Fundies: Carrying out justice in the Tiller murder is a nefarious attempt to smear "Pro-Lifers"

from the American Family Assn's OneNewsNow, where smart Fundies get their news:



Pro-life 'smear' suspected in DOJ's Tiller inquiry
Charlie Butts and Jody Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/9/2009 7:50:00 AM


One pro-life leader is questioning the motive behind the Justice Department's announcement of a probe to determine if others were involved in the murder of abortionist George Tiller.

Late Friday afternoon, the DOJ made it clear that it believes other individuals or groups may have been involved in Tiller's shooting on Sunday, May 31. The agency's press release stated it will "work tirelessly to determine the full involvement of any and all actors in this horrible crime, and to ensure that anyone who played a role in the offense is prosecuted to the full extent of federal law."

Is it a legitimate investigation -- or a political payoff from the Obama administration to the pro-abortion movement? Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, believes politics could be a motive. But she suspects there may be more behind the announced investigation than meets the eye.

"This may be more of a nefarious effort than it appears on its face," she exclaims, "that in fact, the Department of Justice may be trying to smear pro-lifers, as if we all belong in the same camp, as if we all advocate violence, when it's just the opposite."

In conjunction with the investigation, Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered federal marshals to offer protection to "appropriate people and facilities" involved in abortion around the U.S. Wright points out, by contrast, that numerous attacks against U.S. military facilities have not garnered the same reaction.

"There have been a multitude of violent acts against military recruiters and at military recruiting stations throughout the United States," she emphasizes. "These are recent attacks -- and one occurred the day after George Tiller was murdered, one of our young soldiers was killed by a Muslim jihadist." Yet not one marshal, she adds, has been dispatched to protect those facilities.

The group Move America Forward lists more than 60 anti-military offenses committed by groups in the U.S. since 2003.

3. Any pro-lifer who calls abortion "murder" has some culpability....

in Tiller's murder. By definition it's considered acceptable to use lethal violence to stop a killer, so these pro-lifers are encouraging murder.

5. Actually it's been fun telling my winger associates the terrorists won.
It's an argument on their level. There is a definition of terrorism. The pro-lifers have a terrorist arm. End of story.

They do try to distance themselves a bit at that point.

6. A "multitude of violent attacks" against recruiters and recruiting stations? Where?
Many of the 60 offenses listed by MAF amount to nothing more than vandalism or disorderly conduct. Only a handful qualify as violent, including a bombing in NYC (at night, no injuries), and only one I'm aware of involved murder -- the one last week in AK.

On the other hand, the list of violent and murderous acts against abortion providers, their facilities, and the women who visit them spans many years, many states, and many actual victims.

I'm sure if the military felt the threat to their recruiters and facilities was adequate they would request police protection.
