[StefanX]

Strange how those "pro-lifers" love to go around killing so many people.

1. Right-to-Life...

...where a three week old fetus and a brain dead women are more important than our sons and daughters serving in the Military.

"Right-to-Profit", now there is somthing they can stand by without hypocrasy.

2. Quakers are a much more serious threat

to the administration's war profiteering machine, the one that magically converts blood into oil!

[Shallah Kali]

18. don't forget the nuns on watch lists - they might pray at someone

Very dangerous people quakers and nuns. Their peaceful ways might spread and then who will the warmongers get to fight their wars?

:sarcasm:

[mom cat]

24. Good one.

Thanks

[ticapnews]

3. More domestic terrorism

I wonder if they qualify for a faith-based government subsidy for their activities...

[zbdent]

5. That isn't a "terrorist" act

according to the Repukes . . .

Of course, Operation Rescue has done more damage than any "pro-choice" group, but you won't see O.R. on the "Terrorist Watch" list . . .

8. Of course not, the lady didn't appear to be Arab

"This is not a crime to be taken lightly," Shreveport Fire Department spokesman Brian Crawford said. "It's an arson crime -- and because of the nature of this crime, someone could also be charged with domestic terrorism as well."

Investigators say they have a "substantial" amount of physical evidence that was left from the firebomb.


--- I hope they find those people and charge them with domestic terrorism and send them to GITMO.

4. Yeah, ain't that weird. If it were an empty suitcase in DC, there would

been an hour or two of non-stop coverage.

[flvegan]

6. And yet animal rights activists are the terrorists in this country.

No person nor animal has been harmed in an ALF/ELF action in the US, but these idiots aren't even on the radar, and they kill.

I don't advocate arson at all, so I'm not defending one's actions and pissing about the other. I'm just sick of the feds screwing with a good number of us while the Army of God probably gets lunch invites from fundies on high.

[TerdlowSmedley]

7. There are rights only for the "unborn" and the "born again".

Those of us who have been merely "born" have no rights in this country anymore.

[NJmaverick]

9. The correct term is Christian terrorists

Fire bomb medical clinic.

[Initech]

10. Aye, pro-lifers can be some of the dumbest people on earth.

Pro-lifers killing abortion doctors. Now that is fucking base-level irony right there.

[Triana]

11. TERRORISTS - why doesn't George spy on THEM?

These people are terrorists. They are no better than bin Laden or al Queda - causing death and destruction because of their religious beliefs - namely, trying to shove theirs down everyone else's throats. They are religious extremeists - just the same as the rest of 'em.

[Initech]

16. Ah ah ah... George says we must "err on the side of life".

I bet he's having an orgasm over this.

[sniffa]

12. guns don't kiLL peopLe...

deranged pro-Lifers do.

[nashville_brook]

13. pro"life" terrorists not an FBI priority. that freaks me out.

it like the part in the movie where we learn the alien entity has souljacked all forms of authority, and now it's going to come after us under the guise of government. gives me chills.

random backstory link:
http://www.judibari.org/jury's_message.html

The Jury's Message: Analysis of the $4.4 Million Verdict for Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney in the Earth First! vs. FBI Case (Revised 6/19/02; broken link fixed 8/7/02, minor edits 12/1/04)

On June 11, 2002 a federal jury returned a stunning verdict in favor of Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney in their landmark civil rights lawsuit against four FBI agents and three Oakland Police officers.

The jury clearly found that six of the seven FBI and OPD defendants framed Judi and Darryl in an effort to crush Earth First! and chill participation in Redwood Summer. That was evident in the fact that 80% of the $4.4 million total damage award was for violation of their First Amendment rights to speak out and organize politically in defense of the forests.

"The jury exonerated us," said Darryl Cherney. "They found the FBI to be the ones in violation of the law. The American public needs to understand that the FBI can't be trusted. Ten jurors got a good, hard look at the FBI and they didn't like what they saw."

