Where (again) is RW outrage over Tiller's murder in CHURCH

[placton]

Remember the outrage over Obama's associations with
--- a rather mainstream pastor who thinks black folks are getting a shitty deal - god, WHO could believe THAT?
--- a guy he was on a board with years ago - respectable and honored good guy and teacher, with a somewhat disreputable (distant) past: unlike say
Gingrich, and all those GOP congress critters too numerous to mention and - a "terrorist."

Now this asshole kills a respected doctor IN THE MAN'S CHURCH. Clearly a tool of Op Rescue, Randall Terry, Bill-O, and their ilk. Incontrovertible evidence. But to this real live terrorist - the right's response is crickets chirping.

I remember living thru segregation and desegegation. Little girls being bombed. Men shot - and buried - for registering voters. Slime let off by chuckling southern juries. Now the anti's wanna bring it all back.

Damn.

1. They'll NEVER speak out against it

because they want liberal churches literally terrified that some rightwingnut will walk in with a gun and start shooting because the church is liberal.

[placton]

3. Who was it who said:

"Violence is as American as apple pie!" Eldridge Cleaver?

[dkf]

4. It is kind of scary that the right wing is gun crazy.

It would be ironic if we have to arm ourselves to protect against them.

[Gman2]

10. Bullcrap, the word is history. Not Irony.

If I didnt have one, I sure would after reading all the terrorist revolutionaries on Free rep.

[phantom power]

5. Nope.

they'll just tell themselves it was an illegitimate heathen liberal church. After all, what other kind of church would have an Evil Abortionist for a member?

11. Knoxville

Already happened......Knoxville July 2008.......Unitarian church shooting.....

[Kalyke]

12. Like the UU Church in Knoxville, TN. n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

17. They didn't give a crap about that, either

Even though two were murdered in front of elementary-school-aged children.

[get the red out]

19. Those infidel children?

They weren't in the appropriate home school christo-fascist environment, who cares?

[NJmaverick]

2. I have seen the RW express outrage toward the doctor

the left, the media and our President. As for the terrorist and his actions, they are muted at best. Just lip service to try and seperate themselves from the violence they encouraged.

[dkf]

6. Yeah they just want to create deniability.

[BolivarianHero]

7. He's just another nigra upsetting the apple cart...

We needed to blow up that church to save our southern way of life. *sarcasm off*

[get the red out]

8. They wouldn't regard it as a Church

if it isn't one of their churches. They would regard all other religious institutions as hell-bound and representing "the devil" or something.

9. But ... But

that is what JEEEEZUS (not Jesus) wants!

[progressoid]

13. There are dozens of comments over at FR that support your statemet

I read a bunch of them yesterday. Sorry, I can't go back and get a few to show you since I've already showered today. But lots of "what kind of church lets a man like that..." or "that's not a Christian church..." etc.

Never mind that it was a Lutheran church.

Idiots.

[teenagebambam]

14. To fundies

We Lutherans are only a step above Catholics...i.e. "not real Christians"

[mrcheerful]

15. Lutherans are not born again nor do they follow the old testament when they disagree with

the new. So they are not real christians to the anti life crowd.

16. here's one

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/8522010528.html

"Operation Rescue releases the following statement attributable to Troy Newman, President:

We are shocked at this morning's disturbing news that Mr. Tiller was gunned down. Operation Rescue has worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see him brought to justice. We denounce vigilantism and the cowardly act that took place this morning. We pray for Mr. Tiller's family that they will find comfort and healing that can only be found in Jesus Christ."

Hard to find other responses, google searches are bringing up mostly what the 'liberal blogs' are saying or what conservatives are saying about the liberal blogs.

[Kievan Rus]

18. The right-wing has violent whacko extremists

Right-wingers claim liberals are violent because a handful of whacko-anarchists smashed windows in Seattle ten years ago. They think that the crazy anarchists speak for all liberals, using their pea-brained logic.

Meanwhile, several right-wing uber-extremists kill abortion doctors. Timothy McVeigh was a right wing nut and he blew up a Federal building, where lots of young children died. A racist nut in Pittsburgh killed three police officers. A devoted follower of Coulter and Beck shot up a Unitarian church last July.

If we were to use Rushpublican logic to judge conservatives, then we could conclude that they're more dangerous than al-Qaeda, Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Fortunately, we liberals actually think and realize fringe violence commited by right-wing screwballs is just that...violence committed by a deranged lunatic fringe.
