John Walker Lindh is an ant-abortion guy now? i did not know that. i did not know that.

 

 

No the American version of them. You know wonderful people like Pat Robertson and Randall Terry. Altough i'm sure Johnny Walker has similar views on the subject.

I've never heard of Randall Terry. I looked on wikipedia and stopped reading after like 5 paragraphs of his seemingly endless list of marriages and divorces.

Tiller the baby killer was killed himself today in Kansas. Karma is a b****. I would be interested to hear Sebelius's comments.

Impressive how tolerant of terrorism you are when it is done to someone who's politics you don't like.

 

 

My heart is bleeding and I'm not even liberal. Save it for someone who cares. I didn't condone the murder, but what comes around goes around. His killer should be executed in my opinion. It was pre-meditated, no doubt. You mean manufactured domestic incident not terrorism, right?

Red is the cheapest. Blue is a few hundred dollars.

So are a lot of union organization tactics, like what will happen if EFCA gets passed.

Imagine an Islamist fanatic had assassinated a pro-Israel rabbi in a synagogue, and had harassed synagogues for years, including one arrest for bomb materials in his car. Imagine if one of his associates had tried to kill the rabbi before. Would there be any question that this was Islamist terror? So why is this not Christianist terror?

How will the EFCA be like that at all?

If violence was applied as a method of coercion, I could certainly see it meeting that standard.

 

Of course...since right now the only ones who can use violence and intimidation and threats are the ownership of a business trying to prevent unionization, that's fine.

We need to open up opportunities for threats, intimidation and violence to all sides.

Thank you for the lesson. Don't know why you feel the need to try make me care about this low-life or the low-life who killed him.

Totally. We should even start killing every woman who steps out of an abortion clinic.

No, no. these are just man-caused disasters. there is no such thing as terrorism.

Its funny you say that, because right in my home town there is a restarant site that has had to hire 24/7 security and have full time police presence to protect their workers from the attacks and vandalism of the union people protesting the building site. They view it as not only their right, but their obligation to break many laws repeatedly because the ownership group isn't using local union labor.

Yeah let's please not start talking about ordinary criminal activity and call it terrorism... god I hate that. You don't just arbitrarily drop the "t-word" into something you don't like to make it worse, it's intellectually dishonest and a copout.

Domestic terrorism, that's pretty textbook.

I think it's just karma when a hunter blows away another hunter by accident in a boreal forest.

 

I'll now exit this thread...

Bullying and intimidation to get something they want (a favorable outcome for themselves)? Just because there is violence and coercion involved doesn't make it "terrorism." It's a slippery slope, but it really isn't that slippery. If I call your house and say "you will let me have sex with your wife or I'll put you in the hospital" is that terrorism? No, it just makes me a douchebag who should go to jail, but not a domestic terrorist.
