The left’s “guilt-by-association” hypocrisy

Christine Flowers gets to the heart of the matter:
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.
We all know that, in spite of the fact that fringe left wing ecoterrorism is listed by the FBI as the number one domestic terror threat we face in America, the news media rarely if ever saturates their airwaves, their Internet pages, and their news papers with stories about it, nor do we see massive pundits and politicos lining up to express their outrage. Of course, this doesn’t mean that those pundits and politicos condone the militant environmental acts – just that, in the scheme of things, they don’t see the problem as widespread enough to make an issue out of it.
Here’s another thing to keep in mind in the weeks to come as the left and the mainstream media continue their campaigns to smear all pro-lifers for the actions of a few: Bill Ayers was an unrepentant domestic terrorist, too, and he and Barack Obama had more than just a “passing neighbor on the street” association while Obama was a rising star in Chicago/Illinois politics.
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, partial birth abortion doctor George Tiller has been murdered:
Oh, so fitting, all things considered. Turn up your speakers quite a bit to hear it because the sound on the video is low.
