Ft. Hood vs Tucson: Same thing only different?

When Nidal Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood, killing 13 and wounding many more of his fellow soldiers while shouting "Allah Akbar", the liberal media pronounced it was not Muslim extremism. No, they earnestly cautioned us,do not jump to conclusions that his recent online postings stating that the cause is "to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers" had anything to do with his shooting rampage. You silly right wing conservatives, they scolded. Nidal Hasan was just an unstable, psychotic gunman acting alone. Nothing what-so-ever to do with Islam.

But, now after Jared Loughner opened fire in Tucson last week killing 6 and wounding 13 others,  they tell us that obviously he was incited by right wing extremists such as Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Tea Party activists, and pretty much anyone else who believes in the Constitution. They shake their heads and wag their fingers and say, "See? We told you these conservatives are dangerous people."
