Lefties Mourn Conservatives who did Not Rush to Judgment without Facts on Charleston Shootings

Lots of lefty-pundits seem rather miffed that conservatives did not rush to judgement and proclaim that the Charleston shootings were racially motivated. I mean, come on, CNN was proclaiming it both "racist" and "terrorist" minutes after they started reporting on it.

Aurin Squire. at Talking Points Memo, for example: 

• On Wednesday night, South Carolina’s governor Nikki Haley trotted out a boilerplate statement, calling the shooting a “senseless tragedy.” One could excuse this choice of words as a rushed assumption issued in real time, but as more and more details about Dylann Roof surfaced, conservatives refused to face the music. One by one, politicians and pundits acted like this terrorist act was one of life’s great unsolvable mysteries.
  “We don't know the motivation of the person who did it," Rudy Guiliani said yesterday. "Maybe he hates Christian churches. Maybe he hates black churches or he's gonna go find another one. Who knows."

And then again:

•  We don't know the motivation of the person who did it," Rudy Guiliani said yesterday. "Maybe he hates Christian churches. Maybe he hates black churches or he's gonna go find another one. Who knows." Donald Trump, in a tweet yesterday, said the crime was “incomprehensible.” Last night, a Wall Street Journal columnist wrote: "What causes young men such as Dylann Roof to erupt in homicidal rage, whatever their motivation, is a problem that defies explanation beyond the reality that evil still stalks humanity. It is no small solace that in committing such an act today, he stands alone."
  
  

The fact of the matter is that we really weren't certain until today because the shooter basically said he was racially motivated. Lefties pointed to a picture of the shooter with a "Confederate Flag" on the license plate, and a picture from  social media which showed the shooter with a white supremacist patch on his coat. The latter pic was a clue, the former was irrelevant and only proved he posed next to a car with a Confederate flag license plate. Only race-baiters think the Confederate flag is racist. Sensible people know it's just a part of southern history. 

The lefty-pundits don't seem to learn. They did a rush to judgement on Ferguson and Baltimore and were so wrong about so many things and even burned part of a city based on false narratives. Still, they figure if they continue they are bound to get something right. 

Squire: The problem with America is the old white people (paraphrase mine)

Not really new by any means, but continuing the theme of how great Obama has been and how racist those cops were in Ferguson, writer Aurin Squire blames America's ills on the older white Americans.

And. of course, he says it all started to be clear when Obama was elected.

• The most dangerous uprising that's threatening America's stability isn't black protests in places like Ferguson or Baltimore. It's taking place among an aging white majority that is losing its bearing on reality and destroying the gears of government, media and public welfare. At its center is an inexplicable, illogical and dangerous fear that some sociologists are now defining as white fragility. I have witnessed this strange phenomenon intensifying over the last several years, but I first became aware of it immediately after the election of Barack Obama.
