While these violent activists are more like small-scale untrained terrorists who bomb locations just because of their beliefs.

I just want to make that distinction. Because if someone says there is a terrorist that bomb the abortion clinic, the first thing that comes to my mind is a terrorist from a trained terrorist organization with a lot of bombs and firearms.

So there are three types of terrorists for me (and for me only):
1) World terrorists - the big timers - Hamas, Al Queda
2) Domestic terrorists - like McVeigh
3) Violent activists - like those bombing the abortion clinics.
Why are you splitting hairs? this is ridiculous!!! A terrorist is a terrorist. period. end of story. "Violent activist" my A$$

That logic makes absolutely no sense. There ARE stupid people in this world. It's not name calling. It's an adjective.

If Palin thinks an abortion clinic bomber might NOT be a terrorist, that IS STUPID. Or else she's insane. Take your pick.

Of course bombing clinics is an act of terror, I really don't see how anyone can disagree w/that. Throwing paint on fur....well, I think that's just kind of funny. Ok everyone, gang up on me now for that one.

I beleive that using terrorizing tactics to punish anyone because they don't share your views is terrorism. Especially in this case where you are killing to stop killing, it is hypocritical.

Oh sure I'd be pissed, but then I'd never wear fur. I like to give those fur-wearers a dirty look & maybe a comment or two instead of the paint throwing.
