Potential human life.

However "shallow" my comprehension of fascism, Reverand, you are lost in its depths. Likewise, you have no way of knowing either the life story of each of Tiller's patients or how individual conservatives think of abortion.

And please Reverand stop trying "to hide the truth" about abortion. I have no doubt that many women who seek abortion have tragic stories. That does not change the fact that abortion is the intentional destruction of a human life.

Quid has a very shallow comprehension of the word "fascism."

Conservatives make it sound like women are recklessly and flippantly aborting their babies for sake of convenience. That reflects blatant ignorance. Dr. Tiller's patients each had a tragic story and all wanted to carry their baby to term….but because of horrible circumstances, were forced to make heartbreaking decisions.

Don't allow your ideological cloaks to hide the truth.

Rev,
Legal doesn't make it right. Slavery was legal once too.

So, I take it you are in favor of aborting 8 month old fetuses ???

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines "fascism" as "a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition". Rush Limbaugh may irritate leftists and be somewhat "over the top" in the articulation of his beliefs. But Fascist he is not.

You, on the other hand, have advocated government control of large sections of the economy, including health care, and the suppression of free speech of those with whom you disagree. The adjective "fascist" applies to you, Reverand, not Rush.

Quid…I don't have any goals to advance. I know America is in decline, and barring a miracle, will self-degrade into an ugly third world country. This blog is simply a way for me to express my anger at the nonsense.

And here's a question for you….do you think Rush's "fascist behavior" all these years has advanced his goals?

And tell me…what should be the response of an average American nobody, like me, to the pre-meditated murders of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi human beings and 4300 of our own American soldiers?

King…late term abortion, King, is….legal….in the U.S. The way to change that, is to win elections….something conservatives are having some difficulty with.

Were I a psychologist, Reverand, I would diagnose your condition as one of projection. The King is correct. Hate speech drips form virtually all of your posts. Do you really believe that your fascist behavior advances your goals?

It seems the Reverend's definition of inciteful hate speech is entirely subjective, and excludes…the Reverend. The Rev himself engages in this very type of speech. He called for Bush and Cheney to be hanged, calls them Nazis, calls them war criminals, etc, etc, etc. All very hate inspiring. He's even doing it in this post, and consistently demonizes Republicans by engaging in all sorts of negative name-calling and hate-filled assertions.

The hate speech hardly all comes from the right, and some of it isn't hate speech at all, such as this observation I will make right now – late term abortion is murder. That isn't hate, it's medical fact. Aborting 6-8 month old fetuses that are viable babies cannot be objectively categorized as anything other than murder.

What O'Reilly was doing was inciting violence….and he was successful.

O'Reilly didn't try to contextualize Tiller's legal work. O'Reilly didn't tell his audiences about the rape and incest victim 10 and 11 year olds that Tiller mercifully helped. O'Reilly never brought up the hundreds or heartbreaking reasons late term abortions are requested.

Instead, O'Reilly continued to call the doctor "Tiller the baby killer". If we had an FCC that worked, O'Reilly would be off the air.

I am in favor of monitoring hate and subversive speech on American "news" programs….you know, like the NSA monitors all Americans' electronic communications.

Do you really believe that inciting violence should be protected speech?

Thanks for the link to Olberman, Reverand. I am disappointed, but not surprised, that you adopt his fascist goals. Life and politics would be so much more orderly if we could just banish the thoughts and speech of those with whom we disagree. This is the position of Keith Olberman, at least in the link you so conviently supplied in response to my last post. Olberman stated that his goal in attacking Fox News as being complicit in the death of Tiller was to get "O'Reilly off the air".

The evidence he cited to support his position that Fox News "incited" the killer to murder Tiller was that Tiller was aborted late-term unborn babies. Is this not true?

You have made your position clear Reverand. You are in favor of banning the free speech rights of those who criticize positions which you advocate. Apparently, this applies even when the criticism is factually true.
