Salon, Guardian blame “right-wing” for Paris jihad attacks
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 11/14/15 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 11/14/2015 3:31:21 AM PST by markomalley

Outrageous, but not surprising. The enemedia is aligned with the jihad force. As the jihad heats up in the West, the media is becoming more clumsy and desperate in its attempts to deflect attention away from the jihad and back to its favorite bogeyman, “right-wing extremists.” Now, even when the evidence of Islamic jihad responsibility is everywhere, as it is with the Paris attacks, “journalists” still find ways to put the blame on the “right-wing” that they hate far more than they do bloodthirsty jihadis, whom they don’t dislike at all.

Paris jihad

“Salon: Paris jihad massacre shows that ‘right-wing’ needs to ‘moderate their rhetoric,” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, November 14, 2015:

The American Left is beyond parody. Apparently Salon would have us believe that the Paris jihad massacre happened because “the right wing media” criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. Islamic jihad? Warfare against unbelievers? The Islamic State’s stated imperative to murder French civilians? Only greasy Islamophobes take such things seriously: everyone knows Fox News and Ben Carson are the real culprits!

“And so the hate speech begins: Let Paris be the end of the right’s violent language toward activists,” by Chauncey DeVega, Salon, November 13, 2015:

In a still developing situation, the city of Paris, France, is under attack by terrorists armed with guns and explosives. Many dozens of people have been killed. A still undetermined number of people have been wounded. The terrorists took dozens of hostages in a concert hall. French police and military forces have been deployed. There is mayhem and blood in the streets of Paris….

In the United States, the right-wing media and movement conservatives have for decades consistently used eliminationist and other violent rhetoric to describe liberals, progressives and other people with whom they disagree. As was seen in the recent attacks on a Charleston-area black church, and other violence by right-wing anti-government militias, such rhetoric does not float in the ether of the public discourse, harmless and unacknowledged. No, it does in fact lead to action.

In recent months, the right-wing media has used language such as “terrorism” and “violent,” or that the latter is “targeting police for murder” to describe the Black Lives Matter movement. Such bombastic and ugly screeds–which are wholly unfounded, with no basis in empirical reality–have also been used by right-wing opinion leaders to describe the African-American students who are fighting against racism at Yale and the University of Missouri….

Real terrorists have killed people in the streets of Paris. The right-wing media needs to take note of that fact and moderate their rhetoric and abusive language accordingly.

Given the American right-wing’s casual habit of using violent language to describe their foes, and to gin up fear and anxiety among the movement conservative base, the Fox News’ right-wing echo chamber and its elites should be ashamed given the death and destruction that terrorism actually reaps in practice.

And from The Guardian:

Guardian: After Paris jihad, ‘far-right groups may well fuel more hatred,'” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, November 14, 2015:

The Guardian doesn’t worry about the Islamic State presence in France. It isn’t concerned about how many Islamic State sympathizers are living in France now. It couldn’t care less how many more jihadis will enter France via the refugee crisis. No, the Guardian is only concerned about the sole matter that worries the Western intelligentsia: will “far-right groups” exploit this jihad massacre to “fuel more hatred”? I.e., will those who believe in free societies start calling attention to the jihad threat again?

“Paris attacks leave France in trauma, fearing for the future,” by Natalie Nougayrède, Guardian, November 13, 2015:

…Muslims in France will now increasingly fear being associated with fanaticism and terror. Populist, far-right groups may well fuel more hatred. After Charlie Hebdo, thousands of French soldiers were dispatched across the country to secure key installations, schools, train stations, institutions….

Yeah, you can go and blame religious frauds from 1,300 years ago with hyped violence woven into the character of the scheme. Nor can you blame mostly failed young men with no intelligence, no real job future, and unwisely being led by fraudulent religious leaders.

And women who are raped are asking for it right Salon?

And pedophiles only target children who really love them, right Salon?

Those are the type of excuses offered in this editorial

The left-wing media is justifying and enabling terrorist attacks because it wants the jihadis to destroy western civilization.

Sweden turns into rape capital, riots in Europe, more crime, more welfare, more terrorism and people die.

None of that with women being raped, kids being raped, people butchered in the streets cares to the far left. They only see the world through their narrow minded eyes.

They’re just sick individuals who only care on what they want , regardless of how many die or are raped

The left is following the “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” line.

The left hates Islam. In reality, they never want to be under an Islamic law type system. For now, they're useful to them in helping them destroy the west. The left believes, erroneously, that after they work together to destroy the west, and mission accomplished, they can then put the lid on Jihad

Act 1: Islamo-fascists attack and kill innocent civilians somewhere in the world.
Act 2: conservatives comment on Islamo-fascists murdering innocent civilians
Act 3: liberals blame conservatives for the violence and and declare conservatives guilty of the murders by noticing violent Muslims.

Guarantee majority are spoiled brats or ex hippies who live nowhere NEAR a muslim infested town.

They live in Gentrified neighborhoods, which means they kicked out the blacks, and cry from their perch for the poor black and muslim souls.

i HATE Them.

Dont want them as fellow citizens.

Would have no problem with us taking them out if they went to side with jihadis.

I should start a “human shield” movement on that website and see how many i can get to go.

The left would rather be enslaved by Muslims than see Christianity and individual freedoms flourish.

THAT is how much they hate you.

Met and have known a bunch of people like that when I worked up north in Boston and NY City, mainly Chappaqua county.

They all preach diversity , tolerance, and coexist, and yet they are anything but.

They live in their white, ultra while well to do big house communities, they only associate with a minority at work who is in the same class and job position, can’t associate with the lower classes..

I hate them, and if they want that then go and live in minority places, if they want to help the poor then volunteer at homeless places and see it first hand instead of just handing out a few dollars making themselves feel good. Their kids at the spoiled brats we now see acting out across the country demanding freebies , because they have always been handed freebies off mother and father.

Reason mother and father did that is because they never raised their kids, never spent much time with their kids because going to work and saying look at my top of the line Lexus was more important than actually being there for the kid and driving a Toyota which in itself means Lexus and Toyota is the same , but one is more expensive.
