I hope the killer says he did it because of O'Reilly, and the family sues him for a bundle.

Here we go--the loony left trying to blame O'Reilly for this killer's murder, simply because O'Reilly reported his activities. I suppose under that logic, Walter Cronkite was responsible for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, since he reported on that killer. Get a life!

If we allow Dr. George Tiller and his acolytes to continue, we can no longer pass judgment on any behavior by anybody. What Tiller is doing is that bad. And that's the Memo. Bill O'Reilly

How is it that, that at questionable point of life, under 3 months, is being vociferously defended by the right-wing, yet the unquestionably alive, those that walk and talk, are acceptably slaughtered through our bombing? The fact is, that the only time late abortion occurs legally, and very seldom, period, is when there is a problem with the life of the pregnant woman, jeapordized or lost, by continuing the pregnancy. How can the value of a fetus, under three months, supercede the actual, unquestionable life of that woman/ And why don't the victims of the war WE ILLEGALLY STARTED, killing the 90% innocent civillians be so distant from their outrages, these Right-wing Repugnants? How is it that it's okay to bring a child into a life that is assured to be a misery, is better than prohibitting the continuation of preganancy? While in the fetus stage, being discontinued is actually much more compassionate. Oh, that's right, we were just not supposed to have sex, in the first place.

The response by Bible-thumping wing-nuts to this tragedy typifies what Dr. Phillip Zimbardo describes in The Lucifer Effect (2007) as “the process of dehumanization by which certain other people or collectives of them are depicted as less than human….” He regards this as “one of the central processes in the transformation of ordinary, normal people into indifferent or even wanton perpetrators of evil…a ‘cortical cataract’ that clouds one’s thinking and fosters the perception that other people are less than human…to see…others as enemies deserving of torment, torture, and even annihilation.” It is here that the danger of irresponsible media is exposed. History’s most abhorrent example, the “final solution,” was not the product of some inherent psychological deficiency in the German people. To the contrary, as Zimbardo forcefully points out, it was the product of a deliberate campaign carried out in newspapers, on radio, in required texts of school children, and even in comic books, which “sought to create the perception of Jews as a sub-human race that was a threat to the national state.” O'Reilly's verbal character assaults go well beyond harmless words, especially when they are received by a less-than-stable, malleable mind of a wing-nut who perceives Dr. Tiller as the embodiment of evil.

As a follow-up to my last comment, consider the response coming from those from the other side of the women's right to choose debate. In a just received email, NARAL writes: On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America and our affiliates, our prayers and thoughts are with Dr. Tiller’s family and friends. If you don’t know very much about his background, for almost two decades Dr. Tiller and those individuals who helped provide care to his patients have lived under intense harassment tinged with persistent threats of violence. Even under these adverse circumstances, Dr. Tiller never wavered in his commitment to providing abortion services and other reproductive health care to women and their families, often in the most difficult and heart-breaking circumstances. Dr. Tiller’s murder will send a chill down the spines of the brave and courageous providers and other professionals who are part of reproductive-health centers that serve women across this country. We want them to know that they have our support as they move forward in providing these essential services in the aftermath of the shocking news from Wichita. Ernest A. Canning

"Well, Jesus may have been "the prince of peace" and an advocate of nonviolence, but he sure would have murdered doctors who perform abortions--just like Jesus approves of torturing people who may or may not be terrorists and even the wholesale slaughter of non-Christians. Baby Jesus wants us all to live in peace, and sometimes that means killin' a bunch of people."

The ONLY thing that will make these CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST TERRORISTS stop their hate on Fox News is for the family of Dr.Tiller to sue Rupert Murdoch and Bill O'Loofah for all they're worth. As an aside, I believe that the Administration can now use Bush's Terrorist Act to stop the hate mongering and terror-inciting being done on Fox News everyday. It began at Palin's Christian Fundamentalist Terrorist rallies and is now being continued via Fox News. This country IS NO LONGER SAFE BECAUSE OF FOX NEWS AND IT'S VERY PSYCHOLOGICALLY DERANGED COMMENTATORS. The people need to express their outrage and boycott EVERY LAST ONE OF FOX'S SPONSORS IMMEDIATELY.

The Rush & Fox war on everything and anything not extreme right wing has been coming at maximum force since the eletion. They left any trace of sanity behind and are in a mass psychosis state of mind. They are behaving like banana republic dictators in their final demise. I hope Dep. of HS, FBI and police already are kicking doors and taking names. They are a clear and obvious danger to the seurity of ther US. Bill, Rush, Hannity et al. should roast for this

Bring on The Patriot Act immediately. It's time to use this act to stop the terror-inciting done by these rightwing nuts every day on Fox News. There needs to be an immediate appeal and petititon to the Attorney General to investigate the role(s) these anti-american (remember: abortion is legal - "murder" is not) these christian fundamentalist terrorist hate crimes and how much influence these Fox commentators have on an unbalanced individual's mind. The propaganda and lies are enough; the outright incitement to voilence is again another thing and they need to be stopped.

