Villains are not heroes.
But, try telling that to some of the leading radical anti-abortionist leaders, some of whom have gathered increased scrutiny via the FBI for corresponding and having jailhouse visits with Scott Roeder, the killer of Wichita, Kansas, Dr. George Tiller.
In fact, the FBI is so intrigued by the movement's inter-communication with Roeder, they're exploring a theory that Dr. Tiller's murder was perhaps a larger conspiracy.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and guest, Amy Hagstrom Miller, President & CEO, Whole Woman's Health, a network of clinics in Texas and Maryland, give needed attention to this issue of women's rights and public safety, as (again) under a democratic administration, the radical anti-abortion movement committed to violence has blossomed in the heartland.
The far-right leadership communicating to Scott Roeder listed on a manifesto letter from the extreme anti-abortionist Army of God group is chilling.
What is truly worrying is that elements of the far right-wing movement such as the anti-abortionists, anti-tax activists, anti-government Free Republics, and white supremacy elements are profilerating their activities in the face of Obama's "New Foundation" for Change?
Maddow's report raises the spectre that the cultural wars may be just beginning. Who will win: the forces of the past or the future?
