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

AIM media analyst Roger Aronoff debates Eric Bolert of Media Matters on the CNN Newsroom with host Rick Sanchez. Bolert says conservative "hate talk" contributed to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum; Aronoff says the media are too eager to blame right-wing speech and ignore or excuse left-wing hatred.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

@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!

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

[TheRivetthead]

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

[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.

@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."

@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.
