Liberal media pundits are turning themselves inside out blaming everyone to the right of Joseph Stalin, just as they did after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Keith Olbermann attacked everyone at Fox News, and demanded Beck apologize for his rhetoric.

A reporter at CNN laid the blame at Sarah Palin for rhetoric that “allowed this kind of thing to happen.”
