FOX HOSTS APPARENTLY GOT THE MEMO THAT THE RIGHT WAS GOING
INTO FULL ON DEFENSE MODE OVER THEIR TACIT SUPPORT AND
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ANTIABORTION EXTREMISM. AND I KNOW THAT,
BECAUSE ON FOX NEWS LAST NIGHT ALL OF THE MAJOR HOSTS, ALL OF
THE MAJOR SHOWS, WERE INCREDIBLY DEFENSIVE ABOUT THEIR RHETORIC,
THE LEFT'S ATTACKS ON THEIR RHETORIC, AND THEY TRIED TO DO A
BIT OF JUJITSU AND TURN IT AROUND ON THE LEFT, SAYING
PERHAPS THEY ARE ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST CHRISTIANS.
THE FIRST ONE IS MEGYN KELLY, SHE IS INCREDIBLY DEFENSIVE.
CARLY FIORINA, WHO SAID FALSELY THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD
WAS GUILTY OF HARVESTING A LIVE BABY'S ORGANS, ISN'T THIS
KIND OF RHETORIC FUELING THESE MENTALLY UNBALANCED PEOPLE
TO ACT?
IT WAS THE RHETORIC. CHRIS, IT HAS TO BE THE RHETORIC THAT
DROVE THE GUY WHO WAS ENGAGING IN ANIMAL TORTURE TO COMMIT THIS
ACT. IS THIS NOT EVIDENCE OF THE BIAS IN SOME OF THESE REPORTERS
WHO ARE ON THE PRO-CHOICE SIDE AND THINK ANY EXPRESSION OF THE
ANTIABORTION, THE PRO-LIFE STANCE, IS ANGRY RHETORIC? IF
YOU USE THE TERM BABY KILLERS, WHICH THE PRO-LIFE PEOPLE
BELIEVE ABORTION IS, THAT IS HATEFUL RHETORIC AND THEY WANT
TO SHUT IT DOWN.
THAT IS THE HATEFUL RHETORIC THEY WANT TO PIN THIS CRIME ON.
PLUS I LOVE THAT. ANY EXPRESSION IS HATEFUL.
YOU KNOW, ANY EXPRESSION.
LIKE THEY ARE KILLING MILLIONS OF BABIES AND YOU SHOULD
STOP THEN.
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT?
HERE IS THE RHETORIC, I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE ABORTION.
YOU CAN SAY THAT. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SAY THAT. IF MEGYN
KELLY SAID THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SHOW I WOULD THINK THAT
IS REASONABLE. BUT WHEN YOU GO ON EVERY SHOW NIGHT AFTER NIGHT,
THEY ARE BABY KILLERS, THEY ARE CHOPPING UP BABIES, SELLING
BABIES, AND CARLY FIORINA, BY THE WAY, FOR SOME REASON MEGYN
KELLY DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO SAY THIS, WAS LYING. THAT WAS A
MISCARRIAGE BABY IN THOSE EDITED TAPES. WHEN YOU SAY THOSE SORTS
OF THINGS, WHEN YOU SAY THEY ARE MURDERING MILLIONS OF BABIES,
THAT IS THE SORT OF RHETORIC THAT IS HATEFUL AND WE HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH.
I DON'T THINK FOX NEWS OR ANY RIGHT-WING PUNDIT HAS THE
INTENTION TO INCITE VIOLENCE, TO RILE PEOPLE UP TO THE POINT
WHERE THEY ACTUALLY CARRY OUT VIOLENT ACTS, LIKE WHAT THIS GUY
DID. HOWEVER, WHAT THE MEDIA DOES -- AND THIS IS GENERALLY
SPEAKING, NOT JUST FOX, A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEDIA OUTLETS -- FEAR
SELLS. FEAR MONGERING WORKS WELL, AND WHEN YOU USE A CERTAIN
LANGUAGE AND YOU USE FEAR TACTICS AND YOU RILE PEOPLE UP,
YOUR RATES GO UP, PEOPLE PAY CLOSER ATTENTION. NOT DOING
SENSATIONALISTIC NEWS IS THE ETHICAL, CORRECT THING TO DO.
