big suprise!
ABC's Brian Ross positing potential tea party link 2Aurora shooter not surprising. Media did the same thing in aftermath of Giffords.
Love how some in MSM go 2 great lengths 2 try 2 find Tea Party links when violence occurs, but won't report documented violence in Occupy
It says much about the state of our media that the first place they look when trying to place blame for horrific tragedy is the tea party.
That didn't take long: ABC draws possible Tea Party connection with alleged Aurora shooter politico.com/blogs/media/20…
Hey @BrianRoss @GStephanopoulos why did you blame Tea Party re:James Holmes in Batman #theatershooting shar.es/tKQPV on @GMA on @ABC?
Even a liberal shamed Ross and ABC.
Typical wild recklessness from Brian Ross is.gd/FzBVqM (via @adamserwer)

Michael MacDonald 10 months agoanything at this point is speculation.
The conservatives are doing the same thing and are trying to blame it on the ‘liberal media’. Let’s be better than this fellow liberals and not speculate while the investigation is ongoing. I have reasons to believe that this may be another breivik incident as well, but we don’t know enough yet.
Keep your ear to the ground though,
because if this is another breivik incident we need to start talking about the civility act again.
In that case, it’s not even about bipartisan politics.
It’s about protecting all Americans. -

CameronHodge 10 months agoThat’s the difference between right wing news and the rest of the media. This is an embarassment and a black mark on ABC news. When Fox lies, it’s just a regular Friday.

This type of bull drives me crazy, in the mist of a happening story a reporter puts out what he finds, but Foxnews flat out reports a lie or there opinion with no facts & every conservative runs with likes it was true from the start.

therblig 10 months agoi wouldn’t doubt that all the media was doing the same thing, this jughead was just the first to put it out there. I’m sure MSNBC was googling “James Holmes Tea Party NRA GOP” as frantically as Fox was googling “James Holmes DNC Muslim OWS”. Meanwhile, someone whose kid didn’t come home last night is still searching for real information.

bens7 10 months agoThis doesn’t mean anything. It’s useless to report and also useless to be upset over. He says “we don’t know if it is the same Jim Holmes.” Television news does this when a national incident occurs, it stays on the air and starts spewing information without giving the time to properly research and vet. I understand why other Tea Party people might be upset. But I just listened to some guy on Rush Limbaugh go off for about an hour about how the liberals have rushed to politicize this thing. Who is really doing the politicizing? One caller even speculated the guns Holmes used were from Fast and Furious. For God’s sake…
