Remember the horrific shooting in Tucson, Arizona in which several were killed and Congresswoman Gabbie Giffords was shot in the head? The media did its best to blame the shooting on Sarah Palin because her PAC “targeted” Giffords as a Democrat to defeat.

Sarah Palin’s ‘Crosshairs’ Ad Dominates Gabrielle Giffords Debate
Not to mention that many liberal media personalities assumed a tea party culprit by default for everything from the Denver movie theater shooting to the Boston Marathon bombing.
Actor Kevin Sorbo noted the hypocrisy today.

As it almost always is, the story here is the left and their media allies refusing to hold themselves to the same standard. If Sarah Palin was an issue for them in Gifford’s shooting, how is the string of false media narratives and provocative language by the likes of Al Sharpton and his cronies not an issue in the murder of these two police officers?
