As with moonbat mass murderer Jared Loughner, it didn't take the "mainstream" media long to try linking James Holmes to the Tea Party. It also didn't take long for their eagerness to blow up in ABC propagandists' faces:
ABC News and Brian Ross are apologizing for an "incorrect" report that James Holmes, the suspect in the Colorado theater shooting, may have had connections to the Tea Party.
"An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect," ABC News said in a statement. "ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted."
James Holmes being a common name, ABC quickly discovered Aurora Tea Partier James Michael Holmes, but was less quick to discover that the 52-year-old Hispanic conservative is not the 24-year-old Caucasian maniac who shot up the Century 16.
Even Gawker is disgusted by this easily predictable attempt to smear patriots:
When there's breaking news, especially about terrorism and national security, ABC News' Brian Ross is there. And under no circumstances should you listen to anything he says. His latest breathtakingly reckless report: Some Tea Party guy on the internet has the same name as theDark Knight Rises shooter, so, you know, they have the same name. So there you go. Tea Party.
Equally predictable were the immediate attempts by liberal authoritarians Michael Bloomberg and Piers Morgan to exploit the bloodshed to push for greater gun restrictions, so that future victims may be even more helpless. Liberal establishmentarians wouldn't want any law-abiding citizens behaving like Samuel Williams:
