Theo van Gogh
Andrew Sullivan points out:
ONE SENTENCE: From Roger Ebert. And a good piece on NPR. That's my summary so far of liberal outrage about the murder of Theo van Gogh. Do you think if a member of the religious right had killed a Hollywood director they would have managed to say something?
Yes, it would be everywhere for weeks - NYTimes cover, Newsweek, LATimes would literally blame Mel Gibson. It's classic, really. That oh-so-selective outrage of the left.
