Tiller’s accused killer claims that more anti-abortion violence is ‘planned around the country.’

This past weekend, abortion providers from across the country gathered in Wichita, Kan. to attend the funeral the of Dr. George Tiller, who was murdered last month. On the same weekend, the man accused of murdering Tiller told the AP that “similar violence was planned around the nation for as long as the procedure remained legal”:

Scott Roeder mugshotScott Roeder called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail, where he’s being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Dr. George Tiller one week ago.

“I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal,” Roeder said. When asked by the AP what he meant and if he was referring to another shooting, he refused to elaborate further.

It wasn’t clear whether Roeder knew of any impending violence or whether he was simply seeking publicity for his cause. Law enforcement authorities including the Justice Department said they didn’t know whether the threat was credible.

The Justice Department told the AP that Roeder’s “threat was being taken seriously and additional protection had been ordered for abortion clinics.” Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder dispatched U.S. Marshalls to protect “appropriate people and facilities around the nation” in the wake of Tiller’s murder.

Update Roeder also complained about the “deplorable conditions” in his jail cell, complaining that it was freezing. “I started having a bad cough. I thought I was going to have pneumonia,” he said.

    – - And yet Roeder feels now that he’s in prison he’s being “treated like a criminal.”

    These people are clinical and lack any self-awareness whatsoever.

    If he was pro-choice the whackadoodles would be in favor of waterboarding him for more information.

    Typical wacko fanatics, cognitive dissonance…

    Pro-Choice individuals that have murdered Pro-Lifers for their beliefs… 0
    Pro-Lifers that have murdered pro-choice individuals and innocent victims for their beliefs…84 and counting…

    Wow

    which God is it they follow again?


  4. Marie says:

    A key word here is “legal.”
    The zealots, the christianists, the sanctimoniously self-righteous among us who think they should control everyone else with their own version of morality and humanity are anarchists. They would provide no option for women (and girls) who find themselves in untenable situations with their own lives and/or the lives of the unborn at grave risk.

    As anarchists, they must be located, arrested and charged.

    Anyone talking about waterboarding this murderer to learn what he knows?

    We know the Kansas FBI was lax, at best, in responding to this idiot’s acts of terrorism. Now is the time to investigate Operation Rescue and other entities doing harm to good people for performing legal procedures.

    Sadly, i’m afraid it will. There is always a percentage of society that not only condones and encourages this type of behavior but there is an added segment that once they see one individual succeed in this type of behavior they just have to go out and emulate it…Hence the term copycat… :( sad but true :(

  13. misscoleopteramolly says:

    Can anybody tell me why the “life begins at conception” zealots are all about getting rid of abortionists and abortion clinics, but I don’t hear about fertility clinics getting bombed or the doctors there getting murdered?

    At an abortion clinic, a life that was never intended is ended. At a fertility clinic, embryos that were created deliberately are tossed in the trash.

    I suspect it’s because women who get unintentionally get pregnant are dirty and evil because they have had sex. Therefore, they should be punished. Fertility clinics are frequented by “nice” women (and their husbands) who want to have a baby.

    This whole issue has far more to do with how we as a society feel about women than it does about how we feel about babies.

    typical right wing terrorist


  15. RantingTommy says:

    Okay, so let’s see, they have a terrorist suspect detained and they have reason to believe he has knowledge of other imminent terrorist attacks… Why, shazam! That’s the ticking time bomb scenario! Call Jack Bauer! Where are those damn waterboards? Why isn’t the right wing calling for “enhanced” interrogation?


  25. trevinla says:

    Mr Terrorist is in a bit of a conundrum… he has set up a situation where he is in a place that he feels may make him sick – that situation is he killed a Doctor… Now what Doctor in his right mind would want to be in the same room as a Dr Killer…

    Man, It really sucks when Illegal actions have consequences!

    Well, I guess the Drs in Gitmo are military and have to follow orders (Illegal, Immoral or what ever) so I guess they could treat him there since it is not being closed anytime soon… He would get along well with the other terrorists there – if there are any there…

  35. curious says:

    These people are truly bad people. The fact that they use murder in place of reason stands as a monument to fanaticism. And the phony words of the nuts that run these group saying they “do not approve of what this man did,” is so much garbage.

    They celebrate and pop the champagne cork when a doctor or health care worker is killed. They juice up the rhetoric year round and then try to distance themselves publicly from what they have approved. Hypocrites and liars.

