      OK, Bill, you win. The man you called a "baby killer" over and over and over again on your show has been murdered by a man who shares your view on abortion. You win.

      And to some (ok, most) right wing xtians, homosexuality is a mortal sin and an abomination in Gods eye while the 10 commandments are minor transgressions that can be forgiven with 10 "hail mary"'s and an "our father".

      Once again, MMFA edits the report, if you care to watch it all, here is the link...http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/ ...

      And wouldn't it be good to know what Dr Paul McHugh of John Hopkins thinks, he was the first independent person to review Tillers records....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mviFMpy_sBU

      These fall into the category of things you will never learn from MMFA or any other left wing organization.

              Perhaps you didn't know that they are also MDs, but I am not surprised. And John Hopkins is such a second rate joint, why should we listen to him right? And since many of the babies that Tiller killed where done for reasons other than the health of the mother, McHugh was MORE qualified to assess them.

                Tiller didn't "kill" any babies. Stop it. You like look an idiot.

                  Lets see some evidence of what you say, I have linked to the report of the only MD to review Tiller's records, there is ample proof there. You show nothing but your opinion.

                    Please provide proof that he killed a baby. As usual you show nothing but your terrorist teabagging opinion.

                    There is NOT ample proof there.

                    As people keep telling you, Kansas law stated that 2 doctors had to concur before they could do the procedure.

                    Also, he was cleared of all wrong doing in a court of law.

                    That's my proof. The law. And the results of his court case.

                    What you're providing is NOT proof, but the opinion of a doctor, who is a psychiatrist.

                        Why should anyone listen to your opinion, you are the person who said the killing of the soldier was just "the everyday killing of average soldiers at a recruiting location".

                        Now you classify an respected Doctor from John Hopkins University Hospital, a department head at that, 25 years at the hospital as "Some random guy"

                        Talk about brainwashed.

                          The killing of the soldier was that. It wasn't the same big news as the killing of one of only 3 late term abortion doctors in the USA. Not every murder in the USA gets the same coverage. For you and FoxNews to ignore that reality is ample evidence of your bias here. It's not my fault that reality has a liberal bias.

                          The retired doctor who previously had an administrative role at a hospital and who didn't interview a single woman is a random guy. They could have chosen any one of likely tens of thousands of psychiatrists across the nation, most of whom would have more recent and relevant clinical practice than this guy.

                          Top that off with the fact that any reputable psychiatrist won't try to make a diagnosis or a conclusion like he did simply by reading the notes of another doctor, and you are, again, 0 for infinity.

                          The killing of a soldier should get coverage. It did. But since it's not anywhere close to the unique murder that Dr Tiller's murder was, it isn't going to get the same amount of coverage.

                            No of course in your world the killing of a US soldier by a Muslim terrorist is not big news, but the killing of a doctor who sucks the brains from viable fetuses is vitally important. Great values.

                              Second verse, same as the first.

                              It's not my opinion that the random killing of soldiers is not big news. It's fact. The more unique and horrific the murder, the more news coverage it gets.

                              It's not evidence of my values. It's evidence of reality, something you apparently have little familarity with.

                        Yes, continue to grab onto the accidental misspeak that Dr Tiller's colleague said in a deposition, despite the fact that a court of law and a jury of your peers found no wrongdoing.

                          The disrespect is because even though the Consitiution is upheld, because THEIR point of view was not the winner in the argument, the judges are "activist", as opposed to judges and justices who rule with their POV.

                          Never mind the rabble, Luvlulu, because their bias is too ingrained, and they are also of the same ilk as the man who would be so hypocritical as to murder to stop a "murder." ...forgetting, of course, the fact that abortion is still L-E-G-A-L in the U.S.A. This is America, people. you don't like the law, elect someone who'll change it...

                          Because Sebelius's new DA dropped all of the felony charges and only charged the misdemeanors. Then the DA did not even have the state expert testify, the only witness the state called was a colleague of Tillers , the very doctor that was profiting with Tiller from the late term abortions. Sebelius was a friend and ally of Tillers, and Tiller donated to her repeatedly. The fix was in.