The seriously deranged logic of protesting an abortion as murder and then going out and murduring a doctor, in church no less, baffles the normal mind. Evidently, this individual does not have a normal mind - as so many uneducated, anti-democratic reighwingers. We, the People, can wage our own war - directly upon Fox News - and it's hate-spewing, fear-mongering, murder-inciting anchors. The People can get a list of every sponsor of the Fox Cable Network and begin a boycott immediately. If anyone has access to this information, please post it here so we can circulate it to everyone we know. This will become the People's War against Violence.....we can and will hit Fox in the pocketbook - perhaps the ONLY place they can relate.

Let's also begin a push for Bill O'Reilly's immediate resignation or firing from Fox Network. He can be sued for "aiding and abetting" the direct violence against Dr. Tiller. I think Bill O has finally 'tilled his own grave' and he will now carry the besmerchment concomittant with the criminal who pulled the trigger. It's O'Ver for Bill O, the Sicko Clown.

You protest the death of the unborn but cheer as you send living kids to war. Not your kids but someone elses. You cheered when Bush vetoed health care for children, but what the hell let that 8 year old die from tooth decay but save bunch of cells. You cheer when a Muslim or Arab child is bombed. Your fucked up minds think everyone must bow to your Christ of God will not save than. I thought Bush was going to stop abortion? How did that work out for you assholes?

The murdered (martyred?) physician provided a grim- but necessary medical service; even if the `Forced-Existence' zealots can't admit it, some pregnancies are too horribly deformed to be carried to term. By using deadly violence to intimidate providers of legal- and necessary procedures, the Whack-O Religious Right who target legitimate family planning medical staff prove that they are no different from (or any better than than) the Q'uoran-spouting Terrorists who kill in the name of their perverted notion of `The One True Faith'. Worse, because they claim to kill in the name of Christian love...

Tiller the Baby Killer was a strong advocate (obviously) of late term abortion. He physically and literally killed hundreds of infants in the ninth month of pregnancy. He would jab medical devices into the child's head and suck out the brain. If that didn't work, and the child somehow made his or her way out, he would straggle the baby to death. Saying that this guy is a monster is an understatement. I do not agree with the murder of Tiller but, as the old saying goes, "what comes around goes around." Karma can really bit hard.

Chris wrote: "Typical liberalism--shut down free speech. I wonder how many of you have called for William Ayers or Keith Olberman to be shut down." ------ Apparently Chris does not understand the difference between "free speech" and "hate speech" designed to dehumanize the "other." Consider, for example, the a Dec. 21, 2005 column of that darling of the right, Ann Coulter. “I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.” Appearing on CNBC’s Kudlow & Cramer on February 7, 2005, when discussing whether the U.S. military was targeting journalists, Coulter said, “Would that it were so!” In a January 10, 2005 article appearing in the New York Observer, Coulter was quoted as saying: “I’m getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning.” In Cruel and Unusual, Mark Crispin Miller quotes Coulter’s earlier remark at a right-wing conference: “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too.” Writing about Muslims on September 12, 2001 for the National Review, Coulter said, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” Glenn Beck is not one to be outdone by America’s Eva Braun. During a May 11, 2006 Clear Channel radio broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program, Beck said: “I say we nuke the bastards. In fact, it doesn’t have to be Iran. It can be everywhere, any place that disagrees with me.” (That amounts not only to a call for violence but for nuclear genocide!) O'Reilly's deceitful commentary borders on hate speech calculated to incite violence. While Olbermann is quite outspoken in his critique of the hard right's authoritarian mindset, I have never heard anything in his remarks that makes them comparable to O'Reilly. I doubt seriously, Chris, that you have either. To all the other right-wing Christians out there --- I have only one question. Tell me, who would Jesus have bombed? Ernest A. Canning

Do you want the government to outlaw your right to your body and quality care? I hope your loved ones are not turned away from quality doctor care. One of mine was after being stalked and raped by a policeman. She was luckier than others and survived a nonprofessional abortion. Remember Jesus stated, "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her." Some religious fanatics still stone raped women and try to own women. Who should own them as a slave? We know women with tubal pregnancies who would have died if ecclesiastical zealots had their way. We knew women with high blood pressure that did die in pregnancy and chose their path. Notice exodus describes no penalty for women who choose to terminate pregnancy, nor does any Bible passage. I don't see many women leaving the number of children they have up to someone else. My grandmother let the church decide and had 18 pregnancies. Women should be allowed to regulate their own bodies, starting with ovulation and contraception. 140 million orphan children and their mothers would love to be valued as much as embryos and feti are advertised. Notice most Pro-Lifers act as if life ends at birth. Are you willing to help mothers keep their children or to adopt ORPHANED children? My aunt almost orphaned 7 children while delivering a fetus that hadn't a skull. She was allowed choices. In medicine, a fetus becomes a baby when it take its first breath. Then, its siblings recognize it and it's named, christened, given citizenship, and celebrates its birthday. The value of a embryo or fetus is up to the person doing the work to create a new being. Unless you're willing to become a surrogate, it appears the only way to give rights to embryos and feti is to take away the rights of men, women, and children. Please value women and her children. If you want to reply, please use correct terminology rather than fallacies, such as begging the question and ad hominems.

