Enforcers of political correctness fanned the flames in Sparkman case

It's good to see others notice:

The rush to judgment was found mostly on partisan websites but also in mainstream media outlets, which some commenters say shows that paranoia about political insurrection and violence is no longer restricted to the fringes of American politics. ...

Recent reports on right-wing groups by civil rights groups such as Southern Poverty Law Center, the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, and the Anti-Defamation League have also warned of a "toxic atmosphere of rage in America."

But the politicization of Sparkman's death, some conservative bloggers say, points to a new willingness to not only sharply disagree with opponents, but also to paint political enemies with the worst of motives. "What's uniquely disgusting about stories like this is the eagerness ... to find an ideological motive with which to bludgeon one's opponents," wrote Allahpundit on the conservative blog, Hot Air, on Sept. 24.

My only gripe is that this makes it sound like the ruling elite's Inquisition just slipped up in this case, when in fact, bludgeoning conservatives is what these people do for a living.
