Chris Matthews says pro-life advocates use terrorist methods

[Island_Oak]

It is an unfortunate tragic thing to note that on all sides of Political Debates, there are “terrorists”, people who so admitly disagree with the other side they will go to extreme lengths. But it does go Both ways and this is something this fella should admit. While some are extreme in the Pro-Life camp, many are likewise extreme in the Pro-Choice camp.

His exact words were:

During his program “Hardball” on Monday night, Matthews worried that Sebelius would become the target of “the terrorism of the, of the anti-abortion people.”
Immediately after making the remark, Matthews appeared to realize his mistake and corrected himself to say, “I mean verbal terrorism.”

…and yes…IF we are willing to be honest there have been extremists on the pro-life side of the abortion debate who have used violence & threats of violence to intimidate opponents. Those ARE terrorist tactics, like it or not. The pro-life movement on the whole is not a terrorist movement-far from it-and Chris Matthews never suggested it is. We need to embrace pro-life advocates who are moral and effective as well as acknowledge and decry those who use or promote the use of illegal and immoral means to promote their cause.

Matthews needn’t have worried. The Senate laid down placidly in acceptance of this extremely pro-abortion nominee. She’s perfect for this administration.
