ABC News Decides 52 Year Old is a 24 Year Old So it Can Blame TEA Party for Mass Killing

I guess you get extra points from your Lefty-Media peers if you are the first out of the gate to blame the TEA party for something.  In this case it is the horrific slaughter of patrons at a midnight showing of the new Batman Movie in a Colorado Theater.  ABC wasted no time identifying one of the 30 people in Colorado with the assailants name associated with the TEA party.  They then connected them on the air.

They have since had to retract the claim, becasue they are not the same person, but I suspect they knew that would happen going in.  (Or are they really that sand and desperate a lot).  The goal is to make an impression, regardless of the truth or claims of its pursuit, before facts interrupt the per-defined left wing narrative.

James Holmes, 24, is only 28 years to young to be the TEA party James Holmes and I guess that at least has been cleared up.  But the motivations of the younger Holmes are not clear.  He may have shot as many as 50 and killed at least twelve.  He did not resist police when they arrived to arrest him so being taken alive was always the plan.

So what’s next?  Left wing calls to end midnight showings.  More demands for gun control from the administration that gives guns to Mexican drug lords?  Was it the over-sized sodas.  We’ll have to wait for the media to cycle through all their talking-points before we get to the truth but with major media reporters doing everything in their power to tie a murderer to their political opponents du jour instead of the more violent but politically favored Occupy Movement.

I don’t suppose there is much point in mentioning that one lawfully armed citizen could have stopped Holmes in his tracks the moment the shooting started.

(updated) – The innocent TEA party guy is only 52, not 55 (numbers updated), and becasue of repeated calls by left wing, TEA party hating lunatics, has reportedly had to have his phone turned off.
