This kind of ignorant moral equivalence is increasingly common in the American public discourse, and has the effect of lulling Americans into complacency regarding the actual jihad threat. Well, see, they’re just like those irritating pro-lifers.

“SHAME: Vile Sharpton Show Lets Guest Compare Pro-Lifers to ‘Suicide Bombers,'” by Brad Wilmouth, NewsBusters, August 29, 2021:

On Saturday’s PoliticsNation show, MSNBC again showed its hostility to pro-lifers when host Al Sharpton allowed a guest to ridiculously liken opponents of abortion to “suicide bombers.” Here’s the full quote: ” What it reminds me of quite honestly is a suicide bomber, someone who feels like they have the right and the moral duty to mess up somebody else’s life for the greater good.”…

It’s grounded in the right to privacy that is within the Constitution. And I find it really interesting that part of this argument is an argument about, you know, ‘the right to an abortion is not explicitly listed in the Constitution.'”

She then not only claimed that there is no “right to bear arms” in the Constitution even though the Second Amendment uses those exacts words, but she also smeared pro-lifers as being like murderers:

But you know what? Neither is the right to bear arms.
