Ed Morrissey notes a new CBS poll:
CBS polled almost 700 adults in the wake of the mass murder in Tucson committed by Jared Lee Loughner to determine whether the media spin that the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the murders of six others was a political act had resonated with the public. Perhaps surprisingly, the spin machine seems to have failed. A majority of 57% say that politics had nothing to do with the shooting, and even a plurality of 49% of Democrats agree…
As a poll of “adults” rather than “registered voters” or “likely voters”, you’ll have a much larger sampling of ignorant people…people who only get their knowledge from the MSM and are usually pretty easily suckered by whatever it is the MSM is saying. And even with poll containing a large sample of that part of the population, we still get a solid majority rejecting the DNC/MSM narrative. That is quite impressive – shows how weak the MSM is getting. And I’ll bet a poll of likely voters would show even stronger rejection of the slander about Arizona.
The full truth is beginning to emerge about Loughner:
…”This is just someone who is profoundly mentally disturbed,” said Brian Levin, the executive director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. “It wasn’t Sarah Palin who did this to him.”
Levin said his writings indicate that he may have borrowed some ideas from various hate websites, but that he didn’t appear to have any set philosophy.
“This guy is on a slippery slope of impairment, and he appears to be at the bottom of it,” Levin said…
You liberals out there have a chance to redeem yourself, at least as far as this blog goes – you can start posting your apologies for even so much as remotely suggesting that any thing the right did played a role in this terrible event. I’m not expecting any of you liberals to show such a sense of honor and decency, but I do hope that you rise above the level you’ve fallen and do the right thing.
