MSNBC's Newest Talk Show Host Defended A Terrorist

 

"There have been what, three, four, five bombings of abortion clinics?" - Joe Scarborough. 8-2-07 downplaying Christian extremist abortion clinic bombings all the while dissing CNN's series by Christiane Amanpour called "God's Warriors"

 

Over two hundred abortion clinic bombings have occurred. Here's a list of violence of against abortion clinics.

 

I guess Joe forgot that in 1993, right before he was first elected to Congress, the FIRST murder of an abortion provider, Dr. David Gunn occurred in Pensacola, Florida, Joe's own hometown. Joe was asked by the murderer's family in Pensacola to defend, Michael Griffin, a self admitted Christian terrorist. Joe was eventually relieved of the case when the judge expressed Scarborough's lack of experience in criminal cases.

 

Joe missed a golden opportunity today to tell us how it felt to defend a real Christian terrorist!

 

But no, he skews the figures of all those deadly bombings against women's clinics. MSNBC hired this guy?
