We don’t talk about Ismaaiyl Brinsley in the way that we have discussed any number of white mass murderers over the years.

She's absolutely right about this.

The reason she's right is that "white mass murderers" are inevitably, often falsely, pegged as being right-wing Conservative extremists. This is done cynically, for political reasons, to drive a wedge between the political middle and the right, and to generate hate amongst the political Left towards the right (Alinsky's freeze/personalize/polarize).

Witness Eugene Robinson's comments, in the WaPo in his “Tea Party Thugs” opinion piece that ran on 03/26/2010:

“The tea party movement is fueled by rhetoric that echoes the paranoid ravings of the most extreme right-wing nutcases. When tea party leaders talk about the threat of “socialism” and call for “a new revolution” and vow to “take our country back,” they can say they are simply using vivid metaphors. But they cannot plausibly claim to be unaware that there are people - perhaps on the fringe of the movement, but close enough - who give every sign of taking these incendiary words literally.”
