Dear CNN [morons]... Please explain why the CNN Calendar you're tallying the killing comparison starts RIGHT AFTER 9/11?

Just like financial 'analysts' who very carefully choose the time span so their 'predictions' look good.

How stupid!

The "author" fails to include the "workplace violence" of Hassan Nidal in Ft. Hood. Just that alone is enough to discredit his entire propaganda piece - what else did he leave out from his "statistics"? But, inadvertently, he does have a point: Al Qaeda is not a threat to the Muslim Brotherhood-friendly administration, with it's Muslim outreach programs and world-wide apologies. People that believe in the Constitution, however, are a threat to a treasonous and criminal junta that is now running the country. And the government, like any other animal, is protecting itself with any means at its disposal, propaganda being one of the most effective.

de-bunked by Michelle Malkin. you need to get up earlier in the day-see my post from this morning

It is indeed sad that ANYONE considers CNN to be a credible news source.

An animal control officer I knew once told me that German Shepherd Dogs had the highest bite ratio of any species because a misc medium-large wandering dog was generally classified as GSD. Therefore, since most bites were from wandering dogs, GSD were to blame.

If you label "Neo-Nazi" as "a member of the conservative political group of the US" then your statistics will be skewed. I wonder what the stats would look like if you classified the deeds by whichever political party praised the doers thereof?

"CNN" says it all. Can't take anything they tout seriously anymore. They are just part of the sycophantic media for the left.

Which only goes to show how "extremists" are completely irrelevant to the murder stats when compared to the government class and the criminal class.

How many tens of thousands die each year because of just the FDA?

I didn't realize CNN was still functioning.

I've realized now that CNN, NBC, ABC, NPR can say anything they want, true or not. They learned it from our president. I can't stomach CNN and others anymore, not even to see what is going on over there, I hope others will join me and continue to leave them and they will not survive much longer.

CNN is in its usual state: stuck on stupid.

Too stupid to comment.

I don't think this article is actually communicating anything.

Another example of why it does not make sense to group a multitude of political beliefs into two "wings". Many beliefs do not fit into either camp, but often these beliefs are arbitrarily assigned to one "wing" or the other. Libertarians have little in common with statists of either "wing".

For a class in "Terrorism for First Responders" I wrote my term paper on the Environmental Liberation Front (and the Animal Liberation Front: ELF and ALF intersect). In my research, I came across the claim that the federal government was engaged in a "Green scare" analogous to the "Red scares" of previous decades. I did not include my research into that into my term paper. However, I did find many cases of right wing, ultra-patriotic, super-conservative, and hyper-patriotic terrorism, including actual firefights (shoot-outs) against police and federal agencies. Yet, actual prison terms given to the conservatives were markedly less or equal to the punishments given to environmentalists for property damage.

The broad narrative is that the "sovereign citizens" and similar people actually do share much cultural landscape with police: prior military service being easy and mainstream Christian values being another coupled with a romantic flair for "frontier" values of rugged individualism. When wrapped in that conceptual cocoon, the red-white-and-blue butterfly is welcomed while the dirt-worshipping tree-hugging moth is not. We see the same thing here in The Gulch. This is a case in point.

The problem with Michele Malkin's "debunking" is that it violates an objective standard recognized in law that morality does not trade lives. In other words, if a bank robbery goes bad and a hostage situation devolves, the police cannot try to figure out if the life of one manager is worth the lives of three tellers. The 9/11 attacks took 3000 lives. The Murrah bombing took fewer than 200, but 18 of them were children. What kind of arithmetic does that call for? Are the lives of children worth more or less than those of adults? I reject that. I denounce it as sheer sophistry.

The fact is that those who harm others justify themselves with a variety of beliefs, all of them found not surprisingly within and of the culture of time and place. How could it be otherwise?

It remains that the terrorist acts of super-patriots are ignored by conservative just as the Weatherman terrorism is excused by Pres. Barack Obama's core Chicagoans. Whether sovereign citizens took more lives or fewer than jihadists is irrelevant. Both express congruent beliefs.

What cannot be shown is that Copenhagen physicists bombed the cafes displaying Schoedinger's Cat. But, then, 2000 years ago, Epicureans did not persecute Stoics. In other words, rational people who look to empirical evidence do not resort to violence. Period.
