What did you people think would happen!!! You have become no better than any other radical, extremist group who murder in the name of their religious beliefs.

***UPDATE*** US Attorney General Eric Holder is dispatching US Marshals to protect abortion clinic and doctors around the country.

Holder issued the following statement:

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.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Awesome!!!! I love that now my $ is going to protect people doing work I dislike.

    Thanks so much you ignorant religious freaks! Stop the madness. This type of action never works in furthering your cause. Damn, it pisses me off how stupid people are.

    I think that's what he meant... American Christian extremists are no different from the groups we've started wars all over the world to stop.

    i've been saying that america is becoming an extremist nation but that generally doesn't go over too well on this board and no matter how you explain it - people just get too defensive ... :)

    because that is completely baseless and insulting. this is the first "extremist" act by one of these Christian nutjobs in the past 8 years. talk to me when we have Death To Islam marches in the streets.

    There's a huge difference between an "extremist nation" and a nation of 300 million people with a tiny number of wingnuts who the media loves to give a higher profile to.

    I agree totally off base - especially because it is apparent in our recent election, extremists like that are becoming outnumbered...it's all about how children are raised and educated that will continue to diminish these culty/christian extremists in the US (aka republicans, lol - relax i'm kiddin', sorta).

    case in point ...

    i know a sikh who lives in NYC who won't wear his turban anymore ... i could list many examples to substantiate my case but really - what's the point? people just get defensive - even now, instead of asking me what i base my opinion on - you simply brush it off ...

    I think we flirted with it under Bush, but I think overall that's not really accurate. We definitely have a sizable fundamentalist extremist contingent, but they're nowhere near a majority. They just managed to dupe the majority into electing their guys for a few years. I think we've wised up a bit.

    define sizable fundamentalist extremist? did we have an increase in car bombs during the bush years? and increase in abortion doctors being killed? (actually I read there were none). the only time American's go a little crazy was immediately after 9/11 when a few Arabs were harassed. big deal.

    in your eyes, anyone who goes to church on a consistent basis is probably a fundamentalist extremist

    Whether or not this constitutes a nation of extremists, it is a big deal. This comment is about as insensitve as me saying something like, "oh a few guys raped your mother - big deal." :roll:

    The answer is true.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    I'm comparing statements that conveniently minimalize victims' experiences.

    a Arab being told to fuck off and a woman being raped are vastly different " victims' experiences"


    but I'm sure you knew that :roll:
