American Morning’s Wednesday audience was horrified to see the alleged killer of Dr. Tiller being given prominent coverage for his views.
- Gabe: Why is the media bothering to pay attention to Dr. Tiller's killer? He is only a murderous, unrepentant fanatic, a man who thinks he's God. To shower him attention is to fan his self-importance and troubled views. It also comes as a moral slap to the memory of the man he killed in a temple of God. Why don't you try interviewing some of the women whose health and even life Tiller may have saved? In highlighting this murderer you are only pandering to pro-life views. Get your priorities straight. PS. I'm against abortion as such but support it when necessary.
- Carla: You really need to quit glorifying the terrorist Roeder and his terrorist agenda. Why don't you instead do some research and reporting on why women seek abortions, and/or why our society puts such shame and scorn on unwed mothers. I'm really sickened by seeing and hearing this deranged zealot murderer. The Christian Fundamentalist Terrorist Organization is alive, well, murdering, and still planning in America. Beware!
- Paul: I don't know about you're sentiment, but, as far as I'm concerned, life under those tali-baptist religious fanatics that killed Doctor Tiller would likely be no better than life under the murderous tali-ban. Damn all fanatics!!
What do you think about Dr. Tiller’s alleged murderer being given media attention? Would such an action trigger “copy-cat” murders? Should the alleged killer be considered a “terrorist” as suggested by one viewer? Should he be given the right to voice his opinion or should others who are official “spokespersons” be the ones to express themselves?
Some were perplexed by the controversy surrounding the Gitmo detainees being house in a U.S. prison, noting that some of the most notorious prisoners of all time have been safely secured in maximum security centers in the U.S.
Del: This is the silliest controversy yet! The only problem with incarcerating Gitmo detainees in US Prisons is the extra cost of solitary confinement. They will not convert Americans to terrorism because they will not meet them. IF they are put in the general population, they will not survive 48 hours! Think Jeffrey Dahmer. Prisoners are lawbreakers, not traitors. For that matter, what would happen if they were released in the US? I'm sure we'd be glad to come welcome them with shotguns in hand.
What do you think about the Gitmo detainees being incarcerated in U.S. prisons? With so many dangerous criminals successfully housed in such facilities, is this a non-issue as the viewer suggests, or something more serious that needs further examination?
