He's the the guy gunned down this past Friday for holding an anti-abortion sign. Put another way, he was gunned down by a left wing crazy who was offended that Mr. Pouillon was exercising his right to protest abortions.<br /><br />Ever heard of Dr, George Tiller? Some called him 'Tiller the Killer' as he was considered by many the most notorious late-term (read: partial birth) abortionist in America. He was gunned down by a right wing crazy who was offended that Mr. Tiller was, in his estimation, murdering babies.<br /><br />Regardless of where your sympathies might or might no lie, its hard to believe the coverage these two events received. The producer of Glenn Beck's radio show did a Factiva search of US news sources for the two stories. How many stories were written on each murder?<br /><br />Stories written about the murder of the abortion doctor: 643<br /><br />Stories written about the murder of the man holding an anti-abortion sign: 19<br /><br />Huh. 3,384% more stories about an abortionist. Wonder if the media takes sides...<br /><br />My own google search:<br /><br />George Tiller: 558,000 hits<br /><br />James Pouillon: 58,400 hits<br /><br />Even the internet is tilted 10:1Tadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16638305217267854320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15533387.post-43117049620504343042009-08-06T07:15:00.002-07:002009-08-06T07:26:34.923-07:00Does This Need an Explanation?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgll7KxLWnDYE16Rqfie-C1KlFr2k0s6fxn0TccgHXspSZvBzTFN6ho0odgjMQ66CSDuk_Cjcz0sUeMEXi9ewFaO8s26V3BTh7-108rl-yECWLKK9UfqePyLVp8xtYhfRyB7sBY/s1600-h/obamadebt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 330px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgll7KxLWnDYE16Rqfie-C1KlFr2k0s6fxn0TccgHXspSZvBzTFN6ho0odgjMQ66CSDuk_Cjcz0sUeMEXi9ewFaO8s26V3BTh7-108rl-yECWLKK9UfqePyLVp8xtYhfRyB7sBY/s400/obamadebt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366854196711915522" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Let's see Bush '08 debt = bad... so Obama's debt (Bush x 4) = ?<br /><br />I just can't believe the word 'trillion' is being so flippantly associated with Federal spending. The Progressives are reaching their end game in America. It may very well be too late. Our Children and Grandchildren are already saddled with the tremendous debt they have created and Obama and his associated cronies in Washington are quadrupling down and asking for more.<br /><br />Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security... all about to be bankrupt with no help in sight, so let's stack on the Federalization of 1/6 of the US economy via a massive health care takeover.

The government is about to take over GM in a plan that completely screws private bondholders and favors the unions. Get this: The GM bondholders own $27 billion and they’re getting 10 percent of the common stock in an expected exchange. And the UAW owns $10 billion of the bonds and they’re getting 40 percent of the stock. Huh? Did I miss something here? And Uncle Sam will have a controlling share of the stock with something close to 50 percent ownership. And no bankruptcy judge. So this is a political restructuring run by the White House, not a rule-of-law bankruptcy-court reorganization. . . .
