Well tonight, we have an honest-to-goodness carriage of justice. The good news comes amazingly from Texas. Remember those undercover videos taken at Planned Parenthood over the summer that supposedly showed them illegally selling fetal tissue? Well, it turned out not to be true, and Planned Parenthood has been cleared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The only evidence Wilmore posits for these findings? That the grand jury said so. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just like <a href=\"\/news\/disgusting-daily-shows-trevor-noah-leads-pep-rally-cmp-indictment\/\">his Comedy Central colleague Trevor Noah<\/a>, he doesn\u2019t feel the need to at least go through the motions of how the jurors arrived at these conclusions or how rational they are. No explanation of what PP personnel <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-admits-to-breaking-federal-law\/\">could have meant by<\/a> \u201cit has to be big enough that it is worthwhile\u201d or \u201cdo a little better than break even\u201d if not illegal profits (or any of the other crimes their own words allude to), no mention that the \u201cintent\u201d requirement of the law David Daleiden is accused of breaking <a href=\"\/news\/86677-2\/\">was not met<\/a>, and no response to the defense <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2016\/01\/28\/david-daleidens-attorneys-use-of-fake-id-is-protected-under-law-for-citizen-journalists\/\">argument<\/a> that Daleiden\u2019s use of a fake ID for journalistic purposes doesn\u2019t meet the law\u2019s \u201cintent to defraud or harm\u201d requirement.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Here\u2019s the thing about bulls***. People remember it a lot more than they remember the truth. Right?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like his own side\u2019s tactic of <a href=\"\/news\/stop-presses-cnns-anderson-cooper-questions-planned-parenthood-deceptive-editing-narrative\/\">chanting &#8220;deceptively edited videos!&#8221; no matter how many times it&#8217;s confirmed the videos were accurate<\/a>, doesn\u2019t it? It\u2019s also the tendency he tries to exploit in this very segment: nobody watching will remember the facts, because Wilmore didn\u2019t mention any. All people will take away is the sense of confidence he projected in what he was saying.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Wilmore complains that \u201ceven if Planned Parenthood has been cleared, in most people\u2019s minds, or in some people\u2019s minds, they\u2019ll incorrectly be associated with this,\u201d followed by the same video clips of people repeating that PP sold \u201cbaby parts\u201d <a href=\"\/news\/larry-wilmore-reporting-planned-parenthood-facts-inciting-violence\/\">he freaked out over last time<\/a>. \u201cNo they didn\u2019t!\u201d he shouts, with no greater recognition than last time that his montage contained 100% accurate statements of what Planned Parenthood did, not even containing any of the claims (like illegal profit) that are (weakly) disputed. Sorry, Larry. Not even an A for effort this time.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So the damage has been done, especially when people are predisposed to wanting to believe something.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, isn\u2019t it just the worst when people believe falsehoods out of their personal biases regardless of where the facts lead them? Larry and his dutiful audience might want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/projection-psychology\">look up projection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s like when Donald Trump spread those bulls*** lies about Obama being born in Kenya. So then Obama produces his long-form birth certificate but it doesn\u2019t matter. Guys, this is true: 20% still don\u2019t think he was born here. I don\u2019t have a joke for this, I just want the s*** to sink in. This is the power of bulls***, all right? In fact, this is another true number, 43% of Republicans still think he\u2019s a secret Muslim. Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s true that people believe nonsense in higher numbers than we\u2019d like, though it\u2019s a more equal-opportunity problem than Wilmore will admit; there are also polls showing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/ben-smith\/2011\/04\/more-than-half-of-democrats-believed-bush-knew-035224\">50%<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/media-blog\/30289\/not-even-salon-buying-media-matters-spin-kevin-d-williamson\">54%<\/a> of Democrats believing that George W. Bush knowingly let the September 11 attacks happen.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, it\u2019s outright demagoguery to equate fact-based dissent from the abortion lobby\u2019s propaganda with fringe conspiracy theories that most responsible people on both sides reject&#8230; especially when real conspiracy theorists tend to more closely resemble those who fear looking at the facts.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a particular word for this segment, which Larry Wilmore repeated throughout it. For the sake of decorum I won\u2019t repeat it, but I trust that most readers know which one it is, and will arrive at the same conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last seen declaring that it incites violence to accurately describe Planned Parenthood\u2019s activities, comedian Larry Wilmore is now turning his smug propagandizing to the travesty that Harris County, Texas\u2019s Planned Parenthood investigation has devolved into\u2014or, as he so charmingly put it, \u201cthe people who made those bulls*** videos lying about Planned Parenthood selling body parts [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":86861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[4212,19,4153,6460,3508,4154,70,4629,6461,14,82,5522],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Larry Wilmore equates supporting David Daleiden with believing conspiracy theories - Live Action News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Isn\u2019t it the worst when people believe falsehoods out of personal biases regardless of where the facts lead them?
