This just in: James Holmes was rejected from NOW and so he did this to prove he was bat shit crazy enough to join. NOW is currently reconsidering.

You're lucky that I was concerned you might be dead and I was the one who enticed you into going to the movie early so I am not going to get mad at you today.

Are you kidding??? The first thing these guys did was check to see if he was white. If he wasn't, they would have been in a freaking frenzy over TERRORISM!!!. Never mind that terror is a tactic not a race or a religion, they dismissed terrorism immediately because the guy wasn't Muslim. But you know they wanted him to be. Why? Ratings Cawacko. Sometimes talking to you is like talking about sex with a sheltered virgin. Can you really be this naive Cawacko? A political motive, whether it be the teaparty or OWS, during a fricking presidential election? JACKPOT!

And that is all there is to it. Ratings, ad dollars, and of course, for the individual reporters, screentime and glory.

Exactly.

ABC gets the name of the shooter and does what everyone does...a Google search of the name.

BANGO...back come the link to the Tea party page...so now, because they've been looking for some background info on the shooter and they report what they've found, they are of course out to deliberately discredit the Tea Party.

I swear...have you ever seen so many "personal responsibility" types get so butthurt so fast?

He didn't say the shooter is a tea party member.

ABC's Brian Ross reported this morning that there is "a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site... talking about him joining the Tea Party last year."

"Now, we don't know if this is the same Jim Holmes," Ross cautioned "but it's Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado."

In fact there is absolutely nothing non-factual about what he said. And there are righty blogs out there claiming this must be OWS connected because the film allegedly villainizes OWS. People should just relax instead of searching for reasons to be butthurt. Whenever something like this happens you have to take what is reported early with a big grain of salt. I do. I do NOT look for reasons to be the victim.

Just like they did with Trayvon Martin. And came up with lots of disinformation plastered all over the front page of Drudge. As are accusations of this kid.

Breitbart claims he's a registered Democrat.

Did he backtrack on that? No.

The ABC piece was full of doubt as to whether he belonged to the tea party and admitted all they did was google his name.

Did Breitbart? No.

I have two opinions.

a. Considering the number of weapons involved, he was probably a crazed militia member.

b. He was a dittohead.

yeah, bad joke/cheap shot on my part... still trying to wrap my head around it. Also a bit pissed at ABC etc... for such a blatantly irresponsible report.

Damo she probably knows her son is mentally ill. That doesn't make her culpable. Have you ever known someone with a mentally ill, adult child? I have.

I have as well, there is little they can do for their child, once that kid turns 18, they are an adult, and can not be made to seek help or be institutionalized against their will.

Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist. But the media looks to color first, so do, IMO, the authorities. If he's white, it doesn't qualify. That's the culture we live in.

It's a stupid measure. Anarchists are white, some are violent, Tim McVeigh was white and right-wing, some of those are violent too. The idea that white means that they are not terrorist is IMO, not a government position. Maybe a newsie's position, but not a government position. I'm relatively sure that the FBI has a terrorist watchlist that includes many white guys.

No surprise there. Do liberals ever care about the truth? They do not...even when hiding the truth means denying justice for others, such as Brian Terry.

Oh, balderdash, such a bullshit, blanket statement, sorry, but this type of generalization is lazy.

I have, but I have also watched them inform the authorities that her son was mentally ill and shouldn't have guns.

What would make her culpable would be the understanding that he was dangerous, with no sense of responsibility towards others. At least inform the right people that he may be a danger. It's the least you can do, the very least.

Who are you going to inform and what exactly do you think they would do about it?
