Mission Accomplished, Keith Olbermann: Eric J. Fuller Proves That Violent, Incivil Talk Animates Lefties Towards Violence

It would be shocking if it weren't predictable. The left's dearly-held thesis -- that hot political talk and demonization of opponents can induce the psychologically-unwell to threaten or perpetrate violence -- has in fact been proved, utterly.

But the leftist media refuses to acknowledge this, because the proof comes in the form of demented left-winger Eric J. Fuller deranged by the leftist media-political complex's own deranged vitriol.

That's obviously not the sort of proof they were looking for. Ergo, it doesn't exist. (CNN actually does report on the incident; most other outlets embargo it.)

Isn't it time then for Matthews, Krugman, Olbermann, the NYT, etc., to stop inciting violence? I am not being snarky -- not really. This is actual evidence that they've induced someone to threaten bodily harm. Therefore, they really should stop, no?

Or do they not mind a little conservative blood on their hands?

Here's Fuller's ideology:

James Eric Fuller, 63, who was shot in the knee, had told The Post on Friday, the day before his arrest, that top Republican figures should be tortured -- and their ears severed.

"There would be torture and then an ear necklace, with [Minnesota US Rep.] Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin's ears toward the end, because they're small, female ears, and then Limbaugh, Hannity and the biggest ears of all, Cheney's, in the center," Fuller said.

Also on Friday, Fuller stopped by the home of gunman Jared Lee Loughner and told a neighbor he was going to forgive the shooter, The Associated Press said.

On Saturday, Fuller was carted away for a psychiatric exam after disrupting the town-hall meeting by taking a photo of Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries and shouting, "You're dead!"

Ah. The shooter will be forgiven, but Michelle Bachmann is to be tortured and maimed. That is keeping with the MFM's thesis.

Note that Fuller is just a lone nut acting alone (and of course it's understandable because he was shot in Tucson); there is no "larger context" to his explain his actions. No rebuke contained within his sick talk and threats to the New York Times to stop peddling unhinged lies.

No, teachable moments only seem to happen for our side. The other side, I guess, learned all it needed to know in Kindergarten.

Via DPUD (where Eddie the Bear turns the other cheek -- not, thanks to Dr. Spank.

The Internet Really Is a Self-Revelation Trap-Machine For Losers: Kratos points out this idiotic rambling from Fuller's online page:

Areas of Specialty:

I use extraordinary persuasive charisma to interest blase, apathetic, oblivious and at times hostile voters to listen to the voice of justice and consanguinity. My experiences encountering public figures and many affluent travelers in person has led me to believe that we all are to blame for George W. Bush.

What a shock, he uses a ten dollar word he apparently doesn't know the meaning of. (I suppose he might mean that his voice is one that says we're all connected by blood. But his method of connecting by blood seems a bit more literal than I'd like.)

We know Fuller was indeed politically motivated, and we know his politics. We're pretty damn sure of the TV "news" hosts he favored and the blogs he read.

So of course we're not going to talk to him.
