‘What Kind of Idiot Makes That Kind of Statement?’: Tea Partier Falsely Linked to Colo. Killings Slams ABC

In the initial reporting of the horrifying “Dark Knight” shooting, ABC rushed to report that a Jim Holmes– a name similar to that of the alleged shooter– was a member of a local Tea Party.

“There’s a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year,” Ross said. “Now, we don’t know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it’s Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado,” Brian Ross told George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.”

The connection was wholly unverified, and ABC was forced to issue what some have deemed a “non-apology” retraction.

I think he should sue ABC and Brian Ross. It's time the msm are taught some serious lessons.

yes brian ross joins a looooonnnng list of msm reporters and talking idiots that continue to blame the tea party for everything from the drought to oil spills and of course every mass killing spree in America.

unfortunately these leftists have knee jerk reactions to everything and really have trouble thinking for themselves and not letting emotions take over. never trust a leftist.
