As expected, the shooting of Dr. George Tiller is really bringing the oddballs out of the woodwork. One site which linked to my original post described the shooting as "Christianist terrorism", and various commenters are blaming conservatives, Republicans, religion, one guy congratulated me for posting the story because it would "drop the prolife opinion polls by at least a point or 2",and one comment was even an attempt to proselytize for atheism. Several have been deleted (including that last one) because they just didn't meet the requirements for propriety. A couple of controversial comments were left in just so you can get a flavor of the debate.
If the shooter thought he was doing the pro-life movement a favor by offing this guy, he was clearly mistaken.
UPDATE: I just deleted a second comment from an atheist recruiter - that's actually how he or she described themselves. They're convinced that if we're all atheists we'll have no more strife or conflicts. They seem to believe that this shooting will enable them to make new converts...or should I say unconverts, to atheism.
No wonder April 1st is called Atheists' Day.
