Welcome to the Mainstream Media, Rick. Get used to it.

There's been worse, you know. You haven't even begun to see what the liberals can/will do to you.

Recall after the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing in April 1995, there was a photograph of a fireman carrying the body of an infant.

Some leftist immediately put together an almost-identical political cartoon, showing a fireman carryng the body of an infant, looking down at it, and thinking to himself, "Damned right-wing radio." ... in an attempt to blame Rush Limbaugh etc. for the blast. It later turned out that the fireman in the original photo was in fact a conservative who never thought any such thing, and was disgusted with the leftist's fake depiction. But that part never got into the papers.

Gov. Perry, you didn't think you were dealing with decent people here, did you?

Grow up.

Fast.

TRANSLATION: I can't refute what you said, but I hate it anyway. So I'll attack the messenger instead, call you names, smear you, and hope somebody believes me instead of you.

(As I said to Gov. Perry: You don't think we're dealing with decent people here, do you?)

Yep, time to do bidness in Texas....

The Texas fertilizer plant explosion cannot be forgotten - Washington Post

When you have Greg Abbott, Atty Gen of Texas, self describe his job as “I go into the office in the morning,” I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.” one can understand a big part of the problem.

So, the plant owners doesn't report the amount of fertilizer being kept on site at a plant that hasn't been inspected since 2006, lax land-use regulations allow a school, a playground, an old folks home and houses to be placed near the plant, and Perry is upset with a cartoonist? Seriously?
