...overlook it when it's one? of their own? Definition of terrorism:
"The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."
Scott Roeder assassinated Dr George Tiller due to his ideological and political beliefs, as well as to intimidate and coerce other physicians. He fits the definition of a terrorist, so why do so many on the right refuse to acknowledge him as one? Could it be because he is a white, anti choice, christian?
This is amusing me. Usually my questions about Scott Roeder generate several claims from the right that he's not a terrorist.
