Not a Peep Out of Media about "Republicans Want to Kill Women"
So after Democrat Congresswoman, Louise Slaughter said at a pro-choice rally, ""In '94 people were elected simply to come here to kill the National Endowment for the Arts," claimed senior Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter at a pro-choice rally on the National Mall Wednesday. "Now they're here to kill women," without a peep out of the lame-stream media.
As Lachlan Markay said in the original report, "Interestingly, after January's shooting in Tucson, Slaughter said "she would look at ways to better police language on the airwaves," according to The Hill. The implication was that "language" had something to do with the shooting spree that hospitalized Rep. Gabby Giffords and 12 others, and killed six. It seems that accusing one's political opponents of wishing death on women generally and comparing their policies to those of the Nazis would fall within the bounds of speech Slaughter apparently felt had somehow led to that shooting. Neither the absurdity of Slaughter's remarks nor her rank hypocrisy in making them, however, have seemed to satisfy the media's standards for newsworthiness."
On Sunday, on CNN's "Reliable Sources", even Howard Kurtz wondered aloud why this didn't cause any media outrage.
Mainstream media= crickets.
