I know that title is going to get me in hot water with the far left, but let’s call a spade a spade, here. Tillman, regardless of what you may think of him, was a mass murderer, regardless of whether his victims were inside or outside of the womb. I don’t think too many people who hate abortion will be shedding many tears over him.
Now, don’t take that as my excusing someone going out and shooting him, because that’s not what I’m saying at all. The full weight of the law should be brought to bear on the killer, and I believe it will be. I hope and pray for their families (both Tillman’s and the killer’s) and hope they both find peace and comfort.
Having said that, I think it’s important to point out that the left has already started to paint the actions of this one person as being representative of the entire right wing, which is ridiculous. No sane person on the right advocates or is advocating going out and shooting somebody (now, that’s not to say we don’t have our kooks on the fringes who do advocate it, because we do…but so does the left, in even greater numbers).
What I find bizarre is that the left has all of a sudden developed a conscious about cold-blooded murder*. I mean, they’ll wring their hands in despair over the fact that Tillman was murdered yet they won’t think twice or even bat an eye over all the innocent lives he snuffed out.
Even funnier (in a sick, non-haha way) is how the current President exclaims his shock and his quote-unquote “outrage” over the murder of a person who could, perhaps, be described as a serial killer, yet doesn’t express even the slightest regret over all the lives this person took. And, in addition to that, he’s friends with one of this countries most-wanted “domestic terrorists”, who routinely targeted more people — innocent people, mind you — than this anti-abortion killer ever did. Apparently, though, the zany and whacky antics of pal Bill Ayers doesn’t quite register on the Obama Offense-ometer (Ayer’s targets weren’t liberals, so that makes it ok, I guess), but this does.
As I said, there’s no excuse for someone to go out and kill anyone they disagree with politically, but then again, I’d also suggest that there’s no excuse to be murdering innocent children, either. The killer should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If he’s found guilty, then that certainly means the possibility of the death penalty.
Just my two cents.
*Pardon me, that’s not exactly fair. The left does have a problem with murder, so I stand corrected. They have a problem with murder when it’s done to someone who shares their political beliefs. Those who don’t? Eh, screw ‘em. Am I right, Kos?
