The latest crazy a left-wing lunatic who was taking out his ego on innocent people is a pot smoking lefty. Of course the media won't state that
newsmax.com The same media establishment that is quick to label right-wing extremists refuses to call admitted pipe bomber Luke John Helder a left-wing extremist.
Helder, an art student from Minneosta who plays in a punk rock band, sent a rambling letter to the University of Wisconsin student newspaper expressing his radical environmental views and wish to legalize marijuana. Sounding like Al Gore or John Kerry, he whines that "the icebergs are melting, and precious earth is heating up."
Somehow his fear of "global warming" didn't prevent him from using one of those awful internal-combusion engines to drive hundreds of miles (alone! without car pooling! never once taking the bus!) on his reign of terror.
In the letter he placed with his pipe bombs, which injured six innocent people, including elderly women, he claimed that "1% of the nation controls 99% of the nations [sic] total wealth." Move over, Dick Gephardt.
Yet the New York Times, CNN and all the usual suspects fail to point out Helder's views as left-wing. Of course, these are the same media that quickly branded Oklahoma City terrorist Timothy McVeigh, the Branch Davidians, Randy Weaver, etc., as right-wing extremists - but seldom or never referred to Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski or the violent anti-globalization marchers, etc., as left-wing extremists.
