A column by W. F. Walker Johanson puts forward an interesting bit of hypocrisy regarding the media’s focus on mass murder that inculdes this quote of the day:
The truth is we're the ones trying to stop such massacres, not the ones causing them. At Virginia Tech, the "bad guy" was the murderer, not the police! In Iraq, the "bad guys" are the murderers, not the Coalition forces!
Johanson compares the VT mass murder interest to the lack of interest the media (and the Cultural Marxists) has on the mindset of the Islamic Jihadists:
So where is the similar outrage for the perpetrators of similar massacres that are going on daily in Iraq?
The U.S. has had one such event in 230 years, while Iraq has had 230 such events in the past year alone! Doesn't the world mourn for the loss of these thousands of equally innocent victims?
Apparently not. Are Iraqis less important than Americans? Of course not! Does God love them less than he does Americans? Of course not! We are all a part of His family, and we are all equal in the sight of God. So why doesn't the world condemn the murdering Islamo-fascists in Iraq (and elsewhere) like they do this deeply troubled young man from South Korea?
Like him, they are violently angry young men who have planned ahead of time to commit mass murder and suicide. Is this acceptable behavior in a civilized world? If not, then why does the world condemn it in America but seem to tolerate it in Iraq? And why does the media only report the daily death tolls of American troops in Iraq and not the daily death tolls of the innocent Iraqi men, women, and children who have been senselessly murdered by religious zealots whom our troops are trying to fight?
Something is wrong here.
After the Virginia Tech massacre, even liberal Democrats have been wondering: "Couldn't we have anticipated this obviously sick young man's behavior? Wasn't there some way we could have seen that he matched the profile of people likely to commit such crimes?"
What a curious musing to be coming from liberal Democrats.
Aren't they the ones who are against all forms of profiling? Isn't that why, at the airports, we search little old white ladies from Des Moines, but not every single Middle Eastern man in his 20s or 30s who isn't an American citizen?
