I have no idea what you're talking about. Nate Send a noteboard - 26/07/2011 03:55:13 PM
left wing wackos are just disturbed individuals, then they try and blame Palin.


Do you have an example of when this was so? I have no idea about situations where a left-wing wacko did something awful (and they have done awful things, I'm sure, just as other right-wing wackos have) and his political leanings were completely ignored in the typical coverage of the story.

I take it you feel that people are calling this particular guy a right-wing wacko ... too often? That they are pressing that point too much? That's a difficult position to take since he is, without a doubt, a right-wing wacko, and calling him such is simple truth.

Do you feel that there are people who take this man's actions as evidence to condemn the entire right-wing ideology? Anyone doing that is being just as thick-headed as trzaska in the above reply. And if people are doing that, do you feel that's an excuse for people of right-wing leanings to entirely deny that this man is a right-wing wacko? Do you feel trzaska is somehow justified in calling him exactly what he is not? Do you feel that media coverage should ignore the man's political beliefs? Do you feel that would be helpful?

Also, I take it that since you had no objection to the actual content of my post, you must have agreed with it?
