Abortion vs. cat ‘murders’

• Abortion providers stuck M-80s up cats’ butts when they were kids, therefore they’re the new Jeffrey Dahmers, which is worse than Hitler. Thus, violence against them is entirely justified! Here’s some targets for you to pursue…

Religious Slurs Used During Assault on Texas Muslim

WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on law enforcement authorities in Texas to investigate an alleged assault on a Muslim in that state as a hate crime.

The alleged victim, a 34-year-old white convert to Islam, reported to CAIR that two former co-workers came to his Gilmer, Texas, home after midnight on Saturday and punched, choked and kicked him without provocation. During the assault, the alleged attackers reportedly used religious slurs such as, “You Muslim piece of sh*t,” “Pray to Allah mother f**ker,” and “You are a traitor … We’re at war with these people.“ At one point during the alleged assault, the victim says he felt the barrel of a gun pressed to his head.

As the attackers left, they allegedly threatened to harm him again if he called the police. He was reportedly told by one assailant, “If I can’t get you, my people will.” The victim has since moved out of his home in response to this threat.

Sundown towns for Muslims. Joy. But that’s not the worst part of this.

The FBI and local police are investigating the incident, but local authorities have not labeled it a hate crime.

More (deliberate?) navel-gazing by the cops. That can’t end well.

And in other news, anti-abortion militancy is apparently on the rise:

I think JJ put it best:

A murderous anti-abortion freak last week, a neo-nazi killer this week — it’s as if every kind of deranged whackjob described in that much-maligned Homeland Security dossier on right-wing extremists are now being trotted out as examples. 52 flavours, try ‘em all.

But no, we’re not allowed to worry about right-wing terrorism.

Stalkin’ Malkin is in high dudgeon over the Great Orange Satan’s remarks on the shooting at the Holocaust Museum in D.C.

Inevitable: The blame game has already begun. Here’s Kos implicating the Tea Party movement.

Right. Like you wouldn’t have been exploiting this incident for all it’s worth had the shooter belonged to the wrong religion. Oh wait…

And while you’re at it, Michelle, it might behoove you to remind your commenters of that non-blame-gaming policy you allegedly subscribe to. They seemed to be even quicker out of the gate than you to blame all of Islam for the sins of one man before they even knew his identity.

Sidebar: And yes, I do find it interesting that the shooter was a Freeper who was also well-received by the stooges at Stormfront. I also find it highly amusing that LibrulFrei Republikkk is busily scrubbing their site of any of von Brunn’s verbal diarrhea only now that his membership has come to light.

But no, we’re not allowed to worry about a pattern of right-wing terrorism, are we?

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS: Did I mention yet that Mr. von Brunn was a Birth Certificate Truther™?

Ed’s piece on the Tiller family giving in to the terrorists is a must read.

That didn’t take long…

The Wichita abortion clinic run by a doctor who was shot and killed will remain closed permanently, his family said on Tuesday.

Dr. George R. Tiller’s clinic was one of the few in the country to provide abortions to women late in their pregnancies, and for decades, women had traveled there from all over the nation and from overseas. It was also the only remaining abortion clinic, even for first trimester abortions, in the Wichita region.

[…]

Abortion rights advocates said they believed the nearest abortion provider to Wichita may now be about three hours away, near Kansas City.

Late-term abortionist Carhart wants to continue Tiller’s “mission”

• Okay, fellow fetus fetishists, since the evil, Satanic, Baby-Jesus-and-America-hating sappers of Our Pure Essence™ are already labeling us as terrorists, let’s go ahead and prove them right! With that in mind, here are your next two targets…

So, who wants to lay odds that the Feds will be too busy navel-gazing to catch this naked threat?

You really ought to check out this post by Auguste. It puts the whole issue of commitment to a political cause into perspective. In fact, I would recommend bookmarking it, if for no other reason than so that we can keep our perspective even when we endure frequent abuse and harassment simply because of what we believe. This is because keeping our perspective is what has kept us from meeting violence with violence, hate with hate.

And ultimately, that, more than anything else, allows us the moral high ground, and ensures ultimate victory. Or as the quote often (mis)attributed to Ghandi reads:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Only 24 hours after the anti-abortion terrorism statistics had to be updated yet again, Jacob Sullum reveals that he doesn’t think that killing an abortion provider is murder.

Bastard.

At least where torture is concerned:

So, will Darth Cheney accuse Mancow of libel slander*? Time will tell…
