The right wingers are up to their tricks again, so don’t be fooled by them! As of right now, the ONLY online source that “proves” Amy Bishop who gunned down 3 of her colleagues recently at the University of Alabama was an “extreme leftist who was obsessed with President Obama” is ONE ARTICLE at the Boston Herald. The “family source” who gave out this information to the Boston Herald is nameless and remains so. As soon as the one line, “A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.”, was read by the right wing fringe of America, they’ve relentlessly ran with this notion as true.
Riehl World View is using this one line in the BostonHerald.com article as their proof, as are the Ace of Spades morons, along with cross-eyed fool Michelle Malkin, and the list goes on and on!
It should be noted that the extreme right wing racist white supremacist online group, Stormfront.org (Glenn Beck loves these guys!), seems to like what Amy Bishop did to her colleagues, because as noted in THIS POST, they’re showing her victims as being darker than pasty white, and one of the commenters below the original post believes Amy Bishop blew her top over ‘affirmative action’ when she was passed over for tenure! Yep, in a way….Amy Bishop is a hero to the white supremacists!
By the way, right winger Howie Carr of WRKO Radio (who also writes a column for the Boston Herald each week) before he left for vacation this past week said on air that he was the “anonymous” source in another article (that had nothing to do with Amy Bishop, but was about something else) and he laughed about it on the air. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Carr is the “anonymous family source” in the Amy Bishop article after the Herald called him while he was on vacation to get his feedback on this murder! Amy Bishop is well-known to Massachusetts because over 2 decades ago, Bishop shot her brother to death. Even if Amy was “obsessed” with President Obama what the hell does this have to do with what she did at the University of Alabama? It’s not like she went in and screamed, “I’m going to kill those who don’t agree with Obama’s policies!”. Nope. Didn’t happen like that at all. This woman has had a lifetime of mental instability and has killed before. She obviously was pissed that people darker than her skin had gotten tenure and she didn’t. Sounds like a right winger’s way of thinking….they so hate anyone of color advancing in this country! Maybe the University saw a psychopath who didn’t deserve tenure? Hey, knowing what we know now about her and knowing what she did….I think they were right!
The right wing is trying to paint Amy Bishop as being an extreme lefty obsessed with President Obama to imply this is why she gunned down her fellow colleagues a few days ago at the University of Alabama. Until I see and hear one of her family members on my television stating the same thing, I will not believe what the right wing fringe of America is reporting on her. The End. She’s a murderer and needs to go to prison for the rest of her life! That’s what she truly is.
I love the “cross-eyed fool Michelle Malkin,” LOL. Republicans act like juveniles, and they play to the lowest common denominator in the public. I don’t care which side of the political isle people are on, taking one incident of violence and trying to equate the violence with their political beliefs is stupid. People who act violently on their beliefs, whether left or right, have something wrong with them. Idiots are idiots, regardless of political persuasion. Trying to equate the two is very illogical, in fact it’s kind of the definition of a logical fallacy.
I’m getting all geeky on you now….here is a definition for a “False Effect” logical fallacy.
(2) Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc – Latin.
after this, therefore because of it: a formula designating an error in logic that accepts as a cause something that merely occurred earlier in time.
I’m always amazed at how many logical fallacies pass as punditry, it drives me nuts to be honest. I guess that’s why I like arguing politics, I aced my logic classes in college and I love ripping apart people’s flawed logic. What a geek. I’m working on a post about this topic. I think Hamsher might be involved too….
Good morning Jim! For some reason the lowest common denominators are taking this one incident as all the proof they need to show it’s the leftys in America who are the violent ones! So predictable, because as of right now, their worshiping of George Bush is what got our nation into the mess it’s in, but here they are now….the right wing fringe is acting as if President Obama is to blame for everything that has happened since 1980 when Reagan got in! They’re the violent ones, but they have Glenn Beck to “remind” them that Hitler was a lefty because the Nazis were called “National Socialists”! They’re reaching and redefining everything because they know WE LIBERALS ARE CORRECT!