Sorry this is lengthy--It is the Wiki on the nut from Oregon who shot Tiller in the'90's--notice the nuts do not fall to for from the tree--HER DAUGHTER! Make note that the Grant Pass area of Oregon is filled with crazies..AND don't forget that Dallas,Oregon at one time had the biggest population of KKK's this side of the Mississippi--- Rachelle Ranae "Shelley" Shannon (born 1956) is a pro-life activist from Grants Pass, Oregon. She assaulted Dr. George Tiller outside his abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas on August 19, 1993, shooting him in both arms. She is serving time in FCI Dublin. Her projected release date is November 7, 2018. At the time she attacked Tiller, Shannon had been a pro-life activist for five years and had written letters of support to Michael Griffin, who murdered David Gunn. She called Griffin "the awesomest, greatest hero of our time." She traveled to the Wichita clinic, a site of frequent demonstrations by abortion-rights and pro-life activists, and shot Tiller with a semiautomatic pistol.

What a useless system. What a horrible hardship on young adults. Those that have no idea what its like making all the rules. I don't get it.

You don't hesitate to defend the killing of that child. You're so caught up in the left-right dialectic its pathetic. By the way Bush's cabinet was loaded with Trotskyites who true to their communist icon advocated constant revolution as in the murder of innocents, ie; Iraqis.

To "Ernest": You are yet another left-winger who wants to punish people's thoughts rather than their actions. Did Bill O'Reilly kill the abortionist? NO. Did Bill O'Reilly call for anyone to kill the abortionist? NO. Hence, you have free speech. Here is where the liberals' relativism comes back to bite them--what is "hate" speech to you is free speech to others. Just because you disagree with it doesn't make it "hate" speech. This is the danger of "hate" (aka thought) crime laws and why they must be defeated. The killer of the abortionist should be punished for his actions--not his beliefs. And people like you shouldn't take the death of anyone in order to try to shut down someone else's free speech that you disagree with. We had just better hope the killer doesn't end up in front of one of those "empathetic" judges you liberals are such fans of.

Tiller: a very late, forth trimester, abortion. What happened to him is no different then what he did to viable babies. Anybody ever wonder about the hypocrisy of the left? Unborn babies have less legal protection then unborn eagles. You can't crack an eagle egg without being throwin jail but destroying an unborn human is perfectly acceptable.

They are so naive to to think he did it because he "cared" for the women. There are many who vouch for Dr. Tiller, for his courage and continued commitment to women's health in the face of threats to himself and his family.

It is about time that Fox news personalities are held legally responsible for their incitements to violence

Chris @ 56 said: Did Bill O'Reilly kill the abortionist? NO. Why are you arguing to let Charles Manson go free?! Or, for that matter, Osama bin Laden? Then you said: We had just better hope the killer doesn't end up in front of one of those "empathetic" judges you liberals are such fans of. Who? Like Justice Samuel Alito?: When testifying at his own confirmation hearings, he was all about empathy. "When a case comes before me involving, let's say, someone who is an immigrant ... I can't help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn't that long ago when they were in that position." Conservatives found no objection when Alito described his own brand of empathy. Chris, shall we find common ground in starting the Impeach Alito movement immediately?! Let me know. I'm with ya! (Though not on that Free Charles Manson thing you're advocating.)

Ahhh--liberals trying to put words in people's mouths. Let's try this yet again. Charles Manson told his followers to go and kill people. Bill O'Reilly did not. Osama bin Laden commanded his followers to go out and actually kill people. Bill O'Reilly has not told his viewers any such thing. Can we understand that?? **Incidentally, Manson's followers killed Sharon Tate when she was two weeks from giving birth--sounds like Mr. Tiller's kind of guy more than Mr. O'Reilly's, doesn't it? Justice Alito had shown before his confirmation that he had the ability to separate his empathy from the rule of law. From what we know of Sotomayor, she does not have that ability. You have no argument there. Reminiscing about your ancestors versus saying that your judicial skills are better because of your race are two different things. Can we understand that?? I hope we don't have to review this again.

