Loading ...Scott Roeder is the prime suspects name and Little Green Footballs has established a ‘link’ between him and Operation Rescue. First, the man is just a suspect at this time and no weapon has been recovered. Hot Air has already started censorship of comments.
I’m going to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and leave comments open, but if I see anything in the vein of what LGF has noted, the thread will be shut and offenders summarily banned. If you can’t resist pissing on a man’s grave, doubtless there are other blogs that will accommodate you. Don’t let me down.
Hot Air and others had no problem “pissing on a man’s grave” when it came to Saddam Hussein. I suspect that Tiller has killed as many human beings in his lifetime as Saddam did, so please clarify the difference for me.
Once again, I am not condoning what happened. Tiller had a family who loved him, and they are grieving this evening. He was a human being and none of us are God, deciding who lives and who dies. God is quite capable of working that one out without our help. The fact that this occurred in his Church is quite despicable as well. The outrage that the Left and the One feel about his untimely death, is the same outrage I feel about the tens of thousands who lost their lives at his hands. Lets just not demonize one and forget the sins of the other.
More as this story unfolds. Gateway Pundit is doing an excellent job of covering the story and is worth a read.
Update:
A comment from Hot Air that is rather insightful…
Goodness. You guys need to step back and stop the handwringing about the political repercussions of this. Good grief the leftists have you all jumping at shadows for no reason. His supporters will of course delight in making hay but they are easily rebuttable hypocrites.
Consider with all of Obama’s crimes so far and the nascent discontent in the country he will cause an explosion he DOES NOT want if he uses this isolated incident as a pretext to; 1) curtail talk radio 2) attack the 2nd Amendment 3) use the Patriot Act to “put anyone away” 4) destroy the pro-life movement.
Ask yourselves would any of these moves a) be justified? (no) and b)cause reactions in the anti Obama populace that he won’t be able to manage? (yes).
We have a wiley criminal in the White House not a stupid one.
Big Dog is the first I have seen to notice this breaking story.
The shooting prompted U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to direct federal marshals to “offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation,” according to a statement from the Department of Justice. – CNN
That is why this assassination is so bad for the pro-life movement. Already there are those bring up the “domestic terrorism” memo with a “I told you so!” Now the Federal Marshall’s are moving to protect the rest of the abortion industry. A new assault on peaceful Right-to-Life protesters and wacky right-wing extremists (like me) awaits us. If Roeder intended to help the pro-life cause, he has failed. All he has done is create a martyr, and martyr’s can be powerful.
It is also sad that this “domestic terrorism” story from the One’s hometown is being pushed to the back burner as a result.
