This is the underlying assumption that they simply will not confess, for if they did confess it, it would be game over for them. All of their conclusions -- all of their bias, all of their double-standards -- flow from this premise, which they will not admit, but will only dance around.
The premise is simply that liberal speech is much more valuable than conservative speech and this is of course because liberal politics are much more valuable than conservative ones.
Apparently they also believe liberals committing crimes with firearms is much more acceptable that conservatives NOT committing crimes with firearms.
But never mind the cold hard facts of who is actually committing the crimes, just keep up the drumbeat of "rednecks with gunz" and "bitter clingers" and the generic, one meme fits all... "hater."
