Combine religious fanaticism with a political agenda and explosives,
and what do you get?

Some might call it terrorism - but the corporate media was noticeably
shy about referring to Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph as a terrorist
last week, despite the fact that he meets all the criteria.

(But I forgot. These days you can't be a terrorist unless you have
brown skin and a towel on your head, right?)

So while conservative pundits have been ranting about the dangerous
and frightening epidemic of, um, pie-throwing, the man who killed
innocent people during a wave of family planning clinic bombings
released a statement last week which contained whole sections
apparently lifted straight from the Republican party platform.

In fact, the statement is most remarkable for how smoothly Rudolph
segues between the language of conservative leaders and the language
of Osama bin Laden:


"Abortion is murder. And when the regime in Washington legalized,
sanctioned and legitimized this practice, they forfeited their
legitimacy and moral authority to govern. ... Because I believe that
abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified and in an
attempt to stop it. Because this government is committed to the policy
of maintaining the policy of abortion and protecting it, the agents of
this government are the agents of mass murder, whether knowingly or
unknowingly. And whether these agents of the government are armed or
otherwise they are legitimate targets in the war to end this
holocaust, especially those agents who carry arms in defense of this
regime and the enforcement of its laws. This is the reason and the
only reason for the targeting of so-called law enforcement personnel."


I guess their "time will come," eh?

Rudolph goes on to rail against George W. Bush, calling him a "coward"
for not doing enough to overturn Roe vs. Wade (gee, wasn't the ingrate
satisfied with his tax cut?) and then marches further into la-la land
with a quick rant about gays:


"Along with abortion, another assault upon the integrity of American
society is the concerted effort to legitimize the practice of
homosexuality. Homosexuality is an aberrant sexual behavior, and as
such I have complete sympathy and understanding for those who are
suffering from this condition. Practiced by consenting adults within
the confines of their own private lives, homosexuality is not a threat
to society. Those, consenting adults practicing this behavior in
privacy should not be hassled by a society which respects the sanctity
of private sexual life. But when the attempt is made to drag this
practice out of the closet and into the public square in an "in your
face" attempt to force society to accept and recognize this behavior
as being just as legitimate and normal as the natural man/woman
relationship, every effort should be made, including force if
necessary, to halt this effort. This effort is commonly known as the
homosexual agenda. Whether it is gay marriage, homosexual adoption,
hate crimes laws including gays, or the attempt to introduce a
homosexual normalizing curriculum into our schools, all of these
efforts should be ruthlessly opposed."


Man, he should get a job at the Alliance Defense Fund.

So let's see: anti-abortion, anti-gay, likes the idea of killing
innocent people, thinks that George W. Bush is a liberal *****... yup,
sounds just like one of Osama's crew.

Or a Freeper.

Take your pick.
