Just when we thought Troy Newman couldn't get any more ridiculous...Troy Newman gets more ridiculous.
The link above is to a New York Times article wherein Newman announces intentions to buy Dr. Tiller's now-closed clinic from the Tiller family.
A spokesman for the family (rightly) called the idea a stunt, which gives me hope that even if Operation Rescue comes up with the cash, the family won't sell to them.
But on the day of the second right-wing domestic terrorist attack in a very short amount of time, this stunt makes it clearer than ever that Operation Rescue and like-minded folks are less than upset about Dr. Tiller's murder.
Gee, if I wanted to actually discourage further acts of violence against abortion providers, I probably wouldn't try so hard to capitalize on them. But that's just me.

How do you figure that the psychopath that shot up the holocaust museum was Right Wing?
I am pretty sure he belongs in the camp that believes the GOP blew up the towers and the pentagon.
I would just say he is insane, and that the only camp he is in is hatred!
Anti-government and neo-Nazi groups have traditionally be classified as right wing, just as eco-terrorist and radical groups like the Weathermen have traditionally been classified as left wing. Do any of us want to 'claim' them? Of course not. But there it is.

Maybe we should just classify all of them in their own groups of whack-jobs.
I think there's something to be said for the idea that ideology is more than a circle than a straight line -- the extremes on either end tend to be pretty indistinguishable.
