"From 1999 to 2001, Mr. Murtagh served as a pro-bono lawyer for the Rev. John T. Murphy, a leader of a group of antiabortion protesters who spent years picketing outside Long Island Gynecological Services in Garden City, N.Y. Rev. Murphy ran a charity called "Save the Babies," records show.

According to a 1995 Nassau County, N.Y., court decision involving the clinic, the Nassau County Police Department was called to the premises at least 17 times in 1994 and 1995 to investigate reports of
A 72-year-old woman who worked for another business in the building told police that two protesters grabbed her from behind, dragged her down a hall, and slammed her into a wall before running off, leaving her with bruises and back pain. She told police she believed the protesters had mistaken her for a clinic employee because she had been wearing a white nurse's uniform.

Threatening notes were left at the clinic, including one stating "Danger" and "This is a war zone." A protester threw a piece of lead at a building manager, missing the man but breaking the car window of the building's owner, the police records cited by the New York court show.

Rev. Murphy had been acquitted of criminal trespassing charges twice in 1998 relating to his protesting at the clinic. In both cases, the judge ruled that Rev. Murphy hadn't been aware he'd been on private property and that his free-speech rights were protected."

2. not sure, though, if dems should make the argument
b/c our position is the truth: Obama does not pal around with any terrorists and did NOT pal around with Ayers

so, maybe dems should not even go there....????

3. They are all Radical's at this point
Have you seen the "rallys"? It's something out of Triumph of the Will without any style or class, just the hate and fear-mongering.

4. It's GOOD to see a WSJ article on this, Think Progress had something about this a few weeks ago
But of course only us "Lefties" would read Think Progress. Whereas a lot of conservatives read the WSJ.

McCain seems to Support Domestic Terrorists who make threats and even act out on those treats. Killing Doctors, bombing clinics, harassing patients. McCain :loveya: DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
