Frank Schaeffer: How I (and Other "Pro-Life" Leaders) Contributed to Dr. Tiller's Murder »
Posted By cosmogenium 7 months ago in Political NewsMy late father and I share the blame (with many others) for the murder of Dr. George Tiller the abortion doctor gunned down on Sunday.

Schaeffer was on Rachael Maddow tonight. He talked about private meetings among pro life leaders back then, & said the leaders were very different in private. Wish I could remember his exact words, but 'militant' should suffice. One of those he named was pat robertson.

I tried to edit, but it wouldn't work. Shaeffer is correct. The republican party has been practicing and encouraging hate for decades now, using the religious wrong to gather votes for em. The GOP....our own little terrorist group with their "hate machine" churning like mad.

"And it's all to do one thing: Discredit all religious [sic]-- especially Christians that are against abortion."

This is not about religion; it's about politics.
The Moral Majority, Religious Right, etc. are not a religion -- certainly not a Christian religion -- they are political activists.
A real Christian is one who follows in the footsteps of Christ, and he would never commit or condone murder, for any reason. -
