When white guys shoot up clinics or shoot up Black Lives Matters protests, they’re lone nutjobs. It has nothing to do with the constant stream of hysterics from right wing "entertainers.
I was eating at a highway restaurant with a TV showing CNN. The talking heads were quick to dismiss the crazy suggestion that round-the-clock hate rhetoric from the right might have had anything to do with a guy shooting up a Planned Parenthood while echoing hate rhetoric from the right with weapons that the right insists are more important than food.
To conclude that ALL right wing nut jobs, or Syrian refugees (especially under 12 years old) are terrorists out to kill for their radical beliefs is wrong. To note that fact that so many of these shooters ARE “right wing nut jobs” (Roof, Dear for examples), just as those very FEW Muslims who support ISIL ARE psychotic killers, is just reality.
That it is indeed the “conservatives” who rant and react to challenge these facts about their own “bastard children” in their midst, doesn’t support their cause.
Generalizations and “broad brushing” of whole populations is by definition “conservative” thought process (not to be confused with the political interpretation), it’s psychology, not sociology.
Branding all cops as bad is perhaps from the same fact-free perspective.
In ALL groups, it is the black sheep that is usually the exception, rather than the rule, and they are the ones who should indeed be culled from the flock.
“Have you seen the video’s of kids in ISIS and Palestine with AK-47’s?”Yeah, it takes a fanatical sick-o to put weapons like that in the hands of children.
Nice to see the liberal hate machine running at full steam. Didn’t liberals use to be proud of how tolerant and loving they were? Now we see rabid liberals out for blood. My how times have changed.
rallsoloNow you say your “exceptionalism” grants you the sole right to hate, the sole right to claim it is self-defense, and the sole right to say it is defending your claim to being exceptional. I remember you from case studies in abnormal psychology class back in the 1950s. It must be exceptional for me to remember it so long – or that we were facing the same situations back then too.
Don’t worry, we in the rest of the world have noticed the significant point: that when you’re a white Christian spree killer you’re a “gunman” or “shooter”, while black people are “thugs” and we brown people are “terrorists”. We already knew this of course, but it’s nice to have confirmation.

The big fat ugly clod with the gun is the terrorist.

There is a bomb in the teddy bear according to Faux News. The big guy is defending himself and shoots the kid. Whoops no bomb, NEXT KID!

Lot of assumptions being made here. We don’t know how the kid was raised, whether he was taught to hate us. You don’t know; I don’t know.

You do not watch the news much and see the photos of all the young innocent youths carrying AK-47’s and knives. They grow up to become TERRORIST’s.
But I would expect it from the right wing……so whats your take on San Bernadino? A work place shooting? Typical Bleeding Heart Liberals.
