The President`s remarks were appropriate and, in fact, a necessary response. To have said anything less would have been a disgrace.

From what i can tell, Dr. Tiller@s killer was a sick man. But Tiller@s murder would be a totally rational act if one took seriously many of the comments openly made by serious pro-lifers, including some who have posted here.

Ah, a Berkleyite? I would love to meet up sometime. Have we met before at any DSPT events? Anyway, I’ll shoot you an e-mail.

I’ll see if I can get a transcript, Br. Matthew.

It turns out it the radio show was CBC’s As It Happens. You can hear the show and the interview with Peggy Bowman at

Matt,

If you have an example of a conservative radio host fomenting murder send it along- that would save me some trouble.

We should have dinner some time, by the way, Br. Matthew.

Maybe the problem is that conservatives need to actually start listening to conservative radio and liberals actually need to start listening to liberal radio. :)

Perhaps so, Br. Matthew – I’m in Berkeley (about 3 or 4 blocks blocks from DSPT, in fact) and the local conservative talk station is KSFO 560 AM. Give them a listen some time: it will curl your hair.

I tend to give Pacifica a wide berth; the few times I’ve tuned in, they seemed to be run by a certain species of Berkeley leftist with whom I don’t have much in common; I’m much more old-line New Deal left (with a dash of anti-imperialism) than ’60s leftover, “free-Mumia” left.

I’m in Oakland, so I’m not sure where I would begin looking for a conservative radio station. ;) Maybe they are out there, but I’ve never run across them here. The only radio report I’ve heard regarding Tiller was by Pacifica (or NPR, I’m not sure which) on my way into San Fran this afternoon, the guest on which assured her audience that in spite of their apparent denunciations, pro-life organizations supported the murder. Maybe the problem is that conservatives need to actually start listening to conservative radio and liberals actually need to start listening to liberal radio. :)

I didn’t take it that way – I knew what you meant, Br. Matthew.

Matt,

BTW, the “dirty hands” comment was in no way directed at you- I hope you didn’t think that.

I think your perception as to who has the most violent extremists must be heavily baised by whom you sympathize the most with.

I think that better describes you that me, DC.
