He was a rabid environmentalist. He considered babies "parasitic human infants", and wanted all "pro-birth" programs to push "stopping human birth". He was extremely anti-war, and equated having more humans with more war. He considered civilization "filth", and its religious roots "disgusting".<\/p>\n
And ThinkProgress, an extremely popular liberal blog, calls out the Right<\/em><\/a> over this guy, James Jay Lee, who took hostages at the Discovery Channel, because one of his eleven points<\/a> refers to immigration. <\/p>\n Really? Is this what passes for intellectual honesty on the Left these days? A guy who said Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" woke him up is a product of the Right?<\/p>\n None other than President of the United States Bill Clinton blamed conservative talk radio for Timothy McVeigh, and recently brought that back up<\/a> in light of the Tea Party. Conservatives against the "Ground Zero Mosque" were blamed for the stabbing of a Muslim cabbie (until it was found that it was a GZM supporter<\/em> who stabbed the cabbie who was against<\/em> the Mosque). And Caleb Howe reminds us<\/a>:<\/p>\n Lee acted irrationally. His environmental extremism was likely a function of his derangement, rather than the source of it. He latched on. He took it to the extreme, to say the least. Lee was not, by any measure that I would choose, a sane man. The story told by his brother-in-law – one of temper, erratic behavior, and irrational views – recalls Jerry Kane<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jerry Kane, and his son Joe, killed two police officers and were killed themselves, in a shoot-out precipitated by a simple traffic stop. Jerry Kane, too, was an unstable man. His hometown mayor said of him that \u201cYou were always looking over your shoulder to make sure he wasn\u2019t there. You never knew what he was going to do. I always thought he was an unstable individual.\u201d Like Lee, the aftermath anecdotes painted a picture of paranoia and fear. But that didn\u2019t stop liberal sites like Crooks and Liars<\/a> from laying him at the feet of the conservative movement. Or Joseph Stack<\/a>. Or Richard Poplawski<\/a>. Or Byron Williams<\/a>. It didn\u2019t stop them from suggesting that Erick [Erickson] was responsible for a census worker slaying<\/a>. <\/p>\n In fact, every time someone is shot in a lone gunman scenario, the right, and the tea parties and talk radio in particular, are virtually instantaneously blamed by the left at large for \u201cviolent\u201d rhetoric and instigation. <\/p>\n Stop me, again, if you\u2019ve heard THAT one before.<\/p>\n We never stop hearing from the MSNBC left how the Fox News right is stirring up violence. But when someone clearly basing his murderous intent on the idea that humans are going to destroy the world, and soon, acts on the dire prophecies of Al Gore \u2026 well suddenly you can\u2019t blame rhetoric for crazy people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz will simply not take responsibility for this guy. I don’t think they should, but they should then not require the Right to take responsibility for the acts of other nuts.<\/p>\n But they will, as will Bill Clinton. This is<\/em> what passes for intellectual honesty on the Left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He was a rabid environmentalist.
