Via KMBC of Kansas City, MO, here's video from the scene of Dr. George Tiller murder suspect Scott Roeder's arrest -- including the little-reported detail that Roeder had a handwritten Operation Rescue phone number on his dashboard:

..................

So whose number was on Scott Roeder's dashboard?



It turns out the number belongs to Operation Rescue senior policy advisor Cheryl Sullenger, who was convicted of conspiring to bomb an abortion clinic in 1988. Justin Kendall of The Pitch has the details:

The phone number is written on an envelope with the name "Cheryl" and "Op Rescue." Cheryl is Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue's senior policy adviser, who in 1988 was convicted of conspiring to bomb a California abortion clinic. She served two years in prison.

To recap: The man accused of killing George Tiller had on his dashboard the phone number of convicted abortion clinic bomber Cheryl Sullenger, the senior policy adviser for the very same organization that has been all over the airways today to saying that they are a strictly non-violent group.

1. Oh yeah, this should be INVESTIGATED and it's not a stretch to suggest "Domestic Terrorism." NT

2. Please go after US-based christian terrorism cells.

9. And I seem to recall Pat Robertson suggested assassinating Hugo Chavez.

That goes beyond First Amendment rights. And it just disappeared into the past, as if it never happened. It's the same as what is going on with these clowns. Granted, I wouldn't have minded one bit if something had happened to Bush or Cheney. But there are no laws against what one thinks. Speaking out publicly is an act.

3. So he could call and report "mission accomlished?"

And give them the go ahead to scrub the OR website? I don't believe Roeder acted alone in this.

4. Who there hired Ms. Sullenger with that record?

7. Someone interested in her area of expertise? n/t

[Wizard777]

8. That would be the policy of murder, violence, and intimidation?

[MountainLaurel]

11. Yep, pretty much n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

5. Sounds like the whole organization needs to be labeled a terrorist group.

The person in question should be investigated as a co-conspirator/accomplice. And a civil suit should be filed for Operation Rescue's complicity in the wrongful death of Dr. Tiller

6. Now that we have a clear link. The Republicans will RUSH to redefine the meaning of link.

... Cheryl Sullenger, of Operation Rescue, fears Tiller's death could prompt sympathy for opponents.'It makes the abortionists the victims,' Sullenger said. 'They're not the victims. They're the victimizers as far as we're concerned' ... Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry told a National Press Club audience that Tiller was a 'mass murderer' who 'reaped what he sowed' ... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2009288764_docshot02.html
