When I first heard of the shootings in Arizona my heart sank. I felt grief for the families and anger at whoever did this. At the time I did not even know the name of the shooter. Admittedly I was inwardly concerned that this might be someone who had an ax to grind with the Democrats because of their power grab of individual liberty over the last two years. I was inwardly concerned that some crackpot from the right was going to ruin all the hard work of the Tea Party and the Conservative movement in some crazed murder spree. I had inward thoughts of another Tim McVey. The traditional media outlets tried very hard and very early to help me conclude that my initial fears were reality. Why were they not successful?
