How the Democrats Flubbed San Bernardino
• thedailybeast.comHas there ever been a better example of liberal overreach than the coverage that followed the shooting in San Bernardino? It started in the immediate aftermath of the attack with Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, who said: "Yo GOP, kinda hard to talk about 'keeping people safe' when your peeps are shooting up America," and the numerous attempts at "prayer shaming" anyone who offered their "thoughts and prayers" in the wake of the horrific event.
Without waiting to learn the actual facts (which turned out to be that the assailants were radicalized Muslims), Moulitsas didn't just assume the shooters were Republicans; he also sought to score shameless political points.
Usually a rather marginal figure, Moulitsas set the tone for the next few days. Comparisons between the NRA and ISIS abounded, and the ubiquity of the "prayer shaming" that took place makes one wonder whether this wasn't some sort of coordinated effort.
