AP Compares Pentagon Shooter To Republican Senator Jim DeMint

Pentagon Metro Shooting

Associated Press excerpt from story titled “When Raw Anger At The Government Turns Violent”:

In an Internet posting, Bedell had suggested an act like the 2001 terrorist attacks could have been the work of a criminal organization controlling the U.S. government, accepting a “sacrifice of thousands of its citizens … as a small cost in order to perpetuate its barbaric control.”

His poisonous view of the government appears well out on the extreme—until you see what some people close to the center of power are saying these days.

“America is teetering towards tyranny,” Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina told the Conservative Political Action Conference last month. He accused the governing Democrats of peddling socialist policies “that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries all over the world.”

Republicans have been branding Democratic policies as some form of socialism for generations, par for the course.

But tyranny? America has real issues with that—it violently overthrew that enemy at the start.

    Someone telling the truth = a leftist murderer?

    Great job, AP.

    Well, this maybe a bit off topic but read this quote:

    Here is the Bill Gates quote at a TED gathering:

    “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”

    WTF?

    Bill Gates just in public admitted he is part of a master plan which will murder 20 times the people that Hitler and Stalin exterminated combined.
    This is criminal. This is Dr. Mengele on a world scale injecting poisons into people, experimenting on people, exterminating people all in the name of “medicine”.

    You quoted Jim DeMint, “America is teetering towards tyranny”.

    Contrary to your opinion, DeMint’s correct, what do you think Obama-Care is all about? Ever hear the punchline, ” we’re from the Government and we’re here to help”.

    And then you wrote, “But tyranny? America has real issues with that—it violently overthrew that enemy at the start.”

    As if tyranny no longer exits and or defeated once it never comes back?

    Tyranny never goes away, because for some people it’s their life-blood, as it is for all the Leftists in American politics today that you so admire.

    Yeah, we know. :gun: :evil:

    Sincerely, mike3481

      mike3481,

      That symbol above your name looks like my Springfield XD.

      Hey, Jim DeMint is the ONLY GOP national politician I trust outside of Sarah.

      Those two are solid.

    Just saying. :wink:

    AP formally:
    Telegrafnoje Agentstvo Sovietskovo Soïuza,(TASS),
    is on top of the story as usual.

    Tyranny is never tyranny when you’re at the handle end of the whip. These mental midgets of the left will only know tyranny when their masters are fully in control of all and they begin applying the whips to these traitors.

    It’s too bad real history is not taught in schools anymore; or maybe the just skipped 5th period history. All dictators will dispose (murder) those who helped them rise to power – Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Uncle Jo Stalin are just a few of a long list of tyrants who killed their immediate supporter first and then started murdering anyone who might appear to be a threat.

    How blind is blind when the left talks about tyranny? It’s like the old axiom “Pot calling the kettle black”. These people are absolutely without a clue and reason when it comes to tyranny. They have the ability to morph from benevolent liberal into murderous tyrant when the occasion dictates. This mental defect is part and parcel to their formative years where parents, teachers and peers downplay or justify bad behavior or outright criminal activities as “Everyone else does it” or “They are just kids having fun”.

    The Satanic left of this country has been breeding and raising these little monsters for about 40 years now. We are truly in trouble in this country.

    Jim DeMint is one of the few actual patriots in our government…We would do well to put this man in charge versus the ass clown we have now…

    • richwill

      Agreed.

  • Bill R.

    Dear LAT,
    I think you forgot to put in the part where the guy was an actual registered DEMOCRAT.

  • Bill R.

    Dear AP,
    Ditto for the above.

  • GarandFan

    Woodward and Sullivan may want to go back to J-school and bone up on that class about “facts”. Like the FACT that Bedell was a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT.

    But then, it wouldn’t fit that leftest MSM mantra, would it?

  • sifty

    If someone at AP is stupid enough to believe it, it has to be true. :roll:

    The shooter could have been wearing an Obama hopenchange T-shirt and matching straight-jacket and the AP would say he was a Republican.

    Tyranny/Communism/Filthy Hippies/Liberals is like a case of the crabs. Once they take hold it is tough to get rid of them.

    Nobody wants to admit they were stupid enough to catch it in the first place.

    Tyranny yes! It is called the tyranny of the majority and that is the fundamental tenet of the Democrat party! It is today, it was after reconstruction, it was in the Jim Crow era, the Democrats are the party of tyranny!
