Why the silence on the death of William Long? Updated – Obama finally released a statement
ByAfter the murder of the late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, President Obama and Attorney General Erick Holder issued separate statements condemning the crime.
So why haven’t they issued any statements regarding the murder of William Long and the attempted murder of Quinton Ezeagwula outside of the Little Rock Army Recruiting Center?
Sweetness & Light is asking, “Where is Mr. Obama’s statement denouncing this murder? Where are the US marshals to protect the recruiting centers? Indeed, where is the media coverage?”
Excellent questions, especially since there have been other attacks on recruiting centers.
Although the shootings occurred at 10:00 a.m. Monday morning, as of midnight Monday, neither the White House nor the Department of Justice had issued any statements about the shootings of the soldiers.
Are they afraid that condemning the Muslim murderer will upset the Muslim world? Is the life of an Army recruiter less valuable than the life of Dr. Tiller?
I did a quick search to see if I could find a statement by the president on the death of William Long. I came up empty, but I did find a statement from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. At least she cares.
Update 6/3/09 well, President Obama finally released a statement. I can sum it up in a word: lame.

The Anti-Judeo Christian agenda of the left is staggering.
Why Jews and Catholics support the Dems is beyond me.
