"Even the title of the video they are here to >>promote, 'The Ultimate Target of the Gay Agenda,' demonstrates their >>paranoid visions. They promote themselves as 'pro-family' as if those of >>us who don't hate gays are anti-family." >> >>Terry is associated with people like Bill Horne, Paul Hill, now on death >>row in Florida for the murders of two people, and Gary McCullough of >>Operation Rescue, who, in his own treatise on violence wrote, "I look >>forward to the next time I turn on the radio and hear that an abortionist >>has been shot. I will rejoice in it..." Horne was involved in the video >>production of "The Godmakers," which is a much refuted anti-Mormon piece. >> >>Quote from Randall Terry: >>"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to >>let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good... Our goal is a >>Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer >>this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism." >>- The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, IN August, 16, 1993 >> >> >> >>********************************* >> >>What would you say to Randall Terry? Now's your chance. He'll be in >>Hawaii this week. >> >>Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, the anti-choice organization >>claimed by convicted murderer Paul Hill to be his inspiration, will be here >>to promote another message of hate this week. He and a group of ministers >>have scheduled a press conference at the State capitol, Thursay, February >>29, at 9:30 a.m. They will be pushing their video, "The Ultimate Target of >>the Gay Agenda," and trying to influence our state. >>Please join the Progressive Alliance of the Hawaii Green Party and Youth >>Party, along with the Hawaii Chapter of N.O.W. in a demonstration of peace >>and tolerance in front of the State Capitol at 9:15 a.m on Thursday.
