Meanwhile, Right Wing violence is at an all time high.
Way to deflect bach. Way to show the world how much you care about violence. Way to take a video clip that begins with a punch and has absolutely zero context. The first time a supposed Liberal is caught on camera punching a supposed innocent recruiter, just happens to be on the cusp of the Smollett case. Not coincidental at all.
Where was your concern a few months ago when the Proud Boys, a far Right hate group, physically assaulted a bunch of kids in the streets and then FOX news falsely blamed it on Antifa? Sean Hannity lied and said he didn't know who that group was, even though he had the founder of the group on his show 24 times and he even said he wanted to punch these people while on his show and Hannity supported violence "beat the crap out of them":
Sean Hannity attempts to link violent attack by far-right group Proud Boys to left-wing incitementSean Hannity attempted to blame the beating of two or three people by members of the far-right, "Western chauvinist" group the Proud Boys on the left, and repeatedly insisted that he had "never heard of" the Proud Boys. Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes was a long-time Fox News contributor and appeared on Hannity's eponymous Fox show Hannity 24 times from January 2014 to May 2015, according to a Media Matters review. On Hannity, McInnes espoused deeply racist and sexist views, including that the notion of gender equality makes women vulnerable during spring break, that women earn less than men because "they're less ambitious," and that he only regretted calling actress Jada Pinkett Smith a "monkey actress" because it cost him Fox News exposure. McInnes founded the Proud Boys in 2016 and announced he was leaving Fox in 2017.
McInnes also advocated violence on the May 12, 2014, edition of Hannity's Fox News show:
GAVIN MCINNES: It would just be nice to see them get their asses kicked once. Why don't we punch them in the face? They make a movie about Islam. Van Gogh's grandson gets a rapier through the heart, and then everyone goes, not going near that again. How about we kick some butt for a change? Show them--
HANNITY: You say this. And this is the world I grew up in, which is we played hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, street hockey, and I can't think of a day we didn't drop our gloves and throw fists and then pick them up and start playing again. If you do that today, you're going to get arrested.
...
MCINNES: Pat Buchanan had a handicapped brother. They used to walk him out in front of their brothers, and every time he got picked on they'd all jump in and beat the crap out of the guy.
HANNITY: And beat the crap out of them.
MCINNES: Let's get back to that.
HANNITY: The good old days. ... Cowboys, they brawl sometimes, yes. They do.
This in and of itself is far more egregious and obvious than anything you're trying to do to convict Liberals or the Liberal media for supporting violence. But you know, your priorities are about posting against anything Drudge and Hot Air tells you you're supposed to be outraged about.
Proud Boys' Violence Spills Onto New York City Streets - Fox News Blames Antifa=====================
The Right’s Empty Rage Against Jussie Smollett and Loud Silence on Coast Guard Terrorist Christopher Paul Hasson... And yet, where is the conservative outrage for the very real acts of violence being perpetrated in their name? The same day that Smollett’s story began to unravel and his eventual arrest became inevitable, Christopher Paul Hasson, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard and a white supremacist with delusions of mass-murdering liberals both known (“Poca Warren” was one his choice descriptors) and unknown, ostensibly in the hopes of creating his own ethnically-cleansed utopia, was captured.
MSNBC viewers were treated to the surreal spectacle of watching Chris Hayes report on the fact that
he himself was on Hasson’s kill list. And of course, Hayes is a prominent, unabashedly progressive cable news show host, but what about the comparatively nameless eleven people gunned down by a man who reportedly “wanted all Jews to die” at a synagogue in Pittsburgh just a few months ago?
President Trump, who has a tendency to countenance and make anti-Semitic remarks on a regular basis, did not call it a hate crime when he first addressed that attack in public, but instead blamed the victims for not having armed guards in their place of worship.
As far as phony staged incidents are concerned, no one is more notorious that the Right Wing's darling, babyface James O'Keefe. But let's go after the black guy instead.
The 33-year-old who tried to trick the Washington Post with a fake sexual harassment story has a long history of sting operations backfiringJames O'Keefe, a conservative provocateur, failed to uncover bias at The Washington Post after one of his undercover journalists pretended to be a sexual harassment victim of Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. O'Keefe is a self-described "muckraker" who tries to dig up dirt to expose mostly left-leaning individuals and organizations. His most recent attempt at uncovering bias at The Washington Post is just the latest in a string of failed undercover operations.
“WE ARE AT A TURNING POINT”: COUNTERTERRORISM EXPERTS SAY Trump IS INSPIRING A TERRIFYING NEW ERA OF RIGHT-WING VIOLENCETrump Fan Convicted In Anti-Muslim Terror Plot Asks Judge To Consider Trump’s RhetoricMail bomb suspect appeared to be fervent Trump supporterIn the United States, right-wing violence is on the riseAs a Republican, Mitchell Adkins complained of feeling like an outcast at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky. “Hardcore liberals” made fun of him, he wrote, and he faced “discrimination on a daily basis.” He soon dropped out and enrolled in trade school.
But his simmering rage led him back to campus one morning in April 2017, when Adkins pulled out a machete in the campus coffee shop, demanded that patrons state their political affiliation and began slashing at Democrats.
“There was never any ambiguity about why he did it,” said Tristan Reynolds, 22, a witness to the attack, which left two women injured.
Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism. While the data show a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups, violence by white supremacists and other far-right attackers has been on the rise since Barack Obama’s presidency — and has surged since President Trump took office.
