Media Coverage Differed in Killing of Abortion Doctor, Army Recruiter
Fox News ^ | 6/3/2009

Posted on 06/04/2009 1:52:10 AM PDT by markomalley

Call it a tale of two murders: one involving an abortion doctor that captured days of media attention and another involving an Army recruiter that has barely registered a blip on most news radar screens.

The killing of abortion doctor George Tiller, who was fatally shot in his Kansas church Sunday morning, drew a flood of denunciations from President Obama along with liberal and conservative lawmakers and abortion rights groups and abortion foes. The murder occupied front pages and led news broadcasts for nearly three days.

Attorney General Eric Holder ordered the U.S. Marshals' service to "increase security for a number of individuals and facilities" although officials provided no specifics.

By contrast, the murder of Army Pvt. William Long and the wounding of Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula outside a recruiting center in Little Rock, Ark., has drawn relatively scant coverage despite the background of the suspected shooter: he was a convert to Islam who police say probably had "political and religious motives for the attack."

Holder has not called for a security increase at Army recruiting centers around the country even though they along with military facilities have been targeted for attack numerous times over the last five years.

This issue demands correction and accountabilty.

Obama is MIA on this...his administration will deploy US Marshalls to abortion clinics but not to protect military recruiters?

That is BS.

Very quietly and the radar all our govt. protections against the Kenyan’s friends is being undermined, subverted, or turned against America.

No matter how you look at it, killing the unborn is the murder of a separate and helpless being with its own DNA. Even if that being lived to be a hundred its DNA would always be the same.

The Kenyan’s protection of full term abortionists and his encouragement of US Military murders is totally evil on several different levels.

I have been hearing about both stories all over the place. I don’t know if people are not paying attention, but it was even in Stars and Stripes and actually did a pretty indept story about how he just enlisted and all kinds of stuff.

And where is the chorus of denunciations from other Muslims as there were denunciations from pro-lifers?
