As we reported earlier, Rev. Flip Benham, who distributed “Wanted” posters with the names and home addresses of abortion doctors, was found guilty of misdemeanor stalking and was slapped with a great big sentence of … probation. Yep, put together some fliers that implicitly urge violence against someone, pass them around, and what does the state say? Hey, not a biggie, we’ll just give you probation. The problem here, of course, is that abortion doctors have been attacked, and even murdered, by anti-abortion zealots, and for Benham to then fan those same flames is dangerous, reckless and irresponsible — as is the court’s decision to not send a warning shot across the bow of right-wing extremists. Here is an interview with a North Carolina doctor who was the subject of one of Benham’s “Wanted” posters. It’s from the Rachel Maddow Show.

This man should have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. He put a death warrant on this Doctor’s head. I cannot believe he go by with it.
Umm, you know, Frank, (Frank Griffin, aka Billy Bob), this particular post is a perfect example of your sad state of mind and your inability to make logical connections — and a good display of how strongly your “obsessive” gene is working.
First, the fact that you follow this blog enough that you can refer back to months-old posts by yours truly is truly pathetic. Second, I gave the address of a man in Georgia who was arrested for slapping a kid in a Wal-Mart. He wasn’t my “opponent,” his address was listed in the Atlanta newspaper, and I certainly didn’t put his picture on a “Wanted” poster, which would automatically bring gunplay to mind. And third, how does “liberal is as liberal does” remotely apply here, since you’re comparing my actions to that of a guy who is so far to the right, he’s fallen off the cliff? Come on, Frank, put down the bottle and try again. You can do better.
You’re right, Groomy. I am Frank Griffin. And I am a moron. I’m wrong all the time, but I’m too stuppid to realize it. See that? I can’t even spell stupidd right! I’m a sad, lonely, clueless twit of a man who gets all of his ideas from hack right-wing bloviators. My next original thought will be my first. I had any balls at all I would stick my head in the toilet and drown myself.