                          i asked a simple question. you should take your time and read more slowly. i work in health care and know firshand that dr.s sometimes, way more than sometimes get sued on something they did right and not on some of the really bad mistakes. i truly hope that all the late term abortions were as correct as possible. the dr. was murdered and i can't stand the wackos who thought it was right to do so.
                          seeing the number of comments of this, abortion gets more attention than almost all the others combined.

                            When you're sued, that's individual and civil action. That's entirely up to the judgment and character of the person who claims damages. When you're prosecuted, that's state and legal action. Prosecutors can pick through everything you've done and decide what charges should be brought against you. That is much more objective and more likely to include the most actionable cases than any collection of malpractice lawsuits.

                    Can you read? Reviewing the records made by another doctor is insufficient to make judgements about the danger to the mental health of Dr Tiller's patients! Only a doctor that interviewed the patients could make that determination.

                    I was not saying that the doctor was inept.

                    Now, you, you are inept.

                  Two can play at that game, Iggy. You can't be taken seriously because you post nothing serious.

                  That's different from getting the name Johns Hopkins wrong when you're trying to use it as an illogical bludgeon to confer respect to a psychiatrist who has no ethical business trying to second guess via incomplete notes a doctor whose work he has never seen.

                I sure do stand by my previous statement. We have treasured people killed in the USA every day. Not every murder gets nationwide attention. Most don't. Only really horrific, or really unique killings get a ton of attention.

                Murders like Dr Tiller get a ton of attention. Shooting someone in a church gets attention. Shooting someone who is getting ready to usher at that church gets attention. Shooting someone who ran one of only 3 late-term abortion clinics in the USA is unique. Shooting someone who just was acquitted about a month earlier of charges related to that abortion clinic is attention-getting. Shooting someone who has been attacked many times before is attention-getting. Abortion and abortion protesting is a huge deal in the USA.

                It was a big story.

                Let's look at the other story. A man angry with the US Military went to a recruiting center and shot two people, killing one. They were two random soldiers, so they were not attacked for the individuals they were, unlike the shooting of Dr Tiller, who was clearly attacked for the person he was. They were attacked because they were in the military. We don't have massive problems throughout our nation with people attacking military personnel and protesting outside recruiting centers for the past 4 decades. They just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Compare that to the planned murder of a specific man, followed him to his church by a man who has been known to be an abortion clinic vandal in the past, and who has served two terms in jail for his violent ways!

                They are not on the same level of interest. What a dishonest and disgusting twerp you are.

                    Why does the reality of what killings get covered by our national news media surprise you? Have you not watched the news and seen this before, that unique murders get attention, and less unique murders get less attention, that more horrific killings get more attention, and more random gun deaths get less attention?

                    I don't understand why some people are flustered by these well-known facts.

                      Actually, they are stating a fact. Some killings are more high profile than others, not that the soldiers don't matter, just that they happened to have the misfortune of being shot in the same news cycle as a late-term abortion provider gunned down in his own church.
                      I live in a town where there are at least 2 or 3 murders a month and many more shootings, I don't expect to see them covered on the nation news, but at the same time last night Dateline did a story on a man that is near where I live because he killed his neighbors over a property line dispute. So to reiterate the fact, not all murder is equal in the eyes of the news.

                        The Muslim Terrorist is also an UltraConservative. Isn't that what Religious fanatics are known for, their conservative views.
                        Seems to me that Irans leadership is Conservative..clinging to their religious beliefs and demanding that everyone else follw along.
                        Are you saying a Radical Muslim is a liberal? If so, all I can say is WOW....

                        Just because he killed two servicemen doesn't make him a liberal. Those days of pointing the crooked finger of guilt are over and that is why Cons quit buying mirrors.
                        . A Conservative is a Conservative. We have our own problems on the far left side..but these two killers are yours. Deny it if you wish but your explanation must be accurate.

