Now can you honestly state that the AP gave equal treatment to the political views and inspirations of the attackers in these two reports.

Now remember Brezik’s politics didn’t have to be gleaned from investigators, they are posted for any Facebook member to see. Do you think the AP just never bothered to Google the guys name as they did their reporting? The AP had no idea of Brezik’s politics? To come to that conclusion would “really require a willing suspension of disbelief” to quote Hillary Clinton!

So lessee, the big difference between the two is that they didn't start off with:

"Casey Brezik, leftist fanatic scumbag, today . . . "

There are untold 10s of thousands of lard core leftists in the last 100 years that are in no way in my camp. Stalin's operatives and Mao's cultural revolution warriors, for starters. I don't get this business that the fact that some angry, lost soul idolizes Che (whoa, that's never happened before) is some reflection on everyone to the left of Olympia Snowe. I'm supposed to hold my head in shame at what this guy, my presumed soul brother, has said and done?
