Deafening Silence
When homosexuals are murdered in the Middle East because Muslims are homophobic to the extreme, the homosexual activists in this country are silent.
When rape victims are stoned to death in “honor killings”, the feminists in this country are silent.
When Afghan women turn out to vote in the millions, women’s rights advocates in this country are silent.
Now, Power Line adds another: when a filmmaker in Holland is brutally murdered for the crime of performing his craft, the liberals of Hollywood are silent.
When a worker of CAIR (Center for American-Islamic Relations) is murdered, the Iraqi people are outraged, but the American media is silent.
When journalists are imprisoned in China, and more often now than in years past, the New York Times is silent.
When North Korean prisons never release prisoners, just beat them to death when the guards are bored, liberal groups are silent (a few good purely humanitarian ones have spoken out, though).
When Canada’s native Indians are subject to harsh discrimination, almost all American groups are silent.
The list practically goes on forever. Then again, democrats can probably make a half-decent one for the right wing, as well. Both sides are guilty of ignorance, whether intentional or otherwise.
Well said. I must make a mental note to write right-wing journalists when something happens that they should be outraged about.
