Video: Blogger forced to defend tool who smeared his site just last week

posted at 9:29 pm on June 1, 2009 by Allahpundit

In case you were wondering what I meant yesterday about blogs being more insufferable than usual this week, witness the lefty campaign today to lay George Tiller’s death at O’Reilly’s feet. As John McCormack at the Standard points out, anti-torture advocates have leveled plenty of similarly harsh attacks on the Bush administration. Anyone think the left would be doing any navel-gazing had some wayward Kossack bought a gun and shot Donald Rumsfeld, say, in the face? Cranks behaving crankishly is the tragic price one pays in a country that respects freedom of speech. Had any liberal taken the endless comparisons between Bush and Hitler seriously, or taken one too many Olbermann exhortations about Republican “fascism” to heart, and fired a weapon, we’d be endlessly reminded that passionate criticism is a core First Amendment value. As it is, we’re being told O’Reilly’s an accomplice to murder, even though the guy who pulled the trigger was arrested for playing around with exposives as far back as 13 years ago. Kudos to BillO for not whitewashing Tiller’s record, notwithstanding the contempt any right-thinking person has for the gutless cretin who murdered him.

While I’m personally opposed to killing Tiller, I certainly wouldn’t want to force my morality on anybody. That’d be so judgemental.

Hey, Lox… Long time!

Upstater85 on June 1, 2009 at 11:20 PM

It’s absolutely not irresponsible for BOR or anyone else to challenge people like Tiller. starfleet, control your inner fascist. And don’t give me this crap about responsible speech, as defined by leftards. That’s censureship. You don’t get to decide what people can and cannot talk about. With all the first amendment law in this country, get a clue.

Blake on June 1, 2009 at 11:21 PM

what the hell is .001 percent??

doriangrey on June 1, 2009 at 11:18 PM

Apparently a statistical flicker…

How many orders of magnitude lower is it than 1.4?

Upstater85 on June 1, 2009 at 11:21 PM

Finally, if roughly 50% of Americans are Pro-life (~150K), then how many of them have inflicted violence onto said practitioners of death? I’m thinking something around 1.4% or less…

Upstater85 on June 1, 2009 at 11:19 PM

Don’t confuse the tool with logic.

He is pro-abortion. Notice how few stats he puts out their regarding the real victims.

CWforFreedom on June 1, 2009 at 11:21 PM

1.4% is what qualifies as rare to me.

This makes no sense. Even 1.4% is not rare when we are speaking in the millions. Even more sad is that the percentage of late term abortions is even higher than the percentage of abortions that are actually performed for rape/incest/life of the mother reasons.

That said, Tiller’s killer needs to be tried and punished to the full extent of the law. No true pro-life advocate can support the murder of any individual, in support of their cause, no matter who it is.

The cynical part of me wonders what the liberal reaction will be if the killer receives the death sentence.

Math is hard.

How about 150 million and 1 thousandth of a percent?

Loxodonta on June 1, 2009 at 11:25 PM

Again, third-trimester abortions are rare. Comparisons with the number of abortion providers who have been killed are beside that point.

starfleet_dude on June 1, 2009 at 11:05 PM

To put the whole thing into the correct context, for how may third trimester abortions was Tiller himself responsible?

The ratio here is important, for it certainly would play into the mindset of Tiller’s murderer, and is germain to the little discussion you are having about ratios generally.

It’s more like a lot of hits come up in association with Bill O’Reilly and his many on-air hits on Tiller.

starfleet_dude on June 1, 2009 at 11:15 PM

Can you please tell me the ratio of babies killed by Tiller to the number of mentions by Tiller by O’Reilly. That would be an interesting statistic. Or perhaps better would be the number of times Tiller was shot over the number of mentions by O’Reilly.

I’m just trying to be helpful here.

coyoterex on June 1, 2009 at 11:23 PM

Good question, as a pro-life person I appose the death penalty, even in this case and not because he killed Dr. Tiller, but because you cannot reverse the death penalty.

Hats off to you, Allah, and great credit to O’Reilly for a shot well played. Principle is always impressive, but your play here moves beyond, which is why most of us are here.

Jaibones on June 1, 2009 at 11:28 PM

Kudos to BillO for not whitewashing Tiller’s record, notwithstanding the contempt any right-thinking person has for the gutless cretin who murdered him.

I take your point, Allah, but I think it was reckless of O’Reilly to spotlight Tiller in the way he did. Unlike judges who give light sentences to child molesters and the other outrages O’Reilly showcases on his show, abortion providers have been targeted and murdered in the past. And the world is full of lunatics, as we all know.

O’Reilly isn’t to blame for this tragedy, obviously, but I don’t think he deserves “kudos” for anything, much less for using Tiller’s death as an opportunity to remind viewers why he thought Tiller was a really bad guy.

doriangrey on June 1, 2009 at 11:35 PM

That’s your argument, where in the constitution does it say that the government can’t try to save GM?

