‘Daily Show’ co-creator: Pro-lifers use ‘terrorist tactics’
Quote:
|
AUSTIN, TEXAS, June 20, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” said she felt ashamed after her encounter in a crisis pregnancy center at age 17. She chose to have an abortion before going on to a career in stand-up comedy, radio, and television. Now she is hosting a series of one-woman fundraisers for Planned Parenthood and taking aim at her old enemies.

This is just downright disgusting but they are not the first to call us terrorists. I believe the Obama administration has done the same at one point in the past. I could be wrong on that though so feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
That said, I have never liked the Daily Show. The first time I seen it was one time when my liberal best friend was visiting and he was watching the TV. He turned the channel to this show and I could immediately tell I didn't like it. That's not to mention that they regularly attack Catholicism on that show from what I understand. Not too long ago they showed a picture of a woman with her legs spread and a nativity scene near her crotch. I have boycotted the show and I refuse to let my friend watch it while he's here anymore.

I expect nothing less from a co-creator of the Daily Show.

Yeah, me either. The Daily Show sickens me. I watched it once with my liberal best friend as I said and I was sickened, especially when they started attacking the Church. When people attack the Church, I get very defensive about it and often quite angry too.

The left doesn't seem to know the difference between the real terrorists they embrace vs what they seem to think is terrorism. lol
A fascinating epic failure unfolding...

Don't watch the Daily Show. They recently mocked the Nativity, in a disgusting way, the Catholic League got some sponsors of the show to pull their ads from the show.

Oh my gosh, LifeSite News 
Yes, Lizz Winstead was a co-creator of The Daily Show, but that was 15 years ago. She hasn't been associated with the show since 1997

It does not matter whether she is associated with the Daily Show currently or not. The point being made is that she was the co creator of a major show, and she has these views.

I agree with you that Winstead's current views have nothing to do with The Daily Show. So why does LifeSite News make the connection in their headline?

The same reason any media outlet would...flashier headlines = more traffic. Doesn't make it right, but there it is.

Any media outlet? 
I agree that tabloids such as The National Enquirer or The Daily Mail might do so. But they aren't known for their journalistic standards.
And if one of their articles, with such a misleading headline, were posted here, I would hope it would be criticized.

Why is it a misleading headline?
Lizz Winstead is the co creator of the Daily Show, and whether she has left the show is irrelevant.

I guess she wasn't shamed enough.

Re: ‘Daily Show’ co-creator: Pro-lifers use ‘terrorist tactics’
The pro-life movement isn't entirely innocent. Remember, George Tiller and David Gunn were murdered, a Planned Parenthood was bombed a couple months ago, and don't forget Eric Rudolph. They don't represent the whole movement, but not everyone is innocent

Was it proven to have been committed by pro lifers?
There was a bomb at an abortion clinic that the former director of the clinic admitted to faking herself.
The actions of pro lifers who have committed violent actions is horrible, but a few individuals do not count for millions of Americans who consider themselves pro life.
Pro abortion individuals have committed violent acts against pro lifers too.
Pro life school bus was recently bombed, with very little media attention.
Those who are pro abortion desecrating pro life displays.
Attack on a pro life elderly woman.
Woman who clams to be supporter of abortion attacked pro lifers leave a protestor bleeding, video.
