Do the logic

come on guys. how many times do we hear of american citizens harbouring weapons and dressing up in military gear, and they happen to be a communist rather than some right-wing militia member?

what was oklahoma again? how many leftist groups make the news in the US?

if obama is perceived as left wing and someone was planning on taking him out, would it be fair to assume that the assailant might have been right wing?

if some guy was found with explosives strapped to his chest you'd have no problem with him being described as an islamist firestarter. whats the difference?

uh...no.
Any nutjob fits the bill.

Bad example.
And how many Islamists with explosives strapped to their chest are in the States again...?
Have there been any?

Following this train of logic I guess this makes Mark (David) Chapman immediately right wing too...

well of course. i just think it is completely ridiculous of you to focus on that tiny part of the article as if its particularly relevant to, well, anything.

why on earth would you think i was referencing suicide attacks in the US?

people that blow themselves up with bombs strapped to their chest often come from the middle east, and right-wing militia-men that have an over-zealous enjoyment of firearms and disagree with black, (supposedly) progressive politicians often come from the USA.

so, i hardly see the issue in describing some guy in the US, wearing military outfits and carrying guns as "right wing". how many people do you know of that fit that bill yet are card-carrying members of the radical left in the US?

how many?

who said anything about a "train" of logic? a reporter is describing the suspect as they see it. do you have any evidence that the assessment is actually incorrect? if you do, then you should present it.

otherwise, your whole involvement with the debate says a lot more about you than it does about the US media. honestly, how meaningless an issue?

in the end, calling anything right or left wing is a judgement call depending on the person making the judgement. maybe the reporter is a hardcore marxist.

you want to know who has made obama seem like the "annointed one" as you like to call him? the united states republican party. congratulations guys.

You seem to be more in touch with such things...do tell...

It has nothing to do with the article and everything to do with Krypton's now renamed thread title...
Stay on track man!

Because you mentioned it?

Does anybody know? Why would I or anyone else here for that matter...

Again, you're missing the boat - it had to do with the former thread title, not the article...
Sorry yea miseed it because your whole involvement is confused now...

Actually, I'd tend to lean more towards the media's 24/7 facination with him...

I changed the thread title because the guy threatened not only Obama, but also, George Bush. Maybe George isn't right-wing enough?

Maybe the guy was fascist?

But PKC is still relatively correct. Assassinations and terrorist attacks in America are 99% carried out by extremist right wingers. I don't know of one leftist militia group in America. Maybe I'll start one...