                        A little off topic but what I find a little hypocritical of the Right is that on their major TV station Fox News, Greta Van whatever had or still has a one hour evening show...While the war in Iraq was at its fiercest, many troops dying, she was devoting most of her show to some girl who dissappeared in Aruba or wherever. Did Greta ever read a list of soldiers killed that day..NOPE. But the blond girl from the South was the focal point of an hour long show.

            Bill, this MD covered up for child rapists?

            Some digging on Mr McHugh.

            "If you found the clergy sex abuse scandal shocking, prepare for another jolt: the Catholic bishops are getting their "expert" advice on pedophilia from people who have covered up or even defended sex between men and children.


            The bishops recently chose Dr. Paul McHugh, former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, as chief behavioral scientist for their new clergy sex crimes review board. Yet Dr. McHugh once said Johns Hopkins' Sexual Disorders Clinic, which treats molesters, was justified in concealing multiple incidents of child rape and fondling to police, despite a state law requiring staffers to report them.

            "We did what we thought was appropriate," said Dr. McHugh, then director of Hopkins' Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, which oversaw the sex clinic. He agreed with his subordinate, clinic head Fred Berlin, who broke the then-new child sexual abuse law on the grounds that it might keep child molesters from seeking treatment."

        Sigh. Quoting from wikipedia here because it gets so tiresome repeating the same thing over and over again:

        Kansas law prohibits aborting viable fetuses, which is generally midway through the second trimester, unless *two doctors* certify that continuing the pregnancy would cause the woman "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function."[28] Tiller went on trial in March 2009, charged with 19 misdemeanors for allegedly consulting a second physician in late-term abortion cases who was not truly "independent" as required by Kansas state law.[29][30]

        [...]

        On March 27, 2009, Tiller was found *not guilty* of all 19 misdemeanor charges stemming from some abortions he performed at his Wichita clinic in 2003.

The DA that brought the charges was dumped and then the state only produced one witness, the very Dr that Tiller used to confirm the death sentences for the unborn babies. Sebelius's new DA even dropped all of the series charges against Tiller before the case even went to trial.

                    That still doesn't make it ethical or even accurate to perform a diagnosis of another doctor's patient solely by reading the other doctor's notes.

I guess in your biased world we should just ignore his opinion. I suppose you prefer the opinion of Patricia Ireland who lied about seeing Tillers records and then supported Tiller.

                            your (sic) fist (sic) sentence is really flawed Easy, dazzel (sic) 'em with BS.
                            Iggy, could you please explain what a "fist" sentence is? Did you punch yourself with it, or did you call it that because you strained your lips while reading it?

                            And the first sentence makes perfect logical sense. If a state hires someone to perform an unethical act, the fact that the person was hired by the state does not make the act ethical. I'm sorry your comprehension level is so low that was hard for you to understand. Let me see if I can express it on your level:

                            "If big state make man do bad thing, thing not become good."

                            I hope that's better for you, it may still be too advanced for your reading level.

                            In the future, I'll type more slowly so you can understand the post better.

            Fairliberal have you ever had to make the choice between continuing with a pregnancy or terminating it to protect your own life? I have, it is by far the hardest decision a person will ever have to make. Your argument is flawed in that you basically lump all women that have to go through this as sociopaths because they must decide to do this on a whim. You need to get off your moral high horse.

        It's almost impossible to learn something from such a prejudiced man. He is clearly against abortion, and distorts the facts in the cases of the women who had abortions, trivialized the reasons they chose abortions, and pretends that Tiller was neglecting his duties as a legal abortion provider by denying these women psychiatric care after the abortion.

        And the most telling comment this guy made is this. Dr McHugh lies by saying that, since for for all women, being pregnant and having a young child is a deterent to suicide, that therefore suicide wouldn't be a big issue for the very limited sampling of women who chose to have late-term abortions. Women who are in a state where they would consider a late-term abortion, and then not only consider it, but go through with it at a cost of $5000, are clearly not equivalent to the average pregnant woman or mother of a young child. Comparing them, and then suggesting that women denied the opportunity to have a late-term abortion under such circumstances would not be under a much greater risk of suicide, is ignorant to the extreme! The doctor has no credibility in discussing this issue.

