That's what Jeff's point was, moron.

Really? James Lee is the very first? Your idiotic source needs to check their facts.

Lee was a follower of Daniel Quinn the purveyor of ishmael.org and author
of the book titled "Ishmael." It was through Quinn's book and
"teachings" that Lee got his anti-human population views. Lee
said that watching Gore's propaganda-mentary gave him an epiphany. Whether
Gore's rhetoric inspired him or not isn't the point, though. The point is
that this guy was a left-wing nutcase and yet the talking heads on the left
tried to make him out as some sort of right-winger before they had any
information. It's the left who are trying to tie any and every nutcase in
with the right so they can indict the entire right as out of touch with
reality.

The Oakland guy had a long and violent criminal history that had nothing to
do with politics. Here we have your source doing exactly what I pointed
out. They are trying to indict anyone on the right as being dangerous.

Those "right-wing pundits" you and your source try to indict
espouse personal responsibility and reject the idea of group-think. You and
your source totally miss that point and mindlessly try to paint all
right-of-center pundits as insincere and their listeners as mindless rubes.
You can't accept the fact that others might honestly have a different
perspective than you.

The only denial and excuses so far are from you and your source.
