Rush Limbaugh is criticizing the response of the Democratic Party and the media to the Tucson Safeway massacre saying the event has been used to further political interests.
“The left, including the media, cannot accept the reality of a madman slaughtering innocent people. It cannot be ‘individual responsibility’ -- they reject that concept anyway,” Limbaugh said on his radio show.
He touts conservatives as the ones who are looking at the facts in the shooting that killed several and put congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition this weekend.
Giffords has since recovered after extensive surgery and is able to respond to simple commands.
“We see the reality that Utopia cannot exist and our thoughts and emotions focus on the events, we do not seek to find a deeper meaning to it, we are about truth, which is why we look specifically at evidence and facts,” Limbaugh said.
“We don’t look at dreams, we, conservatives, pursue the truth.”
Limbaugh stated the media would not be focusing on Gifford’s as much if she were a Republican.
“Let’s say that the dead individual happened to be a Democrat Judge, and the wounded individual is a Republican Member of Congress,” Limbaugh said.
“Who do you think the media would be focused on in that incident? It’s a rhetorical question, but we have the answer to it.”
