Debunking More Right-Wing Bulls**t: Liberal Shooters

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/03/31/debunking-more-right-wing-bullst-liberal-shooters/



This “letter to the editor” has been making the rounds since January so I think it’s about time we debunked it. The letter is a hit job that originated with right-wing radio host Roger Hedgecock. The former mayor of San Diego has a radio show and podcast which he uses to spew his ugly messages. This one was picked up by viewers and redirected at local LTE pages nationwide. Let’s have a look, shall we?


The article debunks each of these, including the one picked up from Breitbart, then gives
just a sampling of incidents of right-wing violence.



Oklahoma City bombing, a horrible attack driven by political ideology.

Eric Rudolph, the Olympic Park bomber ...
Extremist chatter on the Internet while he was evading capture praised him as “a hero.”


Michael Frederick Griffin murdered Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, Florida.

Paul Hill shot Dr. Bayard Britton in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Anti-abortion terrorist John Salvi carried out two fatal attacks on two abortion clinics in Brookline, Massachusetts in December 1994.

Anti-immigrant vigilantes murdered Raul Flores Jr and his 9-year-old daughter Brisenia at point-blank range in their Tucson, Arizona

George Richard Tiller, MD was murdered by Scott Roeder, a militant anti-abortion protestor.

There was the killing at the Holocaust Museum

and now the possible activity of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas killing the Kaufman County prosecutors

and on and on
