Boehner's Staff Meets With Terrorists


They even have pictures:



That's right, it's anti-abortion extremist Randall Terry, meeting with John Boehner's chief of staff right after the election. He's fired up and ready to go:

When the Republicans are in power, pro-life groups and leaders become way too “polite.” We lose our edge; we don’t hold them accountable; we settle for trite phrases and broken promises as long as they will meet with us for 10 minutes, and we can take our picture with them, or they come to one of our meetings and receive some useless award.

I beg you to carefully consider my words; look at this situation with prophetic insight. Unless the Republicans do something concrete to save babies from murder, then they are collaborators with child killers, and we must treat them as such.

We have Pro-Life DEMANDS for Mr. Boehner & House GOP

We Must Play Hard Ball: They Must Fear Pro-Lifers!

It isn't the first time he's issued such a threat by any means. Just a year ago he said
this:

Background: It is clear that many elements in the pro-abortion congress and White House want to force Americans to pay for the murder of the unborn in their “healthcare” program. If that happens, it is tantamount to the government putting a gun to taxpayers’ heads to pay for the brutal murder of an innocent child. This is tyranny and evil of the highest order. . . .

“Nevertheless, the sheer horror and frustration of such an evil policy will lead some people to absolutely refuse to pay their taxes. And I believe — if my reading of history from America and around the world is correct — that there are others who will be tempted to acts of violence.

“If the government of this country tramples the faith and values of its citizens, history will hold those in power responsible for the violent convulsions that follow.” — Randall Terry

Bin Laden's anti-abortion. Maybe he should ask for a meeting with the Speaker's chief of staff too.

1. If only some of these right wing nut bags

parents had thought about an abortion, we might be in a better place today.

[vi5]

2. We really need to reach out to these people..

I mean the problem really is just that we haven't tried hard enough to find common ground with them.

[MadMaddie]

3. Are you being sarcastic?

Randall Terry was in the forefront of the Assasination of Dr. George Tiller. Terry's group is a Terrorist group.

Terry and extremist like him have no middle ground. They don't want to teach sex ed in schools, they don't want the promotion of condoms to prevent pregancies. Once a pregnancy happens they don't give a shit about the mother. They don't care if a woman is raped they want to force her to have the rapist baby.

The fact that Boehner's people have met with terrorist says all there needs to be said.

4. Yes.

I try and avoid using the sarcasm tag because I feel a large chunk of this place has gone beyond parody and satire and sarcasm so it's fascinating for me to watch it play out.

But yes, I agree. About Terry and about the Republicans in general. I'm sorry, I don't care how impolite it is to say so anyone who still thinks you can negotiate or reach out or find "bipartisanship" with any of these people is a moron.

[MadMaddie]

8. I agree!

At some point it's time to push them aside and get the work done.

7. Hey Maddie, there was an election and the majority of voters has spoken. I suggest you fit yourself

with a burka, 'cause no matter how rape happens, it's now the womans fault.

5. Welcome to the new reality...these people are considered moderates...

by Washington standards.

[thunder rising]

6. Being a WASP male and having voted a Dem ticket ... women are apparently getting what they want.

This is no surprise. Who am I to argue with the consequences of elections.

If Planned Parenthood thinks they can play the victim now and get money from me ... forget it.

However, it is interesting that even the wingiest of winger organizations get meetings with the Congressional leaders. Progressives don't get anything at all.

It's the greatest irony that when peoples' lives are in danger, Dems chose to teach the Dem candidates a lesson ... well good luck.
