60 Minutes claims 74% of “extremist-related killings” in US in last 10 years by “right-wing extremis

Full title : 60 Minutes claims 74% of “extremist-related killings” in US in last 10 years by “right-wing extremists,” not jihadis

This is a completely false statistic, designed to foster ignorance and complacency about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. And the establishment media repeats it, or variations of it, relentlessly. Here is why it is false:

1. It misleads immediately by covering only the last ten years. Why that period? What changed between 2006 and 2007? Why not go back 20 years? Because then the survey period would include 9/11, and would show Islamic jihad terrorists killing many, many more people than “right-wing extremists.” So they start it at a point that suits the data they want.

2. Counting the number of people killed by each group doesn’t take into account failed attacks, such as that of the New York subway jihad bomber last week. Nor does it include foiled plots.

3. Islamic jihad terror is an international movement, with jihad groups all over the world. White supremacism or “right-wing extremism” isn’t.

CBS News is a propaganda outlet for the left, not a news source.

The only way they reach this statistic is to count neo-nazis as “far right”.

But NAZIs are a leftist group. They were not called National Socialists for nothing.

One of the biggest cons in history is the International Socialists left labeling the National Socialist left as “right wing”.

60 Minutes a mouth piece for criminal elements of the Deep State? It's reciprocal...

60 Minutes gets access to government collected information they could never afford to collect or find on their own - in exchange they function as the deep state's PROPAGANDA OUTLET.

Did 60 Minutes get access to 'unmasked' information collected illegally?

It'll all be exposed soon...

This lie - like the lie about the ‘vast right wing conspiracy’ got it's power from being kept secret. Once these types of lies are exposed to sunlight they're easy to debunk and their power is taken away. I smell desperation.

Even their arithmatic makes no sense: They “skip” the 30+ killed and wounded at Fort Hood (deliberately!), the ones killed by the bombs in Boston, the ones killed by the snipers in DC (both Muslim!), the ones shot in San Bernadino by Muslims and the dozens killed in the Orlando gay club by Muslims.

Add ALL of the white-males-shooting (even those by “evil youth” teenage killers) across all the years from 2002 (after 9/11) to 2017. You cannot get even half of those murdered by Muslim terrorists in the US.

And here, what are they doing? Selecting the Sandy Hook shooting as a “right-wing-extremist” action? Adding George Zimmerman? Adding the Giffords shooting as well?

Exactly, s little selective.

If we want to talk about gun deaths, then we have to bring in the little black bastards, Hillarys super predators... the BLACK male punks 14 to 23 years of age who are the greatest contributors to homicides, black homicides... like 95%

Being so selective they lose credibility in their support for asshole idiot groups like BLM

Do they cite where they get their “right wing extremist” groups list from? Wonder if it was the SPLC, which basically categorizes any organization with a Conservative mission statement or religious organization with traditional biblical theology as a “hate group.” If these killings were truly political or religious in nature, the alphabet networks would be leading their 6:30 newscasts every night with these stories and they would be on the front page of every big city rag. On the flip side, a black teenager in Chicago was recently given probation, for the torture of a white disabled man live on Facebook, using anti White and anti Trump language while she and her friends tortured and assaulted this guy. I guess that was his “white privilege”

Former freeper Ryan Mauro has a video pointing out all the jihadi attacks. Maybe this is an attempt to respond. Total BS.

I’m wondering exactly what part of their collective rear-ends did they pull that number from?

Also:

4. Liberals who kill can hardly be considered “extremists” within the liberal movement.

As a vet, you'll know where they keep their heads.
Same place.

Those aren’t extremists since that’s the norm for Chicago.

As Rush Limbaugh asked just a few weeks ago, how many domestic terrorist attacks have been carried out by a member of the NRA, since they began 50 years ago?

That’s right, zero.

The attacks have been for the most part, with the occasional exception of someone who is mentally ill, leftists. People who do not love God.

Congratulations on a sixth victory.
