Have fun with that one!

How many have died or been shot in abortion clinic violence? Big difference...

What you are saying, Spence, is that that when someone (presumably a liberal) is sufficiently frustrated that they aren't getting their way, the use (or threat) of mass violence and terrorism, is acceptable to you.

I've never said that, and if that's what you think then clearly you haven't read a thing I've posted.

According to SPence, the Weather Underground's actions are considered, we need to conclude that a mitigating factor was thatthey were "angry".

Spence, don't you think Al Queda terrorists similarly feel that the peaceful way of getting their way isn't working for them, and that they have similarly reached a boiling point? Isn't that a prerequisite for their having declared a fatwah on anyone who doesn't believe exactly what they believe? Do you give them a pass too?

Big difference, al Qaeda terrorists plot to kill massive numbers of innocent people in dramatic attacks without any warning.
That's the thing you don't seem to grasp. Lumping all these actions together under a common banner tarnishes the real threats for political purposes.
