Gabriel Malor of Ace of Spades HQ has had just about enough of the mainstream media making every and any attempt to paint consevatives and tea partiers as a violent, unhinged fringe.

In the end, this summary just about says it all:
@rdbrewer4 Happens every time there's violence where the motive is not immediately known. The media speculates and inevitably suggests RWNJ.

The MSM has made up their mind about conservatives, tea partiers, Fox News, bloggers, veterans, and the average American in general. It's our job as responsible citizens to make sure America's Ministry of Truth does not go unanswered. Today that charge was led by one man with a good memory and twitter feed. As always, the Right Scoop is here to join the fray.
