The terror attack which took the life of Doctor George Tiller, a health care provider, could have and should have been prevented.

And then there are those who continue to encourage those who would commit terrorist acts such as this....as well as encourage those who would assassinate the President.

Fucked up is right. I don't understand how these groups encouraging violence can be left unchecked for the most part, but random brown people can be snatched off the streets of Karachi and thrown into the brig, without charges, indefinitely. This is a much bigger and much more realistic threat, in my opinion.
Riot Kitty - Difference is skin color and location. They won't follow the white psychopaths because them and their Christo-fascist handlers would be up in arms about harassment.
They all knew that Roeder was a danger, and yet they didn't do anything about it.
Are you for real?
Anonymous - Why yes, I am for real.
You don't seem to be though, you have no name.
The present state of law enforcement apparently doesn't allow them to pick up dangerous white criminals if they happen to be christian. I don't know. It's depressing.
Nancy - It sure seems to be that way. I think there may be certain elements of the law enforcement community who agree with what this home-grown terrorist did.
This may be old news (but I've been out of the loop this week); it seems that the killer vandalized Tiller's clinic the day prior to the shooting.
An obsessive stalker with murder on his mind.
I don't blame you about the anonymous commenters. I think they are pussies if they can't at least fake a screen name...
skyewriter - Yes, I saw that about the vandalism Roeder did to Dr. Tiller's clinic the day before.
I've been thinking about doing that with the jerks that come in as Anonymous (not all are) and this last nob was the last straw. I think that kept him/her from coming back. I see assholes like this one, or worse, at other blogs. Most of the time they come in to get people pissed of and arguing, and then make comments about the reactions people have.
I'm not going to put up with their bullshit. If I have to I'll do the comment moderation to keep them out.
Its old news and its not old news. The problem is that Americans have a short attention span. Law Enforcement has basically been ordered to ignore these assholes because apparently, stalking people in the hopes of scaring them into changing their political ideology is considered a part of the First Amendment Rights that all Americans possess. During the last 8 years of the Bush Administration things were really bad, because think of all that money and clout being pumped into Extremist Organizations and their fronts.
So I dont really act surprised all that much, but seeing how this kind of First Amendment activity isn't really considered big news [til a doctor isnt shot in his home or clinic, but in a House of God instead] I am not surprised that other people view this as New, and different and shocking. Look at the 2006 article posted at AAII---that was two years ago that the attempt to redefine Birth Control as Abortificants and therefore Abortions, so that these items might also become illegal when the time came to overturn Roe V Wade.
Most people think that this is only about Abortion. No. That is just the hot button issue, the cherry on the shit sundae if you will. The real issue here is about pushing women out of public life and reducing their impact politically and socially, and one very easy way to do that is to tie a woman to her reproductive cycle with no legal or safe way to mitigate the chances for multiple pregnancies.
Seeing Eye Chick - I agree with you. This isn't anything really new, it just happened in a church...and that's not new either. The shooter in that church in Kentucky was gunning for anyone he thought was liberal, because of that book written by Goldberg from FOX.
You are so right that this is not just about abortion. It's about the control of women by white "christian" males. According to what they believe their "bible" says, women are to be totally subservient to men. Misogynist bastards is all they are!
