That is what Right-Wing nuts are posting all over Facebook.
Where do they come up with this crap?
Let me guess...infowars, breitbart, wnd, fox, beck,...etc
Am I right?
What a sick and twisted reality these angry lemmings live in. Wow.

Because, you see, when they take all those guns and go in an shoot up a Planned Parenthood clinic, it really isn't terrorism now, is it? It's just doin' God's work, you know.

(13,081 posts)As if the PP location and mention of "selling body parts" wasn't enough, here's a quote on Buzzfeed:
We went into the house, a real shit-hole, and within a few minutes he just gave us these pamphlets and said, Hey, if you ever want to talk, take a look at this stuff, said Post. The pamphlets, he remembers, called for President Obamas impeachment and had all sorts of crap against Obama.
I just thought it was weird that he would throw this political shit at me within a couple minutes of coming into his door, said Post. I didnt keep them or anything, I think I threw them into the fire that night.
He also met his live in girlfriend online, showing at least some understanding of how computers work. My guess he was a right wing nutjob that got radicalized on the Internet, just like so many other recent domestic terrorists.

(12,629 posts)"Fox News" must have embellished the statement a bit. Remember, they just make up the news as it happens. It doesn't have to be factual.

There is a bank in the area, but it's a bit far away from the either of those buildings.

But the bank itself has denied any of this happened there.

(27,787 posts)He had some woman on the phone who could not see the PP office, but she could see police near the bank, or something like that.
So Tapper starts to claim that apparently the stand-off is at least a 1/4 mile away from the PP office.
And he kept repeating that over and over, even though he had no real evidence of it, other than the report from a woman hiding in the backroom of a salon, who could no longer see anything at all.
I remember thinking that he sounded like he was actively trying to "will" the standoff away from the PP clinic.

(269,054 posts)Unfortunately from them local Colorado TV interviewed some witnesses and one said very early that the police told them to hide because the PP building was under attack and gunshots were coming from the building.
I can't help wondering if at least one of them asked him or herself whether they were partly responsible for this attack - they sure were less cautious about that discredited video.

(18,318 posts)It's way beyond blatting RW radio commentators and shout-show artists. They are on the 'tubes faster and in greater numbers with their agitprop and have the "truth" wrapped up, sacked up, and taken on home while everyone else is investigating. Their "geeks" and trolls may have a distinct edge on progressives when it comes to new technologies and communication.
Most of this comes as a result of the MSM's collapsed ability to legitimize trustworthy news. Legitimacy and the truth is who can pump their gas the fastest to the most people. The FR also has a taste for sport and comedy.