    None of this violence was prevalent until men began involving themselves in this issue in the late 70’s. And until the day that men’s reproductive rights are legislated, it remains a woman’s issue. Until a mans right to do as he will with his sperm is called into question, they have no business in this part of a womans life.

    When has anyone ever told a man how and where to put his sperm? When has a pharmacy refused to sell condoms to a man? They have to done this with women. Is the sperm of a man not the beginning of life too? I can find dozens of doctors that claim the cells that fit on the head of a pin, is not life. That comes into being much later.

    These people want all abortions outlawed. No matter what. They want a woman to go back to the back alley’s and the coat hangers and the disinfectants to end a pregnancy.

    But these are the same people that refuse sex education in schools. And no matter how stupid and archaic the notion that just saying no, will end the problem, they continue with the same mind set. No matter how many pregnancies and unwanted children are brought into the world by children, they still want an abstinence only rule. And when all that continues to fail, then they murder in the name of PRO LIFE.

    These are the real sinners. Not the doctors that provide a legal means of ending a pregnancy. And they celebrate murder and death. And they do it in the name of God or Jesus. They continue to force their own conscience and twisted morality on others at the most vulnerable time.

    Individual rights. Their rights end where mine begin. A woman’s right to choose is as fundamental as a man’s right to choose his right to reproduce or not.

    This man and others like him need to pay the highest price for the murders they condone. And I hope they do.

    ConservativeForProgress Says:
    It is obvious that most of you have never actually read Roe vs. Wade … [snip]… Where it went wrong in many peoples’ opinions is in its finding that the fetus itself has no 14th Amendment rights as he/she is not legally a person

    So Pee favors giving fetuses 14th Amendment Rights.

    Logically it would follow then that the fetus also has 1st Amendment Rights — free speech, free assembly, freedom of worship… and of course 2nd Amendment Rights.

    Thus if a fetus wants to arm himself in the womb, and a mother refuses to allow it, the fetus could theoretically sue its mother-to-be in a court of law.

    Presumably Pee would assign a Social Security number at conception.

    Right, Pee? I mean, we do want to be logically consistent, don’t we?

    Oh, wait — “logically consistent” that’s us, not you. Never mind.

    ____________________________________________________________

    Are you suggesting that only people who want to become pregnant should have sex? Lots of people have sex without wanting pregnancy — married and unmarried. And no method of birth control is fail-safe (except abstinence), although sterilization comes close.

    I believe the Hare Krishna sect has a sex policy you could live with. Their members are expected to be celibate, but married couples are permitted to have sex once a month, at the optimum time for conception. Does this correspond more to your beliefs?

    When I said “unintentionally pregnant”, I was differentiating between an act of sex where pregnancy was not the objective, and the deliberate fertilization of embryos that takes place in a fertility clinic.

    And your pompous reaction just reinforces my point about moralists who believe women should be punished for having sex.


  66. ralph the wonder locust says:

    the freedom Says:
    but but libs he hasn’t been found guilty of anything ala the guantanamo detainees.

    No. But he has been investigated and arraigned, and is entitled to a fair and speedy trial. See, in order for someone to be found guilty of a crime under our system, one must be a suspect first, and that’s the stage at which Roeder finds himself currently. Make sense?

    how could is he a terrorist w/o having been convicted of anything?

    There’s this thing called “evidence”, you see. Eyewitness testimony. Physical evidence. It’s all par of good investigative police work according to the law. You remember that quaint old concept, right? The rule of law?

    you’re adamant about labeling innocent the middle eastern thugs up to no good on the battlefield

    Wrong again. We’re adamant that the terrorism suspects should receive fair trials under law. If they are proven guilty, they should be subject to the penalties prescribed. If not, they should be freed. Is that too tough a concept for you?

    but a baby killer’s killer is a terrorist to you.

    Dr. Tiller did not “kill babies”.

    His murderer DID kill a fully-formed human being and it’s likely that he did it in order to accomplish political or social ends through intimidation and violence. THAT is a terrorist.

    real smart application of the word.

    Evidently, you wouldn’t know “smart” if it bit your nose.

