Snobbery? I think the NYT still has some pretty credible journalistic standards. Your GOP site is just regurgitating remarks from House members, the basis of which have gone nowhere in their "investigation."

Interesting. So, wasn't the supposed initial reaction to the video by "extremists." Or did some regular non-extreme folks somehow just happen to get wind of the video and this somehow sparked an event composed by regular non-extreme folks who wanted to stage a peaceful nicey-nice demonstration which was then "quickly" moved in on by unaware, unprepared, and fully armed "actual" extremists? Really???
I think the NYT piece captures the most likely scenario pretty well.

Amazing how something can be made to "fit with the evidence." Isn't that usually the case when you attempt to create a story of deniable plausibility? Yes, things have really contradicted the "fit with the evidence." But it is apparently useless to hash it out once again since any contradictory "evidence" seems to fall on deaf or unreceptive ears.
State took a lot of grief over this event from the non-partisan investigations already complete.

So far, what we've seen is a strained attempt to fit the facts with a conspiracy theory that's gone no where.
