Wherein we see the next motive for a Unitarian shooting, or some other anti-liberal horror.
MSNBC starts a new meme for every crazed right winger to latch on to this morning, calling the bomber a liberal in a headline linked to an article by the NYT. This will be endlessly talked about in the 24 hour news cycle, and if folks don't get ahead of it, it will be seriously destructive.
We don't know he was a liberal. What we know is that he was radicalized by crazed right wing religious fundamentalism. Liberalism rejects that sort of fundamentalism - it's a quality of the right, not the left. However, for years, the right has done a frightening job of conflating the left with radical Islam.
This isn't something we can simply let slide by. Something has to be done. I strongly suggest writing to the Ombudsman about this over at MSNBC. Make phone calls. Write e-mails and send faxes. This sort of reporting is going to get someone killed.
