Rush: If Anthony's Baby Was Killed In The Womb, Media Wouldn't Care
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 6, 2011 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/06/2011 1:21:45 PM PDT by Faith

"You know, what I don't understand about it is they're [the media] all card-carrying liberals. When does the death of a child bother them? I've never seen them get so upset over the death of a child," Rush Limbaugh said about the Casey Anthony verdict in his monologue on Wednesday.

"If the child had died, what, two years earlier in the womb this woman would be a star. She'd be a hero. And folks, I don't think that is a cliche to say. And I don't think it is as cheap attempt at humor. I think that while it may be uncomfortable to hear -- one of the reasons it is uncomfortable to hear is that there is an element of truth in it," Limbaugh added.

What happened yesterday proves three things:

1)Murdering a child who is outside the womb doesn't necessairly get punishment. Children get no justice.
2) Murdering a child inside the womb via abortion methods doesn't ever get punishment.Children get no justice.
3) Murding a woman who is pregnant with child gets punishment for two murders. The woman and her unborn child are avenged.

Does anyone else see the conflict in this contradiction of the way people look at the life of those who cannot defend themselves?

Plain as the nose on your face, as we used to say.

Part of the media hate might be she chose not to have an abortion. That blows their template away. Wait for tomorrow if she is released. It will be a Media frenzy like the OJ chase down the Freeway. Good God!

All that means is that pregnant women are better able to hire PR consultants.

All you seem to be doing is using buzz words - “stupid”, “too much”, and “unnecessary” don’t at all help explain what you think is wrong with Rush’s comments. I think he’s right on the money.

Who says the media is upset about the death of that young girl? Seems to me they have been goulishly capitalizing on it all along.

Get a schmuck for a prosecutor, get a schmuck decision by the jury.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Spot on comment by Rush, as usual.

It didn’t bother Casey.

Unnecessary and stupid are two different things.

Rush says many things that are used as a bludgeon by the drive by media. He loves to poke them in the eye and see the hornets he has stirred up.

If one wants to say it was stupid of Rush to make this comment that is different than saying the comment itself is stupid.

When I heard Lisa Bloom, the clear context was that she though that Casey Anthony was guilty of killing her child because the child was an inconvenience and an obstacle to Casey living the life she wanted to live.

That is one of the justifications for abortion from the left. They claimed that all children would be wanted children and this sort of thing would be eliminated.

Though I imagine that the esteemed Lisa had no idea she was blowing that lie out of the water with her comment. She though she was making a good point for liberal abortion laws.

“Stupid comment by Rush.”

Why is that? It is perfectly accurate. Liberals love to murder children as long as they are in the womb and even two inches from final birth. “Late Term Abortion”

Rush bringing abortion into the Casey Anthony case is a bit exploitative and off topic. And I’m pro-life too. I’m just not Johnny-one-note about it.

I have been saying this all along. If she had done it two years and a few months before, the libs and feminists would be applauding her and demanding her right to her own body.

It's EXACTLY on target and Rush is once again giving voice to the thoughts of millions. I see drama-filled notes of love to the Anthony child all over the Internet and from TV commentators who hate Sarah Palin because she didn't abort her child.

Why wait until the liberals bring up a topic of discussion? Why let them set the stage, tone or debate? Liberals kill their children all the time using abortion. Why not bring it up now? We are talking about the killing of a child. It is totally on topic.

For Jose Baez to say “We have to stop killing people in this country” (meaning the death penalty) is the MOTHER of all HYPOCRISIES! First of all he should relay that message to his client. This man is a liberal, and like all liberals they support the onslaught murder (abortion) of millions of unborn babies every year but don’t believe in the death penalty for murderers go figure.

Now they are going for the ones who have been born at least up to 2yrs old. They protected the murderer and disregarded the 2yr little girl (Caylee) but that’s okay because a liberal’s politics and agendas come first according to them. Caylee is dead and the liberals are celebrating the freedom of one of their own.

This is the cancer that’s spreading in America.

The fact that she was found innocent by current laws doesn’t mean she is. I know that many who live outside of Orlando have their doubts but for us who lives in Orlando and have been hearing about the case for 3yrs, find that the jury that did not follow the case closely did not have all the facts as we did in Orlando. So I don’t blame them, they did the job well that was asked of them. However the lying was so monumental for the last 3yrs it became the very evidence that should have convicted her in the first place. This is why the majority in Orange County know that she is guilty.

As for Chaney Mason to stand in front of the cameras and lash out at the tax payers of Orange County who are paying him and this massive cost, and say that we “don’t have all the facts” is a lie in its self. We have all the facts needed to had reach the conclusion of guilty.

Unfortunately the law requires that physical evidence must be presented only and if that’s the case then why are they convicting her on lying to Law-enforcement officers? Even if it’s on tape, how then can you convict a person for lying to Law-enforcement? and at the same time not convict her for lying about killing her child, after all that’s on tape also. This is why the laws must be changed. The current laws that are in place protects these murderers from serving any time. These laws have been put in place by extreme leftist, dangerous liberal activist attorneys just like the like-minded Anthony defense team thru the years.

If there is any Justus for little Caylee, it should be the following... That Casey Anthony not have any financial rest, that she pay back all Court costs, Law enforcement, private organizations, private and non private individuals, The City of Orlando, The County of Orange, and volunteers, for misleading and taking away precious time that could have been well spent looking for other missing children. Therefore I call upon all who were involved in searching for little Caylee, to seek Justus for themselves and Caylee.

God help and protect the little lives who are in their mother’s whom and those like little Caylee against any evil.

Rush is an idiot. Maybe he will give Casey a job. The cruel death of a two + year old has NOT one thing to do with the liberals. WE are suppose to by nature protect our own offspring and IF Rush, who obviously has NOT paid attention to what took place is in NO position to be bashing the liberal media.

An absolutely true comment. Had Casey Anthony chosen to murder her daughter the day before she was born instead of two years later, she wouldn't have stirred any controversy in the media. You know this to be a fact.

Why is it that conservatives have this idiotic need to give liberals all the fat they will ever need to chew? A literal child was KILLED. She, Caylee, an INNOCENT 2 + year old is an individual, and conservatives think bashing the godless liberals for caring about this child is going to help their 'cause'????
