Right Wing Rift: Operation Rescue targets Pat Robertson
It appears as if the rift forming in the Right over which candidate, if any, to back in the Republican Presidential primary has been exponentially exacerbated by Pat Robertson’s decision to back Rudy Giuliani.

And while many of his erstwhile allies have limited themselves to publicly blasting Robertson for his decision, it looks as if Randall Terry and whatever remains of Operation Rescue are set to turn the whole thing, as they always do, into a public spectacle:

"I am literally sick to my stomach over Dr. Robertson's decision. He wrote a forward to my book, Operation Rescue, I have been on the 700 Club, I have spoken at Regent University, CBN helped me get started in radio, and the attorneys of the ACLJ have been heroic advocates for our pro-life mission.

"This is what happens when a leader puts party ahead of principle; it corrupts ones ability to reason consistently. We can only pray that this horrific decision of Dr. Robertson is ignored by the 'Christian Right' and the 'Christian Coalition,' and that he comes to his senses quickly. God have mercy on him, and give long life to him."

Demonstration at CBN, with News Conference

When: Saturday, November 10, 1:30 – 2:30 P.M. (ET)

Where: CBN Washington DC Headquarters, 1919 M Street, NW, between 19th and 20th.

Who: Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, and pro-life activists from the Washington DC area.

"This is what happens when a leader puts party ahead of principle; it corrupts ones ability to reason consistently."

I wish some people here would think about that before backing candidates.
