7. "..Motives behind Planned Parenthood terror?..

"...If we have to ask—let's start with the GOP/Fox/Limbaugh

~snip~

Odious messages are spewed daily via ‘hate media’ like the televised Fox News, written media like Breibart, and radio shows like The Rush Limbaugh show. These outlets are now being accused of being partly responsible for Friday’s act of terrorism. Olivia Kittel with Media Matters cites some of the malign public attacks against Planned Parenthood:

Fox News contributor Erick Erickson said Republicans who won't vote to defund the health provider "should be destroyed, " and conservative blog RedState called Planned Parenthood "our Auschwitz." Fox host Bill O'Reilly described Planned Parenthood's fetal tissue donation as "Nazi stuff," while many conservative media figures drew comparisons to the notorious Nazi doctor, Josef Mengele, who conducted painful and often fatal human experiments on concentration camp prisoners.

We have GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, lying to one of the largest television audiences this year. She claims there is a video of a Planned Parenthood clinic doing unthinkable, even though it did not take place at Planned Parenthood health center:

“Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.” -Carly Fiorina


Public radio programs like The Rush Limbaugh Show are just as bad or worse. Limbaugh, known for being racist, misogynistic, anti-LGBT gun-hugger, uses phrases like, “Planned Parenthood butchery,” perpetuating the already festering hatred towards pro-choice organizations. Media Matters recorded a show where Rush Limbaugh actually said:



None of the above have suffered repercussions for their lies, other than Limbaugh who has lost thousands of advertisers due to a national protest and boycott. But whats that compared to promoting menacing disinformation that might/can lead to the deaths of innocent people?
