Alas, sad cop-out at the end (nonetheless, a good list of many beyond-a-reasonable-doubt reasons to string up Bill O'Reilly & others of his ilk).
"Generalized" support. Just an off-the-cuff remark or two here & there. Both sides do it, you know. Ha ha.We can blame Sean Hannity for his repeated support of Cliven Bundy's "range war" against the BLM, which eventually motivated Jerad and Amanda Miller to kill five people in Las Vegas after participating in the Bundy standoff and declaring, "If they're going to come bring violence to us, well, if that's the language they want to speak, we'll learn it." And, of course, we can blame Rudy Giuliani and the entire conservative movement for their virtually unanimous indifference to the state-sanctioned police killings of black suspects over minor offenses in Ferguson and Staten Island, which apparently motivated the murder of the New York police officers on Saturday.
Or wait. Maybe we can't do any of those things. Maybe lots of people support lots of things, and we can't twist that generalized support into blame for maniacs who decide to take up arms for their own demented reasons. Maybe that's a better idea after all.
He gets paid to point to the truth & then just cop out? I thought real human Mother Jones was some sort of radical.
