Roy, Thanks for posting that. I didn't think 74 sounded right.

I didn't check the tweets to see if any overlapped, but there were 30+ rebuttal tweets to that list of 74.

Lies --> Blatant Lies --> Statistics :lol:

You know why there are so many school shootings?
Because it's a target rich environment with high emotional impact and little to zero deterrents or defensive capabilities.

It's THAT simple.

Well shoot, you can't be a liberal unless you're a liar because the truth always gets in the way of your agenda.

Even CNN has debunked their claims. They aren't just playing fast and loose with the truth, they are outright lying. But I guess that's what you have to resort to when the facts aren't on your side.

So, assuming (and that is a big assumption) that the analysis from CNN is correct, it is actually 15 incidents, not 74. I'm somewhat surprised that CNN made the analysis they did. Perhaps the data was so compelling they figured they would go ahead and run with it....

I think many are realizing they need to create some separation from the out and out liars so they can retain at least some credibility among their target audience. The lying is so egregious and transparent even the progressive media is realizing they shouldn't stay too closely tied to them.
