The Week in Stupid: Cable Pundits on the Giffords Shooting

Immediately following last week's tragic events in Tucson, television pundits fell over each another to assign blame. According to the professional talking heads--and despite any actual evidence--the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords could be pinned on the Tea Party, Ayn Rand, gold enthusiasts, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, heavy metal, marijuana, and/or the "heated rhetoric" of cable news. Reason.tv trawls the archives and compiles the dumbest responses from America's dumbest pundits.

Approximately 1.43 minutes.

Main stream news media has zero credibility.

@joepeeler34 hey fuckstick? Can you read. I posted, "I am NOT saying the tone did this". Sarah Palin awaits your vote. Water seeks it's own level...

[AtibbsSPARTAN]

what is reprehensible is trying to use a tragedy to paint your opposition as blood thirsty monsters....it makes my stomach turn

[felpaluche]

Makes me sad...

@roguetrip99 no I think is anti-American is defined with disagreeing with our country and it's Constitution, Rights (as they are really meant to be), and our sovereignty...and the foreign anti-American tyrant choice you made as our "president"....

[SlackerSlayer]

I want to know if the blue or brown eyed "shooter" was taken to the loonie bin.

of course, fucking chris matthews is on here

@10072018 and conservatives define being anti-American as disagreeing with them

"Pray for Obama! Psalm 109.8"

Replace "Obama" with "Bush" and in 2004 that statement would've gotten you a 1-way trip to Gitmo. Republicans say that criticizing the president is high treason when he's one of their own, but if the POTUS is a Democrat, it's okay to PRAY FOR HIS DEATH. That just shows you what kind of people they are.

@bsabruzzo I agree with you. I never said I blamed anyone other than the shooter.

@dirksilver Seriously? You waited 4 days and THAT'S what you came up with? Dude, better to just let the argument die and learn what you could have from your humiliation.
