Scroll down for update debunking MSM “right-wing” spin… A nutball shot two security guards at a Pentagon-area Metro station in D.C. yesterday. As Patterico reports, he hated Bush and littered the Internet with 9/11 Truther rants. But just as I passed on playing the blame game with the global warmicides earlier this week, I’m not playing MSNBC/NYTimes-style “gotcha” with this one, either. I’m with Zombie: Now, just for a moment, let’s set aside the false guilt-by-association game everyone’s always playing. We all know that John Patrick Bedell and Joseph Stack are basically insane, plain and simple — as are any number of similar whackjobs who periodically go loco and erupt into violence.

By the MSM’s standards, liberals and Muslims are incapable of terrorist acts.
I think investigators haven’t dug enough into the background of these terrorists. If they had it’s entirely likely they’d find MSM people sponsoring them. Fur Shur it’s an MSM employee/stringer who burned Sarah Palin’s former church in Alaska. Since then we’ve had a string of these Leftwingtards shooting up military bases, the Holocaust museum, bombing IRS offices from the air, and now just shooting down people at the entrance to the Pentagon.
What do you want to bet his favorite show was Olbermann’s?
I disagree with her and Zombie on this. Democrats need to take the hit when leftists wackos become serial killers, assassins, vile turncoats, etc. Because such insane people are “guilty, but insane”, yet are attracted to the Democrat party and the political left.
Democrats and liberals *always* ping on Republicans and conservatives when the much less common fruitcakes embrace some of our ideas. So fair is fair.
If you look at the list of presidential assassins and attempted assassins, you will find that they are exclusively left wing, anarchist, or insane. So President Obama has much more to be personally afraid of from the people that surround him than from the political opposition. Even his own close followers were deathly afraid that the Clintons would try and have him killed.
If you look at the long list of serial killers, they profoundly lean towards the left wing, politically. Only one or two were ever associated with the right wing.
And we are not too far from the 1960s, when the SDS, the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, and other such violent left wing organizations, went on violent crime sprees.
So yes, do not give the Democrats a pass on any of this. If their ideas weren’t so radical, they wouldn’t attract as many Moonbats and dangerous killers.
I agree with you also. Why let the left get away with framing the picture whenever they think can get away with it, by characterising violent nutjobs as from the right, and even trying to smear the Tea Party as such, and then going dark whenever (the usual scenario) the violent nutjob is from the left? What impression will the population at large get from that? Just the one the media wing of the rat party wants them to get. We can’t “be above” allowing them to frame the picture.
They loudly blame the Right when their own do these things, too. Scott is a Tea Party activist in the GCM and I suppose this Bedell guy was, too. Voters all become Democrats when they die. Crazies become instant Right Wingers when they shoot people or blow something up, no matter what their beliefs in life.
