Yesterday will told you about Sally Kohn and her latest column for CNN that blames the shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado on “incendiary lies” spread by pro-lifers. Here is what she tweeted again:
Spread incendiary lies against #PlannedParenthood & you're going to get horrible results.
On rhetoric & culpability https://t.co/G2hY33xdSt

She’s of course talking about the undercover videos that exposed how Planned Parenthood was selling aborted babies to use in research for a profit. Here’s Townhall’s Guy Benson with the fact-check of what she’s claiming as well as turning it around on Kohn for her continued use of “hands up don’t shoot”:
1) Political rhetoric is not responsible for violence. 2) Planned Parenthood did profit from organ harvesting. https://t.co/e2dVepf4Ab

By this standard (which I reject), perpetuators of "hands up don't shoot" (real lie) at fault for cop killings. No. https://t.co/e2dVepf4Ab

Over to you, Sally:
(1) A mistake is not a lie. And (b) phrase took on a broader symbolism. "Don't Tread On Me" also not just about flag https://t.co/YNTqHTBXIk

Kohn’s using of “hands up don’t shoot” was just a mistake? Tell that to all the looted and burned out businesses in Ferguson then! She’s also not a fan of Benson’s sourcing of the fact-check:
@guypbenson gee, do you think you could quote a source OTHER than the deceptively edited videos?!!!!
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) December 1, 2015
But she’s wrong again:
1st link is to a pamphlet, not a video.
2nd is quote from unedited videos, confirmed by https://t.co/IspfL9Azac. https://t.co/1XoutGB5nn
