Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry failed to draw a crowd to his news conference at the National Press Club today about, among other things, the recent murder of Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.

Terry repeated his previous statements regarding Tiller’s culpability for “child-killing,” but added a new rhetorical flavor to the argument by comparing Tiller’s murderer to Nat Turner — the leader of an 1831 slave rebellion in Southampton County, Va. in which dozens of white slave owners were killed.
