Sean Hannity's culture of death
Proponents of a culture of life are often charged with forwarding an incomplete picture of what their ideal world would look like and accused of being disproportionately concerned with fetuses and infants. This is complicated by the fact that too often proponents of a culture of life act completely un-Christian. Take, for instance, Sean Hannity.
Despite the football-throwing Fox frontman being vociferously anti-abortion, he recently found time to defend Byron Smith, the Minnesota man convicted this week of murdering two teenagers.
In graphic audio released after Smith's trial, a full recording of two murders can be heard. There is plenty to be viscerally disturbed by in the recording, from the groans of a dying teenager to the shrieks of his teenage female companion, all set against the shattering sound of gunshots. But the most upsetting refrain is Smith's own voice, mocking the girl as she dies — telling her repeatedly, "you're dying" — and then, after everything else has gone silent, breathing heavily and assuring himself "I'm not a bleeding heart liberal."
It's the sort of thing that stays with you. Evidently Hannity wasn't as disconcerted, though, arguing that Smith's conviction was bogus because, "They broke into the guy's house." Which is true: The two teenagers were illegally on Smith's property when he killed them, and he had been waiting armed in his basement for an opportunity to do just that.
