Jumping to the Wrong Conclusion

“People who knew Loughner described him as a Pot-smoking loner.” One friend interviewed by local news said “he hung around with anti-social kids, always wore black and spent most of his time with kids with lots of piercings.”

Another local Democrat politician in Tucson, during an interview today, suggested that the shooter must be a Tea Party person. Now we know that the true shooter was the polar opposite of a Tea Party participant and indeed a lifestyle much more in line with an anarchist or progressive. Like most liberals, the Tucson politician, Lopez, jumped to erroneous, biased statements that were far off base and irresponsible.

Although they are the constant targets of a liberal press, those with the Tea Party movement have proven to be one of the most peaceful, respectful groups in the country, contradicting the false, malicious labels and accusations that are slung their way. Today’s tragic events exposed one more example of that erroneous stereotyping.

Keep the victims of today’s tragic events in your prayers and thoughts.
