So, how does CNN handle an active shooter situation in Colorado Springs this Friday? Why, bring in an anti-Planned Parenthood GOP Representative to attack the organization, question whether it was too early for their spokesperson to say the organization was under attack or not and demand that they apologize if they weren't. And to add insult to injury, toss in some lies about the discredited and highly edited videos that the right wing has been using to smear them:

A gunman at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado left three people dead, including a police officer, and several others injured. The standoff lasted about five hours.

While the shooter was active inside the Planned Parenthood clinic, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) went on live TV and blasted the organization. “We saw these barbaric videos, and that was something that many of us have a legitimate concern about,” Kinzinger said.

He was referring to highly-edited undercover videos that falsely claim Planned Parenthood was illegally selling body party from aborted fetuses.

Kinzinger also criticized a statement from Planned Parenthood about the incident as “very premature.” He said that, if it was later discovered the shooter was not targeting Planned Parenthood he would “fully expect an apology.” (The statement, while criticizing “extremists” for “creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country,” acknowledged that “we don’t yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack.”)

1. Well, give him credit for sticking to his Fox talking points.

I'm more annoyed with the newsbots at CNN who didn't bother to mention the "barbaric videos" were bullshit.

2. Just once I'd like to hear someone say "You're full of shit" to these clowns.

3. These right wing Fox listening Republican $hitbags HATE women.

Actually, let me clarify that: they hate independent women. They hate women
who want to make their own decisions about their lives, who dare to
compete with men for jobs, who won't sit down, shut up, get on their knees
in the bedroom and the kitchen, and cater to whatever these men want.
