In his column today, Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times endears himself to the other half:
- You go first.
In a recent column you brought out the big guns, God and the Vatican,
to condemn Rush Limbaugh for his support of the troops in the so-called
Iraqi prisoner abuse. Who you gonna call on now to comment on the
televised beheading of an American civilian — the liberal high
authority Michael “Freaky” Moore? Let’s just see if this cold-blooded
murder gets as much air time from the media as the naked butts of Iraqi
prisoners.
Alberta Dabrowsky, Lake Zurich
The entire world
should be condemning that horrific, cowardly murder. As for press
coverage: the beheading of the American civilian is a huge story and
was treated as such. Conservative commentators who seized on this
tragedy to complain that the so-called liberal media was more
interested in abused Iraqi prisoners than a murdered American civilian
are either lying or stupid.
My response, of course, is that I read his column online every day Monday through Thursday, so I guess it’s obvious which of the two I am.
