This is from a recent Talking Points Memo by Bill O’Reilly. He touches upon how the media is rightly covering violence and insanity on the far-right, but is ignoring it on the left. For example, very few outlets touched upon Norman LeBoon, who called Republican House Whip Eric Cantor’s house threatening to kill him. Additionally, there was recently a brick thrown through the window of the Michigan Republican Party headquarters.
He concludes that there is currently too much hatred in America right now (no, not the kind that involves someone opposing non-traditional marriage).
It is not a stretch to say that the destructive behavior on both sides is reaching a fever pitch.
Interesting you bring this up, as I was just speaking with somebody recently about the way the media has been far too eager to paint conservatives as wild, dangerous, and violent people. It’s quickly becoming a trend among the left as their most recent tactic for discrediting opposition. Quite sad that it has come to this.
What’s even sadder, Oliver, is that thus far that tactic really isn’t working that well. At all in fact.