Let me get this straight. If O'Reilly says he thinks Tiller is doing wrong, but DOESN'T call for his death, then O'Reilly is responsible for "inciting" this nut to murder Tiller. Yeah, right. So if I disagree with Obama, or some senators policies and say they are wrong, and then some other nut shoots Obama or a senator then I guess I can be sued for "inciting" the nut to violence. Hmmm... Not sure what that does for free speech or if that's constitutional. It is delusional, but not constitutional. Wake up people. This nut that murdered Tiller is a violent horrible man that does not represent the average pro-life viewpoints. HE himself is a hypocrite, but you can't stereotype ALL pro-lifers by one nut's actions. Unless of course you are going to 'profile' anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint. (Hmm... Does THAT constitute hate speech?) I am pro-life, that means I don't like ANY killing. AND I'm NOT ALONE. If it's a fetus, baby or adult, killing is WRONG period. I live in Wichita. I peacefully protested at his clinic. I disagreed with Tiller, but he should NOT have been murdered. Not only was it wrong and unjustifiable but it's about the most idiotic strategy a person could use to change the politics of abortion. 99.9% of us "right wing prolifers" are like that. It just gets me how many of the comments on this site BROADBRUSH anyone who is a Christian or is prolife as suddenly being in the same league as this nut who is in the 0.01% of prolifers. As if we ALL want to go out and murder someone today.

As an "independant/libertarian", I think both the left AND the right are nothing but highly propagandized automatons, at least as far as the so-called political arena is concerned. The fact that MANY of you are calling for an end to free speech and use of Bush's tyrannical Patriot Act that Obama "forgot" to repeal, is evidence that even when you're correct on an issue, you still serve as nothing more than Lenin's "useful idiots", calling for your own destruction by way of a militarized police state. Any liberal democrat with half a brain (and with the exception of the author of the article and a tiny handful of commentators, they appear to be in the minority here) would be busy showcasing the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS HYPOCRACY of condemning a woman's right to choose an abortion and openly advocating the death and torture of human beings outside the womb. The world of logic and reason gave him the rope, and Bill O has already tied the noose and hung himself on this one. So why the HELL would you be on here calling for the government to use and abuse an unconstitutional presidential directive which WILL probably wind up killing and imprisoning many of YOU in the not too distant future, over an arguement that you've already won? STOP BEING SELF-DESTRUCTIVE MORONS...please. Other than that, I actually agree with most of you. The cognative dissonance of the religious right's "sanctity of unborn life" arguement, met with their "Kill/torture anything that moves that isn't a pregnant American, christian, zionist, or neocon/sadist" arguement is so in-your-face ABSURD, and forever highlighted by unfortunate stories like this one, that anyone who's pro-choice and has a voice in the media shouldn't have a problem convincing rational people of this... key word, RATIONAL people...

Hey, the ACLU is about allowing free speech, and are the best advocates for it. They are also the best advocates for women's rights, humanity's rights. So, excuse me, Chris, how is it that the sadness of a life that has lived in a tragic setting, full of poverty, or drug use in a home, or inadequate income for supporting another, the sadness from that circumstance to a child, and the child's resulting life, with DESPAIR etched into their psyche forever, is it better to prevent the fetus from becoming the unsuspecting child, and the victim of circumstances, unacceptable for a child. Whether human or not, and you can't say it isn't human, but what consciousness level could exist in the fetus? I honestly do not believe it could be more than that of goldfish. Would I prefer to eliminate a goldfish from turning into a miserable child, with a life of misery? I will eliminate the goldfish/fetus. Do I want to have a child, by giving birth and live forever, never seeing that baby/child/adult again in my life? A whole nother tragedy. That experience has haunted, and deeply emotionally scarred women. A child living in an orphanage? Sad. The goldfish is gone. The late-term is not done except to keep the mother's health intact if in jeapordy, from the pregnancy. So, don't use that argument Righties!

It's amazing how the left wanders off in the wilderness when attempting to make an argument. The ACLUnatics aren't about constitutional rights--they're about left wing fanatacism (incidentally, where have they been while the couple in California have been told by the government they can't hold Bible study in their home with their neighbors?). Funny that you claim I don't know you're a liberal, yet you somehow know I'm a conservative (I am, proudly, by the way). The fact that you don't admit suggests perhaps---shame?? You then whine about conservatism being about "constitutional law." It is--the original intent of the Constitution (maybe you should study some). Let me remind you of another important document--the Declaration of Independence (upon which the Constitution was built): LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The founders had good common sense. It's just a shame so many leftists don't. It's clear the radicals will use a man's death to attempt to push their dead-upon-arrival agenda that the American people constantly reject yet have pushed in their face. No surprise there. What is surprising is the rapidity of the left's dehumanization of a living baby, what with comparing him/her to a "goldfish." As with civil rights and slavery, in the end true human rights will win out--not the radical view that "my property is my business." A separate human being is not property, and they are entitled to full constitutional rights. You have yours, so why are you so obsessed with keeping it from others? Sick. Lastly, a child who may be born in unfortunate circumstances doesn't justify killing that child. That's a ridiculous, almost comical, argument. A new poll released in May show Americans favor the pro-life view by an average of 14%. God-willing, this nightmare and shameful period of history will be over soon, and we can come to terms with what we've done.

