The “Crazy, Right-Wing Shooter” Myth
RealClear Politics ^ | 11-6-22 | Dr. John R. Lott

If you only read the New York Times editorials, you’d believe that political violence in America is a “right-wing” problem. The Times has been warning of violence from the right for years, but on Nov. 19 and 26, they wrote two long editorials making these claims. The violence stems from the lies “enthusiastically spread” by Republican politicians. Democrats’ only complicity was their $53 million in spending on “far-right fringe candidates in the primaries.” The fringe candidates, it was hoped, would be easier to beat in the general election.

Both editorials mention the mass murderer in Buffalo, New York, as a political right-winger. But they have been doing that all year. In May, the Times claimed he was of the right because he was racist and listened to a video on a “site known for hosting right-wing extremism.” The headline in the Times announced: “Replacement theory, espoused by the suspect in the Buffalo massacre, has been embraced by some right-wing politicians and commentators.”

When you see a “Crazy Right-Wing Shooter for hire” in the Want-Ads, know that the FBI posted it.

“Everything looks like the far right to these folks because nothing of the old extreme left is extreme to them anymore.”

I think you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt. I believe they are maintaining the narrative in reporting fabricated facts while deliberately omitting the truth.

They are so far left that they think Mao was a conservative.
