Shrieeek!!!! It's all in the spin.

Blob Blogging Wingnut often re-posts propaganda pieces from Lies-Site at HER place.

Facts about public events and occurrences tend to get varnished, twisted and distorted by The Fetus©™ fetishists in their attempt to provoke outrage and to get a good chorus of shriEEEks going.

That nifty little tactic was certainly on display as the zygote zealots milked the
shooting death of Jim Pouillon as much as they could. SUZIE CAPS-ON even promoted the notion that Pouillon should be nominated for sainthood. Umm, yeah. Right up there with the white-washing canonization of Pius XII, it would seem.

Here's a recent example that occurred at Southwestern Women's Options.

The basic elements of the story are: a couple accompanying their adolescent daughter to a women's clinic were called out by anti-abortion activists. The patient and her parents went inside the building. The father then came out to tell the activists that he would act forcefully to protect his daughter and wife if they were approached again when they left the clinic. The activists claimed that he threatened to shoot one of them. Operation Rescue volunteers phoned police and said that they saw what they assumed to be a gun. The police arrived, took the man into custody and because they could not find a weapon upon him - as Operation Rescue volunteers claimed - proceeded to search the premises of the clinic. Firearms were eventually found locked in the vehicle owned by the father. No charges have been filed, pending a completed investigation of the event.

Compare these versions of the event, fed by Operation Rescue truthiness. It starts with the headline. In fact the father was not 'arrested', nor charged.

Here is a reality-based account.

My prediction is that Operation Rescue will exploit this tactic - claiming that they have been threatened by people accompanying patients to clinics, or by patients themselves. Given the US anti-abortion movement's history in promoting and supporting homicidal actions against medical staff, police have zero tolerance for any kind of perceived or real threat of violence around Planned Parenthood and other women's clinics. I expect that zygote zealots will report that they thought they saw a gun/knife/bomb and claim they were threatened in order to get the police to sweep down upon the location.

How many times will they pull such stunts before they get charged with mischief and sent the bill for abusing police resources?

Guilty, but no pro-choice terrorist

Harlan Drake, confessed killer of two men, Mike Fuoss and anti-abortion harasser Jim Pouillon has been found guilty of first-degree murder.

Drake's lawyers offered an insanity defense and the man sure had some awful events in his life. The prosecution presented evidence of premeditation -- Drake talked about 'doing something' about Pouillon the day before -- that seems to have convinced the jury.

Jim Pouillon is the guy the fetus fetishists -- SUZY ALLCAPSLOCK was one -- wanted to put up for sainthood. And in general the FF media tried to equate the murder of Dr George Tiller to Pouillon's murder.

And they're still doing it. Under a headline Pouillon Murderer: I Don’t Feel Bad:
Drake also revealed that he first targeted Pouillon because of his pro-life activism, and that he decided to kill Fuoss, against whom he had a grudge, only after he shot Pouillon and realized that he had nothing to lose.

Let's have a look at what Drake said according to a local paper:
He told jurors he had, on multiple occasions, asked Pouillon to “pick a better sign” for his protests. When he was shot and killed, Pouillon was carrying a sign that had an aborted fetus on one side, and the picture of a healthy baby on the other.

“I didn't feel that's right to show children, especially younger children,” Drake said.

However, Drake said he had no opinion on the issue actually addressed by the sign.

“As a man, I don't feel I have a right to have an opinion on that,” Drake said.

Hm. No opinion on abortion. Just really hated those gory signs. Remember that Pouillon regularly protested at a local school and, in fact, that's where he was killed.

But, still, Drake must have been a monster, right?
Harlan Drake said he feels he deserves the death penalty for gunning down two men on Sept. 11, 2009, and said he is not a "safe person" to be on the streets.

(There is no death penalty in Michigan.)

Oh, and that 'I don't care' headlline? Here's how that was reported:
Drake told the court he is not sad his victims, anti-abortion activist James Pouillon and gravel pit owner Michael Fuoss, are dead, and said he shot the men in a way to ensure they would die quickly and not suffer.

A fucked up guy, obviously. But not a pro-abortion terrorist, no matter how many lies the fetus fetishists fling around.

A zygote zealot moment.

Over at Blob Blogging Wingnut's Site of Perpetually Screeching Jeremiads HER headline shrieeeks:

Jim Pouillon's Murder Likened to Abortion
This is what passes for "logic" as SHE spins off from the zygote zealot glurge and stock pro-lies propaganda expressed at the funeral service for Jim Pouillon and, this quote in particular:


"Jim had no way to run from this attack, just like the babies in the womb..."

Earlier SHE had made a case for the canonization of Pouillon, saying of him:
"...he was an average schlub, by the looks of things, except for his disability."

Right. So an adult man in a wheelchair is said to be like a fetus because of his disability.


The Fetus©™ fetishists. It's always about The Fetus©™ and only The Fetus©™ - because even an adult can be profitably re-purposed, martyrized, foetishized and canonized.
