Tiller friend says death result of 35 years Republican terrorism/fascism
Tiller friend says death result of 35 years Republican terrorism/fascism



Dr. George Tiller, one of the few late-term abortion doctors in the nation, was shot and killed Sunday. His friend and fellow abortionist, Dr. Warren Hern claims that it was, “not the action of a single, deranged, lone gunman, this was a result of 35 years of anti-abortion, terrorism, vigilantism, harassment, intimidation, non-stop hate speech and rhetoric which has been exploited by the Republican party and the radical political right.”

He goes on to say, "the only difference between the American anti-abortion movement and the Taliban is about 8,000 miles."

1. That site is rightwing crap,
in case you didn't know.

When, in the second sentence, the term "fellow abortionist" is used, you can be pretty certain that you're looking at a worthless pile of crap..................

16. In fairness to the OP. The quotes from his friend ROCK! The framing sucks!
Yes, the Examiner is RW rag.

Still nice to see the quotes from his fellow doctor and the 8,000 miles bit is spot-on!

4. Dr. Hern did an interview with Anderson Cooper last night.
I can't find the video clip, but it was an excellent (and chilling) interview. Well worth a look if you can find a clip.

8. Olbermann should change O'Really's moniker to "Billo the Terrorist"
He's still a clown, but now he's a terrorist cell leader who's directly responsible for a murder.

9. "Billo bin Reilly"
After all, 'bin' means (among other things) "son of" just like the O'- and Mac- and -sen/-son naming flourishes.