        And guess what? He was denied the right to testify at the trial. His 'testimony' was irrelevant and immaterial! And you want us to give it plenty of weight. How surprising.

        http://www.newshounds.us/2009/06/05/bill_oreilly_smears_dr_tiller_as_dr_killer_and_women_who_have_late_term_abortions.php

        As part of a witch hunt against Dr. Tiller by rabid anti-abortion Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline, McHugh was commissioned to review medical records for possible infractions of the law. The next Attorney General, Paul Morrison ended the investigation, in June 2007, with no charges filed. After McHugh released his videotape, Morrison threatened McHugh with legal action if he didn’t cease and desist talking about the case. Morrison (who didn’t believe McHugh) stated that Tiller’s “clinic provides high-quality medical care and complies with state law.†None of this was acknowledged by Bill O’Reilly who continues to wage war against Dr. Tiller and women who have late term abortions. But calling George Tiller, “Dr. Killer†– stay classy, Bill!

                Okay, fine. Her point was that if Tiller got more coverage it's because, if there are two murder stories in the news, the one that shocks more will get more play. Are you denying that it's slightly more unusual for a man to be gunned down by a terrorist in church than to be gunned down by a terrorist in the street? She wasn't talking about IMPORTANCE. She was talking about NEWS COVERAGE. Now, commence with your refreshingly intelligent rhetoric about "baby-killers" and "Islamofascists".

                I think the point about how Tiller was targeted and the soldier's death was more random is a good one. Since the latter fits into a pattern long discussed in the media already, and involves someone who has been the subject of public scrutiny, that incident would seem to merit more attention.

                She explained her view quite well. If you disagree, fine, but it's not something that you can use as a shield to deflect what she says.

                  And I believe that's the sole reason that the soldier's death has been brought up, to distract from the terrorist who killed Dr Tiller. There's clear evidence that Dr Tiller's murderer stalked the man, chose to kill him at his church of all places for maximum offensiveness, and had a history of criminal behavior regarding abortion clinics.

        MMFA does seem to have truncated the report, but only after O'Reilly had moved on to other topics. There's often a little grain of truth in O'Reilly's rants, but after you strip away all his spin and put the grains of truth back into their original context, the rants seem kinda pathetic, don't they? Do you understand the difference between "legal" and "illegal"? Oh, sure, O'Reilly can spin it any way he wants, but if you to take the trouble to find out what actually happened, and what was actually said, and by whom -- but that's a little much for most on the Right, isn't it?

        This is what Dr McHugh thinks. It's an excerpt from the transcript of his interview with Operation Rescue, the anti-abortion organization.

        Note in particular how he disclaims his comments as being based on woefully incomplete data. Yet these are the "facts" O'Reilly has been running with for two years, with no such disclaimer.

        DR. MC HUGH: Yes, well they — Remember most important, Megan, to appreciate is that these records that I was shown were very inadequate psychiatric records. Okay? They were not thorough, detailed, pages-long understandings of the biographies, backgrounds, states of mind, and particular directions that these young women were suffering from. There was no clear work of — in those records — that would be construed as capable of giving you a full picture of the mental condition of these women. They highlighted certain kinds of things, which, out of context, were hard of course to appreciate, but were sometimes of a most trivial sort, from saying that, “I won’t be able to go to concerts,†or “I won’t be able to take part in sports,†to more serious ones, such as, “I don’t want to give my child up for adoption.†But at no time could you see and understand the future of these individuals and in what way they should be seen as full people, people capable of being helped in this situation. Rather, they were highlighted for certain kinds of, well, preoccupations and concerns. Some of them would be construed as trivial and others would be construed as serious. A trivial one would not being able to go to a rock concert. A more serious one would be to say, “I am going to be worried about the life of this child later on in life. But notice, I could pick out only bits and pieces of this. This is not a — none of them represented a full psychiatric history.

