Abortion rights advocates sensed more threats at clinics before killing of Tiller
Two weeks before Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down in his church, he called colleague Susan Hill in North Carolina.

Tiller wanted her to send pictures of people who had recently been threatening Hill and her staff. He said he was seeing new anti-abortion protesters outside his clinic and wondered if they were traveling around.

“I said, ‘I don’t know, George. I think there’s something coming,’ ” recalled Hill, who operates clinics in four states. “He said, ‘I do, too.’

“We knew it. You smell it. Strange things were happening in our Mississippi clinic and in North Carolina. Strange people were coming around. And he admitted that for the first time, he really believed that something was going to go down.”

2. They are very organized, and the FBI is useless.
Sad to say, I think this will be the first in a wave of violence. These people have gone off their nutters since Obama was elected.

4. They are a terrorist organization.
It scares me that they're not recognized as such after decades of violence.
