The reliable Jackson (MS) Clarion-Ledger has just printed the FBI's list of unsolved hate-crime murders in Mississippi before 1970. (This list omits the Chaney-Goodman-Schwerner case of 1964, though there may still be living suspects on the loose.)

Ask yourself if these crimes would have been left unsolved if they had been committed by the Weather Underground rather than a white supremacist terrorist underground. Ask whether, in that case, cable news channels and radio talk show "comedians," as Keith Olbermann nicely calls them, would be sounding the roll:

The FBI in Mississippi released today the names of 43 people who were possibly victims of unsolved hate crimes in the state during the civil rights era.

The federal agency had announced in 2006 that it would identify and closely examine all unsolved hate crimes that resulted in deaths before 1970.
