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.
