Scott Pelley vs. "The True Scotsman"

Jack Kemp

Steve Berman at the Resurgent had an intellectual and almost clinical psychology rebuke for CBS's Scott Pelley's vulgar, obnoxious and feral remarks about Rep. Scalise's shooting as something Scalise "had coming."

James Hodgkinson brought an SKS rifle, 7.62mm ammunition, and a list of six Republican House Freedom Caucus members to a suburban Virginia ball field. Rep. Steve Scalise brought his glove and a bat. But CBS New anchor Scott Pelley publicly pondered in his nightly newscast if Scalise’s shooting–which frankly, he was fortunate to survive–was "self-inflicted.”

 But let’s first circle back to why Pelley would ask it in the first place.

Liberals like those at CBS New can’t fathom that other liberals would embrace violence and killing. They posit what philosophy majors call the "no true Scotsman” fallacy. The left incorrectly painted Jared Loughner as a "Tea-partier” then it turns out he was a liberal, and a nutter. "Well, he had to be a nutter, because no true liberal would shoot a member of Congress.”

Then along comes Hodgkinson, who makes Loughner look like Mary Poppins. Of course, that means Hodgkinson wasn’t a liberal, "because no true liberal would do such a thing.” It had to be incited by the right’s incendiary rhetoric.