It is--the original intent of the Constitution (maybe you should study some). Which "original intent" would that be? The part that originally intended for African-Americans to be 3/5's of a person, and the property of their owners? Or the part which requires equal protection for all (14th amendment), which phony "conservatives" tend to ignore when, for example, arguing that two men or two women have no "right" to be married? A new poll released in May show Americans favor the pro-life view by an average of 14%. I'm surprised that more aren't pro-life, since they're living and all. Now if the poll had asked them if they were anti-choice, that's another matter. That said, 80% also believed that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11 at one point, and that he had WMD.

I suggest you study history concerning the 3/5 clause. The purpose was to prevent more pro-slavery congressmen from getting into power, for while (hypocritically) blacks weren't considered people, they were counted in the population census. Thus, the founders decided that rather than count them as a full person, counting them as 3/5 would cut down the population of the slave-holding states, thus limiting pro-slavery congressmen. Just a little history lesson for ya, bud. Oh, by the way--the same Constitution ended importation of slaves. Talking to the pro-abortion nuts is like talking to a brick wall. They knit-pick and can't refute people's arguments. I'll simply leave you with Fr.

Bill O' Reilly, much as I loath his smug, pasty persona, is merely a media everywhiteman, Rush's pervy Jack Spratt. But if some crazy guy reading Bradblog frequently and obsessively decided to off Tom Feeney or the former CEO of Diebold based on the heated (even if slightly less so than target Bill's) rhetoric occasionally encountered here, would you be liable, Brad?

As a side note, it's amazing to me how many people are suckered in by the hate-and-fear industry (otherwise known as the GOP, Faux News, and the "liberal" media) can't get past the sensationalism of these stories and get down to the point of it all - if we decided to take responsibility for one another and care of one another (like your precious imaginary Christ taught) - instead of looking for "evil" all the time, we might have a better chance of living happy and healthy lives. Because who are we to judge evil? Read your bibles, bitches - it's not your job. Of course, since I'm an non-believer, it's not at all hypocritical for me to tell you how to live your lives, because I don't submit to imaginary God's imaginary authority, and you do. I do believe we're all in this together, and the more we isolate ourselves, the more ignorance takes over and the more we have incidents like this. Dr. Tiller should not have been murdered - period. I will be truly shocked if the person who committed this crime isn't a "pro-life" whack-job who is a huge fan of Fox News and Randall Terry.

Of Abortion, and Women as the Ultimate Source of Evil The fetus only exists because of the woman's body --- not yours, not that of some possibly corrupt and stupid politician in Washington, and not the body of some possibly ignorant and venal politician in a state legislature. The right of the woman to control her own body when she is pregnant must be absolute up to the point of birth. In terms of the political theory involved, the basic question is a stark and simple one: if you cannot control your own body, what other rights can you possibly have? If your body is not yours, what does it matter if you can freely express your political and religious convictions? The principle involved is similarly simple: as long as you are not violating anyone else's rights, your right to control your own body is absolute. Period. For the reason indicated above, the fetus is not a person in the same sense the mother is: the fetus would not exist but for the woman who carries it. The woman's right to her own body must, in fact and in logic, take precedence over whatever rights you believe the fetus possesses, up to the time of birth. http://powerofnarrative....d-women-as-ultimate.html

From Honoring Dr. George Tiller by Rebecca Young: Dr. Tiller has always been a hero of mine. Here is a man who has dedicated his life to women's health, to providing legal services to women who need them and to treating his patients with dignity and respect. Here also is a dedicated father of four, grandfather of ten, husband and friend to many... And now here is a man who has given his life for his work, murdered at his place of worship. No one should be killed simply for doing their job. No one should be singled out for a campaign of harassment and violence as Dr. Tiller was for years... As one of only a handful of doctors in the United States who provide late term abortions, he has been a constant target of the fanatic anti-abortion movement. He has been shot in both arms. His clinic has been bombed. He and his family have suffered death threats. Yet he has persisted through all of this to serve those women who need him, who have nowhere else to turn. And that, my friends, is true courage. This fitting tribute cuts through the dehumanizing propaganda that spills from the lips of right-wing demagogues like Bill O'Reilly. Their vicious propaganda is responsible in this case in the same manner that Nazi propaganda was responsible for the atrocities committed against Jews and racist propaganda during the Jim Crow period was responsible for the atrocities committed against African Americans.

When a woman spreads her legs open without

contraception,and later realizes what happens

when sperm impacts from one or more males

with her egg, and decides to terminate the

life of the thing growing inside her, she

is equally guity of murder as the one she goes

to, to operate the device that sucks that thinb

from her orifice. Tiller was a soldier in the war for the right

of women to create and terminate at-will,

but don't forget that those women are

co-conspirators.

