Start Saying it.
the late Dr. Tillman.
Why is it that when Friends of the Earth blows up a parking lot full of Hummers, we call it terrorism, and when a man plants a bomb at the Olympics, we call it terrorism, and when Bill Ayres plants a bomb in the 60s, everyone calls it terrorism, and when the IRA or any other losely affiliated group, motivated to change things outside the regular peaceful lawful political process bomb, or kill or shoot people we call it terrorism, but when pro-life activists like members of god's army or the like bomb or shoot or release tapes or videos or make websites, or appear on TV or radio encouraging people to bomb or shoot people WE CALL THEM PROTESTERS?
Sorry for the run-on sentence. We need to start using the proper words. Beyond the legal distinction between protester and terrorist, there is the public perception. Every time I turn on NPR and hear these terrorists referred to as protesters, I can feel the softening of the public rage towards a group that murders a dwindling number of doctors for providing as service that is legal in this country, and in many cases saves the life of the mother.
Start saying it. The terrorist who killed Dr. Tillman. Say it to your friends, say it on the air. They are terrorists, and those who egg them on, encourage terrorism. Plain and simple. If you can find a difference between someone who bombs an abortion clinic and one who bombs a government building, let me know.