        And wouldn't it be good to know what Dr Paul McHugh of John Hopkins thinks, he was the first independent person to review Tillers records....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mviFMpy_sBU


        Yeah, I though it would be good to know what other OPINIONS Dr. McHugh has, and look what I found.


        McHugh…is the man whose report to the court in one case stated that a defendant’s harassing phone calls were not obscene - including the call that detailed a fantasy of a 4-year-old sex slave locked in a dog cage and fed human waste. At least eight men have been convicted of sexually abusing Maryland children while under treatment at the “sex disorders†clinic McHugh runs at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine - abuse the doctors did not report, citing client confidentiality. When Maryland law was changed to require that doctors report child molestation, the clinic fought it and advised patients on how to get around the law. The memo to patients suggested that molesters report their pedophilic activities to their lawyers, who could in turn tell staff; attorney-client privilege would then protect the molesters from being reported. This memo was fully approved by the boss - Dr. Paul McHugh…†http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/09/20/ED175849.DTL

        Dr. Paul McHugh, once said Johns Hopkins' Sexual Disorders Clinic, which treats molesters, was justified in concealing multiple incidents of child rape and fondling to police, despite a state law requiring staffers to report them.

        "We did what we thought was appropriate," said Dr. McHugh, then director of Hopkins' Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, which oversaw the sex clinic. He agreed with his subordinate, clinic head Fred Berlin, who broke the then-new child sexual abuse law on the grounds that it might keep child molesters from seeking treatment
        .

        So we need to review something from July of 2007 about a man that was murdered two weeks ago? No new info, you and O'Reilly just want people to see the video so they might think, "well maybe he deserved what he got". That is the point of this.

      "Casual reasons". Uh-huh. Licensed medical professionals say otherwise, there, Bill, but hey, they don't have six Peabodys and a Presidential Medal of Freedom or whatever you're up to now.
      Just remember, Bill, once a woman is dead, she can't hear you fantasize about molesting her with a falafel.

            An expert from John Hopkins should be ignored, great approach to the truth you have. What should I expect from a site where people consider the murder of a soldier just an everyday killing of average soldiers. The right to kill babies is much more important.

                Really, would you like the link to this brilliant statement from one of your comrades..Unusual news stories get more airtime than normal stories. Dr Tiller ran one of only 3 clinics in the country that handled late term abortions. He had been physically attacked and targeted for decades.

                Compare that to the everyday killing of average soldiers at a recruiting location, and you are comparing apples and bookcases.

                      The man was performing legal and necessary medical procedures for women. That's it.

                      What's so head in the sand about it? Nothing... Only to crazy folks like yourself who probably think he deserved to die, or it seems like you don't mind so much that a man was gunned down in his church for no reason.

                        Well did you listen to the John Hopkins Dr who examined Tiller's records before you made up your mind. I doubt it, you probably still have not looked at it.

                        I must admit I care more about the soldier who was murdered than Tiller, unlike some here who just consider the soldiers death an everyday event.

Do you classify the soldiers murder as " just the everyday killing of average soldiers" like LULU did. Or will you say it was a dispicable statement to make.

                            Lets see what your variation is.

                              Is that they were called "average" soldiers that is your beef? They should have been referred to as "extraordinary" soldiers??

                              Or is it "everyday killing"? Are you disputing that there are killings everyday?

                              I think when you dissect your argument you will see that it is not clear what your beef is.
                              Other than you think the soldier's murder should get more coverage than the doctor who was murdered because he performed abortions. You can believe that all you want - it just isn't true.

                              The murder of one of 3 doctors performing these services that had been previsouly attacked multiple times by the terrorist group Operation Rescue is as big a story in and of itself. When you add in the fact that there are many who are trying to justify or add credence to the belief that this man was a "killer" so therefore got what he had coming to him this is a BIG story. That's the facts of life.

