I gotta say the first report said nothing about his politics and the OP did not either- so his claim of a leftie and violence seemed empty. Now his FB page and posts from it show him to be far left. Why some will not look at that is akin to sticking your head in the sand. He is a wacko- a leftie wacko. There are wacko's of all kinds, but this guy is a leftie wacko.

I take it that BillyBob didn't want to look at his FB page for the same reason that I didn't. Random FB pages are full of trash. I don't need that.

Yes, he's a far-left wacko. Of course they exist. You will notice that I didn't accuse BillyBob of being wrong (well, I did hint at it in the "joke" comment). Rather, I asked why he was being called a leftist.

There are moderate leftists, who do not think that violent overthrow of the government is a good idea. There are a lot of people on the right who feel the same way.

But why Jay Nixon? I just don't get it.

Yes, there are crazies of all political leanings; what was the point of this thread?

To troll. Next question?

You do such a good job of that... are you threatened?

Feel free to complain to the moderator.

Just be sure that he's not one of those wacky liberal leftist types...

That certainly does not address the question, but I hope everyone feels free to do so.

Oh Kirk, you never disappoint!

That flies about as well as claiming that those fools who were trying to assassinate Obama back in '08 were adherents of McCain or Republicans in general. In both cases, the guilty parties are whacked, do not know what they think or why.

Trivial note, did you notice how different the guy looks in the two links? Almost doesn't look like the same person. The guy looks pretty whacked, that's my layman's opinion anyway.

I'm not the brightest bulb here, but are most of the "leftest" LWNG left handed?

Here are links to the two stories:

Obama “attempt” in 2008:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/news/ap/politics/2008/Oct/27/feds_disrupt_alleged_plot_targeting_obama.html

And the Nixon attempt:

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MISSOURI_COLLEGE_STABBING?SITE=OREUG&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

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?

I know this might hurt but it’s really not about what you think or feel about this guy doing what he did or even why he did it!. The issue is the difference between the AP's reporting of rightwing crazies verses left wing crazies. When a rightwing crazy commits a crime the AP and virtually all of the Probama media are quick to heap on any inference that right of center ideology is an instigator triggering individuals to commit politically motivate crimes. When left wing crazies commit crimes the AP and the Probama media do everything within their power to mitigate any connection between left wing ideology and instigation triggering those individuals to commit crimes.

In this case the AP makes virtually no mention of the politics of Brezik despite his public self identification with virtually every left wing cause. The Probama media at large has done virtually no reporting on the story itself because if it did the crazy's politics would come out.

Is it imaginable that a rightwing crazy could do what this guy did and not have every major media outlet reporting it in full detail and with follow-up discussions with commentary as to the how and why's of every aspect. Ed Shultz and Keith Blobermann would be railing about how rightwing hate media was to blame for inciting the unbalanced among us!

Let's say that his left-wing politics drove him to kill, and not his craziness.

Why target a Democratic Governor?
