CNN Newsroom: Uneven Coverage of Left-wing vs. Right-wing Extremism

[GTCism]

The left are responsible for much more hate talk than anyone. They like to throw around words when like, phobia, anti, racism, sexism and things of this nature towards any one that doesn't agree with their very evil agenda to under mine western society, they are worst than the groups who make no bones about their desire to dominate the western world, i.e. islam.

[Ultrablastic123]

@GTCism

Jesus christ, im left-wing and thats not what it is or what I do at all, im also gonna guess your a right wing, or just an ignorant republican elitest.

[MrPectos]

was this filmed on a cancerous growth?

[libsRAjoke]

Eric Boehlert is a huge wind bag of left wing poison. This weasel makes me wanna puke.

[TheRivetthead]

it say be Right-wing vs.Left-wing Extremism

[razumfrackle]

October 23, 2010 - Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa.,"Put [Florida gubanatorial candidate Rick Scott] against the wall and shoot him"?

June 13, 2007 - Sen Barack Obama, D-IL., "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun"

October 25, 2010 - Pres Barack Obama, "we're going to punish our enemies [Americans opposing unlawful immigration]".

[razumfrackle]

[razumfrackle]

Consider the irony that Rick Sanchez is complaining about right wing rhetoric when it was he that was fired for his anti-Semitic rant.

Also, Left wing Hate Speech: /watch?v=WZ66JXCBN7c

[asturel13]

Right wing beliefs should not be tolerated at any level of society and freedom of speech should only apply to the expression of Left Wing Liberal ideals. Right wing perspectives are essentially synonymous with mental illness and delusions.

[channelswimmer]

"Rhetoric of Hate...." Next on CNN...

Two Jews and a Mexican do nothing but make mention of a Muslim terrorist incident, and top it off with a Nazi and KKK reference. What a silly charade.

Since our expert from the left asked, and our expert from the right dodged, someone really should have directed these clowns to the readily available FBI statistics on domestic terrorism. The extreme left groups accounts for 29% of domestic terrorist acts on US soil...there are PLENTY to choose from.

[dsmrider]

@channelswimmer the most terrorized building in the world is the american embassy in greece.. its not that greeks hate americans, they just need to do SOMETHING

[GovernmentSham912]

Where do I start with hypocritical violence from the left?

IRS plane crash guy- at first the Tea Party was blamed. Then a retraction admitted the guy was a liberal.

ELF

Guy who bit off a Conservative's finger

Whale Wars- attack whaling ships, openly advocate violence

SEIU brutally beats a black conservative.

Eric Cantor's office gets shot at Same with Lou Dobbs

Someone writes a book and another makes a movie about killing Bush.

I could go on and on.

There hasn't been any from the left?

[intrepidorator]

Bill Clinton was trying to blame talk radio for the OKC bombing this week. Mr. Clinton, you are directly responsible for the OKC bombing, Mcveigh pointed to the incidents at Ruby Ridge abd Waco as his motivation. Those were both ordered by President Clinton. This is clearly an attempt to silence dissent. Opposition speech will not be tolerated by the left.

[mikey3k]

@intrepidorator Hey smart guy, Bush 1 was President during Ruby Ridge, there is no possible way Clinton ordered it.

[intrepidorator]

@mikey3k I never mentioned ruby ridge, You must have confused me with someone else. 

[mikey3k]

@intrepidorator Yes you did, you said "Mcveigh pointed to the incidents at Ruby Ridge abd Waco as his motivation. Those were both ordered by President Clinton." Except Bush ordered Ruby Ridge, not Clinton.

[intrepidorator]

@mikey3k I don't remember saying that, can u tell me when i "might" have made that mistake. I still think that you may be mistaking me for another commentor.

[mikey3k]

@intrepidorator Hey man, it was a few months ago. Hit the see all comments button and search your username.

[intrepidorator]

@mikey3k I dont remember saying it, but obviously Bush was president when ruby ridge occured.

[mikey3k]

@intrepidorator Bush Senior

[intrepidorator]

@mikey3k yes. the first Bush was president. You still havent proven that I made the mistake, but if I did, it is an irrelevent mistake.

[mikey3k]

@intrepidorator I already told you, click on ALL Comments and look for your username. Your exact comment was "Bill Clinton was trying to blame talk radio for the OKC bombing this week. Mr. Clinton, you are directly responsible for the OKC bombing, Mcveigh pointed to the incidents at Ruby Ridge abd Waco as his motivation. Those were both ordered by President Clinton. This is clearly an attempt to silence dissent. Opposition speech will not be tolerated by the left."

[intrepidorator]

@intrepidorator Hmm, quite an intelligently structured sentence, that does sound like me. Well as I said, Bush Sr. was president during the ruby ridge incident. I was wrong about who was president in 92, but since Bush sr. was not a right wing president, the underlying precept is still accurate. Ty for the correction.

[ExoSavage]

why does CNN always say its a hate crime when we don't like some not the color white? has it ever occurred to people that we don't like his policies or his spending frenzy? hell no they go strait to the race card. now not everyone dose that. but many cant see the bigger picture here and for that im sorry.

