Nothing politically biased about that article!
It's difficult for those who weren't around to experience the 1960s first-hand to fully understand the controversy that swirled around "radical" parties such as the Black Panthers
I was around. They were murdering criminals.
Certainly to many Americans they represented the very worst of that era's political movements: a group of hate-filled militants who felt their disaffection with the existing social and political systems justified anything required to achieve their aim of "revolution by any means necessary"
Absolutely!
To others, however, they were the only political group that truly represented a downtrodden and marginalized group of people who had been enslaved, discriminated against, and denied civil rights protections for hundreds of years;
Of course, to like minded communists and radicals wanting to overthrow the government.
Enslaved? anyone know a slave existing in the 60s or 70s? No bias here.
That several Black Panthers directly took part in the torture and murder of Alex Rackey is beyond dispute, and to those of us who believe that torture and murder are always wrong, no matter what the cause, their actions were morally reprehensible. Butthis piece isn't really about outrage over what the Black Panthers did thirty years ago; it's a political tract whose purpose is to discredit the Clintons
BUT, that is know as an eraser word, it in effect erases everything said before the but.
And, to discredit the Clintons? No bias here either. The Clintons did a very good job of discrediting themselves, their political opponents did not need to go to the effort.
I am going to quit at that. The entire excuse for the criminals speaks for itself. And, I am feeling a little disgusted by the entire article.
