Now we know -- It was Keith Olbermann's fault

In the New York Time's profile of the Arizona shooter, we have now learned that he was someone who rabidly hated George W. Bush. In other words, to the extent that he was politically motivated it was more likely from Keith Olbermann's venom spewed on MSNBC rather than Sarah Palin's map. Does anyone think that MSNBC will now devote round the clock coverage to the effect that their loony left hosts have on the public discourse?

The truth is that this ridiculous effort by the media to push "togetherness" is nothing more than a fad. There are deep differences between the governing philosophies of the GOP and the Democrats. Those are not differences that can be papered over. The best analogy is that the country has come to a fork in the road. We either take the fork to the right or the one to the left. If we compromise and go straight we hit a tree. Singing Kumbaya but hitting a tree is not a good strategy.
