A Google Search Tells A Partisan Story: 'Liberal Dead Cat Arkansas'

www.washingtonpost.com:

Many local Arkansas outlets have picked up the story, as have the Huffington Post, CBS News, and Gawker, among other broader platforms.

Yet the nation’s conservative media machine hasn’t yet jumped on it, according to Google News. FoxNews.com, for instance, just posted a wire piece on it, about a day after the story broke.

Whatever your political affiliation, the cat-killing WITH A MESSAGE is a real act of political terrorism. What is telling is that the news outlets affiliated with the man's political opponents turn their heads and are silent. That is known as tacit approval.

Cat killing falls along partisan lines? So liberals are against cat killing and cons are for it? How sick and twisted is that?

To offen we have seen in cases such as this the culprit had motives other then political in nature,people will do the darndest things to cover up a simple mistake.

Well, that makes it all better, doesn't it?

[eyeroll]

And besides, you're ignoring the point of the article - that conservative "news" sources pick and choose their coverage for political reasons.

The GOT crowd don't even care about people, how do you expect them to have sympathy for a cat.

Its almost always a right-wing froot loop that takes out his/her frustration on people and/or animals.

Why is that? Is it because these people simply cannot stand the idea that people and laws are in place that they despise? It certainly looks that way.

FOX News does not help the situation. These nuts have gotten so used to having a mediium that blows their own crazy viewpoint back in their faces that they can't handle it when outside sources that disagree with them filters through the gauze of craziness.

It's proably a good thing Faux didn't report much on this story, then. It would only serve to create copycat crimes by their "viewers".

Is anyone really surprised? Conservatism has degraded into a rabble of extremists that has long seen their political opponents as "not real Americans." Now they're not seeing us as people.

Now why would anyone seriously expect the right to talk about this story??? But I am surprised that PETA or the ASPCA haven't stepped in to call more attention to this story.

Well, because its an act of political violence in a Post 9/11 world. But I guess it can't possibly be as important as the President's Birth Certificates, or the whereabouts of pretty missing white girls.

PETA is offering a reward.

There's no accountability in this country any more. The talking heads on both sides propel the negativety with out a thought for consequences. One side in particular.

Has anyone seen a report of this crime on MSNBC? PBS? BBC?

Yep! MSNBC!

Both sides of the political spectrum have their psychos. Just like the person who shot Gabby, this person is criminally insane.

Yeah, you're right. I see stories ALL THE TIME about liberals being violent toward Conservatives. I mean the media is practically awash with accounts of prominent Democrats suggesting 7th amendment solutions if they don't win campaigns, and don't get me started on all the dogs that Democrats have killed. Dems and Republicans are PRACTICALLY THE SAME PEOPLE!

Set aside the monstrous animal cruelty, this was a death threat against someone for thier political views. For right wing media to shrug their shoulders and give a "meh" is despicible and captures a key reason I dumped the republicans decades ago when they started to morph from political party to hate group.

Only a republican could make like of someone killing a family pet for political purposes.

Sickos each and every one

"Only a republican..."

And then there is Amy Bishop, the Liberal who killed people.

Dude, she killed people because she was denied tenure, not because she was a liberal and they were Conservatives.
