In reply to the discussion: Anti-Abortion Groups Condemn Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood Attack [View all]JoeyT
(6,785 posts)19. No one actually buys what they're selling.
When you dehumanize people with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge that no one should use violence, because that would be wroooonnnnnnng you're just as responsible as the guy that finally takes your hint and shoots up/bombs a place.
If this guy was a dark skinned Muslim, no one would take seriously for a second the argument that the cleric that told him westerners are monsters that must be stopped was totally in the clear. Yet the same claim gets trotted out every time someone slaughters their way through/bombs an abortion clinic or shoots a doctor.
They don't have a conscience. They just don't want their cause to be linked with violent extremists any further than it already is.

I have to say I'm a little surprised at many of the responses in this thread.

No, they do not have consciences. They are all lying, shedding crocodile tears.