                              If there were not people like you and Bill O'Reilly running around saying he was a "killer" running a "death mill" and that anyone who did not stop him had "blood on his hands" .Or that the governor fixed an election and created a sex scandal to fix the court case against him (a special kind of crazy that you and Operation Rescue have added into the mix) than it may not be a bigger story. So it is actually your madness that makes it the bigger story. Perhaps your anger should be directed inward.

                          Actually, necessary was not "debatable," since kansas law is very clear that late term abortions must be deemed necessary by two independent doctors. Tiller was acquitted on charges that he did not consult another doctor.

                          So, if you think it is debatable, you have lost the debate.

                              We can, if a wingnut will actually bring up an idea that hasn't been debunked as a flat-out lie many times before.

                              The way wingnuts argue is, they say "A." After being shown objective proof that A is false, they try to deflect the argument to "B," which is also proven to be false. After a few minutes, they show up in another section of the same thread, again arguing "A."

                              Rinse, repeat.

                    It wasn't an inane statement. The discussion was why wasn't the murder of a soldier at a recruiting center given the same coverage as the killing of Dr Tiller, and it's clear why they were not.

                    There were a couple of people killed in my community over the weekend. Depending on where you live, you likely had a few killed too. Did any of those murders become national news? Nope. Why not? Because the everyday random murder of everyday people is not national news. The murder of a soldier is more unique, so it gets some coverage. The premeditated murder of a unique medical provider, a man who has ben attacked multiple times before, a man who was targeted and followed to his church (not just followed any old place, followed to his CHURCH), is much more newsworthy and is going to garner more publicity.

                    Saying that there's a huge difference between those two events is not inane. It's reality. Dog bites man is not news. Man bites dog is news.

                              So far you have mangled the English language until it is almost begging to be waterboarded, just so it can have some relief.

                              You have provided no proof that the term "straw man" has been overused, because you have provided nothing to show that you actually know what a straw man is. In fact, when Capt Foster accused FL of using a straw man, I specifically said the argument wasn't a straw man. Maybe using the term correctly is "overusing" it for you.

                              You have also not shown any "hasty generalization" (agai a logical term with a precise meaning that you do not seem to know) that has been made, nor have you proven the existence of "personel (sic) attacks" (I must have said something about an employee somewhere).

                              You have also projected your ignorance upon me, by saying I have "knee-jerked," again without providing a single example. As for "not knowing what you are talking about, let's just say you're projecting harder than a twenty-screen Cineplex.

                              I would also compliment you on your morning's work, but being willfully ignorant is not work (oversoming ignorance is work, and so far your posts are of the extremely lazy sort), and you seem to exhibit ignorance effortlessly.

                              And it isn't an "attack" if it can be shown to be correct.

                  Dr. Tiller's killer says more violence is coming: Scott Roeder calls the AP to issue more threats

                  Scott Roeder called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail, where he's being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Dr. George Tiller one week ago.

                  "I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal," Roeder said.

              How about someone who is not impartial, and comes into the commentary and opinion already being an abortion opponent?

              Because, that's who you're holding up as some sort of example. He already agrees with you, so it's not a big stretch for him to "agree" that what Tiller was doing was bad, even though, it wasn't.

                    It is unbelievable but conservatives do argue that abortion is wrong regardless of incest or rape, regardless how young or how old the female is (a 10 year old can not be called a woman) They argue that abortion is worse than any crime committed against the female. They expect her to pay for the other persons crime against her for the rest of her life. Yet they will justify war in a heartbeat.

                  Heaven forbid that the 10 year olds in the study might have been molested by an older adult (father, uncle, neighbor...etc) we really don't know. I feel that although not far-fetched, but highly unlikely that the 10 year olds in question were just giving it up to the school boys and kids in the neighborhood.

                  Are you barking mad? The age would quite clearly be a major qualifying factor. Not only are there obviously serious legal and psychological issues with someone of that age having sex in the first place, it would make it more likely that there would be medical complications with the birth.

                  Maybe the next time you pipe up on an abortion thread, someone will ask why your opinion should be taken seriously, since you seem to believe that 10-year old girls should be forced to give birth. What the hell is wrong with you?

