Randall Terry hooked up in the Schiavo case?
Apologies if this is a dupe. But I just discovered that Randall Terry, leader of "Operation Rescue", has immersed himself in the Schaivo case.

From www.talkingpointsmemo.com -

If I were a congressional Republican, or a supporter of the Schindler family's efforts to obtain federal intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, I'd be more than a little troubled by the high profile being assumed by the infamous anti-abortion extremist, Randall Terry. Terry accompanied Mary Schindler to a press appearance earlier today, and is also organizing an effort to get Jeb Bush and Florida legislators to visit Terri Schiavo.

One of the distinctive traits of Randall Terry is that he's been very honest in the past about his contempt for the political opportunism of Republicans who have found limited common cause with him in similarly "symbolic" cases. Here's how the conservative US Newswire summarized Terry's views on "partial-birth" abortion in 2003: "Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, says, 'Partial-Birth Abortion Ban is a Political Scam but a Public Relations Goldmine.'" The press release from Terry heavily quoted in the article blasted the "partial-birth" ban as illogical, hypocritical, and essentially meaningless, but went on to laud the issue for its "educational" potential.

3. Oh yes, Terry the Terrorist is there. Probably wearing his cowboy hat.
The slimeball gets off on this stuff. No doubt he stoked himself up by perusing his gay pornography "research" materials before he showed up at the hospice.

5. Randall Terry instructs his followers to hate their opponents.
"Hate is good. I want you to immerse yourself in hatred. Feel a wave of intolerance wash all over you" - this is what he tells the idiots who he sends out to "rescue" abortion clinics.
