2. Operation Rescue

Major fundie wing nut.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Isn't he that "Operation Rescue" antiabortion guy or something?

[Lex]

7. An abortion rights terrorist

and a mean and hateful SOB.

He was the march on DC screaming at us marchers, comdemning us to hell.

I thought he was rather nationally known as a hate-mongerer.

[Az]

9. Randal Terry former founder/head of Operation Rescue (quotes follow)

Not a nice player. Here is some of what he has had to say (from www.positiveatheism.com)

I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good.... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism.
-- Randall Terry, quoted in The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, August 16, 1993

When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we'll execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed.
-- Randall Terry, referring to doctors who perform abortions, quoted from TheWarOnFaith.com ††

What it is coming down to is who runs the country. It's us against them. It's the good guys versus the bad guys. It's the God-fearing people against the pagans, and some of the pagans are going to church.
-- Randall Terry, confusing the religion of paganism with the use of the word pagan as slang for atheist or unchurched, as religious Pagans would not go to church, but atheists are often forced to attend Christian worship services because the sheer bigotry against us at the hands of the Christian majority almost guarantees social failure lest we pretend to be Christian, in a speech (1992)

You better believe that I want to build a Christian nation, because the only option is a pagan nation. Not that the government can make someone a Christian by decree. A Christian nation would be defined as "We acknowledge God in our body politic, in our communities, that the God of the Bible is our God, and, we acknowledge that His law is supreme."
-- Randall Terry, quoted from TheWarOnFaith.com ††

There is going to be war, take up the sword to overthrow the tyrannical regime that oppresses them.
-- Randall Terry, describing his plan at the 1995 National Operation Rescue meeting in Louisiana, quoted from Refuse & Resist!, "Who's Coming To Dayton -- An Introduction"

18. Thanks, you're probably right

The article would have to mention Operation Rescue, etc. I would think.

[doni_georgia]

23. Operation Rescue Randall Terry is from New York - not NC

Not the same guy.

[VolcanoJen]

4. One can only hope.

Linky, please?

[Lex]

12. Trying desperately to find one.

Someone I trust who lives in the same town/area as he, is saying it is true.

This person is a former newsreporter too.

[Failure]

5. Does Hell have the room for him? nt

[Dookus]

6. I haven't heard

are the flames of hell burning hotter today?

[Domitan]

8. It's a different Randall Terry

[VolcanoJen]

10. Link... is this the same Randall Terry?

http://www.wvec.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D82CC0M80.html

[ronnykmarshall]

Not the guy we're thinking about.

[benburch]

21. Pardon me for saying so...

but it looks like Death took the wrong guy.

[Az]

22. I would rather reason take him

But I suppose that is too much to hope for.

[Melinda]

11. No, that is a different Randall (Bryant) Terry)

Businessman, no relation.

[VolcanoJen]

13. Thanks, Melinda!

At least the other Randall Terry has a few more years on earth. He likely will use those years continuing to hate his own gay son.

[Lex]

15. Yes, you are probably right.

How can this be the same guy if they don't mention "Operation Rescue" and all that.

[WillyT]

14. Wrong Randall Terry... I Think !!!

<snip>

HIGH POINT, N.C. --
Randall Bryant Terry Jr., president and publisher of the High Point Enterprise, and also a part-owner of the International Home Furnishings Center, died Tuesday at age 69.

Terry's family was part owner of the Enterprise since 1920.

His friends remember him as a discreet benefactor to causes dear to him and as a businessman whose family has been pivotal in the development of High Point's daily newspaper and of the city's twice-a-year home furnishings markets.

WTF?

Very confusing.

So I have to agree that this sounds like the wrong Terry.

[Lex]

19. D'oh.

Looks like 'a' Randall Terry died.

My friend who told me about it thought it was 'the' Randall Terry.

[Az]

20. No worries, It was a chance to make others aware of this political monstr

This guy is dangerous.
