I am writing to thank Michelle Malkin and Bill O’Reilly for their analysis of the Tiller murder and its portrayal in the mainstream media, particularly The New York Times (“Double Standard” and “Left Exploits Doc’s Slay To Silence Foes Like Me,” June 3).

There are thousands of murders and crimes committed every day in America, particularly against women and children. Yet President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have chosen to comment on the murder of a notorious late-term abortionist.

Why? Because the far left worships abortion on demand, and people such as George Tiller are its high priests. As deplorable and cowardly as Tiller’s murder was, it was not worthy of the comment or hysteria of Obama and Holder. The man who struck at Tiller had no association with any pro-life organization, but that fact has been conveniently ignored by the Times and the mainstream media.
