has a clip<\/a>\u00a0of a woman in the audience of a Santorum speech yelling that, in light of the \u2018gun\u2019 he was shooting, he should pretend it was aimed at Obama.\u00a0 Santorum, the article admits, did not hear her.\u00a0 When told what the woman said, Santorum immediately condemned it. So the million dollar question is, how is this news? <\/p>\nWell, it isn\u2019t news.\u00a0 It\u2019s propaganda.\u00a0 It\u2019s all part of the MSM\u2019s continued attempt to portray those who don\u2019t support progressive dogmas as brainless automatons moping about waiting for someone to play the Queen of Diamonds, thus causing them to go on a pre-programmed murderous rampage like the one in Tuscon last year that really didn\u2019t have anything to do with Right Wing rhetoric.\u00a0It follows the play book of that great 20th\u00a0propagandist who reminded us that if you tell a lie often enough, it will become true.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
So file this not as a news story, but as \u2018Told you they were murderous psychopaths, evidence A.14.3.\u2019<\/p>\n
UPDATE CORRECTION:<\/strong> I initially heard that this was at a speech Santorum was giving, and must have read the article with that in my mind.\u00a0 Turns out it was at a shooting range that Santorum was visiting, and while he was shooting, the individual said what he\/she said.\u00a0 The Secret Service is looking into it, as well they should.\u00a0 Otherwise, no reason to link it to Santorum (or I still believe, even report it given that things like this are said across the spectrum).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABC News\u00a0has a clip\u00a0of a woman in the audience of a Santorum speech yelling that, in light of the \u2018gun\u2019 he was shooting, he should pretend it was aimed at Obama.\u00a0 Santorum, the article admits, did not hear her.\u00a0 When told what the woman said, Santorum immediately condemned it.
