The sad events in SC, take two

[sincere]

Urghh I am so mad about the Charleston shooting -- I already ranted about it a little bit on daily_liberal this morning, so I feel like I shouldn't add a second rant, but during the 15 minutes I was home this evening I heard Fox News doing their dance of bullshit, covering all the stereotypical talking points:

• It isn't a pattern, it's just a single isolated incident!


• He's just a kid! Therefore it's not his fault.


• He was probably mentally ill! You know, with voices in his head! Therefore it's not his fault.


• This is mysterious and no one can explain why it happened! Therefore it's not society's fault.


• Racism was definitely not a factor.

Haaaate

The "best" part? Today he admitted to the police he wanted to start a race war. Wonder how that's going to be spun.
