"....The current effort to demonize Planned Parenthood feels different. This is, literally, a manufactured issue, cobbled together from doctored videotapes and overheated accusations. The organization's activities have been so mischaracterized, and the practice of providing fetal tissue so overblown and so manipulated by lawmakers and politicians, that blame for the ensuing violence falls more heavily on them.
This argument, I concede, rests on a potentially slippery and subjective slope. Holding advocates responsible for such unintended consequences risks dampening speech. Second, conservatives have blamed Black Lives Matter protesters for inspiring the killing of police officers; what makes my critique fair and theirs not? The answer involves gradations of tone and truthfulness. Extreme rhetoric combined with falsehoods tips the balance toward greater culpability...."

“Deserves got nothing to do with it!” It was the registered-female DEMOCRAT man who pulled the trigger.
The left has gone totally to evil.
It wasn’t a planned parenthood shooting. It started outside the bank, some folks were probably killed due to cross fire.
I am amazed that The Almighty has had this much patience for ones who murder babies or a country which allows it. Perhaps it is only that we fight against this barbarous practice that He permits us to continue.
Although the media try mightily to make this a simple case of one man supposedly trying to end the practice or at least hamper it, I think this situation may be far more complex than the media want to admit.

They’re talking about microaggressions, the rape culture on campus, wage disparity, and black lives matter, right?
If these harridans were willing to give conservatives some credit for saving the lives of infants their argument might have some balance. It still would not be true but it would at least demonstrate some objectivity.
You’re exactly right, but do you think the liberal media will ever report the truth of this incident, hell no!
The current effort to demonize REPUBLICANS feels
More honest statement.
To the left, all evil is the responsibility of Republicans. When they start out with a bias, there is no point is reading anything more.
And they wonder why in general all news medias are suspect and declining in influence.
Any bets the people wanting to blame the Republicans for this are the same ones that dismissed Ted Kaczynski’s obsession with Al Gore’s book as simply an inexplicable facet of his madness that had nothing to do with his crimes?
She starts with a feeling and progresses to multiple lies. This is a typical lefty hit piece, putting their sins on our backs. marcus is a communist hack.
Yes. Hosea 4:2 in bible conveys violence begets violence.
RATS want to cut through the face of a baby and extract the brain so it can be sold to the highest bidder. RATS have no standing on moral, ethical, or legal issues in a civilized society.
First they seal the case, put a gag order on every witness then let the politicians speculate like they know something.
This SMELLS bad.
“....The current effort to demonize Planned Parenthood feels different.”
So the media is okay with demonizing Republicans instead (especially in an election year).
FUWP
He was self-medicating with dope whether or not he was also taking any prescription psychotropic drugs.
The anti-American, anti-theist, liberal cobbled together video Zeitgeist, there I fixed it.
Other than the inconvenient location of the shooting OUTSIDE a store front mall that had a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic inside, I don’t find ANYTHING that associates this pot-smoker with ANY opposition to Planned Parenthood at all.
Plus, how many people were shot by police, and how many by the accused pot smoker?
False premise. The rest of your argument goes to hell if it's based on a false premise or narrative. (Like building a house in sand) There is no evidence that the person involved was a Republican. He lived off the grid so he couldn't have read conservative blogs or frequented conservative websites. Most likely he has no clue as to what we conservatives are about. Contrast that with BLM whose members have actually called for the killing of police officers and have confronted and threatened them.
The same people trying to pin this or that shooting on conservatives of any type, are the same ones who deny that their own over the top, and over-heated rhetoric against the police have lead to an upsurge in cop killings. They even try to white-wash the chant “Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon,” and “What do we want; Dead Cops; when do we want them, Now.” Those are just laughed off as just meaningless chants.
Anybody seen an article titled: “Democrats deserve some blame for Planned Parenthood shooting”?
