For the record, I don’t like the Confederate Flag — and never have. What I truly despise, though, is CNN cynically holding the flag as ransom against their political enemies.

No matter how heinous the event, CNN always finds a way to exploit death and murder into a political weapon against the Right. This is true even when conservatives are the victims, or the intended victims.

When two jihadists inspired by ISIS attempted to murder everyone attending a free speech event around a Draw Mohammed Cartoon Contest, CNN blamed the victims. The murderers and their sick ideology and Obama’s inability to fight ISIS wasn’t the issue — Pamela Geller was. All Geller was guilty of is what we see in newspapers every day: organizing editorial cartoons. Moreover, she was bravely pushing back against savages attempting to strip her of her rights.

Nevertheless, CNN spent days pounding and personally browbeating Geller for “instigating” a terror attack.  The execrable Erin Burnett even asked Geller if she “relished” being hunted by jihadists.

No matter the tragedy, CNN never does this to Democrats. Never.
