Anti-abortion protesters show up at Tiller vigil, face off with supporters of slain doctor
AP ^ | 31 May 2009

About 10 anti-abortion protesters gathered across the street from a downtown Wichita vigil where supporters of George Tiller remembered the slain abortion provider.

The protesters outside Sunday's vigil were from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, which also pickets military funerals. The protesters held signs emblazoned with such messages as "Abortion is bloody murder" and "Baby killer in hell."

The protesters and about 20 Tiller supporters shouted at each other. A large number of police officers stood by to make sure the scene stayed under control.

Keep in mind that the Westboro lunatics protesting at the vigil are a tool of Al Gore.

It's fascinating to see democrats attack other democrats.

Such nasty, nasty people on both sides of this scenario.

Somehow, I get the feeling a lot of people are being paid to put on a show for the masses...all the usual suspects it seems.

I know all about the Westboro crew and I’m glad it’s THEM.

Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, which also pickets military funerals

I'm a little surprised that AP mentioned that.

They aren't "anti-abortion protester" they are media whores. These are the same jerks that show up at funerals of U.S. soldiers killed in action in Iraq carrying signs that claim the soldiers deserved to die and that they are rotting in hell for supporting an evil country like America.

Conservatives do not need "allies" like these scumbags.

Who says they’re our allies? Of course they’re not. But I’m not the least bit disturbed that these Tiller vigilers are getting a piece of Westboro.

Bombing and shooting people because they are abortionists isn’t correct and supporting this nut and what he did just makes the anti abortionist movement look like Radical Islamic Muslims. IMO.

...supporting this nut...

You must be talking about the Tiller vigilers, right?

When Muslims commit terrorist acts, the most you will get out of (a couple) Islamic leaders is a general denunciation of violence.

When a baby killer is murdered, the entire pro-life movement condemns the action, while a handful of fruit loops don’t.

See the difference?

Perhaps a supporter and advocate of baby killings such as 0bama will give the eulogy. “Tiller was a great man of principle and integrity, his values and his traditions have served to enhance humanity. He was a man who was a moderate (abortionist) who bought people together (while tearing babies apart), ... Blah, blah, blah,................”

At first I was wondering how people could have so little tact. He was a baby killer, but he is also a murdered human.

But then I read Westboro. Got it.

But how do you know for sure abortion was the motive? There’s been no statement to that effect by law enforcement.

I think we damage ourselves by repeating the MSM propaganda for them, regardless of whether or not it may be accurate. I mean, why help them?
