(last update) THIS is very cool. Move your cursor! Thanks to Megan B!

The New York Times reports that a Wichita, KS, abortion doctor was shot and killed while attending his church Sunday morning.

(2d UPDATE) I found some “conservative” reactions to the above at Andrew Sullivan, and they are really shocking in their calloused view of this event, in my opinion.

Not long ago, Republicans were outraged at newly appointed Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano because her agency had released a threat assessment concerning extreme conservatives.

However, it seems to me that today’s news reinforces the idea that the right wing in America has gone over the edge. None of this seems to even speak to those survivalists/militia types that skulk around in the great northwest and along the Mexican border (plus, of course, our own local armed crazies along the Arkansas/OK border). The greater radicalization of the already armed extreme right seems rising and that is frightening in its prospects to me. G. Gordon Liddy (don’t even think about getting a link from me) saying on the radio he hoped no important court decisions were made when Justice Sotomayor’s menstrual cycle was near makes me ill with disgust. How can such vile gutterances (intentional made-up word) get into the mainstream of information? How can this be acceptable to decent people of ANY political stripe? God bless us, every one.

A FOLLOW-UP

I reported the comment mentioned in the last post to Politico and it’s been taken off the thread. However, this story appears in today’s online Salon, noting that a Pennsylvania newspaper had to drop and report to the Secret Service a classified ad that appears to invite the assassination of President Obama. You can be sure these right wing fuctards think torture is just fine and dandy. How did they ever become part of the civil discourse of our times? It’s disgusting, frighting, horrible and unacceptable.
