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….

Salon and The Guardian are, of course, full of sh*t.

No surprise here as they seek out and find a new low.

That’s right; they are openly collaborating with them. MSNBC last night really dragged @ss because they didn’t want to state the obvious - that these attackers were Muslims. When others reported that one guy admitted he was from ISIS, and witnesses mentioned the Muslim “Banzai!” (Allahu Akbar), they just weren’t interested.

There is nothing stopping these killers from doing the same here - and it would probably look the same (for example, they’d have to detonate outside the stadiums but could get inside the theater and restaurants). This occurred while France was at its highest alert setting.

Prayers for the French; they understand the dangers of Islam better than we do, but because of past colonial practices will have a harder time combating it.

I know what you're saying here but I remember during the Brooklyn pogrom back in the 90s, a Daily News journalist (might have been Jimmy Breslin) was badly beat up and blamed himself for daring to enter oppressed people's streets. So, no, even if they are directly attacked, they will not blame the perp. They're mentally ill and a huge part of the problem.

Accordingly Ben Carson says that black and brown students who are advocating for their full rights and respect at Yale University are ushering in “anarchy” and “this is just raw emotion and people just being manipulated, I think in many of these cases, by outside forces who wish to create disturbances.

Looks like he is pointing his finger at you Salon!

Leftists are in large part queer, jealous, immature and self-destructive adult children.

Good Americans, especially WWII vets, have tolerated these jerks far too long.

CNN did the same in the wee hours of this morning.

They seem to be th best at covering life news, but I turned them off after that.

They don’t need to blame Bush. Many Freepers will do that for them.

It is the tell tale sign of planned agitation, er, community organizing. A minority of a minority screaming so loud (and echoed by the MSM) that they sound like a growing majority. Ferguson, gay marriage, University of Missouri, etc.

yep. I had no desire to meet these people. Driving a cab forced me to and they live crooked, cheating miserable lives. They will rob in front of their six year old without remorse.

They will stick you up for 20 bucks.

Lie, cheat, steal and sell their bodies or others’ bodies to make a dime for the next hit.

Funny. I see NO WHITES in those neighborhoods. Where are the liberals? Not one?

They are not fellow Americans. They are enemies of the republic.

And you are right about the parenting. My brother, who had my father as a role model, spoils his two boys silly and thinks THAT’S normal and having five kids is crazy.
But we grew up FIVE and had so much fun whereas one of his sons is VERY dysfunctional. And women pop out kids and are at work two hours later. (exaggerating of course). But i’ve seen two weeks.

Insanity.

“consistently used eliminationist and other violent rhetoric to describe liberals, progressives and other people with whom they disagree”

Salon shows solidarity between liberals and Muslim terrorists (the other people we conservatives disagree with).

According to Salon, rhetoric is to blame, rather than the fascist ideology of Muslim terrorists.

Leftists at Salon are secret admirers of Muslim fascists.
