I\u2019d ask if the blood on his own hands occurred to him as he clicked &#8220;Tweet,&#8221; but that would imply he\u2019s something more than a provocateur throwing meat to fans hungry for hate.<\/p>\n<p>Even if he missed it the first time around, other Twitter denizens sure didn\u2019t. Several pointed it out, so he followed up with more gems. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markos\/status\/291624514540949504\">First<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Conservative logic: abortion kills unborn, which is bad, but guns kill born, which is freedom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll notice that sarcastically restating our opposition to abortion doesn\u2019t constitute a refutation of the proposition that supporting legal abortion puts Kos \u201con the side of more dead children.\u201d Second, it\u2019s no surprise that Kos would slander conservatives with the \u201ckilling is freedom\u201d nonsense, but could he at least try to come up with something clever or original?<\/p>\n<p>A bit later, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jstrevino\">Joshua Trevino<\/a> responded with, \u201cSee you at March for Life!\u201d Kos\u2019s \u201cbrilliant\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markos\/status\/291625483852980224\">response<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Does that march support life for kids who are alive?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Confirmed: he can\u2019t try for clever or original.

That\u2019s not a revelation. So to end on a more productive note, let\u2019s throw the following question out for discussion: considering how our opponents have no inhibitions whatsoever to talking about us this way, why are pro-lifers\u2019 most prominent allies in Congress and the media so hesitant to return the favor by describing abortion support in similarly blunt terms?<\/p>\n<p>The biggest right-of-center television personality, Bill O\u2019Reilly, is <a href=\"\/news\/does-potential-human-comment-make-oreilly-a-pro-life-opponent\/\">a mixed bag<\/a> at best. As we\u2019ve <a href=\"\/news\/the-case-against-nice\/\">discussed<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/the-limits-of-godwins-law\/\">before<\/a>, rhetoric that captures the full raw horror of the act is valuable in clarifying the issue and evoking the appropriate level of moral discomfort people should associate with it. Keep in mind that attacks like Kos\u2019s are despicable not because they use verboten words, but because they\u2019re egregiously inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>Describing abortion as \u201cmore dead kids,\u201d on the other hand, is indisputably correct. So let\u2019s see what its fans think of having that pointed out to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;More dead kids&#8221;?
