SANCHEZ: By way, here’s this- is there a tone shift in this country that was capitalized by the election of- pardon me, I said capitalized. Was there a tone in this country that was actually started with the election of our first black president that is bringing the crazies out of the woodwork, and are they being motivated to move by right-wing pronouncements, like he’s dangerous- he’s a socialist- he’s a Muslim, and he isn’t even a U.S. citizen? This is what we hear on some TV and radio outlets, which, by the way, according to our Constitution, they are entitled to what they believe and even propagate. CNN's Sanchez Again Teams Up With Media
Matters To Slam Conservatives
SANCHEZ: Here’s the real issue here: Poplawski [the murderer of the Pittsburgh police officers] may not be alone in this crazy, “they’re coming to get us” mindset. There is evidence of a gun buying panic. According to the FBI, there have been 1.2 million more requests for background checks of potential gun buyers from November to February than there in the same four months last year....Who is stirring the pot?...Who is trying to use this to get people to not trust President Obama, and more importantly, is there any truth to the fear of more restrictive gun ban? That’s what I’m going to tackle when I come back. SANCHEZ: The failing economy; the election of Barack Obama,
the nation’s first minority -- minority president; and then there’s the
garden-variety fear and hate mongering provided compliments of Fox News
night in and night out. That’s where Glenn Beck is seen night after night,
talking about doomsday, about the country coming apart, while his counterpart
Sean Hannity calls the president a socialist, and worse, implying day
in and night out that he’s trying to destroy America. Here’s an apparent
result. Americans are scarfing up guns and ammunition at an alarming rate.
Growing numbers of people appear to believe that the government wants
their weapons. |
