The mainstream media has given great attention to Scott Roeder’s shooting of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller as he worked as an usher in his church Sunday morning. Left-wing bloggers have accused anti-abortion activists and media personalities who condemned Tillers’ late-term abortions on demand as responsible for inciting his killer. In contrast the media has given scant attention to the killing of 23-year-old Private William Long and the wounding of 18-year-old Private Quinton Ezeagwula at a Little Rock, Arkansas, recruiting station on Monday by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a convert to Islam who, like Roeder, was ideologically motivated. Similarly, President Obama issued a public statement calling Tillers killing a heinous crime, and indeed it was. As of this writing, however, the White House has issued no statement to the national media on the Arkansas incident. It's too late for the media to correct its error. It's not too late for the commander-in-chief.
