Domestic terrorist Randall Terry, who has warned of “random acts of violence” and violent "reprisals against those deemed guilty" if healthcare reform is passed, is currently on a 10-city freakshow tour of the south.

terry1Yesterday, the freakshow went to Louisville, KY, where Terry performed a “skit” with two “actors”. Dressed as a doctor (after stabbing a baby doll), he stabbed someone playing an old women in the neck, with a sign behind him reading “Obama death-care. One dead patient at a time.” He then shook the hand of a white guy in an Obama mask over the woman on the ground.

Oh, and the politician’s office that was the target of this “protest”? Mitch McConnell, he of the 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee over the last 10 years. Because? He hasn’t opposed Obama’s health care plan enough. Mitch McConnell hasn’t.

This is true, unbridled insanity.

Though no one attended his idiotic display besides two journalists in Louisville, a 13 and 14-year old who witnessed Terry in Nashville had this to say:

"I think this is a disgrace," said 13-year-old Jontrez London of Nashville. "Obama's trying to save people. He ain't gonna try to kill an old lady."

Another baby doll went flying and 14-year-old Malcolm Wells shook his head and sighed.

"These are adults acting like children," he said.

Not children. These are psychopathic violent people, who have every intention to act on it, if given the opportunity. And if the Justice Department lets their guard down, Dr. Tiller’s tragedy can happen again.

With Dr. Leroy Carhart’s federal Marshall protection recently withdrawn, Operation Rescue is now set to descend on his clinic in Nebraska this weekend to “keep it closed”, referring to Carhart’s intention to re-open Tiller’s clinic in Kansas.

If you live in Kansas and Nebraska, the local NOWs are organizing massive counter-demonstrations for the entire weekend, which you can find out about at the links above.

But in all seriousness, this should not be the job of private citizens to defend doctors and patients from potential terrorists. Call Attorney Gen. Holder (202-353-1555) and demand that the Justice Department return federal Marshall protection for Dr. Carhart, immediately.
