Rest assured if the roles had been reversed, it would be all over the MSM proclaiming "right wing terrorism" or some such nonsense for weeks or months.
But when people are motivated by leftist/liberal ideology and seek to harm Republicans, the narrative is insanity, not harping endlessly on political motivation.

It's either side of the extremes. I hate both of them equally.

Amazingly or not so amazingly, some news stories don't mention his home made anti-Trump signs or that the victim was a GOP Committeeman. Do you see why we hate the news media? Here's an example of that:

West Goshen homicide defendant had history of violence at home

I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't all over the national news.

1. One side doesn't want to tell you an anti-Trump Democrat killed a Republican local official.
2. The other side doesn't want to tell you a crazy man had a gun.
This exactly what the globalists want :

They want the entire population balkanized and at war with each other - so it doesn't not become unified and come after them.


Sad but true.

What a pathetic thread! This man had a history of violence and to turn it into an us versus them is particularly repulsive given how everyone is so polarized. People on this board need to grow the hell up.

As far as that rag that is called the Daily Caller, anything to make a few bucks from its clueless readers apparently.

So, this D killed a R. Does that mean that all Ds are killers? Or does it mean that we just haven't heard of a R killing a D in a while. It's not like that never happened before. I also wonder if these extreme politically motivated killings are usually related to who is in and who is out of power?

From now on wherever there is a murder I suggest the cops do an intensive investigation to find out the political party of both the victim and the accused. That way we can easily keep score. Otherwise, what's the point?

Or. We can all grow up and realize ad acknowledge there are nuts on both sides and that trying to keep score like this is childish political nuttery too.

Ah, no worries. Less media coverage of such disgusting crimes usually equates to more votes for Trump in 2020. Just imagine once we clean up the voters rolls, with more and more illegals deported or fleeing, there will be a popular and electoral vote majority of at least 3m come next election.

“overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats.â€
The claim is based on research that found a majority of ex-felons in three states
registered as Democrats. But that was a study of all ex-felons,
not just violent criminals, as Cruz framed it. "
Guessing that study covered a lot of criminal activity?
You're still missing the point.

Consider the source and posters and it's not surprising, at all.

I guess we are going to have to start branding people's foreheads with an R or a D so that when they commit some heinous act we can keep a scorecard.
Um, you're the guy that got caught red-handed blaming Trump for high gas prices while previously saying in another post during the Obama admin that the president doesn't impact gas prices.

As such, maybe you should shut your pie hole whining about other people "bolstering an agenda" because we all know if the guy had been an (R) you'd be in here screaming the same stuff Todd just did.

Are you telling me you and Treebeard have never piled on over the bad actions of a lone nutjob to lambast Republicans?

Yes or no? Careful there...you might wind up in the Don hall of fame with this answer.

Nope, and since we have nothing yet in the way of motive..perhaps your conclusions are premature?

I'm not sure how you expect reasonable people to buy into the idea that political ideology colors every action.