Bill O'Reilly's jihad against Dr. George Tiller

by Jed Lewison

Mon Jun 01, 2009 at 08:38:03 AM PDT

Since 2005, Bill O'Reilly has waged jihad against Dr. George Tiller, dedicating 29 segments of his show to demonizing and dehumanizing Tiller, who he invariably called "Tiller the baby killer." As you can see from these video clip samplings of O'Reilly's holy war, you don't have to actually pull the trigger to help sponsor terrorism: For more on Bill O'Reilly's holy war against Dr. Tiller, see Turkana's recommended diary and Gabriel Winant's article in Salon.

Its really sad, stupid and barbaric to glorify Tiller, making him into some sort of martyr. He is a murderer. He profited from killing children. I know women are allowed to get whatever they want, which includes killing other people whenever they feel sad or regretful. I know the slight majority of them vote for whoever gives them those "rights". Almost all of us would be Nazi's in Nazi Germany. Don't kid yourself. The "wacko's" would be the ones trying to save the Jews.

To all you MORANS who posted after comment #100, I'll repeat: Of Abortion, and Women as the Ultimate Source of Evil The fetus only exists because of the woman's body --- not yours, not that of some possibly corrupt and stupid politician in Washington, and not the body of some possibly ignorant and venal politician in a state legislature. The right of the woman to control her own body when she is pregnant must be absolute up to the point of birth. In terms of the political theory involved, the basic question is a stark and simple one: if you cannot control your own body, what other rights can you possibly have? If your body is not yours, what does it matter if you can freely express your political and religious convictions? The principle involved is similarly simple: as long as you are not violating anyone else's rights, your right to control your own body is absolute. Period. For the reason indicated above, the fetus is not a person in the same sense the mother is: the fetus would not exist but for the woman who carries it. The woman's right to her own body must, in fact and in logic, take precedence over whatever rights you believe the fetus possesses, up to the time of birth. http://powerofnarrative....d-women-as-ultimate.html

While the baby killing supporters are going nuts over thsi murder. 7 I repeat 7 people were murdered in the home town of our community organizer. Yea.. looks like all the money put into that project is really paying off. Don't forget to dedicate some time to all those people killed by gang violence. Does that mean if you oppose gang violence and someone takes it into their own hands to kill a gang member then you are responsible for that death? Get real. Besides if you were really concerned about the protection of life you would want the murder of children in the womb to stop - now wouldn't you? If you support abortion then you not only support but encourage the killing of innocent babies in the womb. Tiller was a killer. But that is not an excuse to murder him. I hope his killer gets the death penalty.

Big Dan. Go look at wikipedia. Evidently SEX REQUIRES BOTH A MAN AND A WOMEN!!!1! Women make an implicit contract with their child that they will take it to term once they create it just as men are held responsible for their children whether or not they decide later they did not want to create the child. You are completely ignoring the rights of the child the woman already agreed to create and also the rights of the man who has just as much at stake as the woman because he may have taken care of the woman based on her taking it to term and he will be required to pay child support if she does have the baby. The child is not part of the woman's body. It has it's own organs, DNA, brain, thoughts and so forth. It is identical to the version of itself that ends up being born. Children born early are not worth less as people nor are children born late worth more being more. Privacy has nothing to do with it. If a woman wants to kill a child in the privacy of her home she is not allowed. If she did not want to be in a situation where she wants to commit murder she should have planned ahead, something that abortion allows people to forego.

I know it will come as a shock to the anti-abortion crowd, but under Anglo-American common law, the killing of an unborn fetus was not considered murder or even a homicide. Those legal words (homicide/murder) were reserved for the taking of a life after a live birth and prior to a natural death.

It says O'Reilly isn't responsible for what happened, and most would tend to agree; but there is a dangerous new law that could land him in jail - the Hate Bill. I'm sure they wouldn't use it against him. He's well-supported by a large branch of the mainstream media. But technically he could be charged under this bill as also responsible. Morally he is, but the Hate Bill sets a seriously questionable precedence for freedom of speech in general.

As an addendum to my previous post in which I noted that under Anglo/American common law the death of an unborn fetus was neither murder nor homicide, I would add that the concept that life begins at conception is a religious one, not a legal one. The entire anti-abortion crusade is predicated on the unfortunate belief by religious fanatics that they have a right to force others to accept their religious doctrine. This is not to say that a state has no right to regulate the issue. Under Roe v. Wade, the state has a legitimate interest during the third trimester, but it is troubling to see the likes of Bill O'Reilly trying to become judge and jury by declaring Dr. Tiller to be a "murderer" --- opening the door to a vigilante executioner. What is so troubling about the many fanatic anti-abortion crowd posting here and elsewhere is that they have lost sight of the fact that we are a nation of laws. It is for our courts to determine whether a doctor has so much as violated our laws, let alone whether he or she is guilty of murder. O'Reilly's tirades are irresponsible journalism at its worse and a despicable incitement to the cold-blooded murder of Dr. Tiller. Tries as you might, you cannot evade that basic truth. Ernest A.

