Who is at fault in the Colorado Batman shooting?

Answer: The guy who did it.
Why Brian Ross and co. at ABC thought it was “something” to link a name to the Tea Party only proves how bias they are and how oblivious they are to their own violence. After all, what link is there to the Tea Party and violent behavior? Occupy! has had far more criminal problems, yet left-wing media assumes every crazy/evil killer is a right-winger.
I think it’s because too often folks on the radical left assume conservatives are evil–that they are motivated by it and probably hiding it. We’ve even seen that kind of ugly smear from the President and Vice President of late (see: Voter ID law comments, Immigration, etc). So when something evil happens, they assume it must be one of THEM. On the other hand, folks on the right tend to view the left as misguided or deluded and not “evil” so they do not make the same assumption.
Understandably, people hearing of this tragedy are seeking to know “why?” Why evil happens to good people is one of life’s great mysteries for the faithful. Sometimes seeking the answer to that question leads us to political policies–but it would be nice if we could take 24 hours to fold our hands and pray instead of finger point and blame. Yet, with this massive shooting, we hardly had hours.
