Is purple-heart bandaid wearing Mary Shannon terrorist Shelley Shannon's mother?
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 02:25 AM by REP
In 1993, terrorist Rachelle "Shelley" Shannon tried to kill Dr George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas. She was only able to wound him in the arms. She was also convicted of a number of clinic bombings and is now serving 10 years for the attempted murder of Dr Tiller and 20 years for the clinic fire bombings. She remains a member of the terrorist group, the so-called 'Army of God,' a group that claims it is called to commit acts of terror based on the teachings of their religion (Christianity).

Mary Shannon is the woman who showed up with that tasteful bandaid with the purple glitter heart on it to mock the service of an American veteran of the Vietnam war during the 2004 convention, and was a delegate for McCain during the 2008 convention. She is a known supporter of Rachelle "Shelley" Shannon ... but is she her mother? And why is McCain associating with supporters of domestic terrorism?

Ask a lot of midwesterners ... we really haven't forgotten about the Summer of Terror brought to us by the antiabortion terrorists and their supporters and sympathizers. I'd like some answers.

2. Wasn't there a little bang in Oklahoma City on 4/19/95?
I seem to have a dim recollection of 168 souls perishing that day due to domestic, right-wing terrorism.

3. True dat; not sure if McCain is linked to them or their supporters though
The link to Mary Shannon and McCain is established, and she's a supporter of Shelley Shannon, who is also a terrorist.

4. Shannon is actually her husband's name...
Rachelle Shannon is married to David Shannon Sr., who describes himself as "not a Christian", and "not opposed to abortion".


(How'd he end up with her?)

6. What terrorist Shelley Shannon said about her crime:
"I'm not denying I shot Tiller. But I deny that it was wrong. It was the most holy, most righteous thing I've ever done. I have no regrets." - Rachelle "Shelley" Shannon, aka "Shaggy West" to her terrorist buddies
