That’s right. On July 26 to 29, 2007 in Milwaukee, WI, the Neocon wing nuts held a memorial for the Christian Terrorist Paul Hill complete with re-enactment of his crime:
Saturday, July 28Early am – abortion mill demonstration10:00 am ? Public preaching11:00 am ? Re-enactment11:30 am ? News conference12:00 pm ? Parade12:30 pm ? Pizza in the parkEvening ? Picnic tba
Okay, so there is no end to the craziness of these Neocon theocratic wing nuts. They have declared war on secular America and are spilling the blood of innocent doctors. I know their position, but it doesn’t alter the fact that these medical professionals murdered by Christian terrorists like Hill and Rudolph were engaged in legal activities that is responsible for stopping the butchering of innocent girls and women by supplying them with professional medical care. It is totally indefensible for the Neocon theocratic wing nuts to hold celebrations to memorialize murderers. So who is for pizza in the park with your favorite homegrown religious domestic terrorist?Peter Nuhn

From Webster
This definition doesn’t refer to “everyone” or “all the time”. No group or individual would meet the definition if it did.
What:
That definition isn’t particularly enlightening though. It uses terror” in the definition, so it still leaves open the question of what “terror” is.
My impression of what a terrorist is, is someone who kills (or otherwise harms) indiscriminately. I don’t think Paul Hill et al. fit the bill.
But then again perhaps my feeling of what terrorism is doesn’t jibe with the majority opinion. And that would make me wrong, even if I still believe my definition of terrorism is more useful as a word and concept than a broader sense of the term.
Unfortunately it’s not up to me
I do feel like the words “terror”, “terrorism”, and “terrorist” are evolving, and it would be interesting to see how the senses of these words have changed over the years (if indeed they have). I’m certainly not the one to do that kind of research though.
Apple,
I disagree. I think people like Paul Hill and Eric Rudolph are terrorists because their actions are intended to inspire terror in abortion providers, as well as to “defend the unborn.” It’s like the 9/11 terrorists; they sought both to kill Americans and to terrorize Americans they did not kill.
I was thinking the same thing as Rusty. Terrorism is used as a means to strike fear in a group (or groups) of people. I’m sure this nut job struck fear in abortion doctors everywhere (or at least heightened their fear).

You say that you don’t believe Hill or Rudolph are terrorists because they conducted murder. The pro-forced pregnancy people do not just engage in murder though. They also hound the little children of doctors in their schools, they terrorize medical personnel at their homes, they conduct arson and bombings and then plant anti-personnel bombs to go off when police and fire rescue show up for the first instance. Yes Apple, these are all examples of Christian Terrorists, whether you are peeved or not.
Sick people. Did anyone notice that they named all the fetuses with biblical names?
No doubt the Mormons will try to baptize them (the fetuses).
Apple, don’t forget that Paul Hill and Eric Rudolph also inspired to strike terror into the hearts of every pregnant woman (and man [pregnant by proxy]). That way these xian terrorists would have succeded in the abolition of abortion by using terror.
I was there. Photos and comments on my blog:
