Already, the media has jumped on the John Patrick Bedell story, claiming that he was a raving right winger “with virulent antigovernment feelings,” as the Christian Science Monitor puts it. And, just as they did with the Joseph Stack case, they’re ignoring the evidence in order to come to that conclusion.
John Patrick Bedell, whom authorities identified as the gunman in the Pentagon shooting on Thursday, appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings. If so, that would make the Pentagon shooting the second violent extremist attack on a federal building within the past month. On Feb. 18, Joseph Stack flew a small aircraft into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. Mr. Stack left behind a disjointed screed in which, among other things, he expressed his hatred of the government.
“If so…” That’s a pretty big “if.”
Let’s start by noting that Bedell was a registered Democrat. The media has completely and conveniently ignored that little fact.

No... you got it all wrong. He was a Right wing, Tea party, Christian extremist....White male..Non-Black...Libertarian... Glenn Beck...ummm...look alike....Non gay....extremist!!!
You forgot Free Republic!
Winston Smith happily at work again!
What makes the Left look bad is their media misrepresenting this shooter as a Right-wing type of person.
Has anyone figured out where he got his guns yet? I’m guessing they were stolen or maybe a straw purchase by some other left wing moonbat.

John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?
"Authorities have identified John Patrick Bedell as the gunman in the Pentagon shooting. He appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings."
Why is it that he, "appears to have been a right-wing extremist" beyond the demented imagination of the writer.
This is purely a lefty hatchet job.
Tonight Rachel Maddow will tell us he was connected to someone who knew someone who knew someone who may have lived at the “C Street House” in Washington, so therefore was part of “The Family” and thus was a right-wing fundamentalist Christian homophobe who wants to kill gay people in Uganda while opposing healthcare reform in Congress.
Yeah, we knew that fifteen minutes after it happened... doesn’t stop them from lying though.
Truth is NOT a factor in MSM portraying anyone they feel like, as a right wing nut. The sheeple will be convinced of it by the lying media.
I always recall my mother saying, many years ago - I read it in the newspaper so it must be true.”
Remember. The CSM has nothing to do with Christians. It’s a leftwing commie rag.
Are you profiling??? (sarc)

Employee Fires Shotgun at NW Indiana Office Building
Man arrested after firing single shot at Department of Workforce Development office
Updated 4:28 PM CST, Fri, Mar 5, 2010
One man is in police custody Friday afternoon after firing at the door of a Northwest Indiana office building with a shotgun.
The man was an employee of the Department of Workforce Development in Portage, Ind., the Northwest Indiana Times reported.
Police have not released the identity of the man, but say he angrily left his manager’s office after a meeting, went to his vehicle and grabbed a shotgun. Employees in the building saw the man returning toward the building, at 6224 Central Ave., locked the door and ran toward the back of the building before a single shot was fired toward the door.
No one was hit.

So says the “Southern Poverty Law Center”, bastion of unbiased truth and nonpartisan as they come.
As Patterico reports, he hated Bush and littered the Internet with 9/11 Truther rants.