              Okay Not Fair Nor Liberal...

              I took your bait and went to your little link you offered at that cjonline.com

              Here is an excerpt from that article that you would like for us to consider as proof...

              "These records were very thin," said McHugh, a member of President Bush's council on bioethics. "This is an inadequate psychiatric evaluation. It is an inadequate psychiatric judgment."

              Considering that it is becoming quite apparent that just about everyone that was/is linked to the Bush/Cheney regime is not much considered trust-worthy or has any credibility as it pertains to the truth!

              Bush certainly proved himself a person that hated science. It is not very likely that a legitimate unsoiled scientist was going to be given a position on a board on bioethics that was not in some way owned and operated by a Bush zealot.

              Also, I have read all the posts here... and I have to ask... why do you even bother coming in here wasting our time with your useless right-wing talking points?

                    The linked CJOnline article clearly mentions that Paul McHugh is an outspoken abortion opponent (also, incidentally, a Neocon) who attended forums of activists pushing for Tiller's arrest. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have a right to an opinion, or even that he's necessarily wrong, but he is hardly the man to do an impartial study.

          Psychiatrists might be MDs, but they're not well versed in abortion techniques, nor the necessity of such techniques or procedures. If he wanted to talk about the mental condition of the women, then that's fine, he has a point, and it's his specialty. Talking about the procedures and what Tiller did, he's got no place. Just because he went to a good school, doesn't mean he knows everything about something that he didn't study.

      You know, fairliberal, no matter how many times Bill O calls Tiller a "baby killer" he's expressing his opinion. You may share that view but it's still just an opinion. Operation Rescue and the execrable Randall Terry also are only opining; they may try to sound authoritative but it's not a fact that life begins at conception.
      They like to say it because it allows them to treat women like second class citizens who should be made to endure the consequences of sex.
      Terry should be accompanied by tape of his act in Florida during the Schiavo affair. Given how his opinion turned out there, why do you think he's right here?

      Dr McHugh was hired by Operation Rescue as an expert witness. I learned in bankruptcy court what an opponent's attorney said about "expert witnesses', "you bring your liar and I'll bring mine."

      If you, fairliberal, were quoting an objective third party, you might be able to claim some superior knowledge but quoting an "expert witness" like Dr McHugh in this case doesn't qualify.

      Juan Williams says that torture is illegal and abortion is legal, and O'Reilly says that Juan is arguing "semantics". Since when is illegal and legal "semantics"?

      Williams says that late term abortions in Kansas were legal, and O'Reilly says that they aren't legal in about 30 states. So what? Since when does it matter if it's illegal on one state if it's legal in the state Tiller was doing them in?

      And he wants to claim the high ground here? Liars don't get to claim the high ground, O'Reilly. Disingenuous people don't get to either.

        Well, if Juan continues in that vein he might get around to how sexual harassment is illegal, so Bill is understandably on edge.

        Yeah, from the other thread. Nicely observed about O'Reilly's cavalier attitude toward the rule of law when it doesn't involve a Democratic president's penis.

          It's not my "opinion" that unique murders get lots of press time and everyday murders don't.

          That's fact.

          People who can't understand the difference between fact and opinion shouldn't comment on sites like this, but if you are so ignorant that you don't know the difference between fact and opinion, then you're probably also too ignorant to know what a fool you are making of yourself!

          I didn't disrespect the soldiers in the least. But the soldier that was killed and the other one who was injured in Arkansas outside a recruiting center were attacked randomly. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. We don't have massive problems with people protesting the military. We don't have a country massively split between supporting the troops and being pacifists against the military, do we?

          These are some of the facts that make the differing amounts of network news coverage between the two murders clearly understandable. There's no opinion there.

            You trivialized his murder and are now saying that a soldier murdered by a Muslim terrorist is an everyday murder. What stupidity. That's fact.

              FL, that is a logical fallacy called a "lie," and it is your main stock in trade. You did manage to fit four of them into three sentences, so you are at least efficient, if not very bright at reading comprehension.

