Colorado Shooting.. Tea Party Member Falsely Accused by Media

[Leanne King]

One must wonder WHY the media would rush to such a judgement. Are they looking for a way to further smear our moment? Are they so controlled by the Liberals and the evil agenda that they are willingly to totally destroy any credibility that they may have left? Are they involved in sending out "False Flags" to create chaos and unrest before the elections?

One must wonder how ABC, A NEWS ORGANIZATION would not accept responsibility for their reporting but try to shift the blame to the "Social Media". What? They do not ensure the integrity of their words anymore?

You decide and be aware of what we face.

Accused by ABC
Breitbart News spoke to James Michael Holmes, the Tea Party member falsely identified this morning by ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America as the possible suspect in the mass shooting early this morning at a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. He is a 52-year-old Hispanic conservative who joined the Tea Party after becoming disillusioned with the Republican party.
"It was freaky," said Holmes, describing his reaction when ABC News speculated that he was the culprit who entered a crowded theater and opened fire on dozens of innocent men, women, and children. He disconnected his telephone and says that he is worried about members of his family who might be contacted by the media.
ABC News has since corrected its initial report, but tried to share the blame with "social media" and "members of the public" at first:
An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect.
Now the correction has been updated, with ABC News and Brian Ross taking full responsibility, and apologizing:
An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.
Holmes reached out to Breitbart News to explain that he is not the suspect initially identified by ABC News, nor is he the James Holmes mentioned in a separate article by Breitbart News.
He is a conservative activist who has worked in law enforcement, and who used to work at the county courthouse in Aurora near the theater where the shootings took place.
He described his recent decision to join the Tea Party Patriots:
I felt a general dissatisfaction with what I guess I like to characterize as the establishment Republicans. I had been to Republican conventions to try to get involved, to see who I could join or get aligned with. I wanted to be effective in changing the outcome for my country. I wouldn't say I was stonewalled, nobody answered me in the Republican Party--not a soul would contact me. I even paid to get involved with the Colorado Hispanic Republicans and nothing happened. The only people that would really be open and honest and invite me to participate were the Tea Party Patriots. I had offers to come to this lecture and that lecture, and offers to come to trainings, so it was something that felt like it was politically active.

Nice Job John

John, too many people have been conditioned to discount anything which gets branded as a conspiracy. They've become blind to the fact that there really are conspiracies. The events of this day and age shouldn't surprise anyone, they've been in the works for decades while far too many people were asleep.

Liberals don't care about any statistics which do not support their goals, and for many of them the fear of weapons is a true phobic reaction, like some people are about spiders and snakes. The phobics aren't going to pay attention and the statists who exploit the phobics are only going to mock the truth. Statistics are valuable but they aren't going to turn the tide.

The root issue isn't public safety, it is all about power.

This is the mentality that said Tea Party activist were responsible for the shooting of the Arizona Congress woman.

The gun control freaks are every where.

It's typical of the News Media whose agenda is different than ours. I'm glad Breitbarts organization interviewed him. The interview revealed he tried the Republican Party, they let him down, so he joined the Tea Party. Says something  for the man's character. Also seems he forgot is Hispanic heritage in making his decision.

[William Korach]

It is the knee-jerk response of the left/media to blame the Tea Party or the NRA. Got to have gun control-just ask Mayor Bloomberg.

[James Kring]

Just an inane and banal comment, making as much sense as this criminal act.  (And blaming Bush for many things, someone will mention him in some context)!

[James Kring]

To what extend will George Bush be culpable?

It's time to call 1-800-ASK-GARY. I'd sue them for every dime you could get for pain and suffering and character assassination. What goes around, comes around. Pointing fingers at the TP is the most ridiculous thing you could do. They are members of the most honorable, responsible citizens group in this Nation. Only the sheeple would believe that accusation.

Just this morning I was talking to a neighbor about this tragedy and remarked that I hoped the media would let the investagation take it course and refrain from speculations and sensational reporting. That was before I was aware of this report. It is what I have come to expect from the main stream media. Truth does not matter to them anymore. I view most of what they report as suspect!
