Three Pittsburgh Policemen Are Dead Because of Right Wing Lies

A gunman in Pittsburgh, “opened fire on officers responding to a domestic disturbance call Saturday, killing three of them.” A friend of the gunman said he feared “the Obama gun ban that’s on the way” and “didn’t like our rights being infringed upon.”
Obama has never, ever advocated banning guns. But, in an attempt to scare people about liberals and Democrats, the right has spread the myth that he has. Three policemen are dead tonight because of lies from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
I fear this is just the beginning of the killing that will grow out of the hate speech coming from the right.
UPDATE: For example, here are Glenn Beck and the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre just over two weeks ago in a segment captioned, Constitution Under Attack, during which they, “worked themselves into a fine frenzy over President Obama’s eeeeevil plans for taking away Americans’ guns…”
