James Eric Fuller: The "Lamestream" Media Not Afraid to Throw the Tea Party and Sarah Palin a Bone
Just days after Sarah Palin accused the media of "blood libel" for targeting her target map (apparently the real victim was her, not those that lost their lives in the shooting or their families), those big, bad liberal journalists are throwing her one very big juicy bone. So will she pounce on it?
The LA Times reports that one of the Arizona shooting victims, a...wait for it...democrat (Sarah Palin is already salivating) by the name of James Eric Fuller (going by three names is never good) recently told a tea party activist, "You're dead" (OMG, she's jumping for joy) at a town hall meeting for victims and witnesses.
James Eric Fuller was shot in the knee by gunman Jared Lee Loughner, and this angry disabled vet is definitely proof that the "vitriol" from both sides doesn't stop here. And to make this an even juicier story for Sarah Palin, the guy making death threats is a former campaign volunteer for Gabrielle Giffords. Could this story get any better for Sarah Palin? (Oh, don't worry; this crazy guy was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation.)
The subject that incited James Eric Fuller to make his threat was apparently gun control, and his death threat was aimed at a tea party spokesman being interviewed about his opposition to gun control laws. James Eric Fuller has also made statements blaming the likes of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Sharron Angle for the Tucson shooting.
With the "lamestream" media throwing such a great anti-Democrat story out there for Sarah Palin supporters to eat up, will she forgive the media and perhaps use this story to her advantage? It would be so easy for her to post a message saying, "see, the left is where the real loonies are," but in doing so, she would also be admitting that the media doesn't just report on tea party activists behaving badly.
So poor Sarah Palin just can't win when it comes to using the media to her advantage, unless she's using someone like Sean Hannity. But when you can make a living by speaking at sold out hunting conventions, do you really need to keep whining about the media not being on your side?

Post a CommentAida. F.Y.I. the "lamestreamers" didn't exactly hand conservatives a "big, juicy bone with the Eric Fuller story,,,they've pretty much buried it.
Imagine. however, the media reaction if Fuller had been a Republican. Can you, Aida? I didn't think so.
Armageddon TT has a huge emotional investment in his/her onesided evaluation. Wow! Scary. Now there's a case... you know the type.
I have yet to meet or read the writings of a liberal democrat that didn't come across as a raging lunatic. It's quite amuzing actually. Bottom line, if a member of the GOP or Tea Party had been shot, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and the like would not have blamed the entire democratic party. The blame would have only been at the nut that committed the crime. I guess this shouldn't suprise any one though. Liberals never take responsibility and are always ready to pass the blame. That's why they want a big government (someone to take care of them). By the way, I used to vote democrat until I worked in public housing for 6 years and saw exactly want our big government was doing (enabling people to never do anything positive for themselves). It's a hard pill to swallow when someone that is living off the government is driving a new Cadillac or Lincoln while you work hard and drive a car that barely runs. I would assume that most posts attacking S. Palin came from younger in
James Eric Fuller just proves that nuts are nuts. This guy went to the shooters house to "forgive" his parents. The rush to judgement by the left RE: this tragedy has been disgusting, especially the attacks on Sarah Palin. People need to accept and recognize responsibility of these nuts and not paint HUGE groups of people with a broad brush. Politicizing such tragic events is a desperate attempt to make themselves look better. A nut is a nut is a nut...........
People need to wake up to the fact that Sarah Palin like Glenn Beck are simply 2 opinion pushing morons who do not possess a single ounce of personal or journalistic integrity. Glenn beck is simply an idiot who mixes mormon cult teachings with cherry picked parts of Catholicism with his inner core as a dry alcoholic while Sarah Palin has shown that is only good at throwing right wing extremist bombs but could not catch them from the other side when she abandon her constituents as Governor of Alaska. These idiots climbed in bed with Satan a very long time ago. These 2 losers are good at one thing and one thing only and that is making big money by selling their lies, hate, fear mongering and half truths to impressionable idiots who are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history. You know the type…..those who are dumb enough to be tea baggers or registered republicans.
wow how did you connect sarah to this incident exactly? i'm amazed you're allowed a computer.
The media has always been Sarah's friend. They trash her, they bash her, they lie about her, they make fun of her.
No one likes a bully so the American people side with Palin. Falsly accusing her for Tuscon is going to put her on top. The media will be in a dumpster eating the garbage they've been dishing out.
Please focus like a laser beam. Hundreds if not thousands of bloggers, supposedly reasonably news organizations and oh people like the Sheriff of Pima County accused conservatives (like me) of killing six people and wounding 13 others. Mrs. Palin responded to that accusation and defended the First Amendment to the Constitution and our electoral system.
She never called for anyone's death and did nothing different from what hundreds of Democrats and liberals do each election cycle.
She has been verbally pilloried, by among others, the very man who now has told a person he disagrees with "you're dead" in a manner that the police deemed threatening. Now, in truth, if she had not responded I doubt this story would get much coverage and as of now, it really hasn't.
Would any of this have happened if the shootings had not taken place? Probably not. It is unfortunate that the police never referred Loughner for a psychiatric evaluation. Sometimes w
Lacks insight, but a decent first paper. For future papers: investigate (and provide a full measure of) the span of facts, i.e. A to Z, remembering not to bypass T through Z on the assumption it is already known. Then write to be right. This way, wisdom is revealed to both the writer and the reader. Cheers.
