Operation Rescue spits on military families
Operation Rescue spits on military families
via Daily Kos by Devilstower <rss@dailykos.com> on 6/1/09

If you haven't passed your tolerance limit for the radical right's vicious insanity, try this missive that went out only last week from from Scott Roeder's pals at Operation Rescue.

Yet another connection between Pres. Obama and late-term abortionist George Tiller. Gold Star Mother Betty Pulliam, who lost a son in Viet Nam, now works to take the lives of other women's sons and daughters at George Tiller late-term abortion mill in Wichita, Kansas. Yesterday, she breakfasted with President Obama and was honored in our nation's capital as part of a Memorial Day observance.

Pulliam, at 83, volunteers her time at Tiller's clinic on busy abortion days. She told the Wichita Eagle of her role as a Gold Star Mother, "You really don't want to belong to this club because in order to belong to this club, you have to lose a child. So nobody wants to belong to it."

"How ironic that Pulliam could make such a statement when she has dedicated a large portion of her life to insuring that other women lose their children to abortion. It is hypocrisy at best, and perhaps stems from some sick need to make sure that other women suffer as she has," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

What kind of people are in charge of Operation Rescue? The kind that have no problem attacking an 83-year-old Gold Star mother.

Denigrating the loss suffered by military families? Just another bit of bile from the people who peddle it by the barrel.

7. Of course not. He's another crazed rightwing nut who insults military families.
As in if you see one you see them all.
