Actually, the response from the left was less than I expected, at least so far. Could it be that Tiller was more of a liability to the left than a hero?
The almost simultaneous shootings of the soldiers by that Muslim Jihadist and the killing of Tiller by Roeder has the leftists in a quandary. Muslims are supposed to be nice but misunderstood, not angry black militants waiting to kill soldiers and other conservative Americans.
The killing of Tiller on the one hand would seem to strengthen the case for gun control, on the other hand the killing of the soldiers strengthens the case for the need to carry for personal self defense as allowed for under the second amendment. Thus the quandary of the leftist gun control crowd; the 2 news stories nullify each other in terms of political effectiveness for the left.
