It didn't take long: RedState plays the Ayers card
What's the last refuge of right wing scoundrels when one another of their own runs amok and becomes a domestic terrorist? Bill Ayers. Of course.
Meanwhile, the phone number in the car story is confirmed. The notation, captured on tape by Kansas City TV station KMBC, did indeed contain the phone number of an Operation Rescue operative:
The phone number is written on an envelope with the name "Cheryl" and "Op Rescue." Cheryl is Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue's senior policy adviser, who in 1988 was convicted of conspiring to bomb a California abortion clinic. She served two years in prison.
Sullenger tells The Pitch that she hasn't spoken with Roeder recently.
"No, he hasn't called me recently," Sullenger said. "No."
She went on: "You know, he's somebody who's been around. My name is on the Internet. It's on every press release. My phone number is on every press release it. It's all over the internet. I don't know. He probably has lots of people's phone numbers. You know? So I don't know. I don't have any more comment other than that."
Scott Roeder harbored a burning, “eye-for-an-eye” anger toward abortion doctors. He once subscribed to a magazine suggesting “justifiable homicide” against them, and apparently likened George Tiller to the Nazi death-camp doctor Josef Mengele.
And it appears Roeder had deeper problems:
Roeder’s family life began unraveling more than a decade ago when he got involved with anti-government groups, and then became “very religious in an Old Testament, eye-for-an-eye way,” his former wife, Lindsey Roeder, told The Associated Press.
“The anti-tax stuff came first, and then it grew and grew. He became very anti-abortion,” said Lindsey Roeder, who was married to Scott Roeder for 10 years but “strongly disagrees with his beliefs.”
“That’s all he cared about is anti-abortion. The church is this. God is this.’ Yadda yadda,” she said.
Lindsey Roeder said that the early years of the marriage were good and that Scott Roeder worked in an envelope factory. But she said he moved out of their home after he became involved with the Freemen movement, an anti-government group that discouraged the paying of taxes. The Roeders have one son, now 22.
“When he moved out in 1994, I thought he was over the edge with that stuff,” his ex-wife said. “He started falling apart. I had to protect myself and my son.”
Roeder was arrested with the bomb making materials in his trunk in 1996.
And get a load of Roeder's friends:
Some anti-abortion activists said they were familiar with Roeder. Regina Dinwiddie, a protester in the Kansas City area, said she had picketed a Planned Parenthood clinic with Roeder. She said she was “glad” about Tiller’s death.
“I wouldn’t cry for him no more than I would if somebody dropped a rat and killed it,” she said.
Meanwhile, Operation Rescue founder, and seriously deranged individual Randall Terry, isn't weeping for Tiller either. Instead, he's making creepy videos for his followers:
