But perhaps in the future, you could check your facts before smearing millions of good people...

But don't smear an entire movement with complaints that don't actually track with reality.

I'm going to be as polite as I can in the face of this absurd charge.

I have done nothing more than to describe some things I have read here. If you interpreted my dispensing of that information as an intended reflection of every individual in the pro-life movement, then whether deliberately or unintentionally, you misunderstood me.

I have "smeared" no one (but you sure love using that word, don'tcha?). The suggestion that I have is wrong, and it offends me deeply.

And if it's all the same to you, I won't rely on your version of "reality" to determine whether or not I actually witnessed something, and the impression it made on me. As sure of yourself as you apparently are, I still have more confidence in myself than I have in you, sitetest.

It's no use. He can't see the problem or the consequences, because in his reality, this sort of offensive behavior is just fine.

Dear DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet,

"I have 'smeared' no one..."

"I've read threads on FreeRepublic with hard-core pro-lifers posting their refusal to condemn the killer of an abortion clinic doctor. Maybe the movement - referring to the entire movement here, not simply your circle of real-life friends and acquaintances - contains a broader range of attitudes than you believe it does. I don't think Trinity_Tx is mistaken for recognizing that, and I would hope you wouldn't take such personal offense to it."

I don't know, looks like a smear to me. I have argued that these sorts of people are on the very fringe, are not at all common, and thus, aren't very meaningful to the discussion. You seem to disagree.

Instead of agreeing that folks like this are the extreme exception, you appear to be generalizing them to a much larger part of the movement.

But we can agree to disagree. ;-)
