It is truly sad that this isn’t getting more press.

Society needs to straighten its priorities.

[...] Michelle Malkin as well has another posting up and has also been closely following the hostage crisis. [...]

Sorry, David, I missed the last meeting of the vast left wing conspiracy. So, I can’t get Kos, HuffPo to cover this. Maybe they’ll talk about it when MM talks about the fact that Al Gonzalez committed perjury repeatedly. Oh, wait, that would mean MM is covering something important–not her department.

That is SO TYPICAL of left-wing arguers… can’t argue on the point, so just SWITCH THE SUBJECT! It is why I have stopped even trying it is p##ssing in the wind. knee-jerk much Mike?

The MSM and liberals are not interested in this news story because they automatically sympathize with Muslims and dislike Christians. So it is very hard for them to sympathize with the Korean Christians. Instead of trying to destroy Christianity as liberals do with the ACLU, the Korean Christians were actually proselytizing. That makes liberals and the MSM cringe.

When they feel forced to report on the story, they blame the victims instead of the Muslim Taliban for kidnapping them: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20070727/wl_time/koreanmissionariesdrawfireathome

David Lee–I wasn’t making a “moral equivalency” about the Gonzalez perjury and killing Christian missionaries

The equivalency you make is that the the lefty blogs/MSM will cover the dead Christians when Michelle covers the Gonzales perjury trial. That is more of deflection, really, but it certainly doesn’t address the question at hand.

My remark was more focussed on the incessant coverage of slightly inconveninced Talib and Al Q terrorists at Gitmo, and the top-of-the-lungs screaming about war crimes, but almost zero coverage of beheaded US Soldiers, and almost zero coverage of a murdered Missionary. Also, no mention of the Geneva Convention relative to any prisoners other those WE take. I’m still wondering why? Just square that for me, will ya? None of this has anything to do with the Atty Gen.

The liberals I know despise the Taliban as religious extremists. They support the war in Afghanistan and favor incursions into Pakistan if needed to disrupt or kill Bin Laden. They also agree with some paleo-cons that the venture in Iraq was too costly and not in America’s self-interest. I disagree with the liberals on many points, especially the size and role of the federal government but have found their views to be consistently antithetical to theocratic rule.

Typical. This story has been here for three days. Well, thank GOD somebody thinks it is important enough to give it attention. After all, as you said earlier MikeB, liberals are Christians and they do not want to see Christians get killed – or press coverage.

David Lee–I wasn’t making a “moral equivalency” about the Gonzalez perjury and killing Christian missionaries. I was saying this is an important issue that should be discussed here. As I said on the string about outsourcing DMV records to Mexico…MM places items on this site that she believes are important. Isn’t the fact that the top law enforcement officer in the US committed perjury worth discussing? If Bush was a Dem, you bet MM would be on it like a cheap suit, like white on rice, or like hair on a gorilla. Incidentially, the missionary story has not been mentioned just once, it has been here for three days.

On July 27th, 2007 at 12:42 pm, MikeB said: “David, a lawyer who defends a client in court doesn’t necessarily endorse his client’s political views, but you already know that.

Is that why the MSM gives front-page stories about the attorney career of Repulicans like Fred Thompson, but never talk about the scheister dealings of someone like John Edwards or Hillary Clinton?

“Oh, wait, that would mean MM is covering something important–not her department.”

Yeah, you’re right. Government sending private citizen info, the Taliban taking and killing innocent Korean missionaries, suspicious stories of military misconduct portrayed in a liberal magazine written by the ultra liberal soldier-husband of a magazine staffer, illegal immigration…. not important.

Disagreement in recollection of events and the inability to fully disclose those events due to classified information ( not perjury ) – is the real story.

Think of it this way:
MichelleMalkin.com – the news that’s unfit for the Main Stream Media.

I knew I could bait a liberal into making a moral equivalency!! I just knew it!!! I didn’t hear about the Gonzales conviction. I’m pretty sure the Korean Missionary is very actually dead, though.

Just want to make sure here Mike, are we equivocating the attorney general firings with summary executions of Christian ministers by the Taliban in Afghanistan? Just to clarify. I mean, there is only so much material to cover in a blog on a certain day. One does have to prioritize. With that said, I would think the Korean hostage crisis in Afghanistan would seemingly be an issue the left and right could gladly come together on, no? And yes I know you’re on board Mike, but others?
