Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism. While the data show a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups, violence by white supremacists and other far-right attackers has been on the rise since Barack Obama’s presidency — and has surged since President Trump took office.

A “a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups”… really?

Maybe this is where the left can play word games to further their intentional deception by using the operative word “groups”, implying organized violence as opposed to a lone Bernie supporter who tried to kill federal lawmakers and their staffs.

BTW — That insignificant incident was afforded two sentences in paragraph 22.

Among the most deadly left-wing attacks were the 2016 killings of eight police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge by gunmen sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement. One of the most prominent was last year’s attack on Republican members of a congressional baseball team, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.). The gunman, James Hodgkinson, had raged against Trump online and was a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

There were a few more “assassinations” of police officers and sheriffs all over the country following President Obama’s anti-law enforcement rhetoric after the deaths of young black men; too many of whom would be alive today had they been home at a decent hour and not out committing crime. Yes, that’s judgmental and also a reason why millions of black men over the age of 50 are still alive today.

While the Washington Post will have too many believing that political violence is all the rage on the right, even some liberal news outlets had to allow a more accurate depiction be printed.

You need not cross the shining seas to experience violence, destruction of property and a general dismantling of liberal values from the political left. You could simply visit America’s elite college campuses like Yale or Middlebury or Berkeley, where tomorrow’s leaders attempt to shut down conservative voices with protest or riots. At Middlebury, rioting students landed liberal professor Allison Stanger in a neck brace for the crime of defending a conservative academic’s right to speak. At Berkeley, mobs of students created a “war zone” ahead of a planned visit from conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, injuring Trump supporters and causing $100,000 in damages.

Or head to Portland, Ore., one of the most liberal cities in the nation in the heart of the progressive Pacific Northwest, which this month Politico labeled “America’s Most Politically Violent City.” The progressive paradise — where Republicans are virtually an extinct species — has witnessed millions in damages attributed to the same types of anti-fascists-in-name-only that kept Hamburg residents paralyzed in fear this month. A “counter-protest” to a planned pro-Trump rally landed 14 antifa in jail for attacking the police with explosives and bricks.

Witness the blood-soaked congressional baseball field in Alexandria, Va., site of the June attack on U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and other Republicans batting up for their annual bipartisan game. James Hodgkinson, a “fervent supporter of progressive politics,” showed up to the field with a rifle, a handgun and a hit list of Republicans. As Scalise fought for his life, MSNBC host Joy Reid felt conflicted: The attempted assassination was a “delicate thing” because of Scalise’s conservative views like opposition to gay marriage. “Are we required in a moral sense to put that aside in the moment?” she wondered. Yes, Joy, you are. The shooting of a mainstream, congressional Republican leader is reprehensible, and in no way justifiable.

This is not to say there are no troublemakers on the right. There are, but way too many times they are the small in number and rather insignificant.

But it’s also helpful to accept a pattern.

These small and insignificant “right wing” groups (that many Republicans and conservatives have never heard of, until…) plan a protest. The left hears about it, mobilizes hundreds to counterprotest via social media, the alleged right wing group mobilizes hundreds in response and we have a Charlottesville where people are injured, killed… and it’s blamed on the right. Had the tree fallen with no liberal to hear it, think of all the dollars saved and lives spared.

When the left organizes a protest, business owners routinely board up their storefronts as routine preparation. A massive law enforcement presence is mobilized. You see people in blue safety vests with large white “ACLU” letters reminding those with ill intent whom to see once they get arrested. Large areas are reserved for the detention of agitators.

While the right protests for free speech, the left uses words that imply a pending outcome of violence. They defy common rules of decency with displays of vulgarity to inflame “both sides”.

For too many in the national news media, riots in primarily black neighborhoods make for great television and at least one old fart media pundit erroneously labeled the well-known, mostly white #Antifa an “African American organization” and has yet to issue a mea culpa, let alone an on-air correction.

Probably because their masks and clothing are black. It couldn’t be anything else, right?

The left is triggered into conniptions when anyone dares compare the violence on the right and left. President Trump was vilified for a few news cycles after the death of a Charlottesville protester when he condemned “both sides” while anyone with an Internet connection can find far more examples of massive protests in metropolitan areas, the intentional disruption of uninvolved commuters, and the millions of taxpayer dollars it always takes during and after left wing demonstration that almost always take that violent “mostly peaceful” turn.

It’s past the point when the media tells us to look one way, it’s best to look the other.

And let’s not forget how the left and their media poo-poo the numerous hate hoaxes meant to fraudulently blame the right for continuing liberal dementia.

But it’s also best to remember what liberal leadership thinks of their own and we see why the Washington Post’s bullshit has a stink that will stick long before it’s stepped in.

