Yes, I do read foxnews and drudgereport at times in order to see what they're writing about, which tends to result in me shaking my head in disbelief. However, today's headline really is taking it to a new level I believe. Their live coverage of the Scott Roeder sentencing is entitled:
Sentencing for Activist Who Gunned Down Abortion Doctor
Activist?! They call him an activist?! Someone who murders a fellow human being as he is walking out of Church with his family. He's an activist now? Foxnews has repeatedly denied that they are stoking the flames of hatred. They went on the defensive when Roeder committed murder, stating they were not at fault one bit for what he did. So now, what do you call it when you minimize murder? When you paint a murderer out to be just an "activist"? When you basically make him out to be a martyr.
Who else do they consider to be an activist? The Hutaree militia? Ted Kaczynski? Richard Poplawski who killed 3 police officers last year because he thoguht the government would take away his guns? Is he an activist? What about Timothy McVey? Was he an activist against our government when he killed innocent people? Would they now consider Bill Ayres as an activist?
What Roeder did was committ murder. What he did was use violence to intimidate others for political purposes. You know, terrorism. He is a terrorist. Not an activist. According to their new definition, it is a shame and tragedy that they would categorize al queda as "activists".
Of course, they won't do anything. As always, we do not expect anything else from foxnews?