Cann4ing: Scientifically it is a fact that there is no difference between the baby in the womb and the baby outside of it. The woman's uterus is just a container. Scientifically we've found far more evidence than ever before that the baby acts just like a baby inside the womb. The religious dogma is that of feminism allowing woman to murder because it is just what happens to be convenient sometimes. Ya, murder is sometimes convenient, that is why it is generally against the law. If it wasn't convenient no one would ever do it. You cannot call an opinion an incitement of an act. You cannot call into question free speech if it isn't a direct lie making someone think an action is necessary. The fact is he killed babies and was killed by someone for it. That someone will go to jail and yet none of this is relevant to whether or not murder (abortion) should be called murder. It is murder and will be called murder.

ML @ 92 asked: if some crazy guy reading Bradblog frequently and obsessively decided to off Tom Feeney or the former CEO of Diebold based on the heated (even if slightly less so than target Bill's) rhetoric occasionally encountered here, would you be liable, Brad? First, I haven't argued O'Reilly's "liability" in the matter, but rather reported on how he'd demonized Tiller over and over as a "killer" who "executes babies", etc. Second, we have never demonized either Feeney or Diebold as "killers" in any way. We have reported on independently verifiable information concerning the way they have conducted business. Where O'Reilly repeatedly used ad hominem accusations that Tiller was committing violent acts of murder, and "exterminations" (which would be illegal), without supplying evidence for same, he was doing little more than enflaming his base with incitement to take violent action in response, as I see it. To equate substantive reportage on folks accused of breaking the law, or behaving irresponsibly, versus declaring someone akin to a Nazi exterminator carrying out an active "death mill" seems a tremendous stretch as far as I see it. Not even close, in fact. And, btw, I am always extremely careful with whatever I write here for the few thousand folks who read it (versus the millions who tune in to O'Reilly on a daily basis) to be careful about inciting anyone to acts of violence. Though I have the tiniest fraction of the audience that O'Reilly does, I'm constantly extremely careful in that regard, often obsessive about it, in fact. O'Reilly has shown absolutely no similar inclination. As they say in Spider-Man, with power comes responsibility. I have not seen evidence that Bill O'Reilly has any understanding of that very correct point.

Can be applied to remove the DANGEROUS CULT'S POWER SOURCE--our airwaves. And I have to take an unpopular side. It isn't Bill O'Reilly who commit the murder. (It's called Murder, not Terrorism.) If I had to be on a jury in Bill O'Reilly's case, I would simply wait to see if he had gun shot residue on his hands, dna from a bloody knife, no? Nullification time. People have choice. You don't have to become a psychopathic murderer. As far as inciting people to acts of violence, it's questionable. What if doctors and cops starting rounding people up forcing them to take vaccines? Vaccines which are known to kill people and destroy their brain? Would that be domestic terrorism? It'sad only a few years ago, all these types of comments would be considered mis-communications, or elevating it to something to be sued over or worst investigated. Perhaps an apology being only needed at the first level. (maybe the person was drunk) Now with the Constitution gone anyone who speaks their mind (even if it's misguided) is labeled a terrorist in some secret database. It's obvious the FCC needs an overhaul. A way for feedback to have teeth into America's most dangerous cult --- Corporate Media. And the whole web/internet crackdown on misguided posts, needs to simply be moderated with common sense, by the owners of the blogs, instead of dictated to by government. Word of mouth will quickly isolate those who we all deem as "too much", "over the top." They shoot their own foot. It's a skill set very few have anymore. Brad seems to get it right here in this thread, he knows his limits. It's getting to the point where if you "wish

someone dead" your basically saying you want them dead. Utter nonsense. While I defend O'Reilly here, as he has a right to be an idiot, I also believe it's ultimately the woman's right to choose --- not men, and I also believe we have a right to ban the asshole from our "public spectrum", as well as a right to label corporate media what it is. "A dangerous cult." Ignoring the criminal part of what has happened, should we not be working our ass's off to hold corporate media responsible by controlling the grant or denial of a frequency, and station? Public File's MUST be made available online to American citizens by all broadcast media. (I can't wait to see all my typos)

