I wonder if this pathetically evil fool's mental state was affected by listening to the propaganda spewed by mendacious, self-righteous exploiters of the unbalanced, like Bill O'Reilly.

THESE are the right wing extremists that the Obama administration has called a threat to this country. These are the people O'Reilly etc. claimed were being unfairly targeted by "liberals" when the right went into overdrive about the extremist label. These are the people who were courted by Reagan and then every Republican since. Those who court them are all responsible for this insanity. These people are not warriors or whatever else they think they are. They are very disturbed, mentally ill individuals whose particular form of illness takes the form of being a zealot for the cause that happened to enter their consciousness on X day. Had they had someone stick another flyer on their car it would be that issue. The anti-choice crowd are usually men or older women who really seem to be obsessed with other women's sex lives and have no interest in what they really claim to have an interest in. They are the antithesis of pro life. That is the real obscenity here.

The second posted comment by American jihadist Roeder quoted has been cleaned up from the bad spelling in the original which I culled from the Google chached page from Operation Rescue's website yesterday and posted over at the Daily Kos. As it originally appeared:

Scott Roeder Says:

Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp. Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.

If nothing else, this terrorist accomplished the last part he posted, he certainly brought more attention to Tiller.

Thanks, Lestatdelc, for calling him a terrorist.

This is, and continues to be, the un-prosecuted, Republican-supported terrorism against women in the United States.

These terrorists, and their supporters, and funders, need to be called out for what they are, and convicted of conspiracy in these terrorist acts.

There was a man named Scott (the last name is vague, but Roeder sounds familiar) who was making explicit anti-abortion videos in Minneapolis in the 1980's when I worked in community access TV there.

I will be very curious if it turns out to be the same guy. If so, he was pretty crazy back then, if he kept his obsession this many years it's not surprising he killed someone over it.

Afkansastan, home of right wing extremist terrorists

Exremism, especially violent, isn't born in a vacuum. Nor does it grow and flourish in a vacuum. It becomes part of a culture or sub-culture, that give it what it needs, especially perspective and language.
Roeder's ex-wife has described how he 'evolved' over a decade, from being an anti-tax/anti-government extremist, to becoming an Old Testament 'eye for an eye' believer, and then fixating on abortion. It's no coincidence that the terms that Roeder regularly used are the same ones you hear day after day from the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Randall Terry and other high-profile 'pro-life' voices (i.e., the conscience decision in the 1980's by pro-life groups to substitute the word 'baby' for 'fetus' as often as possible. Solely for its emotional impact value)..

And when these individuals and groups actually come together, the verbiage can become a frightening din. Witness Terri Schiavo. When, located in one place, for weeks, augmented by media pundits - Fox News/Sean Hannity literally set up shop there - and blogs, the 'Save Terri' groups became a chorus of hatred, slander, distorsions and outright lies, mainly directed towards Michael Schiavo. And when every Court ruled on the facts in favor of Michael, you had the spectacle of one of the most undemocratic examples of political pandering in recent history as the leadership of the Republican party orchestrated its 'war on the Judiciary' (remember those 'Justice Sunday', the 'activist judges' mantra, the threats of legislation stripping courts from being able to hear end of life cases...). And Bill Frist in his Senate office diagnosing Terri from an EDITED videotape. Talk about a rabid and dangerous (to our democracy) political-cultural coalition.

Not every supporter or advocate of these groups, and especially their language, will become a Roeder. But there's something perhaps even more dangerous to our democracy: the language of the pro-life extemists is so extreme, so much a part of anything they say about abortion, that in fact it renders nearly impossible any serious, rational discussion and possible solutions. Obama had it dead right in his Notre Dame speech.

The only way we'll ever come to some kind of resolution or acceptable compromise, is for both sides to step back from the hate-based, deliberately antagonistic, 'cultural warrior' language. And to stop being manipulated by those that engage in it from the heights of their religious and secular pulpits.

"("Sovereign citizens" claim to be unaccountable to the federal government, deriving certain rights under English common law. It's been a favored legal strategy of various violent right-wing extremists, including white supremacists.)"

I've been confroonting these law-illiterate pseudo-law-spewing loons for some 20 years. The "legal" theories they spew are unadultered nonsense -- in essence a criminal rationalization. Most of these individuals claim to be -- get ready -- "Libertarian".

The difficulty in dealing with them is multi-facted circularity:

1. They reject anything and everything which doesn't fit, and reinforce, their pre-existing beliefs. (It doesn't seem quite accurate to term them "beliefs," because one would think a belief would meet some minimum standard of coherence).

2. Reflecting the above, the reject education -- on the paranoid hypothesis that public schools are "gov't run," therefore impart "pro-gov't brainwashing".

3. They reject the views of those with an actual education in law because it doesn't fit and reinforce their nonsense. The question they can never answer -- without resorting to additional gibberish:

"In view of the fact that an actual lawyer has an education in law, and you do not, how then do you know more about law than an actual lawyer?"

They hate actual lawyers, of course, because actual lawyers hear them out, then correctly characterize their pseudo-law views as bullshit.

At the core they are, in part, suckers for the anti-tax loons. But if one posts those clauses of the Constitution -- or of their own state constitution -- which authorize taxation, they reject it out of hand as "socialist". That includes the very same clauses from the very first state constitutions framed and adopted by the actual Founders/Framers -- who they otherwise praise as "{Gods against the sky" who could do no wrong.

To say they are dirt-dumb is true -- but insults dirt.
