After I heard about this assassination, my immediate thought was: Did this assassin realize he was making a martyr that will hurt his cause badly in public?

I mean an assassination in the church lobby of a mainstream protestatnt sect....didn't that killer realize one of his bullets could have harmed or killed one of the by-standers?

Anyway, that assassin wrote on the ultra-pro life website for Operation Rescue:

Bless everyone for attending and praying to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp.

Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.

and

It seems as though what is happening in Kansas could be compared to the “lawlessness” which is spoken of in the Bible. Tiller is the concentration camp “Mengele” of our day and needs to be stopped before he and those who protect him bring judgement upon our nation.

Of course the same Operation Rescue that wrote this about the slain abortionist: "You may be the difference between life and death for a child." Real vigilante-friendly language, isn't it?"

As for O'Reilly, I always thought of him as a blowhard idiot, like every other TV news pundit, then I read this from a 2007 episode of his about Tiller:

""Yes, I think we all know what this is. And if the state of Kansas doesn't stop this man, then anybody who prevents that from happening has blood on their hands as the governor does right now, Governor Sebelius.""

and variations on 27 other episodes. Can't wait for his response tonight.
