Operation Rescue adviser helped Tiller suspect track doctor's court dates
When Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller stood trial in March on charges he violated state law in providing late-term abortions, the man now accused of killing him made a point of attending the hearings.

And after Tiller was acquitted on charges that he had failed to properly justify late-term abortions, the suspect, Scott Roeder, told a fellow anti-abortion activist that the whole process was a "sham."

"He seemed to be passionate about that,” said Eugene Frye, a Kansas City area anti-abortion activist for the past three decades. "He felt justice had not been served."

Roeder apparently kept track of the state prosecution against Tiller through a senior member of Operation Rescue, the anti-abortion organization.

At the time of Roeder’s arrest Sunday afternoon along Interstate 35 in Johnson County, a television station captured the vehicle on video. There on the dashboard was a note that read “Cheryl” and “Op Rescue” with a phone number.

Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for Operation Rescue out of Wichita, said Tuesday that she has spoken to Roeder in the past, but she said he would initiate the contact. She said she hasn’t had any recent contact with him.

Sullenger served about two years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to bomb an abortion clinic in California in 1988. She has since renounced violent action.

I think it's high time that these groups are thoroughly investigated. Somebody should take a page out of the SPLC's book and sue the pants off of them.

1. I can only hope that Mrs. Tiller has a good attorney
You're right. It's time to bring these groups (and persons like Bill O'Reilly, for that matter,) to their knees.

2. Phone records will show if "Cheryl" is part of the conspiracy
Remember "Fargo"? The suspect ended up in the back seat of the detective's police car with his hands cuffed behind his back.

3. Cheryl Sullenger
Cheryl Sullenger is a pro-life activist. In 1988 she was arrested for and confessed to a conspiricy to bomb the Alvarado Medical Center abortion clinic. She was sentenced to two and a half years and was released after serving two of those years. Having since renounced violance, she now works as a Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue and serves on the Central Committee of the 75th District of the San Diego Republican Party.

I find this interesting. Bill Ayers has renounced violence and led an exemplary life for decades, yet President Obama was called a terrorist because of a tenuous link to him. Cheryl Sullenger serves on the Central Committee of the 75th District of the San Diego Republican Party but that's fine because, hey, she's renounced violence!

6. The GOP has never been shy with their double standards.
:grr:

I hope this lands her in jail as a conspirator and an accomplice to murder. I hope that entire hateful organization is finally bankrupted and taken apart. x(

9. Sullenger may not currently be on the Central Committee:

Of course, it speaks volumes about the Republicans that she served on that committee in the past

5. The link between OR and this terrorist assasination is getting thicker
Operation Rescue is a Terrorist Organization.

No doubt about it.

7. There never was a doubt about it.
I just wish the FBI would spend as much time and passion stalking them and labeling them terrorists as they do vegans and anti-war activists. :(

What the fuck is up with our FBI when dedicated non-violent people are on terrorist watch lists but they couldn't be bothered to stop these people? :cry:

8. One question: where the hell is the FBI?
Should I send this to them since they don't seem to want to pay attention to domestic terrorism?

10. The FBI knew about the Little Rock shooter, too. Maybe Bush's FBI director Robert Mueller
isn't the right man for the job

13. Every page of OR has been scrubbed that mentions Roeder's name
You know he was just someone who loved posting there, but they didn't know of him or get any money from him.



Has anyone seen this post from Troy Newman on the topic of Pearl Harbor?.?.? below is the some of last paragraphs

A carnage of similar magnitude to that which propelled the United States into a world war is reoccurring every day. An attack on Pearl Harbor is happening as you read this page and another is slated for tomorrow.

I wish I could reach back in time and yell out to Admiral Kimmel, "Watch out, the bombers are coming!" I wish I could shake the troops snoozing at Ford Island to rouse them from their Sunday slumber, "A call to arms!" Alas, we cannot go back to 1941.

Nevertheless, to you, the reader I say "Awake! The enemy squadrons are in the air and he waging war on our young! All hands on deck! The time has come for sacrifice, for courage and for diligence! 40 million babies have gone to their grave. Let them not have died in vain!" America, flush with righteous anger over the bloodbath of Pearl Harbor, propelled her armies to victory. Now, in the same spirit, let us march toward victory… Remember the Children!

Reporting for Duty,
Troy Newman, Director
