I agree with the pundits who say that Scott Roeder is not a terrorist. Scott Roeder is a tool that was craftily used by radical anti-abortion groups to accidentally satisfy their thirst for revenge.
Bill O'Reilly and others can describe George Tiller as a murderer. They can describe his actions as running some kind of modern death camp, but what they pretend to be informative reporting is actually calculated to incite emotional outrage.

"Dr. George Tiller, who is one of the few doctors in the United States
who performs the Hitlerian procedure known as a partial birth abortion"- Laura Ingraham, on fox and friends
This rhetoric doesn't serve to inform the public on the types of abortion procedures that are in use in America, it seeks to divide individuals by pretending to hunt for evil. What avenues of recourse do you have when facing ultimate evil? To what depth of human despair do you reach to find a tactic for dealing with what you believe to be pure evil? What is Dr. Tiller? If murdering innocent children is not evil, then what is?who performs the Hitlerian procedure known as a partial birth abortion"- Laura Ingraham, on fox and friends
"'Tiller the Baby Killer' out in Kansas, acquitted,
acquitted today of murdering babies." - Bill O'Reilly

Some might have you believe that Fox news is solely responsible for the death of George Tiller, as tempting an accusation as this is, it isn't true. Others still continue to defiantly shout that George Tiller was a murderer and his eventual death was itself almost poetic. What I find to be most facisnating is that I learned everything I needed to know about this tragedy and how I felt about it when I was in grade school. When little Brittney knocked me down on the playground, in retalliation I chased her and returned the favor. What followed was an hour of being pushed and pushing. Tasteing sand and serving it.
Whatever you believe about a man who was acting in accordance with the law and his own conscience, this moment in tragedy does not serve the cause of Anti-abortion groups. The rhetoric we need to hear is that all murder is wrong, not just that which we conceive to be wrong. If we don't realize that every person's devil is another one's saint, we are doomed to continue knocking each other off the monkey bars until all of us choke to death on the dirt.
“Evil cannot be 'treated' -- nor should it be. Evil has to [be]
confronted and destroyed and it matters not why the evil
is in play. Society has no obligation to try to rehabilitate evil.”
-Bill O'Reilly, on WorldNetDaily
