Media Falsely Claim Mass Public Shooters are 'Right-wingers' When They're Environmental Extremists
Townhall ^ | 05/17/2022 | Dr. John R. Lott

Posted on 05/19/2022 10:56:35 AM PDT by VictimsRightsPro2a

If you believe the Los Angeles Times, the Buffalo shooter who left 10 dead emerged from “a far-right ecosystem.” A Rolling Stone headline echoed the claim: “The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican.” The New York Times links the mass murderer to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Not to be left out, Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) blames Republicans for the attack, claiming: “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism.”

The media can claim anything they want. There’s no one allowed on their shows that will refute any of it nor will they allow anyone to sneak that point.

The minute a counterpoint is being made that person will be talked over and drowned out.

Oh, patriots can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can.
Will you watch the lousy left,
Or will you be a man?

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

Cheney never missing a chance to be an idiotic leftist. Imagine how much this worm could have undermined us if she weren’t so absolutely stupid to expose herself. Terrifying to think how many Cheneys there are in our party that do have enough low level cunning to not overtly out themselves.

Actually, depending on how one defines mass shooting, it’s gang members.

Everyone, please stop trying to paint over and rationalize what is really a very simple analysis of mass murderers....
Left wing, right wing, this belief or that...

They are JUST PLAIN NUTS.

If there is such an huge, organized white supremacists, what are some of the organizations that support them? Can they tell us how many people are in these organizations and what publications do they publish?

Slander is their opening gambit, followed up by demands for surrender. They do not believe in peaceful coexistence. It is against their religion.

Very good article except for this sentence:

"But the media is completely failing to see the clear connection between environmental extremist rhetoric and these attacks."

The media sees it as clearly as you and I do. They just choose to lie about it. That is their "job" as they see it. Anything to the contrary, like the comments on this thread, are to be considered as "misinformation" and punished with a fine or jailtime.

Sorry, but this not excerpted well.

Article is saying that the MSM have been painting the Buffalo shooter as a right winger but that, based on the “manifesto” he has posted, this murderer does not represent rightist issues.

The shooter says in his manifesto that he is an “eco-fascist national socialist” and calls himself a member of the “mild-moderate authoritarian left.”

He claims that minority immigrants will damage the environment because they have too many children.

He points to capitalists as being a big problem also for the environment, and he is opposed to the “trade of goods.”

This writer goes on to point out that overpopulation and the environment are not issues that the right espouses.

That is why Marxists and Mohammedans are natural allies of convenience: They have the same enemies, and neither totalitarian religion believes in peaceful coexistence.

“Slander is their opening gambit ...”

I agree but since the the slander is broadly general (not specific to anyone in particular), who would have standing in a lawsuit against the Rolling Stone for example?
