Attention, Feeble-Minded Leftybloggers
By Mitch Berg
Have you ever wondered what it felt like getting your skin peeled off you body in one long painful strip – rhetorically speaking?
Just try and pin yesterday morning’s tragic, stupid murder of an abortion doctor on all of conservatism using your usual, predictable, deeply-stupid, slack-jawed, straight-from-Media-Matters talking points.
Again – speaking rhetorically.
Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.
I join with every credible conservative in condemning this sort of violence. The anti-infanticide movement is winning this fight without the need for violence; indeed, these stupid, violent atrocities benefit the pro-infanticide crowd; as long as they can keep the people and the media focused on their own victimhood, then the focus is off the real victims, America’s “tissue masses”.
So think carefully, lefties.
Long, thin strips.
Again – speaking purely rhetorically.

So if as you say, abortion is not the arbitrary murder of an innocent citizen, then how can it be infanticide?
In terms of my personal beliefs? Late term abortion is murder.
Legally? Troy is right; it is not a “perfectly accurate” description, as far as the law is concerned.
I believe the law is wrong, and I work against it.
Clown:
I love cognitive dissonance; indeed, it is the bulk of my life.
Facile, juvenile “Gotcha” arguments bore me.

Rick,
If late term abortion terminates a “fetus” that is perfectly viable outside the womb – is, indeed, in its third trimester and partially born – then how is it *not* infanticide?

The bulk of mangy clown’s life.

“If the doctor was a murderer, as you far-right kooks are constantly shrieking, then the shooting was morally justified. Why not congratulate the Right to Life killer for saving countless babies?”
Fine; I will, and I do.
I have no problem with this one. I’m staunchly against the death penalty, but believe that one has every right to use lethal force in the defense of self and others confronted with the threat of immanent grievous bodily harm or death.
For once, the Clown’s got a point. This guy did what he felt he had to do in the defense of helpless children; he has, in fact, saved countless lives and is evidently willing to take the consequences of his actions. He’s got more cohones than AssClown and AC Jr. gargle in a month…Two big thumbs up!

John Brown was so appalled by slavery that he murdered slave owners (Pottawatomie Massacre) and tried to incite rebellion against the lawfully elected government of the State of Virginia. Were all abolitionists morally bound to support John Brown’s actions?
Does it make any difference that Brown felt he was driven to his fanatical take on slavery by his religious beliefs?

Two wrongs don’t make a right.
But three lefts do.

Shiftee admitted: “I’m staunchly against the death penalty”
Jesus, you might as well put on a dress and ride a bicycle, you big leftist fag.

The death penalty is a dangerous hobby.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:51 pm
“The death penalty is a dangerous hobby”
Scott Roeder is going to find out exactly how dangerous it is.

Nevermind Swiftee, Angry Clown — it turns out that Obama is a neocon!11!!!!
In his first interview with a British broadcaster, US President Barack Obama has told the BBC that the US cannot impose its values on other countries.
But he insisted that “democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion” were “universal values”.

So a whole blog full of “credible conservative” thinkers and not one can condemn the open embrace of murder by one of their own.

Projecting again, RatioRick? Which part of “I join with every credible conservative in condemning this sort of violence. ” did you NOT understand? This is a rhetorical question, of course.

Because your premise is tendentious, which is a polite way of saying stop being a fucking retard.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
justplainstupid asked: “Which part of “I join with every credible conservative in condemning this sort of violence. ” did you NOT understand?”
The part where you kooks bray about how “life begins at birth!” and “abortion is murder!” Cause it turns out only the true spittle-flecked psychos like Shiftee actually mean it.

Shiftee said: “immanent”
“Imminent,” you uneducated hillbilly wingnut.

Not only do I think your whole argument is stupid, but I think you are more than a little confused about who “brays” what, angryclown.

So, a difference of opinion cannot stand in your simple little world, RickDFL? Or perhaps you cannot read one persons opinion here without some guidance from everyone else?
Someday, when you grow up, you will discover that adults can have different opinions, even on subjects they are passionate about, without constantly condemning each other. I look forward to the day.

JPA:
“Which part of . . . ”
Arafat was big on vague general denunciations or violence too. I am more interested in how none of you has anything negative to do or say about the specific guy who gave “two big thumbs up” to a terrorist killing. I will take the generic condemnation more seriously if you actually act on it in this specific case.
Mitch
“Because your premise is tendentious” What is tendentious. Your blog now includes a comment advocating terrorism and you have said and done nothing about it. Swiftee says advocates for a terrorist saying “he has, in fact, saved countless lives”.
Now that I think about it maybe the Feds need to crank up those enhanced interrogation techniques and get to the bottom of this.
Troy:
“a difference of opinion cannot stand in your simple little world”.
Not about a terrorist who advocates killing people I know and respect.

But no one cares what you think, RickDFL!

Pffft! You’re not serious about it unless you’re willing to act like a terrorist over the whole thing. Hehe.

