David Shuster Tweet: It's Far, Far, Far Too Early to Assign a Political Motiation to the Guy Who Killed the Pro-Life Activist

Caught by Andy Levy, thanks to TopSecretK9.

It's true. MSNBC has always been scrupulously fair about assigning motivations to people.

No 3pm Update on Twitter, As He Promised: Not on Twitter, at least. Who knows, maybe he said something elsewhere.

Too early, still, David?

As to the reason for the killing of pro-life activist Jim Pouillon, Harlan Drake has told police that he was “offended” by Pouillon’s anti-abortion messages. Neighbors of Jim Pouillon say that he was a quiet man in recent years but his checkered past was a result of his boisterous protests. They have commented that some might not have agreed with his message or his graphic displays of aborted fetus’ on his protest signs but he was quiet man in his older age.

And check it out -- he really is one of those dumb, ugly, uneducated white hicks with guns we hear so very much about of late:

Wrong partisan leaning, though. We need to understand the "context" for this man's justifiable political homicide.
