(rw) Extremists Arrested During Weeklong Protests in Charlotte
Feminist Daily News Wire


Notorious anti-abortion extremist Flip Benham and three others were arrested in Charlotte, NC this weekend during eight days of protests against abortion rights, Islam and homosexuality that were staged by Benham's group Operation Save America. Benham and Michael Stanley Warren were charged with careless burning when they burned abortion-related court documents in front of a federal courthouse. Benham and Warren were released Monday on a $2,500 bond. ---

In addition to the protests, Operation Save America held classes for participants that addressed such topics as "Homosexuality vs. Christianity" and "Why Are All Terrorists Muslim," according to the Charlotte Observer.

1. "Why Are All Terrorists Muslim,"
Ask the Oklahoma victims, they might have a different take.

3. I will say this...
Anti-abortion nutjobs are about the only conservatives who seem to realize that free speech is not always meant to be polite, genteel and courteous. With the exception of these folks, people on the Right tend to be hostile to the notion that free speech might make some people feel uncomfortable.
