Immediately After Arizona Shooting, MSNBC's Russert Suggested ObamaCare Backlash Was the Cause

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matt-hadro/2011/01/11/immediately-after-arizona-...

During MSNBC's live coverage immediately following Saturday's attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), correspondent Luke Russert theorized that the shooting was probably a violent reaction to the passage of ObamaCare, for which Giffords cast an affirmative vote.

"Remember, this is the deepest fear that was in the back of everybody's mind going through the health care debate. A lot of members were threatened," Russert warned during coverage of the shooting. "It looks sadly like it's come to fruition today."

Russert's comment came during the 3 p.m. EST hour of MSNBC News Live; the network was in ongoing live coverage of the event, which occurred around 10:15 a.m. local time, 12:15 p.m. EST.

Remember, these are the same people who told us not to rush to judgement when it came to Islamic extremest killers like Hassan and the NYC car bomber (who Bloomberg suggested might be someone from the tea party).

What the fuck did he base his assertion hat it had something to do with Obamacare? Nothing! He seriously just made it up and reported it as fact. He's learning well over at DNCTV.

Left wingnuts on some networks are pulling back from their initial onslaught of bullshit 'reporting' and 'theorizing' about this issue.

It has backfired BIG TIME...

MSNBC along with a handful of other left wingnut propaganda machines pushed themselves deeper into the abyss of irrelevancy.

Luke Russert, your father would be deeply ashamed of you if he were alive right now.

So now the vast majority of Americans is a "fringe group". That would make the percentage of Americans that voted for Obama even more of a fringe group. Think before you speak.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - PAUL JOSEPH GOEBBELS
