Anti-abortion fruitcake Randall Terry, who’s on a road tour to beg senators to “Stop Sotomayor!” by filibustering her nomination to SCOTUS, wasn’t having much luck in Kansas yesterday:
Terry’s 45-minute protest not far from Sen. Sam Brownback’s office drew one columnist, one TV cameraman, a family of three and a woman who arrived as he packed up for his next stop, Topeka. He’s on a 12-city tour, calling for a Senate filibuster against Sotomayor. Brownback’s staff didn’t even let him into their office.
Well, that can’t be good. Brownback is of the same ideological bent as Terry, and he wouldn’t even let him in the office to use the bathroom, let alone talk to him about filibustering. Could it be that even mainstream anti-choicers like Brownback have had enough of the brain-damaged fanaticism of crazed fascist punks like Terry and his aborted baby, Operation Rescue? Ya think?:
For many, Operation Rescue are words forever linked with the fanatical violence that left Tiller dead. Terry and Newman denounced the violence, but it’s far from clear how the slaying will affect their support.
“Denounced the violence” — sure; if by “denounced” you mean “screeched about mass murderers and hands drenched with the Blood of Teh Unborn”, followed by weasely denials of culpability. But the bottom line is:
Religious conservatives don’t have the sway in Washington they once did. Many conservative pastors now believe the most effective way to reduce abortions is by limiting unwanted pregnancies in the first place. The country would be wise to continue shifting away from the tactics long deployed by Operation Rescue.
Using Terry’s “Stop Sotomayor!” campaign as an inverse barometer to predict the success of Sotomayor’s confirmation to SCOTUS, it looks like clear skies and smooth sailing ahead.
Oblivion is too good for the prick.
Yeah, inside a jail cell, trading cigarettes for his
lifeasshole’s virginity is much more appropriate.fern hill – I think it’s even more hilarious that he’s infighting with Operation Rescue over the name — why anyone would even want it now is beyond me.
JAB – I know you’re joking but believe it or not, as much as I despise the guy, I would not wish him to get raped in prison, any more than I would wish a woman to get raped. If the other inmates want to beat him up, that’s okay with me though
In fact, they have my blessing.
The divisions within Operation Rescue, which has degenerated into three factions, are typical of any radical movement. They become so obsessed with ideological purity that they autocannibalize. You see the same things with anarchists, opponents of globalization, and communists.
and Republicans, you forget to mention.
Oh, great. Now Twatsy’s going to whine that you’re “encouraging violence” against fetus fetishists!
