John McCain also pals around with domestic terrorists

| | Comments (1)

If you believe that Barack Obama pals around with domestic terrorists, well, then, by the standards set by the McCain campaign, so does John McCain.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the man the McCain campaign used to agitate the rubes about the acts of the Weather Underground, John Murtagh, is a lawyer who represented violent anti-abortion protesters.

The story says: "From 1999 to 2001, Mr. Murtagh served as a pro-bono lawyer for the Rev. John T. Murphy, a leader of a group of antiabortion protesters who spent years picketing outside Long Island Gynecological Services in Garden City, N.Y. Rev. Murphy ran a charity called 'Save the Babies,' records show.

"According to a 1995 Nassau County, N.Y., court decision involving the clinic, the Nassau County Police Department was called to the premises at least 17 times in 1994 and 1995 to investigate reports of physical assault, harassment, bomb threats and in four cases, the firing of bullets into windows.

"A 72-year-old woman who worked for another business in the building told police that two protesters grabbed her from behind, dragged her down a hall, and slammed her into a wall before running off, leaving her with bruises and back pain. She told police she believed the protesters had mistaken her for a clinic employee because she had been wearing a white nurse's uniform.

"Threatening notes were left at the clinic, including one stating 'Danger' and 'This is a war zone.' A protester threw a piece of lead at a building manager, missing the man but breaking the car window of the building's owner, the police records cited by the New York court show."
