The murderer who went on a killing rampage at the University of Alabama was known to be a fanatical Obama supporter.

Police in Huntsville, Alabama charged Amy Bishop, 44, with capital murder after she allegedly opened fire on six colleagues at a faculty meeting Friday, killing three.

The Boston Herald reports that Bishop was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama "to the point of being off-putting." This is a Boston newspaper, so just how into Obama must this woman have been?

The title of this post is a simulation of what the headlines would have screamed had she been a member of the Tea Party movement. Simply replace "Obama Fan" with "Tea Party" and President Obama's name with Christianity, Glenn Beck or conservatives in general, and you have a pretty good idea as to how this ghastly tragedy would be exploited.

It turns out that, typical of leftists, she exhibited an overinflated sense of self worth. The Boston Herald reports:

"There have been revelations since the shooting that she killed her brother with a shotgun in Braintree, Mass., in 1986 but was never charged because police said it was an accident, and that she and her husband were scrutinized in 1993 after someone sent pipe bombs to a Harvard professor she worked with. The bombs did not go off and no one was ever charged in that case either.

In 2002, Bishop was charged with assault, battery and disorderly conduct after a tirade at the International House of Pancakes in Peabody, Mass. Peabody police Capt. Dennis Bonaiuto said Bishop became incensed when she found out another woman had received the restaurant’s last booster seat. Bishop punched the frightened mother in her head while shouting, "I am Dr. Amy Bishop." When police questioned Bishop, she claimed to be the victim, the report stated."

All of this is deeply disturbing, but so is the utter silence of the left-wing, "mainstream" media regarding her obsession with Obama and left-wing, "progressive" politics.

Clearly Mr. Obama is absolutely innocent of any involvement in this tragic attack. However, it is inconceivable that the same incident if perpetrated by an evangelical Christian, a conservative or a right-to-life demonstrator would be treated in the same manner.

Calls would be made by Rahm Emmanuel and Michelle Obama to limit free speech, silence Fox News and license churches. The connection to the criminal's faith/politics would be repeated like a mantra by Katie Couric, Keith Olbermann and every Leftist newspaper in the country.

Remember how the media uses double standards the next time some liberal attempts to moan about "right wing" talk radio, Glenn Beck or the "threat" that conservatives pose to the republic
