Tank Lady Update<\/p>\n
Hey, fringies! Good be with you again. The Feds are back in town spending millions to bring anti-abortionists to (Reno-style) justice for $500 in damages. They packed up their star chamber equipment and headed to Tidewater, Virginia having had their rear ends kicked out of town by Cheryl Richardson (with the help of expose provided by the Post and the Times). Resuming the multi-million inquisition there, they announced two indictments on 26 March, the day after a GJ hearing. Desperate to get the biography of every last picketer, Reno apparently needed to justify continuation of the probe by trumpeting these indictments. Post writer Charlie Hall (26 Jan.) had reported the fact that the Justice Department probe had begun with the knowledge that the evidence theretofore discovered by FBI and ATF supported no national conspiracy. And CBS’s Dan Rather had reported the fact that no conspiracy had been discovered to date (22 Jan.).
\nBut Clinton and his Tank Lady were not fazed by the facts. They happily pursued an harassment campaign against anti-abortion activist and continue so to the present. With renewed temerity, Janet has resumed her grand jury hearings in Alexandria, having skipped the month of February. Inquisitor-in-chief Thomas Burrows subpoenaed Dan Bray, the brother of your editor, on 26 March to ask about “the Manual” and the terrorist deeds of Jack Humphries.<\/p>\n
Not much news from out on the fringie front. We especially miss those butyric stink bomb reports. Ah . . . those were the days! The Rad Fringe Department was hopping! Glad tidings were going forth, and the prisoners’ hearts were singing. Now our RF correspondents are sweating; fearful of losing their jobs, they have bitten off all their fingernails. Oh for the hey days of Shelley Shannon. Perhaps another will receive a double portion of her spirit!<\/p>\n
Felisone’s “Nashville Statement” <\/p>\n
Last June, Henry Felisone issued an ethical apology on the use of force to stop abortion to the Nashville press where he was living at the time. In the wake of recent Hill and Salvi events the press was expressing much interest in the new prolife fad. So Felisone sent out a statement on the moral justification, elaborating a bit on the subject. The statement, as Felisone recalls, “asserted that it would be morally correct to use even truck bombs or poison gas to destroy an abortion installation. Occupied or not.” <\/p>\n
We haven’t seen the statement, but we shall certainly mull the matter over should we get the opportunity to read it. It is important to discuss both sides of an issue before coming to a personal conclusion. But whatever we decide, we just ask you folks not to judge, ’cause God loves everybody and wants everyone to go to heaven. (Huh? Did I say that?)<\/p>\n
In the meantime there is some good news coming as a result of Mr. Felisone’s statement. Sources say that the local college of Ob-Gyns is asking Tennessee abortionists to quit because of “terrorist action” which might segue from the statement, thus threatening the profession of legitimate Ob-Gyns. According to Mr. Felisone’s source, “At least twenty abortion clinic staffers have resigned so far.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
