Detroit Free Press Smears Pro-Life Protesters As KooksBy Theblogprof, Section News
Figures that the freep would take the opportunity of the Tiller murder to smear the entire pro-life community. Seems I need to remind writer Brian Dickerson that since Roe v Wade, all of 5 abortionists have been murdered. Far more have dies from the flu than from a few wackos. Nor is there any mention that the murderer has mental health problems and is part of an anarchist group. But that, of course, does not fir the narrative. Anyway, from the freep: To defang fanatics, let them speak hate. The sidebar of the article has this:
Those "protesters" are from the kook lone "church" in Witchita, infamous for mocking funerals of fallen soldiers! I kid you not! They are the bane of every conservative group on the face of this nation! It is a rogue church not affiliated with any denomination. They are kooks, and are well known as such. But they are a convenient photo op top paint the entirety of the pro-life community as demented kook bent on murder. From the article:
Defending free speech is like being in love with a gifted but temperamental artist who is forever embarrassing you with his drunken public outbursts. You want to nurture your beloved's creativity, but sometimes you wish you could just leave the bloviating SOB at home.After cherry-picking yet another kook to quote, Dickerson goes on to question if the FACE act is tough enough: The slaying of Tiller has triggered an emotional backlash among proponents of abortion rights, many of whom are urging Congress to toughen a 15-year-old federal law that restricts abortion foes from interfering with abortion clinics and their patients.So you can defraud the city of Detroit with crime after crime as mayor and serve only 1 year, but "interfere" with abortion by exercising your free-speech rights that are guaranteed in the Constitution (abortion is not) and you get 10 years in the can. Murderers and child rapists have gotten less. How is it that abortion, which is supposed to be implied in the Constitution (it's not), has become the most sacred right in this country above those explicitly cited in the founding documents? Dickerson finishes with this: More than it exposes us to violence, the unfettered speech of extremists exposes their own irrationality. Such exposure is a civilized society's most powerful weapon against the lunatic fringe, and we should encourage them whenever they choose to turn it on themselves.Couldn't he just say "let everyone have a say?" Would have been far superior in being fair and balanced to not paint the entire pro-life community with two examples of kookiness, don't you think? Incidentally, The Detroit News had their own ax to grind on the back of the Tiller murder: Suspect in Kan. doctor's death warns of violence. Which would be equivalent to John Hinkley Jr. telling the AP that more Presidents will get shot at. Then again, why waste an opportunity to push forward a narrative?