Consider the sources. First, the Boston Herald is newspaper Rupert Murdoch had owned and was forced to sell due to having a TV station in Boston and that once respected newspaper has made a hard right turn.
Then the Washington Examiner just cut and pasted from the Herald! BTW, the latter is owned by REICH-wing billionaire oilman Philip Anschutz.

Too much “cut and pasting” anymore and less original research.
It’s scary when the right wing nuts talk revolution and 2nd amendment stuff. Lefties aren’t the ones who kill abortion providers or beat up gays or minorities. We hug trees, care about people, we march for those who are in need, not for corporations, greed, and selfish interests.
Right you are Jim, but the right wing fringe of this country is feeling lonely in the domestic terrorism area, so they want to put us lefties in with them to make themselves not stand out so much. See?
There is much talk online and on the radio (Howie Carr’s show recently) that there are Americans out there right now gearing up for bloodshed and are forming militias. Nice huh? If our country goes beserk we can blame the right wing fringe once again!
The right wing nutjobs are just retaliating at the left for exposing all of the lunatic fringe murderer by radical right wing extremist groups.
No doubt this woman had mental issues but this hardly makes her a left wing extremist because she supported Obama. She wasn’t associated with any left wing organization as far as I know.
This was simply a case of a woman with mental issues going on a killing spree because she didn’t get promoted.
Sorry right wingers.
Not any different than the many government workers “going postal” at the US Postal Service. In the case of the latter, I have never ever seen a news organizations talk about the political affiliations of the shooters! But this Alabama story did get a lot of national coverage and the REICH-wing Boston Herald couldn’t resist making up a story, a lie, in true Murdoch fashion.
My cousin’s ex-husband screwed up his taxes one year and he ended up owing the Feds $10,000. It took him years to pay it off, but he did. He didn’t go ‘postal’ either! For most of us, we know that we have to file our taxes and pay them even if we don’t like it. One thing I thought was interesting in Stack’s manifesto is he talked about how in Japan they will jump to their deaths when they’re in financial peril. Didn’t Stack understand that most of those people were the ones behind the financial peril and were committing suicide to save face from the angry masses? Gees.
Today it was reported that a guy’s who house was in foreclosure decided to tear his house down rather than give into the bank:

no sympathy for nigger loving Feds!
Enlighten yourself and ADMIT NIGGERS ARE INFERIOUR!
Well, Right is Right is wrong in his spelling! LOL What a loser. By the way Racist, you are right when you say the right is right when it comes to racism, because look at the examples you’ve given us!
VOTING FOR A REPUBLICAN MEANS YOU ARE A HATEMONGERING RACIST NECK DROOLING IDIOTIC RETARD!
Cannot the REICH-wing TROLLS like Right is Right go through a day without spewing their racist attitudes? I’d hate to have to go through life with so much hate weighing me down.
rightwin nuts are the stupidest idiots ever!
Why do I get the feeling that ‘right is right’ is a fake poster??
By the way, Kay, how does it feel knowing you’ll die in a country where conservatives are again running the show?
After Ogabe’s multiple fuckups, you’ll be lucky if you see a Dem elected dogcatcher anytime soon.
We’re all going to die at some point, dumbass, but the fact that you’re saying we’ll die when the conservatives are running the show IS EXACTLY RIGHT. Conservatives are like global warming….MAN MADE, PREVENTABLE, AND DEADLY!
Voting for a right winger this year means YOU HATE AMERICA AND YOURSELF. The End.
The best thing about doing my taxes every year on April 14th is cheating on them. Crooks in DC get enough of the money I work for throughout the year, damn if I am giving them more on April 15. Its my money and I dont want to support lazy liberals who refuse to work.
According to wacofan, the liberal elitists are on welfare, while the Budweiser drinking rednecks are cheating on their taxes and living the high life! Wow neocon. You’re reaching again but we know why you do it: YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO CATCH ONTO THE TRUTH ABOUT YA!
