Hyperbole Alert…

As the mainstream anti-abortion movement attempts to distance itself from its most extreme supporters following the shooting of Dr George Tiller in Kansas, attention is again focusing on its role in creating a climate in which the killers come to believe they murder for the good of society.

Huh…?

How come that the Left is currently whining about a ‘climate of fear’ on this, when previous attempts by others to point out that aggressive rap music isn’t exactly fostering a climate of tolerance and resolving issues through dialogue gets pooh-poohed as ‘racist’ and ‘culturally ignorant’?

And how come no-one wants to talk about 'root causes' or claim that this is one deranged man and therefore not representative of his religion (if he does turn out to be doing this from a religious standpoint)?

It’s almost like they are making the rules up as they go along, isn’t it?

And their definition of ‘extreme’ doesn’t stand up to scrutiny either:

Some have been linked to the Lambs of Christ and the Army of God, Christian groups which advocate violence. But even mainstream organisations, such as Operation Save America, have resorted to extreme tactics including distributing "wanted" posters for a doctor who was later murdered.

Oh, noes! A poster! How extreme!

And we must keep the language civil, at all costs:

All of this takes place against a backdrop of vilification on mainstream television and radio that helps make doctors such as Tiller a target. The popular Fox News talk show host, Bill O'Reilly, regularly called him "Tiller the Killer" and described his clinic as a "death-mill".

Technically, he isn’t wrong, though. Is he…?

But then, the 'Guardian' doesn't want to look at the service this particular doctor offered too hard. And when you do, you can see why...