"The outcome was even more significant because we won this case with our attorneys' hands tied behind their backs and the jury blindfolded by the judge's ruling that we couldn't talk about the FBI's long, documented history of targeting dissenting political groups for disruption and neutralization," added Cherney.

14. Culture of life!!!!

If the so-called "right to lifers" really cared about unborn children, then why haven't they offered to take care of some of these children?

When is the last time a "right to lifer" walked up to a woman going into an abortion clinic, and told her "Ma'am, please don't abort your child. Allow me to adopt it and take care of it."

[Shallah Kali]

20. Do they support a living wage so more people could afford kids?

Why don't they lobby congress to raise the minimum wage so people could afford to have more kids? Do these same people support food stamps and wic programs? Not many of them can or congress would have lept to do their bidding as with Terry Shavio. What the religious right wants congress and the bush admin. gives.

[WildClarySage]

23. Because they don't want to raise the child of a fornicator! They want

to tell women when and how to have sexual intercourse according to their warped patriarchy.

[MountainLaurel]

15. Onward Christian soldiers!

Doin' Jesus proud.

[SPKrazy]

17. Did * Spy on them too?

Domestic Terrorists are a bigger threat than foreign terrorists according to the FBI, but the FBI apparently has said that left leaning groups like PETA, and other enviro-activists are domestic terrorists and strangely left off right leaning groups that target abortion clinics, or groups like those who inhabit Elohim City in Oklahoma (think McVeigh sympathizers, if not collaborators)

I just don't get it!

[goforit]

19. The real terrorists.

[northernsoul]

21. Thankfully, I think nobody was actually killed this time

However, it is quite likely that somebody could have been killed. This level of malice and reckless disregard for human life and limb shows that these terrorists could actually care less about upholding the sanctity of human life - I think that what actually animates them is a desire to punish women who've had sex. I think that the good doctor Freud would have a field day with an average Operation Rescue member.

[Walt Starr]

22. Yet another example of a terrorist attack since 9/11 that goes unreported

:eyes:

Why am I unsurprised? Oh yeah, that's right, it can't be terrorism if it's Republicans doing the terorizing.

[chat_noir]

25. Defending Christian Terrorism

Ignored in the justifiable attention being paid to foreign Muslim terrorists after 9/11, domestic Christian terrorists have taken a backseat in terms of media coverage. How many people know that in 2001, 3 of the 10 names on the FBI Most Wanted List were anti-abortion zealots? Not many, I imagine. Clayton Waagner was one of them, recently convicted of sending over 400 anthrax threat letters to Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice groups and clinics. Eric Robert Rudolph was captured last year after a nearly 5 year manhunt that followed his apparent bombing of several abortion clinics and the Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics. James Kopp was recently convicted of killing Dr. Barnett Slepian in 1998. If you want to see a perfect picture of dogmatic insanity, how about this article from Chuck Spingola defending these men and what they do? And lest you think this is just about abortion, look at the way that he ties abortion and homosexuality together:

The foreign terrorists (Muslim) resist the imposition of the United States/United Nations charter, which promotes "population control" (abortion) and "diversity" (homosexuality), while the Christian/domestic terrorist simply resists the 'law' of the land, which promotes and often subsidizes abortion and homosexuality.

And he's quite upset that we dare to actually convict these people, since after all they're just doing God's will:

The wicked civilian and the Federal Government appear to be coconspirators in their coup to overthrow Christ and his people. Queer Boy Scoutmasters, abortion on demand, and same sex marriage is all part and parcel of this godless takeover of God?s America.

Those blessed few that actually do terrify the wicked are vigorously denounced and punished by the government "of the people". I often weep over the oppression and persecution of the Christian terrorist in this country for it accomplishes three goals. First, it comforts and strengthens the wicked. Second, it discourages the would be CT from action. Third, it makes the CT feel alone in his cause.

26. it's only terrorism if it's done by NON christians. When christians

do it, it is "god's will". :crazy:
