Look you can believe conservative media is responsible for these two recent events or not, it's rather obvious just listening to the crap they said during the incidents (where else would they have gotten such rhetoric?), but I can see why you don't want to admit it. If you admit that conservative media is partially responsible for spawning people such as the man in the OP, then that would allow you to start seeing the cracks in the conservative propaganda machine.

This is why the Islamaphobic rhetoric and rhetoric for other issues that is hateful and intolerant that pervades right wing media and blogs is so dangerous. It incites crap like this. With the Colorado Springs shooting, this makes two recent terrorist attacks perpetrated by conservative Americans clearly influenced by conservative media. Though I'm sure we'll all be told he has mental issues or whatever.

Yep…just another mentally ill person totally uninfluenced by anything but the mess in his head.
I know. Put him in a cell with all the people burning down mosques and refugee centers.
I new a guy once, he wasn't right in the head. Shortly after 911 he went to prison for stabbing someone as 'payback'. Only he couldn't find a 'real terrorist' so he stabbed a Hindu with a turban instead..

No, the Conservative media is NOT responsible.
Do you also believe video games cause people to be violent?
Do you believe that Islam causes people to be violent? I am curious, because Islam calls for violence and no one in Conservative media has called for people to go around shooting cab drivers to my knowledge.

You know, you are literally the first person I've ever seen who pulled a semantics argument on me by trying to separate the terms "conservative" and "right-wing". So with that said, how about explaining what you think the difference is to me?

Right, because people aren't capable of exercising self-restraint unless they are liberals. Your statement is ignorant.
I haven't met many liberals that are anti-muslim and listen to Islamaphobic rhetoric. I'm sure they may exist, but most of that nonsense is coming from the right at this point in time. You are welcome to prove me wrong though.
Define "islamaphobic rhetoric" please. You liberals are silly with your made up words. Y'all even make up your own definitions.

Inevitable.Just goes to show that Islam is bad for everyone involved.
Sarcasm?
Please say this was sarcasm.
Video games don't tell you to distrust your government. There is authority to supercede the things that video games glorify, but when you don't trust that authority at all it is a lot easier to rationalize circumventing the law.

Islamophobic and rhetoric are real words. I am not sure that y'all qualifies though.

So where did he get his Islamaphobic rhetoric from then?

I believe that religion in general makes people violent. Actually, I've seen plenty of calls for violence from conservative media, but conservative media is also more hidden with its threats. It hides its rhetoric behind pro-war messages and general lies about Islam in general.
PS: Here I found a conservative blog VERY easily that is talking about a war with Islam in general. To say that there aren't conservative calls for violence against Islam is just a lie.

If you trust the 'authority' of the Government then you are probably beyond any help. The Government is completely corrupt or have you been living in lala land for the past 50 years?

Watching what? Conservative media? Conservative media extends past the television.
You didn't answer my question about the difference between "right-wing" and "conservative". Instead you opted to just call me off-topic for asking you to elaborate on the semantics argument YOU brought up.
