The Deafening Silence of the Republican Field in the Wake of the Planned Parenthood Shooting



It was murder, it should be denounced without exception by all.


Republican contenders who have had so very much to say against Planned Parenthood were largely mum after Friday’s deadly violence.

it is rather telling that members of the Republican Party who are eager to denounce the first sign of violence at a “black lives matter” protest, and who go into a tweeting frenzy over terrorist attacks launched by Muslims, are silent when terror strikes home at a women’s health clinic.

What is the GOP going to do now that the Radical Christian Terrorists are shooting down police officers? Last I heard they were really really really against groups of people targeting police. What are they going to do now that the enemy is themselves? So far it seems as if the right-wing media outlets are going to ignore the one slain and five injured officers because of the building it happened in, doesn't fit their chosen story line.

* If the GOP does not speak up and condemn this crime then they are no different then all those Muslim Clerics who do not speak out against terrorism in the name of Islam.

* Hello everybody, I am reading that some people are saying "we don't know what has happened " well we do. A guy with a gun attacked a building, took hostages and when the police came, gun fire happened and people have died. This is not hard to figure out. Are you for or against attacks?

He was actually the first Republican candidate to make any statement about it.
