Wingnut of the Day: Randall Terry

Randall Terry wishes eternal damnation on the progressive bloggers that (rightfully) accused him of being a hatemonger and anti-woman. Terry has always been strange. I didn't think it was possible for Terry to be more insane. I was wrong.

Wingnut Alert: Randall Terry

Christian conservative Randall Terry's latest press release uses the imagery of the lynchings the Klu Klux Klan did to blacks last century in America. Terry writes he plans to "burn, hang, or beat Lindsey Graham in effigy for his recent vote for Elena Kagan."

"If a man brings the enemy into your camp, he is helping the enemy; when he helps the enemy, he has become the enemy, and must be treated as such. Mr. Graham has betrayed God and innocent babies; we must treat him as a fraud and a traitor from this moment forth.

"On a lighter note, since Mr. Graham uses babies as pawns in his game of politics, we will play some 'games' in front of his offices, such as 'pin the flip-flop' on the donkey, and beating a Graham pinata. We promise - it will be a lot of fun."

Terry is the founder of Operation Rescue; an organization that places personal information about abortion providers on the internet. Dr. George Tiller's murderer Scott Roeder was in contact with Operation Rescue's Cheryl Sullenger. Terry's defense of his former organization's contact with Roeder is sickening.

I grieve for him that he did not have an opportunity to properly prepare his soul to face his Maker. Unless some miracle happened, he left this life with his hands drenched with the innocent blood of tens of thousands of babies that he murdered. Surely there will be a dreadful accounting for what he has done.

It now falls to pro-life leaders like myself to stand strong and unflinching in the face of the unjust criticism we will now endure because of his killing. And so I turn my attention to the attacks that will follow his death.

Sullenger constantly notified Roeder of Tiller's movements. Terry couldn't say anything nice about Tiller after he died and glossed over Roeder having help from anti-abortionists whom call themselves Christian. Terry's words about "burn, hang, or beat" Sen. Graham should be taken seriously.

Randall Terry Is Still Vile

Randall Terry is the founder of Operation Rescue. The anti-abortion group had links to Scott Roeder. The organization's web site gives information on abortion providers. Accused murderer Scott Roeder was in contact with Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue. The latter gave information to Roeder about Dr. George Tiller's daily whereabouts. Sullenger served two years in prison for attempting to blow up the Alavarado Medical Center abortion clinic.

Terry is holding a Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid "Burn in Hell" video contest on the internet.

"If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid force us to pay for child killing and they die unrepentant, they will burn in hell for this," Terry said in a telephone interview.

A few facts: Harry Reid is anti-abortion. Reid's position is abortions "should be legal only when the pregnancy resulted from incest, rape, or when the life of the woman is endangered." Apparently, Terry has no problem risking a woman's life to further his extremist views. Another fact is the Hyde Amendment bars federal funds for being used for abortions. Terry is factually incorrect. Facts don't matter to Terry. This is a man that attempted to deliver President Bill Clinton a dead fetus.

Terry is trying to stir up others to commit violence. It doesn't matter that Scott Roeder was linked to Terry's former organization.

"The man, as far as anybody knows acted on his own," Terry told the media. We know Roeder was aided by Sullenger. She admitted she gave Roeder Tiller's daily whereabouts. Terry is simply lying. Terry goes on to call Tiller a "mass murderer" and "reaped what he sowed" and was a "evil man."



There is no compassion in Terry's Christianity. In a different era, Terry would have supported Canon law allowing the stoning of women and blacks sold as property. In early America, that was considered perfectly Christian. Terry is a hateful man. Tiller was murdered a member of the anti-abortionist movement. Terry uses Tiller's death to attack a man whom can no longer speak for himself. It is just as cowardly as Terry's latest efforts to get others to do his violent bidding.

Randy Terry Kicked Out of Townhall Meeting

Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry was kicked out of Representative Jim Moran and Howard Dean. Moran gave Terry the chance to have a civil discussion. Terry declined.

Citizen journalists at the event reported that Congressman Moran incited the crowd further when he suggested there were some people in attendance who don't live in his district and had come only to disrupt the meeting. As Salon reports, Moran first singled out the instigator, demanding that Randall leave the town hall, "but then reconsidered, offering him the chance to ask the first question as long as he ended his protest and kept the question short enough that other people would still have their chance."

Terry declined. Instead he was escorted from the building as he continued to accuse Dean of murdering babies.

Terry and followers chanted "You Are A Baby Killer" and "We Won't Pay For Murder." House Republicans and Democrats have gone to pains to omit abortion from HR 3200. In the video, Terry tells a reporter the health care reform bill will fund abortion. Not true. From a pro-choice policy standpoint: I wish abortion was in HR 3200.

Listen to the crowd chant "Kick Them Out" to Terry's party. Terry manages to alienate liberals and conservatives. TErry will never understand being shrill will not help him win.

Hey, Hey, My My Randall Terry Goodbye

The days when anti-abortionist Randall Terry could get massive media attention are over.

By the time Randall Terry situated himself on 95th Street in Overland Park the Wednesday morning rush hour had rushed by.

It’s unlikely any drivers recognized who was standing by the banner denouncing Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Terry now lives in Washington, D.C. These days, articles refer to him as “founder” of Operation Rescue, but little else. That smarts for the man once the most recognizable in the anti-abortion movement.

