Thats easy. Look for the next thing that can be used for political gain. I know all do it to a degree but examine a few of the recent ones.
Trayvon: While it was a tragedy that only two people had control of at the time, Democrats in Washington and the media and Hollywood have used this for the politics of race. Knowing very little about what happened you have people calling it an assassination and racist. Obama even chimed in. Very few, mostly conservative, have tried to calm things down. Racial tension plays into the liberal playbook, I dont know how anyone can deny that
Contraception: Came out of no where. Started by democrats. Dems used it and coined the phrase "War on Women". In all reality, it kind of back fired on them. American women are more concerned w/ the economy not contraception.
Arizona Shooting: Not recent but plays right in to what I was talking about. Multiple people killed, media and Democrats immediately try to pin it out the GOP and Palin. Immediately they ignore their own horrible comments and try to blame the other side and Obama chimes in who is just as guilty of speaking ill of others. Turns out, the kid that did it was nothing but an absolute lunatic. No apologies happened afterwards and the Dems picked right back up with the same or worse rhetoric they accused others of.
Any crisis that can be used will be used until they have to wait for the next one. Its a sad state of affairs, thats for sure.