“A convert to Islam accused of having “political and religious motives” in a deadly Arkansas military center shooting pleaded not guilty to capital murder Tuesday and was ordered held without bond. One soldier died and another was wounded in what police say was a targeted attack by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, on U.S. forces.”
Still no condemnation from Dick_tickle.
June 2nd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
“Rick”,
Yes, tendentious – which is polite for “manipulative, disingenuous, and not a little stupid”. You wrote “So a whole blog full of “credible conservative” thinkers and not one can condemn the open embrace of murder by one of their own”.
And yet I wrote in the post above: “I join with every credible conservative in condemning this sort of violence.”. After which YOU maintained that murder WAS the morally correct action for a conservative to take on abortion, which I’m going to hope was just you trying (and failing) to play rhetorical games, rather than the projection that so many of you indulge in.
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
MON:
Lock him up a throw away the key.
Mitch:
“YOU maintained that murder WAS the morally correct action” I did not say that. I think routinely and emphatically calling abortion ‘murder’ or ‘infanticide’ would lead people to think that.
This quote “I join with every credible conservative in condemning this sort of violence” comes long before Swiftee’s comment. It is meaningless unless you apply it to Swiftee’s specific comment advocating terrorism. Instead, you all ostentatiously pretend not to notice. That speaks louder than any of your pro-forma comments.
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
RickDFL paraphrased:
“You mean exactly what I say you mean unless you do this thing I want you to do”
The only response you deserve on that point is a very rude one, RickDFL.
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Anyone else notice the lack of a condemnation in comment form from RickDFL over at the this post:
http://www.shotinthedark.info/wp/?p=4867
If he took his own credibility seriously he’d have written a penigma-length screed against this Mr. Cimballo. Right now, without that comment in place, it’s as if he coauthored the article with Mr. Cimballo, don’t you think? *snicker*
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Troy:
Mr. Cimballo is a misogynistic jerk.
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
“Lock him up a throw away the key.”
No, not condemnation for him, but for all of the leftist retards who spouted crap about illegal war and illegal occupation, who incited this guy to take his murderous path. John Murtha and Code Pink have the blood of US soldiers on their hands.
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm
“for all of the leftist retards who spouted crap about illegal war and illegal occupation”
Like who? And since when is accusing someone of doing something illegal an incitement to murder. If I yell at you to drive the speed limit am I inciting your murder?
“who incited this guy to take his murderous path.” Did he work for John Murtha? Was he a member of Code Pink? I don’t know who incited him. I do know that the man who killed Tiller was deeply connected to Operation Rescue.
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
RickDFL said:
“That is why pro-choice people like me think using a term like ‘infanticide’ to describe abortion is an incitement to violence.”
Since when is using a term like ‘infacticide’ an incitement to violence? *snicker*
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:42 pm
“using a term like ‘infanticide’ to describe abortion is an incitement to violence.”
So you believe speech should be tailored to avoid inflaming the least stable people in society, at the expense of accuracy?
Because there is no term for late-term abortion more accurate than “infanticide”.
June 2nd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I don’t know if RickDFL believes much of anything he writes here, but he does play a mean game of “Stupid Cop, Retarded Cop” with angryclown.
June 2nd, 2009 at 9:53 pm
I do know that the man who killed Tiller was deeply connected to Operation Rescue.
Whenever RickDFL says something like this — hints darkly, but puts no facts on the line — he’s trying to gain points by stretching the truth.
In this case ‘deeply connected’ means that Roeder had a page on the operation rescue web site.
Troy Newman (Operation Rescue spokesman) has released this statement:
Try bringing a little honesty to the debate next time, RickDFL.

The wingnut ethic is to value all human life from the moment of conception until death by lethal injection.
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:43 am
Mitch:

Why not just late-term abortion. By always, and especially in a post about Dr. Tiller’s terrorist killing, calling it infanticide, you encourage violence.
And one again nothing is said or done about the comment “two thumbs up” for domestic terrorism.
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 am
RickDFL wondered: “Why not just late-term abortion.”
These guys aren’t used to using standard English to express ideas, Rick. If it ain’t scary, it’s not in the wingnut dictionary. Infanticide! Weapons of Mass Destruction! Terrah!!!!!!
If you’re not scared, chances are you’re not voting Republican.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:58 am
Along with referring to infanticide as ‘late term abortion’, perhaps we should begin to call ‘murder’ ‘post-natal abortion’. Wouldn’t want to incite anyone.
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 am
Swiftee’s specific comment advocating terrorism? What specifically is DippyDFL referring?
And the winner of the stupidest comment of the thread award goes to:
*drumbroll*
dickheadDFL for actually typing:
“calling it infanticide, you encourage violence.”
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:14 am
Swiftee said: “This guy did what he felt he had to do in the defense of helpless children; he has, in fact, saved countless lives and is evidently willing to take the consequences of his actions.”
And: “…Two big thumbs up!”
Slam and dunk, dumbass. Try to know what you’re talking about before you insult your betters.
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:38 am
Generally speaking, most people give a thumbs up to those that are “willing to take the consequences of his actions.”
Liberals tend to give a thumbs up when someone blames their actions on others… like Pelosi blaming the CIA or Hillary blaming the vast-right-wing-conspiracy… AC Jr blaming his sphincter polishing abilities on AssClown…
