Operation Rescue Founder Says Tiller Mass Murderer

I'm telling you, this guy Randall Terry is a nut job. Terry is the same guy that led protests against Obama's appearance at Notre Dame. He called Obama an "agent of death." Language like that inspires the mentally unstable:

Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, led protests against George Tiller's late-term abortion clinic in Wichita in 1991.
Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue states, "George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name; murder.
"Those men and women who slaughter the unborn are murderers according to the Law of God. We must continue to expose them in our communities and peacefully protest them at their offices and homes, and yes, even their churches." EM

Terry fails to call the murder of George Tiller murder. Earlier, Operation Rescue put out a statement saying they didn't condone violence. Read that here. But Operation Rescue is fairly radical and had a "Tiller watch" on their site, which is down now. This incident could be an example of right wing extremism, though we don't have a motive yet. 
Here is Obama's statement:

"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."

Update
Eric Holder's statement:

"The murder of Doctor George Tiller is an abhorrent act of violence, and his family "The murder of Doctor George Tiller is an abhorrent act of violence, and his family is in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic moment. Federal law enforcement is coordinating with local law enforcement officials in Kansas on the investigation of this crime, and I have directed the United States Marshals Service to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation. The Department of Justice will work to bring the perpetrator of this crime to justice. As a precautionary measure, we will also take appropriate steps to help prevent any related acts of violence from occurring." USDOJ

Update
The shooter is apparently Scott Roeder.

Wingnut Justice

To me, late-term abortions are horrible and shouldn't happen, unless the mother's life is at risk, but does that justify wingnut justice? No, it does not. What have the wingnuts accomplished? Absolutely nothing. They haven't furthered their cause. They've taken a life. Wingnuts are feeling emboldened, thanks to people like Rush Limbaugh being thrown up in clips by mainstream media. Apparently, there's been a long-running wingnut campaign against Tiller by O'Reilly and others. If wingnuts want to further their cause, they need to get a grip:

George Tiller, a Wichita doctor who was one of the few doctors in the nation to perform late-term abortions, was shot to death on Sunday as he attended church, city officials in Wichita said.

Dr. Tiller, who had performed abortions since the 1970s, had long been a lightning rod for controversy over the issue of abortion, particularly in Kansas, where abortion opponents regularly protested outside his clinic and sometimes his home and church. In 1993, he was shot in both arms by an abortion opponent but recovered.

He had also been the subject of many efforts at prosecution, including a citizen-initiated grand jury investigation. In the latest such effort, in March, Dr. Tiller was acquitted of charges that he had performed late-term abortions that violated state law.

The shooting occurred at around 10 a.m. (Central time) at Reformation Lutheran Church on the city’s East Side, Dr. Tiller’s regular church. NYT

The anti-abortion group Operation Rescue says it doesn't condone violence:

Anti-abortion group Operation Rescue issued a statement denouncing the shooting.

"We are shocked at this morning's disturbing news that Mr. Tiller was gunned down," said Troy Newman, Operation Rescue's president. "Operation Rescue has worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see him brought to justice. We denounce vigilantism and the cowardly act that took place this morning." MSNBC

I know not all anti abortion groups (or pro lifers) condone violence but Operation Rescue is suspect. Randall Terry of Operation Rescue is the guy who led all the protests of Obama's speech at Notre Dame. The guy, quite frankly, is an idiot. He called Obama an "agent of death." The organization uses hateful language. What do these folks expect to get with their rhetoric and their ugly protests?

WHAT: President Obama to Deliver Major Economic Speech at Georgetown University

WHEN: Tuesday, April 14th at 11:30 AM EDT

Randall Terry, a nitwit, will hold a protest tomorrow as well. Terry is an extremist. Check him out here. It's interesting to me that you don't have to have any wits to get media coverage. You only need to be loud and controversial. Terry, who's trying to stop Obama from speaking at Notre Dame, calls Obama an "agent of death," which shows you that not only is he ignorant but he also doesn't care much about his cause. He only wants to be righteous--self righteous. The only thing he is doing is inciting unstable people to violence. 

MarketWatch: The following is being issued by Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue:
On Tuesday, April 14, from 10:30 a.m. to the end of Mr. Obama's speech, DC area Pro-life leaders and activists will protest at the entrance to Georgetown University at 37th and O Street. Their presence is to denounce Georgetown, who invited President Obama to speak, knowing the scandal and outrage surrounding his scheduled speech at Notre Dame on May 17.
Randall Terry, Operation Rescue Founder, and Missy Smith, Director of WAKEUP!, will lead the protest.
Randall Terry states:
"The University has deliberately poked its finger in the eye of the Bishops and faithful Catholics who have condemned President Obama's appearance at Notre Dame.
"But far worse - they have cast aside the unborn who will perish under President Obama's policies. They have put prestige ahead of life.
"Georgetown's attitude seems to be: Germany's leaders built great roads in the 1930s, they helped save the banks, and they rebuilt the economy. Let's focus on their economy - not that whole genocide thing."

Randall Terry Calls Obama an Agent of Death

It astonishes me that people fighting against abortion are this idiotic. They fail to realize that their ideological--I'm right you're wrong--stance will NEVER change anything. The more righteous they are, the less appealing they are and the more they fail their very own cause.
Randall Terry of Operation Rescue appears to be more in need of mental health counseling as opposed to sane person presenting a legitimate argument.
Only when they step out of their self-righteous box will they actually accomplish something. In the meantime, they'd simply rather be right.
Terry, while slandering Obama, is pretending to be an agent of god. I'll never understand why this brand of  "Christian" doesn't get the irony of that. He's working to try and prevent Obama from speaking at the Notre Dame commencement. You know that's going to be an awesome speech.
