Tiller was a prominent late-term abortionist, who had even been on trial for his procedures.....that is the reason that his murder received the amount of news coverage it did.

Am I missing something? I believe a murder based on hate is equally abhorrent, be the motivation pro-life or pro-heterosexual.

We must not only keep vigilant we must unite with all oppressed people and fight along them. It is the only way to gain and keep our own freedom.

Tiller was murdered in the lobby of the church where he served as an usher, his wife was in attending the service at the time and fortunatly was not witness to this.

Now, as a Tucsonan, I can speak that the VAST MAJORITY of Tucsonans are tolerant individuals. It is clear those individuals posting such vile, disgusting messages of hate are in the very slim minority, but I feel it is these individuals who pose the greatest threat to our safety. As Jim has correctly suggested, let us not squelch our voices but, goddamn, these people scare the living shit out of me!
