Most people knew this was not so, and very few people – even on the left – believe it. But the new media, which is touted often by the Right as a way to be heard, is not picky about who is heard. There are some people in both new and old media who delightedly engaged in a kind of schadenfreude, pointing fingers at anyone they disagree with politically so as to lay the blame somewhere. But the real blame isn’t someone or some political movement. The real blame here is mental illness. After all, even without looking at YouTube or MySpace or his raving letter, anyone can tell you that shooting a 9 year old child isn’t a part of any sane person’s political activism. Christina-Taylor Green did nothing except be a bright, happy child.
