Fox newscasts(and im not talking about hannity/oreilly propagandists) almost always editorialize news reports.They dont report the facts alone they insert opinion in the story ad nauseam. You dont see that on normal media like cbs,abc,nbc as bad as they may be.
That's quite a stretch to infer that I've blamed everybody in the pro-life movement. The reality is that the invective of many, many people who are pro-life and their lack of criticism of the demogogues like O'Reilly are helping to drive borderline cases to violence. Murder, attempted murder and bombings for the express purpose of intimidation is terrorism. The fact that you think the dictionary definition is what "I term" terrorism seems to indicate that you think there's some debate about this.
WTVT, a Fox affiliate, and Fox News network's lawyer went to court to fight for the right to lie on air as part of their appeal of a whistleblower award against them. Because the court found that there only an FCC policy and not a law, rule or regulation they were permitted to intentionally lie and therefore the whistleblower statute did not apply. This was their DEFENSE!
This is exactly the problem I have with your formulation. You throw around terms like terrorism that imply organized, group activity, then you deny that you meant to impugn "everybody" in the pro life community. Maybe not everybody, but you clearly intended to apply the terrorism label to more than just the deranged individuals who shot some abortionists. You are attempting to taint an entire movement as somehow culpable for some violence going back many years that is clearly the work of deranged individuals working alone. I absolutely object to calling these killings terrorism. I call them acts by mentally deranged individuals. They are clearly lone wolves, not members of cells or participants in an organized conspiracy. Terrorism implies random acts of violence against a population at large. Car bombs, bombs in pizzarias, transit bombings. These killings were certainly criminal, but they were not terrorism as it is generally undestood.
Okay. So in your view, Islam is not culpable because of various attackers acting alone. I agree, actually. I also agree that not all pro-life advocates are culpable. However, they share responsibility if they have not objected to the increasingly shrill and dangerous demogoguery on tv and radio referring to baby murderers, baby killers, "there's blood on their hands" etc. etc. That's why God made dictionaries. Terrorist: a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=terrorist
The difference is that abortionists are killing babies which could exist outside the mom's body. They stick screw driver like instruments into the babies heads, crush the baby skulls and suck out dismembered baby parts with a vacuum (when things go according to a plan) They are barabaric. Does that mean we should kill abortionists -- absolutely not. Abortion is a barbaric act of killing. It is as disgusting as the stuff we see in slaughter houses - only we eat the animal. Why are liberals saving animals from barbaric acts and not defenseless human babies? I have every right to speak the truth. Is not progressive, empathetic or truly liberal to support the butchering of un born human babies. Ok - now that I spoke the truth about killing babies. Let me say this - just like gay marriage... if the majority of people in your state wish to kill babies and the supreme court of your state does not think that human babies are class fit for protection... feel free to hack away. We still live in America and I do believe in states rights and majority rule.
Calling this bullshit artist out aren't you AAA. What is the motive behind these individuals who paint whole groups as somehow a threat to the US? Highly suspicious.
I don't find that any more barbaric than an appendectomy. Why should your opinion on appendectomies or abortions overrule mine given that my beliefs are, obviously, different than yours? On that we can agree. Excellent point. "Meat is murder" is also a slogan that's thrown around by extremists. Because they're typically not babies. If it is butchering of babies, then any defense is justified, including killing to prevent it. Do you see how you cornered yourself? In one paragraph you say that killing to prevent the killing of babies is wrong while also claiming that it is actually killing of babies, which if it were any defense would be fair and justified. If the majority ruled against birth control (since it's murdering babies) then you would abide by this and have many children? I wouldn't.
