As most that follow politics know, soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Paul was attacked early Friday morning, resulting in hospitalization and brain surgery after taking a hammer to the head by the assailant, 42 year old David DePape.
Those are the facts.
If those facts seem to be awful thin it is because a number of things were instantly reported about the attack, with the media claiming almost immediately that DePape was a “right-winger,” extremist, who ran two blog sites with conspiracy and “right-wing” rhetoric, all suggesting the attack was politically motivated, until more information was revealed.
