-
- I think that Mr. Kendig expressed himself quite well. He certainly
- doesn't need an idiot to interpret his comments.
-
- It is hard to explain because people's biases interfere with their
- willingness to believe what happens, idiot. An unbiased commentary
- sounds biased because of the extremity of the situation. You
- should know how violent you people get when you're whipped into
- a religious frenzy by your (all male, all white) leaders.
-
- ## The book that Holtsinger got his bloody fetus descption from,
- ## _Caught in the Crossfire_ by Sue Hertz, is a good report
- ## of a year's worth of O.R. blockades in Boston.
- #
- #The book that you describe is radically pro-abortion in
- #nature. Mr. Kendig wants an unbiased account, not propaganda.
-
- The book that you have quoted repeatedly is an unbiased account.
- Hertz was not a participant in the blockades in Boston, she
- was a reporter.
-
- I'll remind you of your comments the next time that you seek
- abuse in multiple newsgroups by posting "propaganda."
-
- ## There was a "48 Hours" telecast of O.R.'s attack on Atlanta
- ## that was fairly well done, too.
- #
- #A story from the same network which did such a hatchet job
- #on the Becky Bell story?
-
- No, Reverend, "48 Hours" is not on the Family Channel. You should
- get out more.
-
- ## Be aware that the name "Operation Rescue" is rarely used any
- ## longer. The national organization was fined tens of thousands
- ## of dollars for violating an injunction in NYC,
- #
- #The fact that they've broken the law is not indicative
- #that their activities are wrong -- the phrase ``civil
- #disobedience'' quickly comes to mind.
-
- The fact that apologists for this group of terrorists describe
- their criminal acts as "civil disobedience" is fairly meaningless
- to those of us who live in the real world, DODie.
-
- Of course, I didn't say that illegal means wrong - that's
- your own invention. It's not even responsive to the fragment
- that you quoted. Why didn't you just forge something?
