Why doesn't the media report more on this?

[mattskramer]

Why isn’t more of the conservative biased media giving more reports about this? Why doesn’t ABC probe further and find out why he did what he did. He undoubtedly did so because he is a Christian. After all, since the ever-honest web site http://www.pensitoreview.com/2007/04/30/american-rightwing-terrorist-arrested-in-bomb-plot/ says that clinic bombers are tacitly supported by the GOP’s Christian nationalist allies. Anyway, here is the story as finally picked up by ABC.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=3087027

Paul Ross Evans, 27, was charged Friday, April 27, 2007, in Austin, Texas, with use of weapons of mass destruction and the manufacture of explosive material, in connection with an explosive device found earlier this week at an Austin clinic that performs abortions.

There are probably more stories out there but the biased media does not tell us.

We can only conclude that by rightwingers' failure to denounce this act, that right wingers must support Christian terrorists.

You can find a google hit for anything,


Point is there is very little news coverage of Christian terrorists. David Menemey attempted a suicide bombing at a women's clinic last year ON SEPTEMBER 11th - did you hear about it on the news? Of course not. His attack was just as ridiculous as the attack by the doctors in Britain - there was fire but no one was hurt. If he had been a Muslim crashing into a Bible school you can bet everyone in America would have heard about it.

This is just silly. Matts has always tried to create moral relativism between abortion bombings and terror attacks. I'll grant that abortion bombings are terror attacks, difference is, they are condemned by religious across the board. In Catholic, Protestant church pulpits, they are condemned. They are prosecuted.

The Oklahoma bombing got alot of attention and that was a right wing nut bag who did that one.

The number of dead and total destruction of the building made that inevitable. I do think the attempted, usually unsuccessful at abortion clinics do get coverage and do get condemned by those who are made out to be 'supportive' of such, because they are pro-life.

Nope. Nope. That is not enough. Not enough. We need more news outlets giving detail about the story. It is big important news.

Yeah. I can show you many examples where terrorist attacks by militant Islamic terrorists are condemned.

Sure, I guess if by "across the board" you mean only Christian groups which condemn those tactics.

But this http://www.armyofgod.com/ Christian group does not condemn them, in fact, they support clinic bombers. And the www.kkk.com, whose stated purpose is "Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America! ", is also a Christian group which does not condemn folks like Eric Rudolph.


Of course, you will now conveniently dismiss all Christian groups which support Christian terrorism as "not really being Christian", yet continue to maintain that groups like Al Qaeda have gained mainstream acceptance in Islam.

And those types of groups are condemned by those of the larger group. Why do you have a problem with reality? It's not me that says groups like Al Qaeda have gained acceptance my Muslim mainstream, it's polling from those countries and Europe. Not so strong in US, but significant.

As opposed to leftwingers on this board never denouncing, chastising or saying anything bad about any one from the left and their idiotic claims. I guess , using your criteria that means you all support their ignorant ideas.

Yes, except its not my criteria. I learned from Republicans, a couple years ago, that failure to denounce implies support.

Based on your criteria, am I a left-winger?

You are a self declared moderate, when have any for a few years disagreed?

Look outside your comfort zone. Muslims, for the most part, oppose al qaeda.