    They probably believe that every sperm and every egg is a potential life and therefore no woman should ever menstruate again–since she didn’t fertilize the egg, she is committing abortion…It wouldn’t surprise me…logic is not their strong suit…

    That isn’t true CJ. Most Conservatives I know support balancing the right to privacy with the right of the state to protect the fetus, which is why most Conservatives support allowing abortion in those rare cases where rape or incest result in pregnancy (less than 1% of abortions) or when there is a serious, verified, imminent risk to the life of the mother. The problem most of us have is that what we have now is essentially abortion on demand which is often used as a method of birth control for the selfish convenience of the mother. What we have now largely ignores the second part of the Roe v. Wade equation.

    If these groups were pro-health care for poor children that would be one thing, but they arent, at that point they say we wont support welfare recipients, they steal our money!! No to SCHIP. Then if that fetus, once born, grows up, possibly to be gay, or poor, they would shun it.

    I call BS, they want to care for someone elses fetus when it costs them nothing and not care when they are a child, or adult, who does need medical and other support to survive.

    Certainly the “responsible” thing to do if you lack the resources to give it a good home..theres always adoption, of course, but definitely a hard working republican would agree its hardly responsible to ask the public to pay for the results of the accidental pregnancy as they would if the child became a ward of the state…..or I’m going to guess that maybe this is the one sitution where you think the american taxpayer should foot the bill for this persons child?

    not as convenient as birth control, which you right wing sissies are also against

    the idea that women have an abortion on a whim is a right wing canard that is total BS

    not to mention, the type of abortion Dr Tiller performed were medically necessary, on a fetus that would not make it, and were to prevent the death of the mother

    they also required the written approval of 2 other independent doctors

    Many of the people in Guantanamo are not guilty of anything, and our government has admitted it. Also, very few of the people in Guantanamo were captured “on the battlefield”. Most were sold to the US by warlords and neighbors who needed the money. And yet your side refers to every person who is in Guantanamo as being a “terrorist”.

    Roeder was seen killing Dr. Tiller. There are numerous witnesses who have identified him and the vehicle he used to flee the crime. Technically he is innocent until proven guilty, but there is every indication that he is guilty so it is entirely just to call him a terrorist.

    Another lie from RantingTommy. Why am I not surprised.

    I, along with most Conservatives, am very much in favor of forms of birth control that prevent conception. Abortion should not be used as a method of “birth conrol.”

    Perhaps the goal of the American Taliban is to destroy America by invoking violence nation wide which as they know could bring on the possibility martial law and the old bill titled HR 1955 “The Violent Radicalization Of Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act” so if and when they ever regain control of our government, they will be able to rule us with a bloody iron fist that will have the laws in place to squash any protest or dissent?

    Perhaps this is why under the republicans our banking and financial sector was allowed to run amok? Perhaps this is why under Bush, the housing market was allowed to collapse? Perhaps this is why Bush signed a treaty with Canada which allows the USA to use the Canadian military with our country in times of natural disasters, pandemics OR civil unrest? Perhaps this is why our US troops are seemly stuck in two never ending wars halfway around the world?

    By their (the “pro-lifers”) own logic, isn’t it the mother that is committing infanticide? Isn’t the doctor just an accessory to the “crime”? I don’t see any of them condoning jailing/prosecuting or shooting the mothers.
    Is it because we’re just poor,stuuupid, sex-crazed females that are being taken advantage of by the big bad abortion doctors?


  110. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Regarding the “pro-life”, “anti-abortion” rhetoric – there is a very big difference. When Gallup did the recent poll asking people if they were “pro-life” 51% said yes. And yet in the next question they asked if the respondent thought that abortion should be legal. Only 23% said that abortion should be illegal. The remainder said it should be legal always, most circumstances or only a few circumstances.

    So CFP, don’t you think that’s a rather expensive form of birth control.

    BTW CFP, are you against abortion if a woman becomes pregnant through rape or incest? Do you think that if a mother might die if she takes her pregnancy to term, she should be allowed to die, along with the fetus?

    That proves nothing, you idiot. Your link says that 47% of women 15-44 who have had abortions have had at least one prior abortion.

    Since most women have at least 12 ovulations per year, which equals roughly 350 possibilities of becoming pregnant over that time period — two abortions hardly constitutes birth control.

    You don’t know what’s going on in these women’s lives, do you? Of course, you don’t care. You just want to reduce women to incubators for the unborn.

Although most all atrocities were started by someone with a belief system, it’s also true that they were started to oppose a belief system.

