The ‘Study’ You’re Citing About Right-Wing Violence Is Full Of Fake Data

Quote
After Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week, conservatives noted that most political violence comes from the left. The left bristles at this fact and has responded by dramatically padding the numbers to pretend the reverse is true.

Consider a Sept. 12 piece from The Economist claiming, “extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.”

Right up front, the piece admits it used data “largely compiled by researchers whom sceptical (sic) conservatives would probably dismiss as biased.” The disclaimer is meant to inoculate The Economist’s audience to its sloppy reporting, as if challenges from conservatives will somehow prove The Economist’s accuracy.

Michael Loadenthal is a known Antifa supporter. The study of right-wing violence is bogus.

Is that the study the moonbats have been screaming about the DOJ taking off their website?  I've seen a few things that made it sound dubious as well, but haven't had time or willpower to really look into it. 
Romans 6:17-18 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

One just has to follow the news to figure out who is perpetrating all the violence. That's why they have to make up the fake studies.
