Comments Related To: The murder of George Tiller: Life v choice

I wish the pro-choice crowd would be as aware of their cognitive dissonance as they are about the supposed double-standard among pro-life types.

As you rightly point out, even some of the most dedicated opponents of this guy's work denounced his murder.

The killer is describe in this article as having a history of mental illness, and previously associated with anti-government militia groups.

Had he attacked, for example, a military recruiting office, he would not be held up as specimen of the typical anti-war activist, would he? Of course not. He'd be dismissed as part of a lunatic fringe.

But since he hit a target identified with the ideological right, particularly the religious right, violence of this sort must (say some) be the inevitable outcome of the associated rhetoric and political position. "See? O'Reilly made him do it!"
