What’s bothering you, ST? A rant on the post-Tiller murder reax
I’m bothered that there are people in this country today both on the extreme left and right who still believe that violence is a way to solve political differences, whether those people are part of some organized fringe group or act alone with encouragement from “anonymous” thugs on the Internet. I’m bothered by the fact that the mainstream media almost always emphasizes one more than the other. I’m bothered by the fact that as a result of a cold act of violence, the pro-life movement will likely be set back at a time when it has been slowly gaining ground. I’m bothered by the fact that George Tiller has been described as a “hero” by liberals like Alan Colmes, when he is anything but. I’m bothered by the fact that conservative Christian pro-lifers are being smeared by the left as “guilty by association” when the vast, vast majority in no way support the tactics employed by Scott Roeder. I’m bothered by the fact that our President – the Commander in Chief – didn’t hesitate to condemn the murder of George Tiller, but waited two days before he issued a condemnation of the murder of a new military recruit, and the attempted murder of another.
