    Perhaps it was torn asunder by a tyrannical metal machine with a penchant for cool lines and the ability to assume new forms. :D

    You haven't answered the question: where was the idea put forward "that such acts define all pro-lifers or all right wingers." (My emphasis.)

    If people are not going to put pro-life groups into the same boat as skin heads and nazis then I have no quarrel.

    Both statements are true no? It is domestic terrorism; and he does have ties to right-wing extremist groups.

    Perhaps they are. Though it would be far more accurate to just say he was a murderer and was motivated by a pro-life agenda.

    If it is to be termed terrorism then the term is going to be applicable to many other situations as well. If he does have ties to pro life organisations then name the groups rather than using the pejorative.

    I had in mind things like self-defense, maybe combat situations...

    Oh, right. That too... :)

    Sorry .. he.

    <quote>Sorry Grant, your argument is absurd and inconsistent and while it might make sense to you, it doesn't to anyone else.<quote>

    Perhaps you just need to be a little more tolerant and appreciate a bit of diversity :)

    Where was that idea put forward?

    In the blog:

    The murder of Dr George Tiller in Kansas yesterday can only be regarded as American domestic terrorism.... The suspect arrested has ties to right-wing extremist groups.

    As a series of people have pointed out to you Grant, you are the only one who has raised such an argument.

    I object to the association you draw between terrorism and pro life groups who have condemned Tiller's murderer. If you're willing to concede that the actions of one man in no way reflect upon the integrity of pro life groups then I have no quarrel.

    It you don't desist from the ridiculous, bad-faith line or argument, I will ban you as a troll.

    Aw, why would you do that? The good people of a well renowned charity will be missing out on so much.

    You cannot seriously be putting skinheads and nazis in the same boat as pro life groups, can you?

    You don't really mean in any context, surely?

    She couldn't. Otherwise she would be anti abortion.
