Excerpt:
Are "right-wing" extremists more dangerous than Al-Qaeda terrorists? According to CNN's National Security Analyst Peter Bergen, they are. In a CNN commentary posted yesterday Bergen wrote, "U.S. right wing extremists [are] more deadly than jihadists." He also also happens to be a director for the George Soros-funded liberal New America Foundation. What a coincidence.
Bergen claimed that "white supremacists, anti-abortion extremists and anti-government militants have killed more people in the United States than have extremists motivated by al Qaeda's ideology." He cited a New America study which counted 34 people killed by right-wing extremist acts and just 23 people killed by Al Qaeda-linked terrorism, after 9/11. Why start there? Wouldn't the 2,977 people killed that day by jihadists skew those findings somewhat?
The study conveniently left out certain key things -- such as the number of prevented terrorist attacks each year and the multitude of jihadist attacks that happen globally. It also avoided the day of the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Nor did it address the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi in 2012, which killed four Americans.