    The belief systems themselves aren’t the problem. The people employing them to kill are.

    I know support balancing the right to privacy with the right of the state to protect the fetus, which is why most Conservatives support allowing abortion in those rare cases where rape or incest result in pregnancy (less than 1% of abortions) or when there is a serious, verified, imminent risk to the life of the mother.

    There is no right to privacy if the state is “protecting” the fetus. It’s not something you can “balance.” If what happens inside a woman’s uterus is a matter of state regulation, then she has no right to privacy whatsoever. Your attempts to make yourself appear even-minded and compromising on this are perfectly transparent.

    … Even with that, you cannot disregard the finding that the right of the state to protect the fetus must be balanced with the woman’s right to privacy. …
    … that many don’t think the state has any rights at all to protect the “fetus” until “it” takes it’s first breath.

    I didn’t finish reading all the posts, but to start with the obvious…. you are suggesting that there is inherently some kind of socialism here. That the state has “rights”, or more accurately you suggest the state has a “duty”, to “protect the fetus” up until birth — moresoe you imply clearly that you believe the state has a “mandate” to protect a fetus.

    Nice qualifier… “up until birth”. That gets you off the hook about taking care of the baby and raising, feeding, clothing it (etc.).

    But this state mandate to protect a fetus… thus, the people of a state are liable for the safety and well-being of a fetus? Then, does it not follow by simple logic that the state should be providing for a safe environment, proper nourishment, etc. for that fetus? Should not the state be footing the bill for every preganant woman’s needs until she gives birth? This would, logically, include the hospital care to properly and safely give birth. Why is all of that not paid for entirely by the state, if it is their mandate to care for these fetuses? Why are not you and those who think like you campaigning and arguing for these things to be paid for by the state, since it is the state’s responsibility to see these fetuses brought to term?

    Or is it (as it is) that you are merely arguing that a woman who becomes pregnant, regardless of cause, should be forced to carry that fetus to term, and then to raise that baby? You are not interested in the “state’s ‘right’ to see the fetus brought to term”: you are arguing that a pregnant woman should be forced to bring that fetus to term by law, regardless of her concerns in the matter.

    And I would assume that you have, always, been responsible and safe with your reproductive system, and respectful of the reproductive systems of others in your personal dealings, for you to hold such a position.

    Yes, it is. But a baby is not a fetus. Nor is a fetus a baby. We actually use two separate words here because they are two separate things.

    How many fetuses can be put on a life insurance policy?

    What rights are undeniably given to a fetus?

    How long will a fetus survive on its own in the open air?

They were all ordinary everyday women. The kind you see in the grocery store, at the post office, driving down your street.
    Some were young, some were old. They were not bawling their heads off or hiding in shame. They just didn’t want to have a child for whatever reason they had in their mind. Which is entirely their decision as it should be. In retrospect with my luck, the kid would have turned out to be a troll on a political forum webboard anyway so I am far better off.

    Funny how you maroons get everything just exactly backwards, jimmy…

    in fact, a “baby” is what you call a foetus which has managed to be born. When they get born, they’re babies; til then they’re ‘foeti’. They get killed, and die, all the time, by various ways, just like all the rest of life. Abortion is no more ‘murder’ than clearing a big ol’ loogee from your throat…

    If abortion is murder, are you in favor of charging the mother with infanticide or 1st degree murder, punishable with life in prison or the death penalty??

    Back to Scott Roeder; I’m fascinated by the egocentric nature of his complaints. He doesn’t seem smart enough to realize that Martyrs embrace their deeds and gladly bear whatever punishment society metes out. Roeder has behaved like any other run of the mill low-life. Having failed to earn self worth, he tried to steal from someone who had. Now, like those who encouraged him, he runs from accountability.

    Wrong. Prior to birth, fetuses have a shell-like casing over their brain cells, preventing neural networks to form. Those shed off shortly after the birth trauma, bringing the brain cells “on line” and constructing the basis of a mind.

    There are very clear and specific biological differences between a fetus and a baby; they include the ability to breathe water, use of a placenta, etc. But the one I cited in the previous paragraph is extremely relevant to whether we’re dealing with a person or not.

    Not the same thing. That’s killing in opposition to religion because religion, as a power structure, is a threat to any other totalitarian power structure. It was not aimed at instilling atheism in the populace or evangelizing it. In the case of the Communist writings you mention, again, the belief system at heart is Communism, not atheism.