It was like the president shot their mama.

Years from now, episodes like these should be in a Republican training manual on how to get back in the face of a media, still angry at a president whose election they did not endorse, a public that didn’t collectively listen to them and elected someone despite their best efforts.

The media has used terms like “mostly peaceful” to deflect any connection to rioters and the ideological infrastructure that has indoctrinated and unleashed mobs into the streets who have to be told what to chant when they march, before some almost always splinter off and commit illegal acts.

Here’s a montage created seven years ago on the “mostly peaceful” in comparison to what the left and media would consider an out-of-control, evil, right wing Tea Party horde….

The left has much blood on their hands and just because the media doesn’t report it, doesn’t mean it never happened. Progressive activists, amplified by an eager and willing media, stoked racial tension in poor neighborhoods to the point where police officers were being assassinated on an almost daily basis last year. The media has yet to assume any culpability for the damage and death caused because it didn’t happen where they live.

They’re just so outraged that FINALLY someone, President Donald Trump, has had the nerve to call out liberal violence; the liberal violence the media’s tried to hide for many years.

The protest leaders followed Officer Wells and inquired why the motorist wasn’t arrested. When another protester loudly interjected himself into the conversation, a brief argument ensued and the protest leaders later objected to having any video that made “black people look bad” be documented for broadcast.

We are a nation built on the rule of law, and so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury’s to make. There are Americans who agree with it and there are Americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. It’s an understandable reaction. But I join Michael’s parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully.
— President Barack Obama

CNN referred to the shooting as a “murder” during their riot coverage. Fox News is still pontificating. The liberals are exploiting blacks on the ground while conservatives exploited willing blacks who are only showcased when the issue is race. Anarchists are using Ferguson as an excuse to continue their delusional quest to overthrow the country while college students participated to earn some feel-good, Ferguson extra credits.

The now-second-guessing cable news media wanted the juicy live video. Political halfrican-Americans seized on yet another opportunity to prove their blackness. Social media intellectuals showed their true colors. The activists wanted to revive their relevance. Criminals pounced on a police force that would be distracted. The writers at “Law & Order” have a new plot line. All found a way to cash in on a local tragedy.

What’s understandable is that we expected the insanity of looting and burning down of one’s own neighborhood after bitching that few businesses wanted to set up shop there. What’s understandable is the same sensationalist media that cherry-picked the Brown shooting and involved themselves in the wall-to-wall coverage, will lecture the nation before soon leaving behind the Ferguson residents with the devastation they helped inflame.

We were at the White House when the grand jury decision was announced and at the time, there were more police and media personnel than tourists.

One man overheard our conversation about the controversy and agreed to share his sobering perspective….

While I don’t agree with everything this man said, he did make a few valid points that mustn’t be dismissed just because it’s something you can’t identify with. To do so would make you sound like another elitist, know-it-all pundit wannabe.

And let’s not forget the dirty little secret: with the exception of the state’s lieutenant governor, almost all of the prominent players in the Ferguson tragedy are Democrats and/or progressives.

It will be very easy for many on the conservative side to cite the “rule of law”; the same sanctimonious who are on our televisions, radios, and campuses live a life of security most of us will never experience, thus their sheltered perspective on how things should be must be taken with a degree of skepticism.

Ferguson, Missouri is a self-inflicted wound committed by almost involved. There may be “no justice” and “no peace”, but there sure seems to be a teachable shortage of shame as well.

As for the media, next stop: Cleveland…?

The mother of Michael Brown could be charged with felony armed robbery for allegedly attacking people in a Ferguson, Mo., parking lot because they were selling T-shirts honoring the late teenager.

A copy of the Ferguson Police Department report was provided yesterday by city attorney Stephanie Karr. When TSG requested the document two weeks ago, Karr noted that Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, was “described in the report” and had “specifically requested that the report be withheld from the media.”
— The Smoking Gun, 11/6/14

Funny how quickly some people believe they’re special….

One person was hospitalized in the reported attack and another unidentified alleged victim was reportedly beaten with a pipe. “You can’t sell this shit,” McSpadden allegedly said, according to the report.

McSpadden’s former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon, was among those beaten by “a large group of about 20-30 subjects” who had “jumped out of vehicles and rushed” the group of sellers, according to the police report.

This couldn’t be all about the money, could it?

Have you noticed how much attention the Palin family brawl has garnered, yet there is very little reporting of this incident?

Ferguson racebaiting, police-taunting opportunists are going to raise hell once the grand jury absolves officer Darren Wilson of the desired premeditated murder of innocent bystander Michael Brown, yet his own mother shows that violence appears to be in the family blood.
