Rightwing group Operation Rescue distance themselves from Randall Terry
Rightwing domestic terrorist Scott Roeder, who is behind bars in Sedgwick County, for the alleged murder of Dr. George Tiller, will be charged with one count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Before the murder of Dr. Tiller, Roeder posted comments on Operation Rescue’s web site about the doctor. Now this so-called organization is under scrutiny by the media and hopefully law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security.
Operation Rescue is in full damage control. They are trying to distance themselves from rightwing radical extremist Randall Terry. But the damage has already been done.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, released this statement:
Scott Roeder has never been a member, contributor, or volunteer with Operation Rescue. Mr. Roeder may have posted to our open blog web site, as have thousands of members of the public, including those with pro-abortion views, but he is not affiliated with this organization.
We deplore the criminal actions with which Mr. Roeder is accused.
The pro-life ethic is to value all human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Operation Rescue has diligently and successfully worked for years through peaceful, legal means, and through the proper channels to see to it that abortionists around the nation are brought to justice. Without due process, there can be no justice.
In spite of these horrific events, we remain dedicated to working through all peaceful and legal means available to bring an end to the killing of innocent children through abortion.
Newman added that Randall Terry was not associated with nor is he authorized to speak for Operation Rescue. According to Newman, Terry left Operation Rescue in 1991. We guess Terry didn’t get the memo.

Hal Turner, a frequent threatener of George Tiller who planned to celebrate Tiller's murder with a radio show on what his killer did wrong -- meaning, getting caught -- has been jailed in New Jersey.
He was arrested on a Connecticut warrant for blogging that three state officials should be killed over legislation and an ethics investigation Turner doesn't approve of.
Turner, of course, if infamously friends with Sean Hannity.
I've gathered some details and links at the Camp:
