How telling. Randall Terry says he doesn't care if people think that he is calling for violence
If you wanted confirmation that the Randall Terry/Wiley Drake wing of the Republican Party is making a veiled call for violence, well then, here you go:

"I don't want to be a wussy on the sidelines saying, 'Oh, we're just here to educate people and we want to all get along and we want to all respect each other's ,'" he replies. The activist describes that approach using a derogatory phrase, and further concludes saying, "I don't respect the opinions of child killers. It's a damnable, disgusting act of murder."

With the recent murder of Kansas abortionist George Tiller and the pending passage of hate crimes legislation, OneNewsNow asked Terry if there was a less controversial way to get the point across -- a way that would not be construed as promoting physical violence. "I'm way more concerned about the pro-lifer who was assassinated outside of a school in Michigan -- Jim Pouillon," was his reply to the suggestion.

1. Out of curiosity, why is Dr. Tiller always referred to as an "abortionist?"
I mean, is that all he did from nine to five every day?

My dentist sometimes extracts teeth, in addition to the many other services he provides, and no one says "there goes tooth-puller Fred Benson."


Just curious. Nothing against the OP; it just happened to occur to me at the moment.

2. It's a slur, I think guys like Terry are trying to make it sound like an ideology
Edited on Wed Oct-28-09 04:50 PM by ck4829
Yes, caring for women's health is apparently an ideology to these clowns.

3. Yeah. Jackasses.
That's pretty much what I figured. What galls me is when the (liberal) MSM repeats the slur without disclaimer or clarification. The victim is implicitly painted as the criminal from the first sentence of the news story!

8. Exactly...Randall Terry does not spend all of his time molesting children...
and it would be patently unfair to refer to Randall Terry as child molester Randall Terry

5. "assassinated"?!
The killer was deemed incompetent to stand trial. He had also shot someone who wasn't an anti.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jim_Pouillon

Harlan James Drake was arraigned for the September 11, 2009 shooting deaths of anti-abortion activist Jim Pouillon, 63, and Michael Fuoss, 61. On September 30th he was deemed incompetent to stand trial and was remanded into the custody of the Michigan Department of Mental Health...

Pouillon was shot At 7:20 a.m. EDST by a gunman in a passing vehicle as he protested across the street from Owosso High School in Owosso, Michigan. One witnesses recorded the license plate number of the vehicle, and an hour later police arrested Harlan James Drake. Drake indicated to police that later that same morning he had also shot Michael Fuoss at the gravel business Fuoss owned. Authorities said Fuoss was not connected to the pro-life movement.

A Center for Reproductive Rights spokesperson said the shooting did not seem to be tied to the abortion debate due to the murder of Fuoss.

7. It's even more ironic because they were out and about saying that Scott Roeder was crazy
Edited on Wed Oct-28-09 05:01 PM by ck4829
Even though it actually seems that Scott was actually quite cunning.

6. Randall Terry is one of the most vile pieces of shit that ever lived.
His death can't come soon enough.

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you... I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism." -- August 16, 1993.

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you’d better flee, because we will find you, we will try you and we will execute you." (reportedly said of doctors
