a 24 year old PHD student in neuroscience, a medical student, NOT a teaparty member as ABC’s George Staphanopolus and Brian Ross stated!
INACCURATE INFORMATION AGAIN: TRYING TO PORTRAY the REPUBLICAN/Tea Party as violent. It’s Occupy Wallstreet and democrats who trash property, assault other Occupiers.
Something is seriously wrong with the media when they SEEK to negatively portray the republicans and the tea party. This is again, shades of the shooting in AZ (Gabby Giffords) where AGAIN the media sought to blame the teaparty and the republicans! When it was a democrat who did the shooting.
Purportedly, the shooter is from San Diego, his mother stated: “They’ve got the right person.
