USA Today Editorial Misses Some Facts

While we agree with the argument of a recent USA Today argument that no one should bring guns to a town hall meeting or other political event, we find it disturbing that America’s paper failed to point out that the gun protester in Arizona was actually put up to the stunt by a local shock jock. In fairness, this point has been ignored by most of the mainstream media, and only The Washington Times bothered to address this. The irony is that MSNBC made a big deal out of the AR-15 carrying man – and labeled those who carried guns as racists (despite the fact that the man in question was black) – and now USA Today references the incident without mentioning that it has come out that it was a purposely staged event.
