As has been asked on this board, how will the regime leverage the murder?

David Frum, one time speechwriter for Bush 43, now writing for the Atlantic, was on Amanpour tonight. He talked about the guilt by association gambit, to use the murder to make it impossible for Democrats to raise campaign money, for the midterms, next year. Guilt by association is a long practiced technique at Fox Noise. I have talked, before, about how Sean Hannity used Jeremiah Wright to connect Obama to Louis Farrakhan's most inflammatory comments about white people, to imply that Obama hated white people. Frum said words to the effect "they will try to connect Robinson to the extreme left, then connect the extreme left to the mainstream Democratic party, to choke off Democratic fund raising".

Responding to a question about Patel's comments wrt the case, Frum said "why would I believe anything Patel says?"
