Congressman Adam Kinzinger attacks Planned Parenthood on live TV during shooting at Colorado Springs clinic
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/congressman-adam-kinzinger-attacks-planned-parenthood-on-live-tv-during-shooting-at-colorado-springs-a6752476.html
Adam Kinzinger, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives, criticised Planned Parenthood's statement about the incident as "very premature", while speaking to CNN as the shooting took place.
Mr Kinzinger said he would fully expect an apology from Planned Parenthood if it became clear they were not the target of the shooting.
Mr Kinzinger demanded the apology, despite the fact Planned Parenthood acknowledged they dont yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack.
The congressman also referred to series of secretly taped videos purporting to show Planned Parenthood executives selling off fetal tissue.

(37,163 posts)...and he tried to imply that PP wasn't really involved (e.g., it was a robbery of the nearby bank) but was taking advantage of the incident for PR purposes -- posing as under attack when whey were (allegedly) not.
Of course, within hours it was clear that he (and other RWers like NRO editor Jonah Goldberg, who used the bank angle to attack Bernie Sanders on Twitter) was doing precisely what he was claiming PP was doing.
So sane people want two questions answered:
1) Where's his apology; and
2) who at CNN thought it was a good idea to book him, and why hasn't that person (and at least two levels of his or her superiors) lost their jobs yet?

(873 posts)This piece of shit was acting like he was the Publicity Agent Front Man for fundamentalist religious extremist Christo Fascist Terrorists
Rep. Colostomy Bag was actually providing reasons, excuses, justification for the terrorist attack
And then he wants an apology from PP.
Then he gives the standard, typical cover used for every Right wing political religious terrorist attack, that the terrorists was mentally ill. If that is so, then the entire Right wing base must be a mentally ill bunch of fuckheads

The next time there is an active shooting going on in a place often targeted by hatemongers could you wait until the bodies are cold before inviting a hatemonger on to incite more violence? Thanks.
