Video: Full, unedited Crowder video of Lansing union protest

posted at 12:11 pm on December 20, 2012 by Ed Morrissey

We’ve already written about the assault on an AFP tent that took place in Lansing two weeks ago over the right-to-work legislation that has now become law in Michigan, and the attack on my friend Steven Crowder.  After the video of the attack first appeared, Steven’s critics insisted that he had edited the videotape to either make the union protesters look bad or hide evidence of his own provocative behavior.  In response, Steven has released all of his raw video footage of the protests that day.  Res ispa loquitur:

Steven asks in a panel in this video why we don’t see union protesters taking video of their demonstration, while the RTW demonstrators had multiple cameras rolling during the protest.  It’s a good question.

In the abortion debate today, you’re either unashamedly Pro-Life, Pro-Choice with the ‘rare’ exceptions of rape, incest or (real) harm to mother, or Pro-Abortion on demand for any reason at any time for any woman. President Obama is Pro-Abortion, based on his voting record. Somebody should ask him about those children’s lives and why they don’t have the same value as the children gunned down at Newtown. He should be answerable for his voting record, right?

And if I’m reading Farhi correctly, he’s only looking at the print magazines, not the online versions – which, as we all know, generate a lot more material, day in and day out, than the print versions of our magazines.

Which is why traditional media is as dead as a baby born at Gosnell’s clinic.

Even if true the excuse would still essentially be, “I know you are but what am I?”

You couldn’t so much as turn on the tv or leave your house without 24/7 carpet-bombing of the Newtown shooting being smashed into your face. Even watching sports coverage would bring some jackwads comment about Newtown and what it meant for this or that sport.

Yes, libtards, the conservative alternative media has been covering the trial. They’re just regurgitating their Media Matters talking points without lifting a finger to confirm the veracity of those claims. For example, last week a bunch of lefty morons went after The Five because that show criticized the media blackout over the Gosnell trial despite never having done a single segment on it themselves. But anyone who’s paying attention knows damn well that FoxNews itself has done countless stories on Gosnell’s trial, rendering the entire allegation from MMFA and the rest of the Democrat/media complex irrelevant.

The shame and blame lays squarely on the shoulders of those that support infanticide, known as abortion. obama shed crocidile tears for Newtown, where are his tears for what happened in Philly and in every other aborion clinic around the world. There will be none because he has no soul, he is his own god…..He can just go golfing or on another vacation or party it down to salve whatever soul he does have….

WTG, Ed and Hot Air!

Our trolls will say the largely-silent LSM have been covering the story properly, while at the same time saying HA is sensationalizing it.

Liam on April 15, 2013 at 10:12 AM

Even if Fahri’s claims weren’t so dishonest his argument is nothing but tu quoque. Weak.

forest on April 15, 2013 at 10:14 AM

I’ll just remind people that Headline News, a CNN station, has been running wall-to-wall coverage of sensational cases (like the Jodi Arias case) for years now.

If there’s nothing more sensational that a doctor killing babies by snipping their spinal cords, all while doing it in filthy conditions, with women suffering from dangerous after-care (to the point where at least one died), then I’m clueless as to what is.

Nethicus on April 15, 2013 at 10:17 AM

NY Times ran Abu Ghraib on Page 1 47 times, including for 32 consecutive days.

But this story is “sensationalistic”.

So the MSM that spiked a story that didn’t fit the narrative has managed to make headlines by still not reporting on the story but, rather the fact that conservatives are not reporting on the story.
Got it. Conservatives are at fault and always will be no matter the truth.

Keep spreading the truth Ed, let the LSM wallow in the depths of hell when the time comes.

Prolife liberal? Sorry, isn’t such a thing. You vote for the people
Who believe in murder so you are an accomplice in my book.

wtf?? how would that be “pro-choice?” it IS rare. over 99% of abortion cases do not involve those circumstances. so if someone wanted abortion to be mostly illegal except legal in those cases, calling them “pro-choice” is a mistake and actual pro-choicers would just laugh. that’s my position too and i still call myself “pro-life” just like many other pro-lifers who have the same position.

women who were raped and still have their child, or face a health threat and still have the child, are heroes to me and i have posted people like that on my blog. i do want to spread the word that there are raped women who had a child and were happy about it. but i wouldn’t go as far as to make it a law that abortions absolutely must not happen in those situations. i can’t say “i wouldn’t have an abortion if i were in that situation” because i haven’t been in that situation. it’s easy for anyone to say “i wouldn’t do that” but it doesn’t take any courage to say those words when those things are not actually happening to you. so don’t tell me “i wouldn’t do it.”

besides, the pro-life cause already has enough difficulties trying to get people to believe that those over 99% of abortions are bad. if we start trying to convince people that 100% of abortions are bad, that will make people resist us even more than they already are. going all-or-nothing is not going to work. look at the laws republicans are passing in various states. they don’t ban 100% or even 99% of abortions, but they are stopping some abortions, and that’s better than nothing.

Sachiko on April 15, 2013 at 11:28 AM

lol at people who are trying to say that that conservative media missed this story too. if conservative media missed the story then how do conservatives know about it in the first place? XD such simple logic.

i knew about this story back in 2011. some lib journalists are saying they just heard about it recently. i’ve thought about it, and i’m honestly not sure whether they are lying or not.

Sachiko on April 15, 2013 at 11:38 AM

The Weekly Standard and the National Review, two leading conservative magazines, for example, hadn’t published anything on the trial

That isn’t exactly their type of story. It makes as much sense as chiding Highlights for Children for their lack of reporting on the trial.

Happy Nomad on April 15, 2013 at 11:51 AM

Pro football player kills girlfriend…national news with wall-to-wall coverage. Doctor murders hundreds of babies, in conditions the USDA would find unsuitable for a slaughterhouse…crickets.

Every time I read anything about this Gosnell creep, I get the same feeling that I did when I read a book about H.H. Holmes and the Chicago World’s Fair murders.

Del Dolemonte on April 15, 2013 at 10:25 AM

Good reminder.

I think any sane person would rather have been mistreated by U.S. soldiers in Abu Ghraib than be one of those babies or women slaughtered in Gosnell’s House of Horrors.

No U.S. soldier kept an Abu Ghraib prisoner’s severed hands or feet in a trophy jar, like Gosnell did with little baby hands and feet.

ITguy on April 15, 2013 at 12:15 PM

Did conservative media miss the Gosnell story, too?

Before we get to that, is there any conservative media?

Yes, there’s Hot Air and the blogs, but how “mainstream” is that? You know, where the people with short attention spans might actually see it?

The only thing that could be remotely conservative is Fox and even then that’s pushing it.

The premise fails. There really is no mainstream “conservative” news outlet. Once again, the idiot media has built a strawman in order to avoid their culpability.
