I watched the Rachel Maddow show tonight. I found it interesting that the first two segments were about the senseless murder of Dr. George Tiller. And in those two segments I lost track of how many times Roeder was called a right wing terrorist.
Then there was a minute or so given to the murder of Private William Long, 23 by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23. At no point was he called a terrorist. Now in fairness it has been a shorter time span since this occured but I'm gonna watch and see what kind of coverage and outrage she gives to this solidier. Who's murder was also politically ideological motivated. Will we hear her call Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad a terrorist?
So that's my observation you can agree or disagree.

not familiar with this show
do not watch it
I personally can't watch it all the way through most nights. She seems like she has a permanent sneer on her face to me. She makes me think of the old saying "if you keep making that face it'll get stuck that way".
not familiar
The Tiller assasination was politically motivated. Hence the terrorist label. Simple. As far as right wing.. He was a member of the admitted right wing group Freeman and Operation Rescue. This person is just the kind of individual that the April report from DHS mentioned. I expect this type of attack from right wing terrorists to increase significantly in the coming 3 years.
