Michael Ryan's criticism of abortion killer is hypocritical

Re: "Witless for the defense," from the January 30th edition of the Augusta Chronicle editorial page.

Did Mr. Ryan not approve of Rick Mckee's cartoon of the previous day's edition of his own editorial page--the one that equated aborted fetuses with babies being buried in a graveyard?

This is the kind of propaganda that conservative pundits have been spewing to egg on crazy nuts like Scott Roeder. To then write criticism of behavior inspired by his own inflammatory rhetoric is incredibly hypocritical. Every time Mr. Ryan writes an editorial about abortion, he illogically exaggerates this medical procedure with the phrase "killing babies." This makes him and other conservative pundits complicit in violent acts against doctors.

He should be ashamed of his radical rhetoric. But it's clear from is editorials that he is a man of little ethical standards.

********

BTW,

Mckee's cartoon was just stupid. Aborted fetuses are never given funerals as he so falsely portrayed. They are disposed as medical waste. An aborted embryo is little more than menstrual slough. To compare an embryo to a live baby is hysteria.

Re: Short-changing the country" from the January 9th edition of the Augusta Chronicle editorial page.

Mr. Ryan refers to Obama's "string of election defeats." Obama won the last election he was in--it was for the presidency. Placing the blame on Obama for the democrats loss in a small handful of local election is ridiculous hyperbole. In his editorial Mr. Ryan also repeats the lie that cap and trade will cripple the economy. Factcheck.org recently debunked this lie.

Mr. Ryan joins conservative pundits in refering to the president as arrogant. As Keith Olbermann rightly notes this is codeword or calling the president an uppity Negro. Having a differing political view does not mke one arrogant. Once again Mr. Ryan is guilty of a baseless criticism of thepresident, and this one smells racist.
