Tiller Murder Suspect on the FBI Watch List for over a Decade

WIBW.com, unlike the majority of the mainstream media, and the leftosphere is not using the murder of the nation’s most famous late-term abortionist to honor the man, or to call all pro-life supporters terrorists, or to blame Bill O’Reilly for supposedly inciting the murder.

They’re also not falling all over themselves “denouncing” the murder, like so many on the right. (Seriously, people – It’s a murder. Let’s call it what it is and move on.)

Instead, WIBW is doing a little investigative journalism (Kudos!), and is reporting:

The man accused of killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller is a familiar name to Topeka-area law enforcement, not necessarily for his anti-abortion view, but for his anti-government activity.

An anti-government license tag gave authorities the ammunition they needed April 16th, 1996, to pull over then 38-year old Scott Roeder. In his trunk, they found blasting caps, batteries, a one-pound can of gunpowder and documents on how to make hand grenades and other explosives.

The “terrorism” angle is an interesting one, though. I wonder if the left will be as eager to “appease” the folks they are now calling terrorists as they have been to appease the jihadis that have been murdering people worldwide for 1400 years? Will the progressives be on TV nightly, exhibiting their self-flagellation over what Dr. Tiller and the pro-choice movement has done to anger the pro-life movement?

I didn’t think so.
