Bam! Ace hammers MSM for smearing the Right while hiding lefty criminals’ politics

When it comes to acts of violence, the mainstream media never hesitates to get the “full story” on what motivated the perpetrator — provided they can somehow link the criminal to a right-of-center cause. But when alleged murderer Christopher Dorner’s manifesto emerged earlier today, revealing his hard-Left political views, most members of the media did their damndest to bury the truth. Because if there’s one rule by which the media must play, it’s this: never allow liberals to look bad.

Fortunately, blogger Ace of Spades isn’t afraid of offending anyone’s delicate sensibilities, and this afternoon, he embarked on an epic dismantling of the liberal media palace guard:

gee I can't figure out for the life of me why the media pushes the political orientation of some but not others—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

the media claimed that Palin inspired Loughner, though he did not; they got around this by invoking a foggy "toxic atmosphere"—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Indeed. And we see this again and again.

now we learn that Floyd Corkins actually WAS inspired by the SPLC's "hate map;" they say nothing, and pretend they don't see the connection—

Joseph Stack was first called a Tea Partier; when they found out he was a COMMUNIST, they called him "anti-government"….—

hoping that would mislead people into thinking he was part of the "anti-government" party so much in the news—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

The WP (IIRC) actually went so far as to delete the pro-communist message from Stack's suicide note, so as to not harm the narrative—

Here's how Stack ended his suicide note/notice of intent to plane-bomb the IRS:—

The communist creed: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Those are the actual fucking facts. But the WP did not want to report facts; it wanted to push a false Narrative—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

And so they cut that out of the note, to keep the "Tea Partier" narrative alive.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

.@brainross immediately sprang into action to report that lefties had sent him email tips that the Batman killer "might be a Tea Partier"—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Yep.

So apparently someone's political background IS important in shootings… or at least in SOME shootings.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

But now an Obama-bot @piersmorgan-fan Gun Controller goes on a fucking murderous spree and the media doesn't cover it, it covers it up—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

@hale_razor also claimed to be a tea partier in the early going, or some kind of conservative extremist.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

@braveinnyc oh that really matters to me because I have Mind Heroes like the left does. thank you.—

.@gabrielmalor compiled a list of Killers Whose Political Affiliation Mattered (Until They Turned Out to be Leftists) ace.mu.nu/archives/33124…—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

and then of course political leanings became mere happenstance and not worth mentioning. Via @LilMissRightie—

"nothing to do with politics" is precisely what the media assumes in one case: When it's a liberal.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Bingo.

when it's a liberal or a leftist, it's "nothing to do with politics." Even when Loughner turned out to be a Truther– a left-wing conspiracy—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

…the media still insinuated he was a Palin-fan spurred by the "toxic" atmosphere of the right. It had EVERYTHING to do with politics.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

So long as a connection can be drawn from a Republican to a shooter (or even not drawn, but fabricated), then politics matters.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

But when a crazed leftist like Dr. Amy Bishop goes awry… well, that was Just One Woman's Failings with No Bigger Lessons to Ponder.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

"We don't connect leftists to violence because leftism doesn't encourage violence," the media whispers, as they cuddle with Ayers and Dohrn—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

"There is nothing in leftism which could prompt violence," says the media, suggesting the CIA killed JFK rather than Soviet-defecting LHO—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

"Why everyone on the left is peaceful," the media instructs, overlooking Sirhan Sirhan and Charles Manson—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

"But it's not fair to link Charles Manson to the left!" the shout. "His ideology was twisted and crazy!" they say, linking Lougher to Palin—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

and by the way Loughner didn't read or listen to Palin, but Manson was big on spurring a black-panther-led revolution—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

as @michaleblum3 says, for the media, there are only two acceptable villains: 1, conservatives, 2, "society" generally—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

when they start talking about "society" you know it's a liberal. They could be more specific; they choose not to.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

oh actually that list of left-wing killers (not the media would call them such; it was "society") was posted by @theh2 who's a hell of a guy—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

how would gun laws kept guns out of the hands of a fucking cop?—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

when the media gins up hate, they call it 'educating the public."—

"Every idea is an incitement… Eloquence may set fire to reason." — Oliver Wendell Holmes, dissenting in Gitlow v. People—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

That is now the accepted law. But note only ONE party is demanded to give up its eloquence and ideas for the "public safety"—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

.@piersmorgan is an inarticulate imbecile but he pitches hot, crude rhetoric that certain simple minds find pleasing.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

.@piersmorgan his ideas — his "incitements" — may "set fire to reason," at lest in those rather short on reason.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

No one in the media would ever suggest that @piersmorgan modify his crude carny-barking just because an idiot might be inspired by tit.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

But that is the demand the media lays at conservative feet every day — you MUST give up vigorously agitating for your political beliefs…—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

…or else, gee whiz, a Maniac with a Gun might do someone some harm.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

If the media doesn't ask @piersmorgan or ever the demagogue @barackObama to give up their ideas, how can it ask others to that?—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

It's because they're demagoguing this themselves; the right losing its voice isn't just an acceptable cost, it's the primary benefit of it.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Anyone in the media asking the SPLC to tone down its fundraising-off-"Hate" drives and stop branding people criminals for disagreeing?—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

Nope! Not at all. If some violence results from THAT agitation it's a cost we'll just all have to pay.—
DepressiveBlogger69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 07, 2013

But if Glenn Beck Says a Dirty Word, well then. Now we can demand he cease agitating. For the public good, you understand.—
