Hollywood and violence
We have a pResident who commits an act of outrageous violence by invading Iraq.
Hundreds of thousands maimed, mutilated, and dead.

What does Scarborough focus on tonight, regarding the VT shootings?
That's right..."Hollywood violence". Are movies too violent and affecting our children.

The RW is nucking futs.
They obviously fail to realize that the leader of their party is a murderer.
And that he sets an example.

Holy shit.
This is crazy.



:crazy:

1. W teaches violence is the solution for "problems"
Not dialogue or compromise.

2. Wasn't the shooter from China?
If movies were the influence, this guy would have gone on a Bruce Lee rampage.

3. The American glorification of war, guns, military, conquest, and brute force
Shoot first, ask questions, oh hell, don't ask questions. It's not Hollywood. It's real. Did Old Joe mention any of that?

6. This Is Pavlovian
These asshats are so programmed any time something breaks in the news you can almost predict their knee-jerk reactions.

Last week when it was Imus throwing a racist and sexist slur at private citizens using free, public airwaves...this was the fault of rap and hip hop music. Then you can deflect the blame and try to score political points.

It was all but a given the "Hollywierd" connection and video games will eventually be the wingnut stalking horse in this story, no matter what the truth is. It serves the agenda and most of their horde are so poorly informed...getting their spin out early and often so the issue can be thoroughly confused.

Note how Joey brought on Bozell the Clown...I wish I could have put a stopwatch on how long it took for them to start the "blame the media", "blame Hollywood"...I think it was light speed.
