Doesn’t Fit the Narrative, or Drive the Agenda

January 21, 2011 - 2:44 pm - by Ed Driscoll

Ever hear of Casey Brezik? Neither did I, until now.  At the American Thinker, Jack Cashill explains how a story that doesn’t fit the accepted MSM template doesn’t bubble up to the national news:

In September 2010 Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was scheduled to speak at Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City.

At some point, wearing black clothes and a bullet-proof vest, 22 year-old Casey Brezik bolted out of a classroom, knife in hand, and slashed the throat of a dean. As he would later admit, he confused the dean with Nixon.

The story never left Kansas City. It is not hard to understand why. Knives lack the political sex appeal of guns, and even Keith Olbermann would have had a hard time turning Brezik into a Tea Partier.

Indeed, Brezik seems to have inhaled just about every noxious vapor in the left-wing miasma: environmental extremism, radical Islam, anti-capitalism, anti-Zionism and Christophobia, among others.

In his “About Me” box on Facebook, Brezik listed as his favorite quotation one from progressive poster boy, Che Guevara. The quote begins “Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism” and gets more belligerent from there.

On his wall postings, Brezik ranted, “How are we the radical(s) (left) to confront the NEW RIGHT, if we avoid confrontation all together?”

As good as his word, Brezik’s marched on Toronto in June 2010 to protest the G20 Summit, where he was arrested, charged, and deported. “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED,” he boasted.

Read the whole thing; it gets worse.

    Well, in all fairness (sarcasm alert) to the MSM, you really can’t blame them for not doing more with this because in September 2010, they were still under the illusion they were going to hold congress. I guess chronic prevarication is a double-edged sword.

    Brezik and his actions are an excellent metaphor for the bloated corpse of the once vibrant American left; with his little brain full of leftist pap, he runs out on stage and slashes a fellow Democrat (Oh, right! Like the dean was a Republican!).

    Lefty Casey has stuck out.

    The poor sap is a lot like Che: Angry and incompetent in equal measure.

    It’s the Conservative Christians who want to turn the US into a Christian version of Saudi Arabia, not the liberals.
