" It&amp;#039;s really remarkable how quickly things can turn. A nutball takes a potshot at the White House, and then he gets busted in Pennsylvania. Authorities suspect Ortega-Hernandez had been in the area for weeks, coming back and forth to the Washington Mall. Before the shooting, he was detained by local police at an abandoned house. U.S. Park police say Ortega may have spent time with Occupy D.C. protesters.  &amp;quot;Authorities suspect...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;May have spent time...&amp;quot; (Ed. Note: He also &amp;quot;spent time&amp;quot; with the local police. Doesn&amp;#039;t make him a cop.) From this, Ben Smith, in an attempt not to react with guilt by association, reacts with guilt by association. And this is just arrant knavery: The mirror-image campaigns to tar the Tea Party and the &amp;quot;Occupy&amp;quot; movement are based, in no small part, on guilt by association. But nobody anywhere near the Tea Party ever took a shot at the White House. 1) What &amp;quot;mirror-image campaigns&amp;quot;? Can Smith find an entire international news operation that dedicated itself to tar the Tea Party? Can he find a major metropolitan daily that took it upon itself to demolish the Tea Party every single day on its garish front page? 2) No. They just settled for taking shots at members of Congress. And, luckily, the cops caught some of them in the act. And, well, you know. Knock this shit off, please. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
