I just watched it and she (Amanpour) simply posed a question asking if the political atmosphere is similar in regards to assassination attempts.Link
This has no text, it's a video.
The MSM types just can't stop this insanity, trying to tie some more things in with the Gifford murder attempt. :roll: :doh
That doesn't make any sense. Loughner isn't a communist, nor a muslim.
I'm guessing it makes "sense" to liberals/leftists........somehow?
Hey, another member of the media who can barely understand history. How unpredictable!
Good God, woman, the 1960s were far worse in terms of domestic unrest.
She was asking about political climate and there was nothing partisan or baiting in the question or the answer. In reality there is a similarity in that random nuts with mental issues target politicians with assassination attempts. Just like a hacks on the right tried to blame Palin ( and trust me I have no respect for her) a lie is a lie.
However the hacks like Breibart or Olberman (right and left examples) will try to make something where there is nothing.
Briebart is a hack ...plain and simple ... they exist on both sides and he is a prime example.

Journalism has died.
This is what really blows my mind.
Do people really not remember what happened in the 60's and 70's? They made this **** look like, well, like a tea party.
She said both historical events and the political climate, linking them in similarity. The clip was only 44 seconds long, but this is bloody obvious.

A hack calls out another actual journalist who asked an open ended question?
I'm sorry but I did see it as partisan. However, as a conservative, I'm somewhat sensitive to being blamed for the arizona shooting.
And again, that point was absolutely ridiculous as well. You had the awful events surrounding a bourgeoning Civil Rights Movement, a President assassinated, a divisive Black power leader assassinated, race riots, college campus sit-ins and violent demonstrations, peaceful and violent war protests galore, King's assassination, RFK's assassination, the DNC of 1968, and the developing Weathermen Underground. You cannot seriously tell me this is anything like that with a straight face. For a former Democratic Presidential candidate in the 1960s and 1970s, he referred to 1968 as something like "that damn year".
Gee....how did all that bad stuff happen without talk radio, fox news, the tea party, sarah palin, or glenn beck?
That was what came out of the Amanapour interview .... whatever the political climate there are always random insane people who do not represent any organized group.
The only problem with your argument is that neither Oswald, nor Sirhan were, "random insane people". Sirhan stated that he killed RFK, "for his country". There are several of Sirhan's journal entries that confirm that.
Correction: Sirhan isn't a Muslim. He is a Christian Palestinian.
Yes, the nuts all think they are doing it for their country.
They are random as they did not actually represent any organized political group. That was the point that was made by Smith and and Amanapour regarding this latest assassination attempt.
She did not state historical events ... she said the political climate. That was a fair question. Notice Breibart had to cut the answer short.
Could you ever reference Breibart as a journalist who is fair and balanced with a straight face?
