Media showing surprising restraint on Dorner’s politics
posted at 10:01 am on February 9, 2013 by Jazz Shaw
Christopher Dorner remains on the loose this weekend, the subject of one of the most intense manhunts of this generation. And the media is covering the story wall to wall with regular updates, interviews with his former friends and public advisories. One of the most important things that all of these talking heads want you to remember is that the now vanished maniac may have very powerful weapons. It’s an important piece of information to be sure, particularly for residents in the affected area. But with many hours of the news cycle to fill and so much background information on the suspect to cover, it still feels as if there’s something missing, doesn’t it?
At Mediaite, Noah Rothman has spotted the discontinuity.
Alleged Los Angeles shooter Christopher Jordan Dorner, influenced by left-leaning media coverage of gun crime in the wake of the Newtown shootings, has virtually paralyzed the City of Angels. Floyd Lee Corkins, a gunman incensed by anti-gay marriage bias after reading articles by the liberal advocacy group Southern Poverty Law Center, took a firearm into the Family Research Council’s headquarters with the intention of killing “as many as possible.” He hoped to smash Chick-fil-A sandwiches in the faces of as many corpses as he could. These shooters were clearly moved by left-wing media, and we should thank every benevolent force in the universe that they were. Had either shooter possessed even a tenuous link to a conservative group, a media-driven hysteria about the malevolent influence of right-wing broadcasters and commentators would be gripping the nation today. Fortunately, when a crazed shooter’s ideology is explicitly and demonstrably left-wing, the media displays admirable restraint about linking a gunman’s politics to their acts of violence.
Motive matters, both in a court of law and in the process which law enforcement employs when tracking down a killer. But in terms of responsibility, I tend to be more in line with Charles Cooke at National Review, who notes that the final responsibility lies with the criminal, not with the media environment they’ve been soaking in. But he also manages to sympathize with those who are quick to note the double standard in play.
That notwithstanding, one can sympathize with the conservatives who jumped at the opportunity to exact revenge on the media, whose complicity in a series of previous rushes to blame “right wing” rhetoric for the actions of killers such as Timothy McVeigh and Jared Loughner — and tendency to presume without evidence that violence must be motivated by phantom “tea party” connections — has been nothing short of shameful. While deploring the tendency of revenge to legitimize the very position that is being criticized, sucking all parties into a useless battle of tu quoque, one can at least forgive the sentiment.
Putting this tendency to one side, there is one area in which vexed conservatives are absolutely correct. There is a whole world of difference between reporting the details of a killer’s manifesto, and accepting the killer’s conceits.
Cooke is correct. In a free society, people have to accept (and assign) responsibility for the actions of the individual to the bad actor in question. If we are to accept that seeing or hearing “bad things” is somehow an excuse for criminal behavior, then the entire battle for responsible citizenship is already lost. We may as well just start banning the production of Grand Theft Auto and confiscating all the DVDs of the Die Hard trilogy if those are accepted as reasonable excuses for mayhem.
But it would be nice, just this one time, to see a bit of that famous “fair and balanced” requirement for professional journalism in this case. Unfortunately, because of the nature of Dorner’s preferences, the fact that he has guns is suddenly far more important than any formative influences which might have helped lead him to this riotous behavior.

What possible sense is there in “aborting” a baby once it is viable? All of the work of pregnancy is over; people already know you were pregnant; so far as I know, no law forces you to keep the baby instead of sending it to social services for adoption. There is no coherent rationale for late-term infanticide except “I just don’t want to deal with it”.
It sounds like there were many cases where the mother was not, in fact, the one making the decision. So, what does the “pro-choice” label really mean?
Bravo.

I never thought I’d see the day Kirsten Powers was more conservative than Megan Kelly.
Fox has become a disgrace. At least Martha is still good.

Can you link to this? I’m gathering and highlighting on my Facebook page. Generating quite a discussion.

If doing calculus was the litmus test of if someone should live or not, wowee, imagine the carnage that would generate.
However, when babies are born, they recognize their mothers. If the doctor whispers in one ear and the mother whispers in the other, they will turn to try to look at the mother. Even if the doctor is a woman, so that the modulation of the voice is not a factor. Same too with the father, if the father was around during the pregnancy. They can hear and recognize familiar sounds when they haven’t been born yet.
If your baby is breach, one technique to try to turn the baby is to shine a flashlight through the skin at the bottom of your tummy. It doesn’t always work, but the reasoning is that their eyes see the light and try to investigate it.
Their brains are working in utero. Even if they aren’t doing calculus.

I’ll wager that the relationship between this fellow Gosnell and madam Holder will soon be covered under Executive Privledge.
Any takers?

I’ve lived a good life, I’m going to volunteer to check out before I have to do anything beyond simple math.

Yes! The right wing should propose laws to lock up every woman and doctor involved in any abortion. Best solution.

The vast majority of adults I’ve ever met in my whole life couldn’t do calculus to save their lives. Are you suggesting they should be required to?
There is no limit that you will ever accept as a pro-abortionist. You call yourself pro-choice, but care nothing for the choices of 2 of the 3 people involved in the practice, the father and the child. The father can’t decide to keep the baby if the mother doesn’t want it and he can’t choose to ignore it if she does. He still has to pay child support.
The child, on the other hand, would only make one choice while still in the womb. To live. Could you possibly disagree with this? If so, the only way you will ever convince me is to off yourself. Go ahead, show us the depth of your own convictions.

Aren’t you the least bit concerned of the sheer numbers of women who can’t make a pro choice before conception? Hmmmm, maybe that explains liberals after all.

“I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” –Ronald Reagan
“You first” is also an effective response to the envirofreaks who believe that humanity is a cancer on the planet and that we should voluntarily reduce our own ranks.
Of course, it is all part of the same thinking. The ruling class deciding who gets to live and who doesn’t.

Well, I guess you can kill most children up until the age of rational thought of around age 12.

I think . . . those are tombstones.

Got it.
What a great graphic once the message is clear. What a contrast……

Won’t work Cindy. The vampires must defend their “right” to thirst. They thrive on the death of innocence, whether killing babies to sexualizing our youth…

How about something REALLY simple — like a fetal viability law with teeth. Every abortion must be attended by two doctors — the doctor for the mother (the abortionist), and the doctor for the children (a obstetrician). The abortionist is restricted to using methods which will not reduce the viability of the fetus, and the obstetrician is there to assure that he doesn’t.
Of course, this would mean that someone other than the parents or the abortion mill must provide the obstetrician, because those don’t give a rat’s patootie about the rights of the children.
The fees perhaps should come as a tax on abortions.

So very sad.

.
Conservatives don’t have to propose/make laws specifying penalties.
They just need to lawfully define a “fetus” as a REAL, LIVE PERSON.
The rest is up to judges and juries.
.
People cannot escape the consequences of sexual intercourse.
Women cannot escape the scientific, medical fact that they are designed (by a higher intelligence) to develop newly conceived little REAL, LIVE PERSONS within the reproductive organ in their bodies.

The problem with your argument is that a fetus is not a part of a woman’s body. A fetus is a unique, separate entity that attaches itself, and grows inside the mother.