"---as he should! regarding men paying for children that are not biologically theirs, it does not happen a lot and is usually in the case of a man who was already caring for that child long before he found out it wasnt his, as such, it does not matter that the child is not biologically his as he was the father" How can you say that? If the crime went undetected for a long time then what the mother did was even worse. To say that fraud is ok as long as the fraudster gets away with it is preposterous. "biased family courts fathers should financially care for their children, if they wanted to step up and be primary care giver, then they should fight for it and then if the mother works she'd be paying child support - when a couple with children separate, the man becomes single and the woman becomes a single mother - it isnt the courts that decree this so dont kid yourself there buddy" The point about biased family courts is that they actually do almost always rule in favor of the mother. I know you don't care, but don't be ignorant. "a father should contribute money to the rearing of his child" Well, he has like absolutely no say in whether or not it is born after it is conceived so why can't he just say until it actually is born that he doesn't want it anymore and that if the woman wants to go through with it she can but he won't have any financial responsibility? Oh I know why we can't do that, we can't do it because it doesn't unfairly discriminate in favor of women. "i dont have to worry about being arrested for making a private decision to have a medical procedure because abortion is legal" It is not a medical procedure anymore than shooting someone is. It is legal, but it should be illegal. "(and just to bring some levity to this discourse, i do not have to attach a hose from my body to my whom to sustain life while i am inside of it either...genius lol) " You eat food out of it. You breath the air inside of it. It is really a similar thing. An even better analogy though would be an astronaut since they actually do have tubes attached and such. Of course, I wouldn't want to use that analogy. Why would you care about something that doesn't affect you? After all, you can't picture yourself inside a womb getting your brains sucked out. Rarely is anyone who experienced anything like that going to come out and give their say on it.

Evan wrote: Scientifically it is a fact that there is no difference between the baby in the womb and the baby outside of it. ______________________________ Really? So if a fetus that has been in utero for two months is removed from the womb, it can breathe and survive off its mother's breast milk? If you are going to make illogical claims about science, Evan, you might try backing them up with a link to a scientific journal. Next, when Bill O'Reilly or any other commentator said that Dr. Tiller was a murderer, they are no longer "merely expressing an opinion." It is a factual claim that the targeted individual --- here Dr. Tiller --- has committed a crime. If untrue, the statement is not "protected" free speech, but, instead, amounts to libel. Let's consider just the second graphic in which O'Reilly describes Dr. Tiller as a baby killer. If, legally, there was no difference between a baby after birth and a late term abortion, then Dr. Tiller would have been indicted by the relevant authorities for murder I and brought before the bar of justice. The fact that Dr. Tiller had performed the procedure for over a span of years reflects that, in the eyes of the law, there is a very real difference between a late-term abortion and the premeditated killing of a baby after its live birth. Yet O'Reilly took it on himself to be judge and jury, and, predictably, a nut case out there who listened to his tripe, took matters into his own hands. You can't set a match to a fuse then claim you are blameless when the bomb goes off. Ernest A. Canning

Golly Brad, this'll no doubt help the Government, with Jewish media complicity, to pass "hate crimes" legislation, which will include "hate speech" provisions, that'll shut down all criticism of Jewry and Zionism won't it. Brad, you've exposed yourself to be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.

The story itself, i.e. abortionist AKA murderer of tens of thousands of babies, is shot down while attending his church. LOL, that's almost too much, and a big clue that the "Big Lie" is at work. Only the ADL/SPLC/Mossad is capable of setting this up, knowing that their co-ethnics in the media will "run with it." What Christian church would have among its members an abortionist? What kind of abortionist would attend a Christian church? Abortionists terminate the lives of babies for the purpose of making money. They're not on some "holy crusade" murdering unborn children for Jesus. Jews can be abortionists, Christians can't period.

I'm glad to see all the free speech here. Wow, 165 comments, is that some kind of a record? How can people who claim to revere life not revere a woman's life when threatened by a pregnancy? How can people who claim to revere life decide that in certain circumstances it's ok to terminate a pregnancy but only when some authority other than the pregnant woman herself makes the call? How can people who claim to revere life be willing to force a woman to continue a pregnancy that is a result of violence or incest? How can people who claim to revere life be eager to subject an unwilling pregnant woman to what amounts to forced servitude and risks to her physical and mental health in order to preserve a group of cells? How can people who claim to revere life be so eager to preserve a pregnancy at all costs without regard to the violence done to the woman and the child when born into a life of grinding poverty? Hypocrites.

How come pro-choice proponents never mention what generally happens to women AFTER they get an abortion? HHow come they never mention the regret, the emotional pain, the guilt, the lifetime spent on anti-depressants. II can't tell you how many childless "successful" women I have encountered in myy life, that obtained abortions in their youth, that would give it ALL [All of their material bullshit acquired since that fateful decision] away, just to hold that baby in their arms and love it for a minute. I laugh at you fools, go out and get some, murder your babies for a taste of materialism, reject Christ, worship the Jew.

One-third of all women in the US will have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old (a statistic reported by Planned Parenthood). I expect that some of them will have regrets. I expect that some mothers who carry their babies to term will also have regrets. Depression is found in both groups. I have known women who had abortions and, while they expressed regret, mainly they felt relieved. I fervently hope that any materialistic baby-murderer is brought to justice. I am certain that those who seek and provi
