A caller on Rush reminded us of factual events in which the Left incited people to violence. Therefore, we now know that the violence committed by a lunatic this week was directly caused by the Old Media.
CALLER: You know, I've been listening for the last couple of days to all the news broadcasts, and they're -- they keep bringing up all the shootings and terror attacks and everything for the last 20 years, but the one thing never mentioned is the one on the Long Island Railroad that Colin Ferguson did. If you remember that, that was a month after Giuliani got elected mayor.
RUSH: I do remember that.
CALLER: Yeah. And he was actually found to have a note in his pocket saying that he was doing this because, A, he hates white people; and, B, he wanted to be sure he was outside the city limits so he wouldn't embarrass Dinkins. This was after people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson had been just scouring Giuliani and just saying horrible things about him; and immediately they began walking it back saying, "Oh, no, this poor guy, he's just crazy. It isn't our fault. This isn't what we do."
RUSH: Yeah, exactly. This is my point. When there is firsthand evidence that a leftist engages in this behavior because of an ideology, because he's been influenced by somebody else, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't say that. Let's not jump to conclusions here. This is a rush to judgment. Wait! We need to gather all the facts here." The exact opposite approach to an event like this. But I think it is important to point out again that at no time are any Democrat constituent groups ever blamed or associated. Hollywood movies and TV are very violent. Music is very violent. Some music promotes violence against law enforcement people. Obama's friend, Bill Ayers, was very violent. We have stories of union thugs beating up Tea Party activists.
In one case, a black Tea Party activist outside St. Louis. None of this matters. There is no control ever proposed. Well, there are now and then groups of social activists on the Republican side who say, "We need warning labels, more stringent warning labels," but no control is ever proposed over Hollywood, music, associations by politicians with domestic radicals, control of union violence. Never happens. Nor is it the case that any left-wing media is ever associated with any violent behavior like this. The profile of this guy, Jared Loughner? We know he listened to heavy metal. We know he was influenced by The Drowning Pool. But no speculation. If this guy does listen to talk radio or watch cable news shows? Do you think this guy actually listens to me or reads Sarah Palin's website? Highly unlikely. Do you think he might be the kind of guy that likes Bill Maher or Keith Olbermann?
