    I noticed a sticker on the back window of a SUV parked at his parents…The sticker says

    “To Write Love On Her Arms”

    I googled it and it came back to a blog that looks pretty leftist…Its about depression or some shit, haven’t looked through the entire site yet.

    Get this, in the “vision” section it states…

    “The vision is people putting down guns and blades and bottles.”

    *UPDATE* ABC News Corrects…

    Editor’s Note: An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

    I remember the good old days when inept reports like Brian Ross would be fired on the spot.

    The Tea Party Jame Holmes? 52 years old – 28 years older than the killer. He’s had to disconnect his phone because he’s received so many violent threats from whackjob loony leftards.

    Pathetic, all the way around – from ABC to the flame-throwing asshat progs!!

    I almost forgot. This is the same POS that did the hit piece on Romney and the Cayman Islands back in January.

    Is anyone here really surprised that Ross would pull a stunt like this? It worked so well for them when they connected Jared Loughner to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party so why not try it again?

    This has been standard media MO at least since Kennedy was assassinated. Dan Rather made his career move from local TV to CBS by reporting from “deep in the hate of Texas”, as he and the network attempted to convince the nation that the president was killed by right-wing southern fanatics. The fact that the assassin turned out to be a communist with a history of violence and a penchant for attention whoring media stunts hardly seemed to matter once the narrative was in place and 50 years later, a large number of people consider that killer to a scapegoat or minor player at best.

    They keep doing this because it works and it fits the narrative that leftists are always the good guys and never violent. It imparts fear in short attention span “apolitical” idiots who vote Democrap by default and think CNN and Jon Stewart are legitimate news sources. It feeds the perception that the guy with the Gadsden flag bumper sticker is not merely someone who disagrees with you but is literally violent and dangerous.
