Fine example of the terrorism that your side is so good at! Maybe Obama can do what his predecessors never wanted to do, and crack down on this right-wing domestic terrorism.
On another note, here is a comment from another blog I follow about Dr. Tiller,
"In 1994 my wife and I found out that she was pregnant. The pregnancy was difficult and unusually uncomfortable but her doctor repeatedly told her things were fine. Sometime early in the 8th month my wife, an RN who at the time was working in an infertility clinic asked the Dr. she was working for what he thought of her discomfort. He examined her and said that he couldn’t be certain but thought that she might be having twins. We were thrilled and couldn’t wait to get a new sonogram that hopefully would confirm his thoughts. Two days later our joy was turned to unspeakable sadness when the new sonogram showed conjoined twins. Conjoined twins alone is not what was so difficult but the way they were joined meant that at best only one child would survive the surgery to separate them and the survivor would more than likely live a brief and painful life filled with surgery and organ transplants. We were advised that our options were to deliver into the world a child who’s life would be filled with horrible pain and suffering or fly out to Wichita Kansas and to terminate the pregnancy under the direction of Dr. George Tiller.
We made an informed decision to go to Kansas. One can only imagine the pain borne by a woman who happily carries a child for 8 months only to find out near the end of term that the children were not to be and that she had to make the decision to terminate the pregnancy and go against everything she had been taught to believe was right. This was what my wife had to do. Dr. Tiller is a true American hero. The nightmare of our decision and the aftermath was only made bearable by the warmth and compassion of Dr. Tiller and his remarkable staff. Dr. Tiller understood that this decision was the most difficult thing that a woman could ever decide and he took the time to educate us and guide us along with the other two couples who at the time were being forced to make the same decision after discovering that they too were carrying children impacted by horrible fetal anomalies. I could describe in great detail the procedures and the pain and suffering that everyone is subjected to in these situations. However, that is not the point of the post. We can all imagine that this is not something that we would wish on anyone. The point is that the pain and suffering were only mitigated by the compassion and competence of Dr. George Tiller and his staff. We are all diminished today for a host of reasons but most of all because a man of great compassion and courage has been lost to the world."

If you know what nobody else knows about the killer, let the New York Times know. If your imagination is running wild, say so.
As for Dr. Tiller, I'm trying mightily to avoid saying anything about him or that which he'll be best remembered for.
My imagination running wild? There have been far too many intstances of crazy wingnuts killing people in the last few months for this to be my imagination running wild!
Do you just believe that terrorism is waged by brown skinned people? Are you really that out of touch?
Drew
So this is a crazy wingnut. You have the exclusive.
Exclusive? Hell no! What does that mean? Do you think I am a journalist who gives a rat's ass about an "exclusive"?
You know what is going to come out about this, and you know that it ain't gonna be nice to your side... maybe that is why you are so mum on the issue?

Fine example of the terrorism that your side is so good at! Maybe Obama can do what his predecessors never wanted to do, and crack down on this right-wing domestic terrorism.A plethora of conservatives have condemned this act as murder, as do I. Attempts to garner political advantage by blaming this on "the right wing" are disgusting.
On the other hand, here's a statement about the murder of 8-month pregnant Sharon Tate, said statement made by the woman in who's living room Barack Obama began his political career:
"Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in pig Tate's belly. Wild!"
That's Bernadette Dorhn, wife of Bill Ayers, both of them your president's political mentors, doobie. Ms. Dorhn is suggesting it was a really cool move to stick a fork into a dead fetus.
Where's your president's moral authority, doobie, when he began his career in these people's living room and worked closely with Bill Ayers on the Anneneburg Project? Where's your shame, doobie?
I'm watching on television the scenes from Kansas of people mourning the death of this abortion doctor. I find it perplexing how some people can turn their belief in the sanctity of innocent human life on and off.
Salt Dick,
Political advantage? There is no political advantage here, just a terrible, sad end for a man who helped many women with their complex pregnancies. I just figured I would call it as I see it, considering that Jerry does the same.
Did Bernadette Dorhn help to kill Sharon Tate? Is that what you are trying to get at? How many tasteless comments about many topics, can we find from the conservative side?
I have no shame, nor should I have any shame... if I should have shame, then you should have your part as well for electing that poor SOB GWB.