Article I, Section 8 specifies the powers granted to Congress.
Article II, Section 2 specifies the powers granted to the President.
Neither section grants any authority to support, bail out or take over any private entity.

You ask the wrong question. The Constitution doesn’t grant the government power to do anything except what’s forbidden. It grants the government power to do nothing except what’s permitted.
The Constitution grants the government “enumerated powers”. That means it states what the government is allowed to do, and that is all that it is allowed to do.

This is what I want to know… even if one thinks there should be some forms of abortion allowed… how does one justify late term abortions? Let’s not allow for those events that are say less than 1.4% of the time… gotta play by starfleet’s rules…

starfleet_dude on June 1, 2009 at 11:05 PM

Hey, great analysis. Tiller murdered over 250 near-term babies in 2003 alone. As O’Reilly’s story indicates, he claimed to do this “for women”, but earned over $1 million a year killing viable babies at the request of their mothers.

Rare, my ass.

Can’t say I blame you. My experience has not been a pleasant one. Shows are fun, but club owners suck. Recording people are looking to shaft you.

blatantblue on June 2, 2009 at 12:16 AM

It’s an incredibly brutal industry where only 2 percent of the acts signed recover the cost of production. It’s not so much as they are trying to screw you as it is… a business with a very high overhead cost to profit ratio.

I gave up on finding Hornet Sting about 3 weeks ago. No use. Finding her in the HotAir FB group is like climbing up a slide covered in baby oil. Not happening.

That sounds like fun. ;)

No secret that O’Reilly is pro-life/anti-abortion and that he detested this ‘doctor’. Like I’ve said before, BOR will surely tick you off from time to time and he does have flashes of narcissism, but I still appreciate his conservative voice and bringing up a lot of stuff the MSM won’t.

Dr. ZhivBlago on June 2, 2009 at 12:32 AM

So much for the O’Reilly smear campaign…..

Mr Purple on June 2, 2009 at 12:35 AM

bill o is someone who is 90% right and 10% stupid, arrogant and wrong.

That’s better than anyone else in the MSM.

TTheoLogan on June 2, 2009 at 1:33 AM

O’Reilly is an arrogant blowhard but in the big picture he is one of the good guys.

infidel4life on June 2, 2009 at 1:44 AM

The cynical part of me wonders what the liberal reaction will be if the killer receives the death sentence.

This word, “extreme,” is bandied about like a hot potato no one wants to hold on to. Lost in the hue and cry is the question of whether what is being said is actually correct.

gryphon202 on June 2, 2009 at 2:15 AM

Wouldn’t merely blinding the doctor have ended his career without having to end his life?

Killing to stop a legal medical procedure’s practitioner is as crude a late term abortions.

May Tiller’s killer join his victim.

Homicidal vigilantes are scum.

Those using them to score political points are meta-scum.

Kos, Huffingon, et al.

profitsbeard on June 2, 2009 at 2:36 AM

I take your point, Allah, but I think it was reckless of O’Reilly to spotlight Tiller in the way he did. Unlike judges who give light sentences to child molesters and the other outrages O’Reilly showcases on his show,

Infidoll on June 1, 2009 at 11:29 PM

O’R might be annoying, but, he is a “reporter” like many other editorial “reporters.” He infuses his comments with his opinion but this does not negate the facts nor the need for them. When the MSM refuses to do their job, it is a blessed thing to have someone who will.

America revolves (or did) around personal responsibility, accountability and human nature. Our founders built this nation on a solid moral consensus for a moral people, thus the reason for so little government and so much relative peace. When the people cease from being inwardly moral, the consensus has shifted and you have anarchy which will be ruled (must be ruled) by something. There was a day when no one would dare to do what Tiller DID, let alone his own killer, but this lawlessness began long before Tiller began his own practice. O’R is doing a thankless job, as are the bloggers on this site, in a society which is crumbling under it’s own moral bankruptcy.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Tiller was a monster killer and his death was inevitable, but, Tiller was allowed to practice this evil by an equally lawless state. Honest reporters do what they can.

I am convinced if we want real societal change we must have a Christian consensus again. Obviously, this will not happen. :o) So, I just pray that I will be strong in the persecution to come as God allows it.

Mommypundit on June 2, 2009 at 6:53 AM

While I’m personally opposed to killing Tiller, I certainly wouldn’t want to force my morality on anybody. That’d be so judgemental.

edshepp on June 1, 2009 at 11:19 PM

Um. Do you disagree with the whole justice system then? Why does it enforce the law if not to force a standard of morality on everyone.

shick on June 2, 2009 at 7:08 AM

It is crazy to blame someone like Bill O’Reilley for the murder of Tiller. The man who did this thing has a long history with Tiller and people like him. He did not need any help.

