Abortion doctor gets murdered - presumably by an anti-abortionist - and the media world explodes with coverage, editorials blasting the anti-abortion movement and so on...
Soldier gets murdered (and another wounded) at a recruiting station - presumably* by an anti-military wingnut - and there's a fraction of the news coverage and, as best as I can tell, no ranting against liberals for having created an environment where someone thought it right to go kill American soldiers. Double standard on the part of the MSM? A sign that the life of an abortion provider is worth more than that of a soldier? Or a sign of maturity on the right that isn't present on the left? You tell me. * until the murderer is caught and it is definitely proven that he had no axe to grind with the military, I'll go with this. UPDATE: looks like the rabid right is just as quick to indict the left as the loony left is to condemn the right. A pox on them both.