HOWEVER, SENSATIONALIST NEWS GETS THE EYEBALLS. THAT IS WHAT
PEOPLE LIKE TO LOOK AT. SO WHEN FOX NEWS USES THE KIND OF
RHETORIC THEY DO, MAYBE THEY DON'T INTEND ON INCITING
VIOLENCE, BUT IT DOES LEAD SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHINGED TO
HEAR THE WORDS BABY KILLER OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND FEEL THE NEED
TO ENGAGE IN VIGILANTE JUSTICE. AND THAT IS HAPPENING NOW. AM I
GOING TO PINPOINT BILL O'REILLY OR MEGYN KELLY AND SAY THEY
SHOULD BE PROSECUTED BECAUSE THEY ARE INCITING VIOLENCE AND
THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WE NEED TO DEAL WITH? NO, BUT I DO THINK
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO LOOK AT OUR RHETORIC AND SEE WHAT KIND
OF IMPACT IT HAS ON SOCIETY. IF WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE AN
OPEN DIALOGUE ABOUT WHAT THE REALITY IS, IT SHOWS YOU HOW
CLOSE MINDED THEY ARE. FIRST OF ALL, PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS NOT
AN ORGANIZATION THAT KILLS BABIES. THEY PROVIDE MANY HEALTH
SERVICES TO WOMEN, AND ABORTION IS 3% OF WHAT THEY DO. THEY ARE
NOT KILLING BABIES. YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS LIFE AT THE MOMENT
OF CONCEPTION, I DISAGREE. I DON'T THINK IT IS. THAT IS A
HUGE DISAGREEMENT IN THE COUNTRY. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
OR NOT WE DISAGREE, AT THIS POINT THE SUPREME COURT HAS
RULED THAT ABORTION IS LEGAL, WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRACTICE
THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN DON'T
PRACTICE ABORTION. DON'T DO ABORTION, DON'T HAVE
CONTRACEPTIVES, DON'T DO WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE BASED ON YOUR
RELIGION. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU GET TO GO ON NATIONAL
TELEVISION AND START ACCUSING AN ORGANIZATION OF KILLING BABIES
TO THE POINT WHERE UNHINGED INDIVIDUALS LIKE MR. DEAR GO OUT
AND KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. THIS IS NOT A RARITY, THIS IS NOT AN
ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT'S NOT LIKE THIS HAPPENED ONCE AND LIBERALS
ARE LIKE OH MY GOD, LOOK AT FOX NEWS, WE HAVE TO TARGET THEM. THIS
HAPPENED OVER AND OVER.
MULTIPLE ATTACKS.
SINCE THE CENTER FOR MEDICAL PROGRESS RELEASED THEIR
SO-CALLED STING VIDEOS, WHICH WERE EDITED AND DEFAMATORY, FOUR
OTHER PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAVE BEEN TARGETED, VANDALIZED,
THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE HERE AND WE NEED TO HAVE A
DISCUSSION.
THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE BEING CRAZY PEOPLE, BUT IF
THERE ARE CRAZY MOUNTAIN MEN CHRISTIANS WHO ARE READY TO GET
RILED UP ABOUT ABORTION, AND YOU GO OUT THERE EVERY DAY AND YOU
SAY BABY PARTS AND BABY KILLERS, WHEN THEY COMMIT THE ACT AND
THEY ARE RAMBLING ABOUT BABY PARTS, MAYBE FEEL A LITTLE BIT OF
REMORSE, MAYBE GO 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU ATTACK THAT
ORGANIZATION. BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. SHE WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE HATEFUL RHETORIC THE LEFT IS
ALWAYS ATTACKING, IMPLYING THAT IT IS RARE, THAT IT IS NOT
PARTICULARLY HATEFUL.
JAYAR HAS PUT TOGETHER A MONTAGE OF WHAT SOME OF THAT
ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO STOP ABORTION?
REQUIRE THAT EACH ONE OCCUR WITH A GUN.
NOT ONCE DID ANYBODY IN THE ELITE MEDIA ASK WHY BARACK OBAMA
VOTED IN FAVOR OF LEGALIZING INFANTICIDE.
IF PEOPLE CAN COME UP WITH A REASONABLE EXPIRATION OF
WHY THEY WOULD LIKE TO KILL A BABY --
YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK GOD WHY HE DIDN'T KILL THEM. I'M NOT IN
CHARGE OF THE DEATH OR LIFE OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES. IT IS
IN GOD'S HANDS, WHETHER THEY LIVE A LONG LIFE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AS A STATE SENATOR VOTED TO PROTECT DOCTORS
WHO KILLED BABIES WHO SURVIVED ABORTIONS.
RAPE AND INCEST?
RAPE AND INCEST, I WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF KILLING A BABY.
AND ABORTION DOESN'T UNRAPE A WOMAN, IT JUST ADDS MORE
VIOLENCE ON TOP OF THAT FIRST VIOLENCE SHE ENDURED.
ON THE RAPE THING, IT IS LIKE, HOW DOES PUTTING MORE
VIOLENCE ONTO A WOMAN'S BODY AND TAKING THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT
CHILD THAT IS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE CRIME, HOW DOES THAT
MAKE IT BETTER?
IN THE LAST CASE SCENARIO YOU WOULD USE DEADLY FORCE TO
STOP AN ABORTION?
IF THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE, THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED TO
PROTECT THE CITIZEN.
SOME OF THOSE VIDEOS, I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT OR NEVER SAW.
THE WAY TO STOP ABORTION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS DONE
WITH A GUN?
IS HE SAYING YOU SHOULD SHOOT WOMEN IN THE STOMACH TO
PERFORM ABORTIONS?
THAT'S NOT VIOLENT RHETORIC.
OR ROBERTSON SAYING MAYBE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES GET
ASSASSINATED, MAYBE THEY DON'T. IT IS IN GOD'S HANDS. WINK.
THAT IS INSANITY.
HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED BASED ON THAT.
YOU CAN'T ADVOCATE FOR THE ASSASSINATION OF SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES, OR SAY MAYBE IT HAPPENS, I HAVE THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
THAT VIDEO MONTAGE STIRRED UP SO MUCH ANGER WITHIN ME. I WILL
TRY TO CALMLY EXPLAIN MY VIEWPOINT ON THIS. THOSE
STATEMENTS CAME FROM THE SAME INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AGAINST
PROVIDING HEALTHCARE TO AMERICANS. IT CAME FROM THE SAME
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AGAINST FOOD STAMPS AND GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS
THAT HELP THE POOR TO ENSURE THEY STAY ALIVE, AND STAY
HEALTHY. THOSE SAME STATEMENTS CAME FROM PEOPLE WHO DENY OUR
VETERANS, THE SAME GROUPS THEY ARE CURRENTLY TALKING ABOUT
SUPPORTING, BASICALLY DENYING THEM MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND
THINGS THAT WOULD HELP THEM INTEGRATE BACK INTO SOCIETY AS
HEALTHY HUMAN BEINGS. THESE ARE THE PRO-LIFERS THAT ARE MAKING
THESE STRONG, VIOLENT STATEMENTS TOWARD WOMEN WHO CHOOSE TO
PRACTICE THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, OR PEOPLE IN GENERAL WHO
CHOOSE TO SUPPORT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. THIS IS NOT ABOUT LIFE.
IF THEY CARED ABOUT LIFE, THEY WOULD GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF AMERICANS THAT ARE LIVING AND BREATHING
TODAY. BUT THEY CONTINUOUSLY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PROTECT THE
LIVES OF CORPORATIONS, THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN THE
COUNTRY, THE WHITEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY, AND THAT'S ALL THAT
MATTERS TO THEM. THE ONLY TIME THE ISSUE OF ABORTION EVER COMES
UP, AND YOU WILL NOTICE THIS PATTERN, IS WHEN THERE IS A
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COMING AROUND. WHEN THERE IS AN
ELECTION, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THESE BABIES.
YOU CAN'T KILL ANY BABIES. IT IS FOR POLITICAL FUCKING GAIN, THAT
IS ALL IT'S ABOUT. POLITICAL GAIN. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT
LIVES. SO THEY TARGET PLANNED PARENTHOOD WITH HIS VIOLENT
RHETORIC, AND AS SOON AS SOME CRAZY, UNHINGED PERSON CARRIES
OUT AN ACT OF VIOLENCE, WHAT? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM. THAT
IS NOT US. YOU CAN'T KEEP TALKING, SAYING BABY KILLER,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO THAT, CRAZY PEOPLE WILL CARRY OUT ACTS OF
VIOLENCE. THAT IS VIOLENT RHETORIC, AND YOUR VIOLENT
RHETORIC TRANSLATES TO VIOLENT ACTIONS. IF YOU DON'T GET THAT,
YOU ARE EITHER IN DENIAL OR YOU KNOW IT IS TRUE AND YOU DON'T
WANT TO ADMIT IT.
IT SHOWS THEY DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT BABIES, BECAUSE THEY
ONLY CARE ABOUT IT WHEN ELECTIONS COME AROUND. AND THIS
LAST INSTANCE SHOWS AS THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT COP LIVES
EITHER. THEY DON'T SEEM THAT CONCERNED ABOUT COPS BEING
KILLED. IN OTHER CASES WHEN COPS ARE KILLED, THEY DO SEEM TO
CARE. IN THIS CASE IT IS ALL ABOUT PROTECTING THEMSELVES. AND
TO GO BACK TO MEGYN KELLY'S THING, SHE SAYS, THEY ARE SAYING
THAT THE RHETORIC LED HIM TO DO IT. AS IF HOURS AND HOURS EVERY
DAY OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION AND PERSUASION CAN'T DO
ANYTHING. IF YOU DON'T THINK IT CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, WHAT
HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS CAREER FOR? ALSO, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT
TERRORISM AND WHY TERRORISTS DO WHAT THEY DO, THEY ARE ALWAYS
SAYING IT IS THESE MULLAHS, THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCHES. HOW
COULD THEY POSSIBLY BE RESPONSIBLE, THEY ARE JUST USING
RHETORIC? THAT IS WHAT CONVINCES PEOPLE TO DO SHIT. WHEN YOU TELL
THEM THEY ARE BABY KILLERS, THEY ARE CHOPPING UP AND KILLING BABY
PARTS, THAT IS TO SPUR THEM INTO ACTION, TO GO VOTE? NO, OF
COURSE IF THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU, AND YOU KNOW THEY DO,
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN THEIR CHRISTIAN HOLY BOOKS AS MUCH AS
CRAZY FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN THEIRS, THEY ARE NOT
JUST GOING TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE BASED ON IT. SOME OF
THEM ARE GOING TO PICK UP THEIR GUNS THAT YOU HAVE MADE EASILY
ACCESSIBLE AND THEY WILL TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE TO ME.