[AndroidPolitician]

lol how is Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad in any way left-wing?

[AndroidPolitician]

Friendly reminder that AIM would go to CBS stock holder meetings and ask that Walter Cronkite be fired for being a "soviet dupe".

[BoredomCorner]

And you think that calling people traitors for calling the Republicans/Bush out on their bullshit is fair?

You think that Fox News turning a blind eye to right-wing hate and extremism is balanced and even?

You people should at least learn to lie well.

[leavitttrumpet]

Typical democrat response. No facts just personal attacks.

[198ml]

WHAT "rightwing extremism?" What, youre gonna cite a handful of abortion clinics being bombed, socialist/anarchist McVeigh, the socialist JFK assassin, as ex's? Pathetic...once again, making the exception the rule. Heres a cliffnotes version of leftist 101 using feminazism as an ex: over the course of human history, there've been incidents where a female was able to beat up a male...thereforeee there are NO differences, females= in strength w/ males.

[jpo375]

Left ftw.... fuck the right wing nazis

[anotherlookmedia]

Eric Boehlert is correct. The right has been completely HATEFUL of Obama. I would go further and say that their arguments are so hateful that they have become irrational

[leavitttrumpet]

is this guy kidding? The left is still putting down Bush a year after leaving office. Nice try CNN goofs.

[BoredomCorner]

Maybe it's because Bush did lasting damage, you idiot.

[demery39]

rick sanchez drunk driving killer working for cnn............

[fomastephanovitch]

My first reaction to Obama's Nobel win was: where's Kanye West when you need him?

[vladynick]

Call me "racist" if it lessens your fear of hearing conservatives talk "truth & facts" Try however you want t'o try to marginalize us, I'd rather be called rascist, than Comrade !!

[BoredomCorner]

I won't call you racist just for being conservative.

But I will call you an idiot, for assuming every non-conservative is a communist.

[cleasure56]

How can you sit there, biased as you are and call people like me, hard working, tax paying people, hateful. We are certainly not unhinged nor are we vigilantes. I am a teacher and have worked all my life for the past 35 years. If Im dangerous its bcause I stay informed, which sickens me, but certainly not hateful. You are the ones propagating this kind of speech.

[BoredomCorner]

cleasure, I've only seen your most recent post so I'll try to not get on your case about this, but I'll ask you to do the same.

Many (though not all) conservatives I have talked to, genuinely ARE narrow-minded, ignorant, divisive and/or dishonest. Frankly, I don't usually hear bigotry coming from the left-wing, nor do I appreciate being called a communist because I actually think humans should stand by each other.

[aznguymetal]

Right-wing Extremism will be the next domestic terrorist since Oklahoma bombing.

[gumby83854]

I love these liars. The Unibomber killed how many people and when he was caught he had a copy of AL GORES Book with him and he was filled with hate. He was also a Democrat.

[A86]

WTF? The Unabomber was an anti-technology anarchist. Not a Democrat.

[MrM249saw]

being anti technology does not mean he is not a democrat he was in fact a democrat

[A86]

I know that (though I've never really heard of a Luddite Democrat) but I'm going on what he called himself in his Manifesto. He was against all governments and against capitalism. He said nothing about supporting the Democrat party or politicians.

That's not a Democrat. Democrats and Republicans support both.

[DefTheMarxist]

@gumby83854 he also was critical of Leftists in his manifesto. The Democrats are right wing not left wing.

[ICantWaitForSkyrim]

@gumby83854 no way... left wingers cant be violent... thats not true. ITS A CONSPIRACY! THEY'RE RIGHT WINGERS IN DISGUISE! THATS GOT TO BE IT!

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Can you psychotic, deranged lefties please show me one clip by a mainstream conservative media commentator from FOX or anyone like that, that blamed the Jews for Obama's election, or that said ANYTHING about Jews that could have caused James Von Brunn to shoot that guy. Please show me ONE clip or article. To link the right wing to this shooting is ridiculous because clearly this guy was in fact a socialist. All anti-Jew people are lefties.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Also, why is Rick Sanchez moderating a discussion about death and violence? He killed a guy while driving drunk, he shouldn't even be on TV AT ALL.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Here's quick check on the kill count

Abdul Wannabe-Sand-nigger whatever: 1

James Von Brunn: 1

Rick Sanchez: 1

LOL

Fucking idiot. He should not even be on TV at all. He should be in jail with them.

[Sealsealdk]

ROFL!!

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Editor of Rolling Stone. LOFUCKINGL.

Wow what a dork. That magazine these days is about as edgy as a librarian.Fucking idiots.

These leftist scum are the real "haters". They hated on John McCain for marrying into a rich family, lol. Oh god damn, he was actually successful and rich. Oh noes! How horrible! They hated Sarah Palin for having nice clothes. If she hadnt spent all that money on clothes they would have just called her white trash. They're a bunch of gay, superficial little girls.
