Colorado Shooter Wasn't in the Tea Party

Glenn Beck, Arianna Huffington, and Tom Tancredo have already chastised ABC for broadcasting what turned out to be a mistaken suggestion that a mass murder was committed by a Tea Partier:

Correspondents say the shooter, who is not a Tea Partier, was known to be a Batman fan--suspicious, I would think, in an adult?--who got into dressing up as "The Joker," the villain character. He was also "in the process of withdrawing" from college. So far nobody's mentioned whether he had received psychiatric treatment for any "depression" that might have been associated with having to leave school.
