In the very heart of the pro-life community, there is nothing they wanted less than another shooting of an abortionist. An unhinged vigilante's shooting of notorious Kansas late-term abortion "provider" George Tiller prompted an avalanche of press releases from pro-life groups denouncing the killing.

Why bother? Let's face it. The national media had zero interest in spotlighting a pro-life spokesman expressing horror, because let's face it, they don't believe it. Instead, as with ABC, they found anonymous citizens on the website Twitter saying "Oh, happy, day. Tiller the baby killer is dead." Another wrote, "God bless the gunman."

It was time for a barrage of liberal mudslinging. Keith Olbermann started his MSNBC program with these words: "A religious jihad by fundamentalist crusaders who believe that murder is justified, their acts of violence having the intended effect of changing behavior. Our fifth story on the Countdown: Not the Taliban, not Hamas, not al-Qaida."

*** Special Offer ***

He was referring to conservative politicians and bloggers and the Fox News Channel. Olbermann insisted there was a "straight line" of culpability from Fox News to the Tiller shooter. He played clips of O'Reilly disparaging Tiller: "For $5,000 dollars, Tiller, 'the baby killer,' as some call him, will perform a late-term abortion for just about any reason." And: "Tiller the baby killer out in Kansas, acquitted. Acquitted today of murdering babies. There's got to be a special place in hell for this guy."

Olbermann was so offended he called for a boycott of businesses that allow a Fox News infection in public.

"Don't write a letter, don't make a threat, just get up and explain, if they will not change the channel," he exclaimed, "leave the place and say calmly why it is you are taking your business elsewhere. If you know a viewer of that channel, show them this tape, or just the tape of the attacks on Dr. Tiller that set the stage for his assassination. Fox News Channel will never restrain itself from incitement to murder and terrorism, not until its profits begin to decline, when its growth stops. So not so much a boycott here as a quarantine, because this has got to stop." Continued...

LeftUSA - you opine, and you guess…

LeftUSA writes: “Intellect can inform morality and law just fine, thanks. No god required.”

That is naïve. Even your fellow Leftists acknowledge your error, which you conveniently chose to ignore:

“Nor would separationists object to the notion that Judaism and Christianity have contributed to American law. Of course they have. America inherited it's common law from Britain, and British common law was certainly influenced by Christianity.” -- excerpt from “Responding to the Right: The Basic Arguments”

Intellect without God has spawned the most grotesque and cruel dictatorial regimes in history.

~~~

LeftUSA writes: “My personal opinion is that if there's a god, that's what he's waiting for us to realize. But unlike you, I know that's just a guess.”

You opine, and you guess…

“Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.” (Proverbs 21:2)

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25)

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)

You have not intelligently rebutted the arguments put forth, and you offer no positions of your own that can withstand cross-examination… you just opine, and you guess…

I suspect those on your side of the debate would prefer more competent representation…

LeftUSA - about knowing God…

LeftUSA writes: “We're not supposed to know god.”

God says you’re wrong.

“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9)

“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.” (Deu 4:35)

“But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.” (John 7:29)

“But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:26)

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2 Tim 1:12)

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.” (1 John 2:3-5)

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” (John 20:30-31)

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20)