    So after having had multiple miscarraiges, do you think I should be charged with a crime if I attempt pregnancy again and lose it one more time? Because, obviously, that would put me on par with a serial killer. After all, I am just making embryos to flush them, right?

    It’s men like you who have zero concept of what it means to be a woman that cheese me off beyond belief. Does it suck for me that there are women out there who don’t want their babies, and yet I want one and can’t have one? Yup.

    ConservativeForProgress,

    The Republicans had the majority in Congress for 12 long years, with another Republican the White House for 8 of those 12.

    You and I will both agree that 99.9% of those Republicans were, and are, will say that they are against abortion. So, did they push for a Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion? Hell no.

    Why? Because they use the issue of abortion as a political football, that’s why. They truly don’t give a damn about abortion and the deaths of the unborn, for if they did, they’d have done something about it long ago. Yet with the same as flag burning and gay marriage, it provides them with a wedge issue, only it’s a much more serious issue.

    Yet if they try to amend the Constitution, and the states fail to ratify it, then they lose.

    No. They’re just reporting it. I’m mocking it. Look—a hypochondriac! This is what happens when trolls grow old and leave their basement with a weapon.

    Most of the women who had late-term abortions from Dr. Tiller wanted their babies. (Some had even used medical procedures to get pregnant.) That’s why they were still pregnant in the eighth month. The procedure required the signature of two doctors. It was a risky surgery, performed when the other option was worse—having a baby so physically defective that it would have a very short life of drastic surgical intervention and pain, and no opportunity to bond with its mother.

    The accusation that women have late-term abortions as birth control is without merit.

    Now that I got that off my chest, I certainly hope that the murderer’s known associates are facing some very pointed questions from federal authorities.

    And, since that’s off my chest, If TP can add a preview function they can ban IP’s that continually disrupt the site with unspeakably vile sh!t.


  227. pete says:

    So, trolls, how does it feel to be part of a terrorist movement that has threatened continuing violence against the U.S.A?


  228. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    For you to honor someone that committed murder is beneath even the lowest low I thought a Christian would go.

    I was wrong. There is no low to which Christians will not go.


  229. pete says:

    On the rare occasions I wish to see a response from a stupid, vicious, murderous, vile troll I address said POS by name.


  230. pete says:

    That’s no Christian, Levi. It’s not even human. It’s an enemy of humanity and our society.


  231. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    I do not support the use of terrorism, Prolife_activist, does and calls me slime.


  232. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    The anti-abortion wingnuts are just victims of propaganda. They do not understand basic morality, despite that being the ultimate purpose of their faith.


  233. e_to_the_pOTATO BUG says:

    prolife activist, you sound a lot like someone zealous ive heard of called osama bin laden. such poorly informed moral character similarities. keep killing and spreading your brand of death. we think your silliness is cute.


  234. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    You think it is heroic to commit murder? It is terrorism, and you are just as guilty of that terrorist murder as the murderer himself. May god have mercy on your worthless pitiful soul.


  235. ElBruce says:

    Man, the trolls will say anything just to try to rile us up…

    .

    ralph the wonder locust Says:

    Not the same thing. That’s killing in opposition to religion because religion, as a power structure, is a threat to any other totalitarian power structure.

    You keep saying that, but the writings of early Communist thinkers target religion specifically for completely different reasons. The official position of Communist governments has been that there is no God. That’s a law. And it’s atheism. Therefore, atheism is the law. Establishement of atheism and persecuting religions in its name was not a coincidence, or a side-effect of centralizing power.

    .

    ralph the wonder locust Says:

    ElBruce, this is fascinating information. Can you point me to some good basic resources on the web where I can learn more about it?

    It was a Life magazine big-book on infant physiology. But here’s a relevant link. Basically, the process of interconnecting neurons starts around birth. The underlying basis of a mind starts forming gradually at that point. There are some other processes in place that prevent it from happening before birth, though.


  236. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    Apparently Prolife_activist cannot have a discussion without resorting to insults, which does not surprise me at all.

    But to correct your correction…

    An abortion terminates a pregnancy, it does not kill a baby. Shooting a Doctor does kill an adult. Not an unborn adult, but an actual living person with family and friends. There is nothing heroic about murder. There is nothing heroic about defending a murderer.


