Salon Pundit: Has GOP Rhetoric Already Inspired a Terrorist Attack?

NYT: 'Angry...Seething...Almost Apocalyptic' GOP Raises 'Islamophobia'

The front page of Saturday's New York Times, next to the paper's already infamous front-page gun-control editorial, claimed that "Shootings in California Reshape the Campaigns."

At the Washington Post's Wonkblog on Wednesday, Christopher Ingraham claimed that the San Bernardino massacre, which we now know was an act of Islamic terrorism, was the "355th" mass shooting "this year." A Google search on "355th mass shooting this year" (not in quotes) indicates that the stat has become a media meme, repeated at places like the Today Show, PBS, NPR, NBCnews.com, and too many…

Nets Cheer 'Historic' NYT Gun Control Editorial; ‘Dramatic’ Front-Page

On Saturday, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to prove why the liberal media loves congratulating itself for their so-called accomplishments as the morning and evening newscasts spent nearly four minutes (without teases) cheering the “historic” decision by The New York Times to publish a “dramatic” front-page editorial chiding gun rights advocates and pushing for massive…

Evading Radical Islam at The New Yorker and the NY Daily News

One has contempt for Christians. And both think the Jihadist attack in San Bernadino by an Islamic couple is the fault of the NRA. And oh yes, one also thinks the problem in San Bernadino is Mr. and Mrs. Joe Doaks America and their shopping tastes in guns. Really. What gutless cowards at the New York Daily News and The New Yorker.

Harris-Perry Perturbed NYT Showed Malik in Hijab

They would have used a photo of her in an NRA cap, but none was available . . . Man, it's getting hard to navigate the nuanced shoals of political correctness. Now, even the ineffably sensitive New York Times has run afoul of the rules, as propounded by Melissa Harris-Perry. On her MSNBC show today, Harris-Perry griped that the Gray Lady had run a photo of Islamic terrorist killer Tafsheen Malik…
