That must be a question the media asks itself frequently.  Of course, they don't call it censorship, but they never print what doesn't fit their world view.

Take for instance the brutal murder of Dr. George Tiller.  Did you know that at the same time a soldier was murdered outside a military recruiting center in Arkansas?  Of course, you didn't--the man arrested for the murder was Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who converted to Islam while in jail.  He confessed to murdering Private William Long and wounding Private Quinton Ezeagwula.  He said he was committing jihad for political and religious reasons.  It would have been politically incorrect for the media to cover this story.  After all only a soldier was killed by a Muslim man.  It's to be expected.  Whereas George Tiller was an abortionist, a rich man, who performed late term abortions.  He was practically a saint whereas the privates were poor yokels from fly over country.  You couldn't expect the media to cover their murders could you?

Jesse Dirkhising was also from Arkansas (fly over country).  Who is Jesse Dirkhising you ask?  Therein lies the problem.  Jesse was raped and murdered by two gay men in 1999.  His murder took place about the same time that Matthew Shepherd was brutally murdered by two men in Wyoming (more fly over country).  The difference is Shepherd was gay and Dirkhising was more than likely straight and murdered by two gay men.  Guess which crime was worse and was branded a hate crime.  What about a crime against a juvenile (Dirkhising was 13)? Shepherd was an adult.  Both were killed heinously.  God created both equally, except Shepherd was more equal because he was gay.  So Shepherd's murder made national headlines and none of you heard of Jesse Dirkhising. 

Then there was the Duke rape case.  No not the one where the Lacrosse team was accused of attacking a female exotic dancer.  (They were acquitted when the dancer's story was found to be untrue.)  Remember the non-stop coverage on this one?  No, I'm talking about the rape of a black 5 year old adopted boy by his white adoptive father.  You don't hear about that one.  The press isn't covering that one perhaps because the adoptive father was a gay instructor from Duke.  Yep, that Duke.

All these incidences tell me two things.  First, if you are gay you can do anything; and second,being gay trumps being black.  You can say something against a black man, but not against a gay man.  Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this one?  Not in North Carolina.

So if you are not gay, but are killed or raped by a gay man, it's not a crime.  The same isn't true if you are conservative, Christian.  Especially if you are a woman. 

On June 8, 2009 David Letterman ridiculed not just Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, but her daughter too.  He said he thought he was ridiculing the oldest Palin daughter who is 18, but Palin had her 14 year old with her.  Did it matter?  I don't think so?  Letterman also called Palin a slutty flight attendant. During the same time frame (forgive me for not having an exact date), Playboy published a story on conservative women they'd like to have angry (rape?) sex with.   Governor Palin was one of those mentioned.  None of the conservative women mentioned could do anything about it.  (Freedom of the press, etc.)  Substitute gay man for conservative woman  and see what would happen.   

What caused her decision to step down as Governor of Alaska?  I don't think it was the attacks on her, but it could have been the attacks on her family.  I've heard from friends in Alaska that her husband Todd was particularly angry and who can blame him.  It's fair to attack Palin (but I question still attacking her months after the election), but her children and her family should be exempt.  I'll say it again.  She's young, attractive and doesn't believe in abortion.  Wow.  Everything a leftist hates.  You can say anything about Palin you want, but don't you dare say anything about gay men.  That's a hate crime.

Is the water hot enough for you yet?
