    I would agree with her statement. a muslim killing people HERE would spark outrage and be on everyones lips. She can certainly verify if this is true , but I do believe that is what she referred to. an event IN the US.

    I was responding to pjsouls comment about how a Muslim killing people will spread like wild fire. Then I showed examples of Muslim extremists killing people across the globe and how 9/11 still resonates with Americans.

    yeah there would be outrage here in the u.s. because of the number of muslim killings since 9/11. to many u.s. citizens extremist muslims are the enemy thanks to 9/11.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Hopefully not another one of those swept-under-the-rug forgotten forever folks.

    Disappearance from headlines and so-called journalistic contributions should in no way be mistaken for being erased. *poof* Just doesn't work that way.

    So does this comment from your political guy Mike Huckabee "There's no excuse for killing other people, whether it's happening inside the Planned Parent headquarters, inside their clinics, where many millions of babies die, or whether it's people attacking Planned Parenthood," Huckabee said on CNN's "State of the Union." from this article http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/threats-are-nothing-new-for-planned-parenthood-insiders-say-1.2679350 bury any truth or has this whole domestic terrorism spectacle become political now.
    This shooting is now forgotten and is producing new headlines.
    In a nutshell who is the Huckabee guy? Seems like a dick to me.

    Huckabee is a former preacher/govenor of arkansas now running for president. He was one of the "outraged" gop hucksters slamming PP and stood with Kim Davis of county clerk fame in a selfserving political move. He is a fucking douchebag.

    Now he makes this statement while also peddling the idea of sending troops into Syria which would result in killing american soldiers and even more innocents. He would seek to close the borders to any refugee.


    whats now known or been released is the civilian victims. A Mother of 2 and a male Iraqi war veteran. Both said to be there offering support for friends.

    Absolutely! And the thing is, the more Pavlovian the news, the more people want to eat it up-- devour it even. Thanks to some of these eager beaver journalists (with no offense toward those who try to report news as accurately as possible), an event such as a tragic loss of life through violence becomes a Roman spectacle with thumbs going every which way and the reality of it often gets lost in the hoopla.

    When I was a kid, I remember seeing this tradgic movie called "Ace in the Hole" (they actually called it "The Big Carnival" on TV) about a guy trapped in a mine and the reporters where so eager to keep the story they literally turned it into a circus. That really blew my mind. I wish every kid, when they're old enough for it, would see that one.

    Does every single thread in thread in this section have to bring up "Muslims"?

    The first time I heard about this story, "planned parenthood, attacked" didn't even register as an actual shooting. There's been so much going on lately, with those videos and the lady in charge being questioned before the Senate committee or whatever the hell that was, the clinics being forced to close in Texas and Missouri, and the regular daily protests outside clinic doors. Planned parenthood has been under attack so long and so much lately that honestly it's a wonder we don't get mass shootings at planned parenthood clinics more often. Though, really, I suspect the dwindling number of clinics might be a factor in that.