  237. pastcaring says:

    Prolife_activist Says:

    Levi,

    “For you to honor someone that committed murder is beneath even the lowest low I thought a Christian would go.”

    Sorry, it is not murder: it is a heroic sacrificial act defending the unborn. Grovel before him Levi you slime!

    And on the day of reckoning Jesus won’t even know your name…please do not reply…I don’t care what you ‘believe’

    So can all of those folks wh understand embryology please raise their hands? Thanks. I don’t want to embarass those unprepared and unqualified. Okay let’s go.

    #1) What is a gamete

    Maybe we should take these questions one at a time…

    I’ll go slowly for the hayseeds….


  239. pete says:

    In my opinion we have been visited by an unrepentant criminal. I have emailed the staff at TP and recommended that the FBI be notified. If I don’t receive a reply? I’ll contact them myself.

    Prolife_activist has displayed a dangerous character and law enforcement officials should be made aware.


  240. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    Prolife_activist, you pose a clear and present threat to the security of the United States of America. You and all your fellow wingnuts belong in prison. You do not deserve to be free. You are a terrorist sympathizer and I hope you spend the rest of your life in prison, right along with Roeder.


  241. barfly says:

    Oh…me me me…choose me….

    Gamete…

    A reproductive cell having a single set of chromosomes, especially a mature sperm or egg.


  243. dbadass says:

    pete can you give me a minute? This won’t take long…


  244. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    Prolife_activist, you belive that the use of violence is an acceptable means to achieve your ends. That is not acceptable. You belong in prison for the rest of your life.


  245. pete says:

    Shoot, dbadass. However, I may have to take a break and puke after reading the sh!t from this effing terrorist.


  246. dbadass says:

    No answer? Okay let’s try this. Using a Venn diagram identify and decribe the germ cell layers and the tissues and organs they give rise to. Feel free to jump in whereever you feel comfortable Prolife_activist…


  247. dbadass says:

    sorry pastcaring. I have to dock you 1/2 point for failure to use the term haploid…
    Still you are outscoring Prolife_activist…


  248. barfly says:

    You actually have to do something to commit a crime.

    Um, conspiracy is also a crime. Your “sharing” could be viewed as an attempt to establish an illegal conspiracy.


  249. Keith says:

    JimmyBB,
    According to your reasoning, anyone would have the right to kill the entire Bush administration. They did cause the deaths of one million people—needlessly.

  252. dbadass says:

    Definately extra points for the diagram. pastcaring gets the bonus question.

    In an interpretive dance, show how miscarriages are not god killing babies….


  253. Keith says:

    dbadass, California has tough restrictions on nocturnal emissions.


  254. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    Prolife_activist, Your belief system poses a threat to the domestic tranquility of the United States of America. You can (and should) be arrested and held without charge for as long as necessary in the name of Homeland Security.

    You are a beast without a soul, an animal without a conscious. You are no better than any religious fundamentalist that would seek to force his/her will on others through the use of violence. You make me sick and I hope God punishes you accordingly.


  255. pete says:

    “Conspiracy”. Look it up. Our new vile troll thinks that belonging to a terrorist movement isn’t a chargeable offense? Ha!

    It, and it’s kind, will actually start to hear that knock they fear. And, just like the vicious animal that murdered Dr. Tiller, they will piss their pants and complain about being cold in jail.

  257. ralph the wonder locust says:

    Guys, don’t let Prolife_activist troll rile you up.

    he’s obviously not for real. I’m not positive that he’s a progressive playing dress-up, but that’s my suspicion. Still, I suppose it could be a middle school kid calculating the best ways to get a rise out of progressives…


  258. e_to_the_pOTATO BUG says:

    Prolife_activist Says:

    Pete,

    There is nothing, absolutely nothing they can do to me for simply having a belief system and expressing that belief. You actually have to do something to commit a crime.

    Exactly, like when you write and speak your belief based hatred and lies to the point that it drives people to go out and hurt someone. (see Spanish Inquisition, Salem Witchcraft, Adolf Hitler)

    Yes, braindead, what you say can motivate people to cause both harm and good. There is a reason “motivational” speakers have jobs. The same reason domestic and foreign terrorists are able to recruit. The words you speak are pure evil and have no place in a civilized discourse based arena.

    Get half a brain and come back, maybe we’ll listen by then.