The hypocricy of the left never ceases to amaze me.

If Obama had released those photos and soldiers had been killed or even innocent civilians…would they have felt responsible for encouraging the release? No of course not. They would have just blamed Bush.

Hypocrites.

Terrye on June 2, 2009 at 7:09 AM

The 1000s of late term abortions Tiller committed are okay.
But the post-term abortion of Tiller himself was not sanctioned by the courts.

TheSitRep on June 2, 2009 at 7:38 AM

See this then, mankai:

In 1994 my wife and I found out that she was pregnant. The pregnancy was difficult and unusually uncomfortable but her doctor repeatedly told her things were fine. Sometime early in the 8th month my wife, an RN who at the time was working in an infertility clinic asked the Dr. she was working for what he thought of her discomfort. He examined her and said that he couldn’t be certain but thought that she might be having twins. We were thrilled and couldn’t wait to get a new sonogram that hopefully would confirm his thoughts. Two days later our joy was turned to unspeakable sadness when the new sonogram showed conjoined twins. Conjoined twins alone is not what was so difficult but the way they were joined meant that at best only one child would survive the surgery to separate them and the survivor would more than likely live a brief and painful life filled with surgery and organ transplants. We were advised that our options were to deliver into the world a child who’s life would be filled with horrible pain and suffering or fly out to Wichita Kansas and to terminate the pregnancy under the direction of Dr. George Tiller.

starfleet_dude on June 1, 2009 at 10:02 PM

Oh yes, better to kill both of them than give them the dignity of a dying a natural death. And bonus? The parents don’t have to deal with the pain of seeing them die.

Malarkey. Also, what kind of horrid prenatal care was this woman getting, that it took 8 months before the doctor discovered she was having conjoined twins?

Sorry, this is straight up murder. They consciously chose to end their children’s lives in a supposed act of “humanity.” This was not for the children’s benefit, it was for the benefit of the parents and a boon to Tiller’s purse.

citrus on June 2, 2009 at 8:08 AM

… abortion providers have been targeted and murdered in the past. And the world is full of lunatics, as we all know.

Infidoll on June 1, 2009 at 11:29 PM

There has been a total of approximately eight abortionists targeted or attacked or killed in the past 30 years since Roe v Wade, yet the Media and uninformed individuals, including abortion choicers, exaggerate the danger and the “violence” and choose to paint Right to Life advocates/choicers as evil, violent terrorists who hate women and want to force women to have babies against their will.

Right! That’s why Right to Lifers have “Force women to have babies against their will” clinics throughout the world, millions of them, and that is why Right to Life choicers kidnap thousands of women per day and rape them and force them to become pregnant and have babies and raise babies, all against their will.

The entire idea is absurd, and a false claim made by misguided, uninformed abortion choicers, baby inside the womb haters, selfish individuals who think that their personal comfort and convenience is more important than the life of an innocent human being, one whose right to live is stolen with the simple act of hire a hitman, the abortionist and his staff, to slaughter a person before they have a chance to live and love, and without proper legal rights to defend him or herself against their cruel, unjust execution.

No, Right to Lifers are not violent, dangerous individuals, and not all of the small cases of violence targeting abortionists has been executed by “Pro-lifers,” another myth perpetrated by the sleeping-on-the job media who don’t even check their facts before shooting off their foul mouths, spewing their diarrhea of the mouth, stinking up the place.

If we were so violent, there would not be a single abortuary standing, not a stone standing upon a stone, and not a single abortionist or abortion clinic staff member alive today, nor would there be a “journalist” working for any media outlet who distorts the Right to Life point of view while favoring the abortion choicers’ point of view, who would be alive today. In fact, there wouldn’t be a single Hollywood-entertainment industry pro-abort loud mouth, comedian, rapper, musician, etc., who would be drawing breath today had the Pro-life movement been violent.

With millions of pro-lifers there are virtually zero cases of violence, yet the media and leftists and pro-aborts capitalize on any and all cases they can dig up and exaggerate that in their presentation of “news” to the people.

In the mean time, numerous of cases of violence against women inside abortuaries is ignored, as are the cases of coerced abortions in which women are forced against their will to abort, and women are harassed, beaten, and even murdered if they do not abort.

Of course there is more, such as abortuary personnel running down pro-lifers with their cars, abortion advocates attacking and beating senior citizens who are protesting abortion, and more.

No, the abortion clinics have a great deal of blood on their hands to go with their lies, distortions, and hatred.

Let’s not forget the millions of innocent babies butchered via chemical abortions, in which they are burned alive, or abortions in which the baby is cut to pieces, pulled apart, or even induced to birth and slaughtered on the way out of the womb.

This is the abortion industry, violent, dishonest, and hate filled, but you’d never know it based on the Main Stream Media’s selective and bias treatment of the issue.

