Before the suspect in the shooting was even caught, <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com\/the_daily_dish\/2009\/05\/a-far-right-assassination.html\">Andrew Sullivan<\/a> was already accusing the Right and Bill O&#8217;Reilly of complicity in the murder.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/sullivan-vs-common-sense.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/sullivan-vs-common-sense-277x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sullivan-vs-common-sense\" width=\"277\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/sullivan-vs-common-sense-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/sullivan-vs-common-sense.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSee the last line at the bottom of that screen capture? &#8220;Christianist terrorism is no more defensible than Islamist terrorism.&#8221; Who the hell said it wasn&#8217;t? <\/p>\n<p>See, I don&#8217;t wade into the abortion discussion often because of the irrational conversations that it spawns. Abortion is wrong, and you know what &#8211; everyone on the planet knows it&#8217;s wrong, regardless of their religious beliefs or the lack thereof. That&#8217;s why the pro-abortion side gets so irrational &#8211; they know there&#8217;s no real defense for killing unborn babies. But I also oppose the death penalty &#8211; I don&#8217;t believe in government sponsored killing and abortion has become government-sponsored killing.<\/p>\n<p>Because I oppose the death penalty, it follows that I don&#8217;t support the murder of abortionist Dr Tiller, either. He was engaged in a legal practice, no matter how much I don&#8217;t approve of what he was doing, it&#8217;s not up to me or anyone else to pass judgment on him and take the life he was given by his Creator (he was in a church when he was murdered after all).<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan calls it terrorism, which is a stretch to begin with, but to blame Bill O&#8217;Reilly (who also opposes the death penalty, I might add) and the Right is borderline insanity. I&#8217;ve never heard a rational Conservative that wanted anyone dead because of their legal occupation.<\/p>\n<p>Notice the Sullivan post was written before we even know who or why the murderer did what he or she (yes, at this point we don&#8217;t even know the sex of the accused) did. Yet, the same people who cautioned us about jumping to conclusions about the motivations of the 9-11 perpetrators are jumping to conclusions left and right. The same people who call rioters in Europe &#8220;Asian youths&#8221; have already decided why Tiller was killed and who is responsible &#8211; the folks who don&#8217;t agree with them. All because of the guilt they feel for supporting the unsupportable.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/tillers-killer-arrested.html\">Gateway Pundit<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/americanpowerblog.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/andrew-sullivan-christianists-killed.html\">American Power<\/a> for the links.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably already heard that an abortionist was murdered in his church this morning in Wichita, &hellip; <a title=\"Abortionist killed, suspect known but to Sullivan\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11106\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Abortionist killed, suspect known but to Sullivan<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11106\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