  259. pastcaring says:

  261. pete says:

    I suppose it could be a joke gone too far. I’m not willing to take that chance. Anyone who would promote and defend such a position should be examined by law enforcement. I think that this is a golden opportunity to let the “Patriot act” actually serve to defend innocent people.

  264. ElBruce says:

    The person typing as Prolife_activist registered that name just to go into this specific thread with the hopes of riling us up by advocating murder. It has no actual opinions or ability to argue them. Therefore, there is no point arguing with it.

    Although it brings up an interesting point… what would happen if someone murdered an extreme anti-abortion activist on the premise that they were advocating murder?


  265. pastcaring says:

  266. dbadass says:

    damn pastcaring is doing well.

    Create a shoebox diarama depicting your impressions of a late term abortion.

    Just kidding…
    Let’s instead go with an easy one…
    Distinguish between a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, and a baby. If you wish make clay models of each. After I grade them I will just throw them in the trash but whatever you’ll still get the bonus points….

    hmmm…on second thought…


  269. dbadass says:

    Prolife_activist doesn’t seem to wanna participate. pastcaring wins! Abortions all around…

    Thanks for playing pastcaring. You are a good sport. All of us despite our differences just want abortion to be an option. No one is trying to sell them as anything more than a private and complicated decision between a medical professional and those involved. All tose other asswipes should get out of the way…


  270. pastcaring says:

    dbadass Says:

    Prolife_activist doesn’t seem to wanna participate. pastcaring wins!

    I win I win!!! Yippee…wait…by default?

    Seriously, on the abortion issue…it is a very difficult decision that no one I’ve ever known enjoys contemplating an it shouldn’t be reduced to an ideological tug of war…trying to justify killing someone, in this case, Tiller, over it is beyond me…


  271. pete says:

    I have no control over TP and don’t know if they are legally required to act on complaints made by bloggers. But, I have asked the FBI to look into it.

    Tick-tock, terrorist. They are coming for you.
    Sweet dreams.


  272. pete says:

    Tell it to the investigating agents, terrorist. Each of your posts creates a new topic of discussion.


  273. pete says:

    I emailed my local FBI office and included the whole text and links to your disturbing comments. I included my full name, phone number, and home address. I also spoke with a very tired sounding operator who assured me that I would be contacted tomorrow.

    I also emailed the staff at TP (Think Progress) and asked them to contact the FBI, or appropriate authorities, and asked them to provide your personal information if it’s legal for them to do so.


  274. pete says:

    Perhaps they will ignore me. Or they could tell me there’s nothing I, or they, can do. However, I won’t ignore them. Or you.

    So pro-life he wishes death upon his opponents!


  276. UCSBKitty says:

    Jesus said the law is summed in loving God and living your neighbor.

    Loving your neighbor is calling upon him to drop dead because he disagrees with you on abortion and celebrating the murder of Dr. Tiller, who knew?!

    Prolife_activist Says:

    Actually, if you met me you would most likely find me very kind to both people, anaimals, children and seniors. I volunteer regularly feeding homeless people, adopt stray pets and I visit nursing homes. Children love me and are drawn to me, as I am very playful with them. I volunteer for activities that help young people learn and I used to a volunteer visiting folks in nursing homes.

    I have a very protective instinct and I see the killing of Tillman to be an act that protects the weak and helpless unborn.

    You seem to have a misconception about Christian morality. The Bible says that God gave us a law, “Thou shalt not kill”. That means everybody, including Roeder.

    Now, I understand you want Doctors like Tiller to stop killing as well, but for anyone to take Gods law into their own hands violates another little rule of the Bible, that judgement is the realm of God, not man. “Judge not lest ye be judged”.

    Perhaps when this was written, it did not mean that God would judge you, but your fellow men would do so. In Roeder’s case, he judged Tiller to be guilty of murder, then took the law into his own hands. Now a jury of his peers will likely judge Roeder guilty of murder, and no one will have to take the law into their own hands to do it.

    As for Prolife_activist, its fellow humans are judging it because it has judged Tiller guilty of murder. We find Prolife_activist guilty of Hypocrisy and that it posts a threat to the security of our Nation. Please remove it from the streets before it kills.

    It tries to make excuses for its behavior. It claims that it is kind, and that it volunteers to do good acts as excuses for supporting domestic terrorism. It says that its “protective instinct” forces it to act against the law. These excuses are invalid when you violate the laws of both God and man.