              I did not trivialize the murder of the soldier. I was describing the reasons why the amount of news coverage was different for the two murders. The two soldiers shot were not stalked like animals and were not shot at a church. They were attacked for who they were - they were convenient, random targets outside a military recruiting center.

              When the murders happened, the history of the shooter was not known. When the murder of Dr Tiller happened, the history of that shooter was known.

              All the facts combined explains perfectly why one story got lots more coverage by the media.

              And the biases (opinions) of those on the right explain why they are so anxious to minimize the coverage of Dr Tiller's murder and maximize the coverage of the shooting of the two soldiers.

              This argument does your side no good. It is your side who has disreputable opinions and limited use of the facts on their side.

          I paid attention. I saw no evidence. I saw posts that you thought were evidence, but they were all guilty of fallacious reasoning or partisan lying, and so couldn't be taken seriously.

          Let's not waste tax dollars researching who was affilliated with Tillers murder. The man has been arrested and will be tried. The 60,000 innocent babies (Tiller the baby killer) tore apart in the womb have no legal recourse. Was anyone brought to justice for the innocent's murders? The killer, Tiller made millions and donated nicley to Kansas politicians. in order to make fully developed babies abortion (murder)legal. Had Tiller let one of the 60,000 babies out of the womb a few seconds before tearing them apart he would have been named what he was ...... a MURDER. If you put the twist on truth (for instance) call a baby, a fetus you are politically correct perhaps, but wicked.Twisted cord makes wicker and twisted truth is wicked. My sympathy is with the suffering babies.

      The greatest threat to America isn't terrorism, it's the division of it's people by jerks like Bill O'Reilly. After he used his position on national TV to practically demand if not out right suggest, that someone kill this doctor, he now attempts to justify this murder, of a family man in his church no less, by trying to make it seem the doctor deserved this? There is no way, that no one, including a missinformed hypocrit like O"Reilly" can say that the cold blooded murder of this doctor was right, or justified. O'Reilly should be thrown off the air for hate speech. Imus was dumped for a thoughtless joke, what Bill did was promote a murder and I've seen no one mention this. Shame on him and shame on those who think murdering Dr. Tiller was anything less then terrorism caused by the intolerant christian fanatics. The truly evil people are the ones justifying murder and they condone this tragedy and Bill promotes this too. America is being divided, not by terrorism, but by idiots like O'Reilly.

      Conservative hypocrisy?

      To some conservatives, aborting fetuses when the mother's life is in danger is barbaric, but killing/torturing people who kill/torture people to show that killing/torturing people is wrong is heroic.

        Can you show where "some conservatives" say that aborting fetuses when the mother's life is in danger is barbaric. Has that even been raised in this thread.
        Please quote someone who said that. It sounds like liberal fiction to me. It certainly was not said by me or anyone else that I know of. So please enlighten me , maybe post a link to the statement.

      We have to look at what the man has brought to surface. It is a type of hypocrisy. As the challenge is presented, what do we do now? There should be clear restrictions for late term abortions in my opinion. Abortions in general in early stages are debatable and this is not an illegal procedure in states that allow them, that is reflective of the politics of that state and that politician who represents them. Ask your politicians why did they sanction the procedure, not the President. Let's talk about late term a little though if not an extreme circumstance.

        Notice how O'Reilly sets ups his entire argument- that liberals have a problem with waterboaring that provided useful information and saved lives- contrary to what government officials have claimed- that torture does not provide useful information. The second part of his claim, that the "info" saved lives, has not been substantiated by any government official, except Dick Cheney. So where does this " no-spin" informtion come from?

        Classic example of a straw man argument.

        I see no connection between the morality of torture and the fact that some women or families don't want to bring a life into the world that wouldn't have a chance.

        Apparently, O'Reilly does.

          And Cheney didn't substantiate it, he merely claimed it. It is another of the main GOP tactics, claiming a lie is true merely because they say it is true.
