Abortion foe eyes 'new generation' - Pro-lifer Terry launches new 'Rescue' effort
Source: Washington Times

Randall Terry, one of the best-known abortion opponents in the U.S., launched a new version of Operation Rescue this weekend, calling on activists from across the country to press on despite bad publicity over the May 31 slaying of abortion doctor George Tiller.

Forty-five people from 16 cities met at the Crystal City Doubletree hotel Saturday for a hastily arranged "emergency pro-life training conference" to recruit more foot soldiers in the battle against abortion.

"The freeing moment will come when you decide to take a bullet for this movement," Mr. Terry said in a small ballroom watched over by one security guard. "Then you can't be bullied and intimidated into silence anymore."

<snip>

"My mission is to raise up a new generation," he said, "to recruit them, train them and unleash them."

I know this is the Loonie Moonie times but I thought it was still worth posting for people who want to keep an eye out for new potentially dangerous rightwing groups.

26. Yeah
and if they were TAKING bullets, they'd be welcome to do so. It's interesting how people firing guns feel like they're the victims.

2. Has someone forwarded this information to the FBI? Don't assume they know it.

17. Don't assume they haven't known, either --
Edited on Mon Jun-15-09 03:03 PM by defendandprotect
or that they've been ready to do something about it --

Scott Roeder should have been well known to them --

He was a regular at gluing locks at women's clinics -- he was on film

and identified by clinic workers -- and reported to FBI.

Roeder had returned the prior Saturday to glue locks at another Kansas

clinic and it was reported to the FBI/Kansas within five minutes of his acts --

and again they had him on film and he had been visually identified, plus again, license plate #.

Had the FBI acted on the Saturday before Roeder moved to kill Dr. Tiller, he

might now still be alive!

People who watch the Freepers very easily saw that Roeder was a regular poster

including on Operation Rescue -- and that he wanted protesters to move into

Tiller's CHURCH! Evidently, none of these sources appeal to the FBI!!!

Addtionally, Dr. Tiller had been asking for more protection in lieu of increasing

attacks on his clinic and personal threats. They didn't provide that either!!!


Unfortunately, too many religious fanatics are willing to believe that "god" hates

women, but loves those "pro-life" murderers.

4. 'Take a bullet'? These nutjobs are the ones doing the shooting.
Or is Randall Terryist expecting some of the anti-choice shooters to get shot back at, like the Holocaust Museum shooter was?

11. Someone else's bullet
Like Bin Laden, I am sure he has someone else in mind for taking that bullet.

This man also has the worst toupee I have ever seen a human being put on their head. I hope he doesn't consider it a Godly toupee because it looks like his head's been cursed.

12. this jerk is a complete woman-hater. his grandmother was a civil rights activist,
and his aunts were strong feminists. talk about backlash.

and if you look at his personal history as an adult, he is a hypocrite in every single way.

15. Unfortunately, that news doesn't seem to get out there . . . I remember
hearing this long ago -- but it sure doesn't get repeated much!?

And recently heard he's switched from his first marriage onto a new one with

someone a great deal younger?

Looks like Randall Terry has been growing rich and fat sending religious fanatics

out to do violence for him while he's lived the GOP high life?

25. Yes. So he disowned him and called his birth mother (he's adopted) a prostitute,
saying that's why he's gay.

24. He left his first wife for his secretary. His church kicked him out so he converted to Catholicism
and then said his first wife didn't count (and his older kids were illegitimate) because they weren't married by the church. He's disowned all of hid older kids, birth or adopted, but he's kept his secretary/wife/full auto baby launcher busy making replacements, they have at least four.

13. That poor excuse for a "human" should be committed to a psychiatric hospital.
Edited on Mon Jun-15-09 02:27 PM by gauguin57
This has gone so far beyond ridiculous.

Randy dumped his wife of 19 years (and mother of his four kids) for a 22-year-old assistant (now the oh-so-lucky second Mrs. Terry). He treats women like so much used Kleenex.

May he rot in the deepest pit of hell.

14. As usual, the psycho wants to blame the victim -- !!!
It becomes inescapably clear, that he has organized the least able thinkers --

and the most fanatically and religiously obedient servants -- to do HIS dirty work!

Only fanatical religion and the GOP would claim Randall Terry!

16. Oh, he's a slick one, alright
Everybody else can take a bullet, but HE has a "mission".

Which also...surprise, surprise...involves not shedding one drop of blood for the sake of the POOR INNOCENT BABIES.

27. The whacko right is pumped and ready for action
The recent terror assassinations have them excited. They're giddy over their Prop H8 win in CA. Obama's DOMA brief which parroted all the right-wing talking points about gays has them wetting their pants.

They're rarin' to go.

28. We need a Rightwing threats watch group/board
There’s so many veiled, and not so veiled threats made on certain websites. It would be nice to put them all in one place for research, and so we could keep up with them, there’s so many lately.

29. One of the best things to do is to monitor your own community
That's what we have been doing. We know many of the extremists and we have researched their connections and affiliations. We keep an eye on what they're doing and what they say in public (e.g., school board meetings, local government meetings) and on local blogs.

30. The only people firing bullets are his own TERRORISTS.
What can be more bully-ish and intimidating than the fear of going to church or about your daily business and some right-to-control whacko comes out and shoots you dead??

31. Here are some reason why abortion should NOT be banned EVER
Edited on Mon Jun-15-09 07:07 PM by and-justice-for-all
http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/birthdefects/glossary.shtm

Are they all legitimate reasons? Some not so much, some are correctable, while others are not. But I do not have to live with making such a decision, the women carrying the child however does and she needs a safe and clean environment for when and if she so chooses to make that choice.

and there is also this list:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/geneticsbirthdefects.html

Not all pregnancies are health ones, not all fetuses develop normally and not all birth defects are correctable. In the Pro-lifers imaginary world, they think ALL pregnancies are healthy ones and that every fetus develops just fine.

Pro-lifers live in a delusional world, one that does not contain any ounce of reality.

33. pro-life is killing someone in a church, then?
pro-life=pro fetus, NOT truly for "life", that's why they don't protest U.S. high infant mortality rates. It should be endlessly pointed out these people are not what they call themselves, women's health clinics is the truth NOT "abortion mills". Don't let them deform the language. Anti-birth control, not pro-life, against ALL birth control, secretly.
