    Do you think maybe the MSM has a double standard?

    Martin Haskell runs an illegal, unlicensed business in Ohio. Do you see the MSM getting their knickers in a twist about this?

    And — shades of “He’s not JOE! He’s SAM!” — Haskell’s name isn’t even Martin. It’s WILLIAM Martin MUDD Haskell. Yes, his name is Mudd.

    Gosh, why do you think William Mudd the business owner gets a pass by the media, while Sam/Joe the man who dreams of owning a business gets crucified?

    William Martin Mudd Haskell is the guy who popularized Partial Birth Abortion. His unlicensed business is an abortion clinic.
