The mainstream media is quick to report ``abuses`` by pro-life protesters, yet an elderly protester was assaulted and injured by an abortion supporter in an attack outside of an abortion clinic in Harrisburg, PA on December 22 and the story has not so much as elicited a yawn.
According to the article:
And here, nearly 7 days out from this attack, there aren't any accounts of the attack in the mainstream media.
As I searched for the story myself, I found two and only two Internet hits for it. Why the silence from the mainstream media? Can you imagine the MAINSTREAM MEDIA swarm that would have occurred if it had been a pro-lifer that attacked an abortion supporter? The cacophony would have been deafening if a pro-lifer had been the one to get violent.
The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property issued the first story to hit the net a few days ago. Also, a Catholic PRWire and media advisory from Catholic Online was released on the 28th. But the MAINSTREAM MEDIA has remained silent on the matter.
Here is the account from the TFP:
When Mr. Snell tried to counsel the woman, his words were cut short when the man became furious, jumped the fence and, in the words of Mr. McTernan, ``leaped on the vehicle with Ed and catapulted him off of the vehicle and onto the ground.`` Mr. Snell hit his back and head on the pavement and was knocked unconscious.
His medical report outlines the extent of his injuries: multiple trauma, right subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain), compression fractures of four vertebrae (T3, T4, T5 and T10), right scapula fracture and fracture of the fourth and fifth ribs. Before doctors were able to stop the bleeding in his head, they even feared Mr. Snell would die.
An elderly man almost dies from an attack by an abortion supporter and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA is mum.
But, the receptionist at the clinic sure wasn't mum!
When asked on the phone about the vicious attack, the receptionist at Hillcrest Abortion Clinic refused to give a recorded statement and angrily shouted: ``He got what he deserved! He earned what he got!`` She then hung up the phone.

And to add injury to insult, the police did not arrest the assailant.
I find it very interesting that the champions of free speech, the ACLU and other such liberal groups, can`t seem to muster any concern. If this were a member of ACTUP or Code Pink and the police allowed the assailant to walk they would be livid, screaming about the ``chilling of free speech`` and demanding justice. Since it`s not their ox being gored they are happy to shrug the matter off. I`m sure they`re thinking resembles that of the receptionist ``he had it coming!``
The Left claims to champion rights and freedom, but too often only for their own.

As usual, the left show only tolerance for their own point of view.
A Happy New Year to you, Tim.

Thanks, Morris!
Wordpress will do a better job of getting traffic for your site! I know my wordpress site (the mirror) beats the pants off of my old Blogger site and the mee.nu site, too. I love this particular site, so I maintain both! You`ll definitely do better with Wordpress.
