In America 2.0, non-liberals are murdered with approval

Sam writes:

By now, everyone has heard the story of Christopher Dorner, a former policeman who published a list of typical leftist grievances and proceeded to murder several officers in acts of supposed revenge. Apparently, he now has a significant cult following that is cheering him on. This phenomenon is yet more evidence of the growing effect that Hollywood and media portrayals of evil, white, racist, Christian men has had on the American psyche. For Dorner’s supporters, these “white racists” “needed killing.” And his supporters are not members of fringe groups; they are for the most part ordinary people with vaguely liberal sympathies. A significant proportion of America 2.0 wants the holdouts from the original version dead and gone.

This follows a pattern of leftist killers and would-be killers that has gone utterly unacknowledged by the media. To name only a few: The Discovery Channel shooter who was set off by Al Gore’s alarmists views on climate change; Floyd Corkins, the militant homosexual who tried, by his own admission, to “kill as many people as he could” at the Family Research Council; the militant pro-abortionist (whose name escapes me) who targeted Robert George and other prominent pro-life members but was pre-emptively apprehended.

And yet, the media pays no attention whatsoever to this emerging pattern of left-on-right violence, even though it immediately, publicly, and falsely insinutated that shooters such as Jared Loughner and James Holmers were right wing Tea-Partiers, and even as the national government sends out memos warning of a possible insurgency carried by conservatives in Darlington, South Carolina of all places.

How much longer is this going to continue before the left becomes openly and unapologetically brown-shirt? Before they start quietly approving of violence against conservatives and seeing it as nothing more than “just deserts”? Something tells me we are rapidly getting past the point where conservatives will be punished with things such as job loss and public humiliation, and open violence against us will become socially and politically acceptable and elicit only token condemnation.

The reaction of the left to Christopher Dorner and his murder spree is very telling. He is being praised by various people on Twitter and other social networking sights as a real life Django (a character from a recent Quentin Tarantino movie, a former slave that mass murders whites) and the murderous, rogue slave Nat Turner. Others are praising him as a that is taking on oppressive, racist, fascist cops. Meanwhile, the same establishment media liberals that were quick to blame Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh for the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords by the deranged Jared Loughner or who blamed Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Srdja Trifkovic, Fjordman, and Mark Steyn for Andres Breivik’s mass shooting in Norway, are warning that we should not politicize the Dorner shootings and are trying to downplay Dorner’s leftist worldview as expressed in his manifesto.
