Why are news reports reluctant to point to The Army Of God.....
...when covering Pete King's inquisition hearings?

The group of anti-abortion terrorists matches exactly the fingerprints presented by every one of King's fellow investigators. The Army Of God members, which in the past have included Scott Roeder and Olympic Park Bomber Eric Rudolph, have a legacy of carnage and fear that dates back to the early '80s. They "radicalize" Christians in churches across the US and conspire to cover members activities. Other Christians could be said not to do enough to expose this radical element where they know it to exist.

The Army Of God was believed to actively aid in Eric Rudolph's plight when he was on the run for more than two years after he killed one and injured one hundred eleven in Atlanta. His stated goal was to create an aura of fear and the ultimate cancellation of the 1996 Olympic games. Though abortion was his pet cause, abject terror was his tool as evidenced by his choice to kill random victims not associated with abortion.

I wish one reporter would ask a King supporter "why don't you include The Army Of God in your investigations?". Two sides of the same coin, but when flipped, at least half the time it comes up Republican.

I guess I answered my own question.

3. Army of God has 'Favored Terrorist Group' status among Republicans.

That's all there is to it.
