One of
the reasons more people don't turn away from liberalism is that
they're just plain lazy. They're too lazy to expend any effort
looking into an issue beyond a 30 second sound bite they hear on the
radio between pop tunes. I'll give you a case in point.
Liberals
have run for cover in light of the damning videos taken of Planned
Parenthood executives and employees brokering deals to sell aborted
baby parts. Their first response was a blanket denial but that
turned out to be fruitless since people could watch the videos for
themselves and see Planned Parenthood officials, like Dr.
Mary Gatter, literally haggling over the price per “specimen.”
The most recent tactic is to dismiss the videos as “doctored”
and “heavily edited.”
A
YouTube channel by a group called, The
Young Turks, posted its own video “debunking” the
controversial videos. Here's an excerpt I've transcribed from the
Young Turk's rebuttal:
“The
NY Times has done its due diligence and has investigated the two
videos that were released by the Center for Medical Progress....
Now, I'm glad a member of the mainstream media has delved into this
and is actually telling people the truth about those videos – how
many of the statements were taken out of context or how the
statements were misrepresented.... No one else in the media is
saying that. Everyone else in the media is saying, 'Oh look, here's
what the Center for Medical Progress is saying they experienced.
Judge for yourself.' No, no, no! Don't judge for yourself. Be a
journalist and actually investigate this and figure out whether or
not the claims are true. And thankfully, the NY times did do this.”
The
video continues by quoting the findings of the NY Times
investigation. It's rather hilarious that these young liberals, who
stage their video like it's a news program, exhort people to be
journalists and investigate the claims of the Center for Medical
Progress (CMP) while they themselves seem to have not done any
investigation beyond reading the NY Times article. Have they
bothered to investigate the CMP? Oh, and have they bothered to
investigate the NY Times? It sounds to me like theirs is a case of
simply believing those with whom they agree. Their channel isn't
journalism – it's propaganda.
Listen
to me, all ye who are liberal: The entire, unedited videos taken by
the CMP are available on YouTube. You can watch them for yourselves
here.
They're not doctored. They're not edited. They are the raw footage
of Planned Parenthood employees and partners discussing the selling
baby parts. If you think the 8:25 version of Dr. Gatter haggling
like a used car salesman is taken out of context, you can watch the
entire 1:13:38 and see if she made any other comments that might
paint an entirely different picture of her intentions. Go ahead and
watch it. I dare you.
So my
question is, why didn't the Young Turks bother to watch the unedited
videos for themselves? Instead of posting quotes from the NY Times
claiming the edited parts of video were exculpatory, they could have
included the relevant parts in their phony news show. I sincerely
believe that even at the time the Turks posted their own video, they
had not bothered to watch the unedited videos provided by the CMP.
It wouldn't surprise me if they haven't watched them even to this
day.
I
think the liberal elite is counting on the fact that the peasant
class they call their base is too lazy to sit through an hour long
video. People like Nancy Pelosi repeatedly call the videos “heavily
edited” knowing that none of their base will ever learn that the
unedited versions show the same things as the shorter versions. By
the way, neither has Pelosi watched the unedited videos.
The
liberal aristocracy can throw around works like “doctored,”
“edited,” and “fake” and your run of the mill liberal will
believe without question – all the while, the truth can be found
with the click of a mouse and a small investment of time. But a
small investment of time is too much to ask. Most liberals are too
lazy.
