IF TODAY'S MSM REPORTED DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR: "NATHAN HALE - AN ANGRY WHITE RIGHT-WINGER - WAS HANGED FOR HIS CRIMES!"

"NATHAN HALE - AN ANGRY WHITE RIGHT-WINGER - HANGED!"

HEROIC TORY - DANIEL STRANG -
HANGED BY ANGRY WHITE MEN!"


OR THE CIVIL WAR:

"ANGRY WHITE WAR-MONGER LINCOLN
REFUSES TO NEGOTIATE SETTLEMENT
WITH DEMOCRATS IN SOUTH!"


These are no more ludicrous than these:
Peter Grier / Christian Science Monitor: John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?

Alex Seitz-Wald / Think Progress: Pentagon Shooter Was Right-Wing, Anti-Government Terrorist

Zachary Roth / TPMMuckraker:
Pentagon Shooter Worshipped Private Property Rights, Denounced …

David Neiwert / Crooks and Liars: ‘Lone wolf’ anti-government extremist opens fire at the Pentagon.
OR THESE:

The Axis of the Obsessed and Deranged
Published: February 27, 2010

No one knows what history will make of the present — least of all journalists, who can at best write history’s sloppy first draft. But if I were to place an incautious bet on which political even will prove the most significant of February 2010, I wouldn’t choose the kabuki health care summit that generated all the ink and 24/7 cable chatter in Washington. I’d put my money instead on the murder-suicide of Andrew Joseph Stack III, the tax protester who flew a plane into an office building housing Internal Revenue Service employees in Austin, Tex., on Feb. 18. It was a flare with the dark afterlife of an omen.

...Stack was a lone madman, and it would be both glib and inaccurate to call him a card-carrying Tea Partier or a “Tea Party terrorist.” But he did leave behind a manifesto whose frothing anti-government, anti-tax rage overlaps with some of those marching under the Tea Party banner.

THESE ATTEMPTS TO TIE THESE RECENT SICK PSYCHO LEFTIST VIOLENT ATTACKS TO THE RIGHT IS RIDICULOUS - AND IT'S SEEN THAT WAY BY MOST AMERICANS.

THEY MAKE BAGHDAD BOB LOOK LIKE WALTER CRONKITE.
