Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter Gives Obama Advice on Exploiting Tucson Tragedy for Political Gain
In light of all existing evidence, any attempt to blame “heated political rhetoric” for Saturday's shooting in Tucson is simply a lie. While most reporters are done peddling the lie that Sarah Palin caused the Tucson massacre, they've now moved on to this more nuanced lie.
