The liberal media loves to link being conservative with being violent

The Norway attacks were atrocious. A single mad-man created such havoc and mayhem. My thoughts and prayers go to my friends in the Oslo area.

But this article is an affront to the vast majority of those on the political right. It is typical of the type of liberal media hate speech against those that believe in smaller government, fewer taxes, right to free speech, right to own a firearm and managed immigration. Here are some of the expressions they use with glee: “right-wing fundamental Christian”, “right-wing extremist”, “hate speech”, “rightist extremism”. And of course the author advocates the restriction of what non-liberals can say and to whom and how they criticize the left.

This writer, and the NY Times in general, love the opportunity to paint those that believe in less government (generally referred to as the right) as “far-right” thugs. This killer was a psychopathic criminal. And we don’t really know what his views were other than being anti-immigrant.

I go back to my earlier post that the left-right descriptors are a very poor way to divide the political spectrum. http://getbackjack.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-does-it-mean-to-be-far-left-or-far.html

But the liberal media loves to link being on the right with advocating violence. And we have to fight back (peacefully) to set this record straight.

  1. There's no affront here to those who believe in smaller government! That's ridiculous. Right-wing terrorists have periodically emerged in Europe over the years. Even during the period of the Red Brigades in Italy and the Baader/Meinhof gang in Germany (yes, those groups could be termed "left-wing terrorists"), right terrorists killed many more people.