Let’s be honest and change the word from “abortion providers” to “killers of innocent, defenseless babies.”

Thank you.

William2006 on June 2, 2009 at 8:20 AM

Hard as it may be for some here to believe, I’m not pro-abortion. Then again, I don’t think any woman has one just for the hell of it.

starfleet_dude on June 1, 2009 at 10:50 PM

“just for the hell of it” is not the only unacceptable reason for an abortion. You are rationalizing in a very big way which tells me you’ve somehow had experience with abortion and are trying to mitigate some guilt. Facing truth might help you.

zeebeach on June 2, 2009 at 8:24 AM

Mental issues are a medical reason. Would you rather the baby to be born and abused by a mentally unstable mother? Your mention of putting up the baby for adoption has a flaw, the mother has to agree to do so. The only thing thaqt would bypass the mothers consent in such a case would be documented proof of mental instability severe enough that might cause serious harm to the child in her care. I noticed my original questions are STILL being avoided.

Hick on June 1, 2009 at 10:15 PM

It’s only “flawed” if you don’t take into consideration that the mother is horribly selfish. Hundreds of thousands of couples are on wait lists to adopt. If the left is a bastion of compassion and generosity, why are they so dead set against giving someone the gift of life and the opportunity to be raised by loving parents?

citrus on June 2, 2009 at 8:26 AM

I will wait with breath abated for these same outlets that blamed O’Reilley, Hannity, Rush for the death of Tillman, to blame the Quran, islamists and muslims in general for the murder of the soldier in Arkansas. After all by their logic (or lack thereof) if the death of Tillman could be laid at conservative talk show hosters feet, so must the death of the soldier be laid at the feet of fundamentalist islamofascists.

eaglewingz08 on June 2, 2009 at 8:31 AM

This whole Tiller episode is what happens when do-nothing elected reps refuse to deal with tough issues. Sadly, we can expect more and more radical vigilantes as the Rule of Law gets pushed aside. Selective Enforcement in its place. We’re living in a time when laws are only enforced for purposes of political expediency. DD

Darvin Dowdy on June 2, 2009 at 8:35 AM

Tiller’s allies could care less about his life, as they rally to make some sort of distorted point about the sanctity of the life of this man who has killed scores of thousands of innocents, while he became rich by ignoring their sanctity.

The American people seem to be stuck on something being legal equating to it being sanctioned by God. It takes a brief glance back through history to see how short sighted that type of thinking really is. Tiller’s life will be used as kindling to try to start a fire of support for the continued killing of infants. His legacy will be a flash in the pan, while he receives eternal judgment for what he did with gifts he was given.

It is like the “Infidels” who are not worthy of life unless they convert to Islam or pay the Jizya (Religious tax) in order to submit to Islam as Dihmmies and live. Of the Jews who are considered monkeys, dogs, and pigs, or cousins of monkeys, dogs, and pigs.

It is similar to German propaganda painting Jews as vermin crawling out of the sewer, striking fear and hatred into the hearts of the German population who consequently abandoned any semblance of respect for other human beings who were considered “Jews,” but considered them righteous targets for their insecurities and hatred.

It is like the people who, in the 1930s in Germany, were considered “subhuman,” and “lives unworthy of life.”

It is like the Aborigine of Australia, dark skinned blacks on Continental Africa, and dark skinned Asian of India who were considered not fully human by Darwinists-evolutionists due to their dark skin, showing that they were less “Evolved” from their lower life form cousins.

It is like the Dred Scott v Sanford case, AKA the Dred Scott decision, in which black slaves in the US were considered not fully human, not worthy of rights, not free, but only property.

Of course then we can look back at Mao’s China and the Cultural Revolution in which the educated, professors, physicians, and shop keepers-merchants, were dispensable in order for those more worthy to take control and manifest their destiny. It was nothing for a mob of a few hundred to a few thousand youth to run over to Wong Seen Sang’s Market and take him out and butcher him in the street, or lock up the Ob/Gyns, college professors, and other learned men in prison and barely feed them of offer them drink.

Throughout recent history we can see how absurd previous actions and thoughts were, yet this is continued today in classifying an entire segment of the human race as not worthy of life, not human, or not human enough, all scientifically false, and inaccurate claims, yet worthy and deserving of being discarded and even butchered, exterminated, via abortion, all painted as a sacred right.

There are so many precedents.

Will people ever learn and show respect, or will people continue to call the slaughter of one’s offspring a “Reproductive Right,” when, clearly, killing one’s offspring is not reproductive, but counter to reproduction in that one has already reproduced and they are not complicit in killing their offspring?

Haven’t read many of the above comments, so I may be a day late and a dollar short, but would it be too much to ask for O’reilly to refer to them as “60,000 BABIES”, instead of “60,000 Fetuses”?
