They’re back. \u00a0In the wake of the shooting at the abortion mill in Colorado Springs, and the shooting in Minneapolis (and to a lesser extent last week’s\u00a0shootings in San Bernardino, which the left tried\u00a0<\/em>its level best to jam into the template), the talking heads of the left are furrowing their brows and warning us, yet again, about the imminent danger of “white christian right-wing terror”, which, we’re warned, is a huge danger, and could become the biggest most dangerous terror out there. \u00a0Says someone in the government. Because science.<\/p>\n

It’s BS, of course; while white “conservative” terror was a real thing during the heyday of the Klan, by the seventies it had largely faded to obscurity; today, the Klan and other white\/”Christian” identity movements are a pimple on society’s tush.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the numbers aren’t even arguable; left-wing environmental groups committed more terror attacks than all other sources combined from 2001-2011; while 9\/11 outstripped them all in terms of dead people, the level of effort was lopsided in favor of\u00a0the left<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And yet the left – from Janet Napolitano to MPR’s Bob Collins down to the dimmest writer at\u00a0Minnesota Progressive Project<\/em>, assures us that white terror is\u00a0the real danger. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

David French points out the absurdity of the left’s claim<\/a>, against a backdrop of steadily diminishing <\/em>domestic terror of all kinds:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tell the alarmists that, though. Even before this weekend\u2019s shooting at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic, left-wing sites trumpeted the threat of \u201cChristian terrorists\u201d while minimizing the threat of jihadists. This summer, the New York Times hyped a transparently idiotic study claiming that (mainly right-wing) homegrown extremists were deadlier than jihadists \u2014 by excluding from the death toll the almost 3,000 Americans who died on 9\/11 and the nearly 7,000 Americans killed \u2014 not to mention the more than 52,000 Americans wounded \u2014 at the hands of radical Islamists overseas. SHARE ARTICLE ON FACEBOOKSHARE TWEET ARTICLETWEETSince the Planned Parenthood shooting, leftists have indicted the pro-life movement itself for the actions of a bitter and angry loner with no known connections to any activist organization. The Huffington Post wrote a story noting that Colorado Springs is full of \u2014 gasp! \u2014 Christians. Buzzfeed published a comprehensive report demonstrating exactly how abortion-rights activists intend to turn the Colorado shooting into a \u201crallying cry.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
