After searching the White House dot Gov web site, I could only find the following statement from President Obama on the murder of Dr. Tiller, MD.
"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."
Has the "right to chose" platform of the Obama campaign faded into the recesses of tepid statements on the death of a prominent right-wing target? The United States is quick to condemn individuals and groups as terrorists. Why has there been a reluctance to condemn violent anti-abortion groups and individuals as terrorists, too?

You've given me some food for thought, eProf. When is a murder simply a murder? When does it become terrorism or a hate crime? I hope someone knows the definition.
Now that you mention it..... good point.
