Janet Mefferd: abortion providers 'monsters' motivated by money

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/mefferd-abortion-providers-monsters-and-evil-humans-motivated-money

Zygote fetishist and right-wing radio lady Janet Mefferd said on her show that doctors who perform abortions are 'monsters' who only want money.

This comes after PBS announced plans to air a documentary called 'After Tiller,' about the state of abortion rights since the 2009 murder of Dr. George Tiller.

Janet immediately volunteered that churches should start to pay taxes, in order to be fair about the matter.

Wait, she didn't, I made that up.

They never work out of a desire to help people, because they have no empathy. They don't understand anyone who is not motivated by money.

When I played in a very good community orchestra, playing standard difficult orchestral repertoire, I heard people ask, "You don't get PAID?" because they couldn't understand people who love classical music so much they work hard at rehearsing it and performing it. We all played because we loved music.

John Maynard Keynes on Einstein in 1933. Stating that the Nazis couldn't figure out how to bribe Einstein, because he didn't care about money and power:

To our generation Einstein has been made to become a double symbol — a symbol of the mind travelling in the cold regions of space, and a symbol of the brave and generous outcast, pure in heart and cheerful of spirit. Himself a schoolboy, too, but the other kind — with ruffled hair, soft hands and a violin. See him as he squats on Cromer beach doing sums, Charlie Chaplin with the brow of Shakespeare...
So it is not an accident that the Nazi lads vent a particular fury against him. He does truly stand for what they most dislike, the opposite of the blond beast — intellectualist, individualist, supernationalist, pacifist, inky, plump... How should they know the glory of the free-ranging intellect and soft objective sympathy to whom money and violence, drink and blood and pomp, mean absolutely nothing? Yet Albert and the blond beast make up the world between them. If either cast the other out, life is diminished in its force. When the barbarians destroy the ancient race as witches, when they refuse to scale heaven on broomsticks, they may be dooming themselves to sink back into the clods which bore them.