Terry gives proof to the Neil Young lyric that "it's better to burnout than fade away."

Randall Terry Returns

Randall Terry is a long ago disgraced clown for the anti-choice movement. Terry founded Operation Rescue and his infamous for attempting to deliver a dead fetus to former President Bill Clinton.

Terry is hardly a humble servant of the Lord. Investigative reporter John Sugg wrote about Terry actively soliciting donations and used the money to buy a $432,000 home in Jacksonville, Florida. Operation Rescue forced Terry to steeped down. The Florida Elections Commission fined Terry $1,000 for failing to comply to two admissions request.

Two of Terry's adoptive daughters became pregnant out of wedlock. Another adoptive son Jamiel announced he was gay. Terry disowned his son and made the baseless claim Jamiel's Out Magazine piece was ghost written.

For the uninformed, Out magazine specializes in bringing homosexuals "out of the closet." Out is committed to the homosexual agenda – homosexual marriage, special "civil rights" for homosexuals, promoting the fallacy that their sexual activities are normal and even laudable. Their agenda is shameless. My son was offered $5,000 to "write" a story about me and his life with me and my family. However, much of the story was written by Out's editor who put words in my son's mouth to accomplish the magazine's agenda.

Terry's latest madness is attacking the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. Think Progress reports Terry is going on a 12 city tour. The photoshopped image of Sotomayor is from Terry's flyer.

To refuse to filibuster is to bow in abject obedience to the Angel of Death.

The current minority status of Republicans makes a filibuster close to impossible. That won't stop Terry from going on his media tour.

Anti-Abortionists Rewriting Their History

Amanda Marcotte has a Reality Check podcast on the murder of abortion provider George Tiller. I highly recommend you listen to the podcast.

There are a few things Marcotte discussed that I want to touch upon. Bill O'Reilly uses inflammatory speech to boost ratings. O'Reilly said Tiller was running "a death mill" and labeled him "Tiller the baby killer." Watch the video and judge for yourself if O'Reilly is attempting journalism or throwing red meat to his audience.



O'Reilly made this statement on his November 3, 2006 Talking Points Memo.

"In the state of Kansas, there is a doctor, George Tiller, who will execute babies for $5,000 if the mother is depressed. And there are rapists impregnating 10-year-olds who are being protected by abortion clinics. It doesn't get worse than that. This is the absolute shame of America."

The old show bisiness saying is "give the audience what they want." The Fox News audience does not want investigative reporting and wonky analysis of policy. They want profession wrestling-style screaming matches and words that make their blood boil. O'Reilly did 29 segments on Tiller. O'Reilly can present himself as the pro wrestling-style hero battling his evil opponent.

"No question Dr. Tiller has blood on his hands. But now so does Governor Sebelius. She is not fit to serve. Nor is any Kansas politician who supports Tiller's business of destruction. I wouldn't want to be these people if there is a Judgment Day. I just -- you know ... Kansas is a great state, but this is a disgrace upon everyone who lives in Kansas. Is it not?"

If that isn't inflammatory language than I don't know what is? O'Reiily has the right to free speech. That freedom has consequences. O'Reilly responded to Tiller's death by attacking Daily Kos, the Kansas City Star and Mary Mapes. O'Reilly desperately wants to turn attention away from his comments. His ratings will tank if viewers believe he has (to quote O"Reilly) blood on his hands.

It took just minutes after the report of Tiller's murder for the far-left loons to hit the websites. Postings on the Daily Kos and The Huffington Post immediately blamed me and Fox News for inciting Tiller's killer. Even though I reported on the doctor honestly, the loons asserted that my analysis of him was "hateful."

Chief of among the complaints was the doctor's nickname, "Tiller the baby killer." Some pro-lifers branded him with that, and I reported it. So did hundreds of other news sources. But the bigger picture here is the glorification of Tiller.

Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry and three other members of the organization were arrested for attempting to deliver a fetus to (then Governor) Bill Clinton. Operation Rescue employee Cheryl Sullenger went to prison for attempting to blow up an abortion clinic. Rachel Maddow reported on Sullenger notifying Scott Roeder of Tiller's movements. Andrew Sullivan reported, that Roeder commented on going inside Tiller's church, on the Operation Rescue message board.

Terry wrote an op-ed titled "We Didn't Kill George Tiller."

Abortionist George Tiller is dead.

I grieve for him that he did not have an opportunity to properly prepare his soul to face his Maker. Unless some miracle happened, he left this life with his hands drenched with the innocent blood of tens of thousands of babies that he murdered. Surely there will be a dreadful accounting for what he has done.

It now falls to pro-life leaders like myself to stand strong and unflinching in the face of the unjust criticism we will now endure because of his killing. And so I turn my attention to the attacks that will follow his death.

Much like O'Reilly's op-ed, Terry seeks to turn attention away from the anti-choice movement's history of harrassment and assassination attempt against Tiller. O'Reilly and Terry portraying themselves as victims is sickening. Tiller is dead and they aren't brave enough to stand by their past deeds.

O'Reilly and Terry are tough culture warriors but pleed for sympathy when public opinion is turning against them. O'Reilly and Terry continue to attack the dead Tiller's role as a abortion provider. Yet they refuse to acknowledge alleged killer Roeder's connection with Operation Rescue. Anti-abortionists are engaging in revisionist history. Their real history is too shameful for them to keep on the public record.
