[ED: This is actually a diary about an appeal being denied...John Burt has stood convicted for months now]
--
When running for State Senator next year, I hope Randall Terry, anti-choice zealot and tireless crusader for the right to live in the vacuum of a persistent vegitative state against your personal will, is asked about his buddy, John Burt.
Here's John: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050729/ap_on_re_us/abortion_protester;_ylt=Au8gBf7ek0Zj2Fb2cbQ4vf5G2ocA

John, it seems, likes to molest little girls living under his care.
::More Right-Wing hypocrisy below::
"Sheriff's deputies took John Burt, 67, into custody Wednesday. A three-judge panel of a state appeals court on Friday unanimously upheld his conviction on five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation or conduct with a child under 16.
Defense lawyer Nicole Ferry said Burt will appeal further.
Burt has been a key figure in anti-abortion protests and violence in nearby Pensacola. He had associated with Michael Griffin, now serving a life sentence for fatally shooting an abortion doctor in 1993, and Paul Hill, executed in 2003 for the shooting deaths of another doctor and clinic escort in 1994."
Nauseating, isn't it? Let's enjoy some of Burt's greatest hits:
"Get rid of the Klan's violence and racial bigotry, and I could work with those people. Fundamentalist Christians and [the KKK] are pretty close, scary close, fighting for God and country. Some day we may all be in the trenches together." -John Burt(http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/files/portal/webzine/eyeonextremism/eoe-050405-prison.xm

"Pensacola's anti-abortion movement became prime time news on Christmas Day 1984, when bombers struck the Ladies Center, saying it was a ''present to Jesus on his birthday.'' Two men were convicted.
During their trial, a man named John Burt surfaced outside the court, showing news reporters a jar containing a preserved fetus. Burt, a former Ku Klux Klan member, said he was the spiritual advisor for the bombers. He called them ``prisoners of war.'' -Miami Herald, 2003

"Execute Murderers and Abortionists." -John Burt's bumper sticker

"1986-MAR: A second clinic was broken into and vandalized; two female employees were assaulted. John Burt, a former member of the KKK, and his daughter were tried and convicted. John Burt became the local leader of Rescue America." -religioustolerance.org (http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_viol.htm)

So how are the violent anti-choice crazies masquerading as penitents taking the Burt arrest for something so unholy as child molestation? Let's go straight to the most insane group of cold-blooded American citizens outside the Ku Klux Klan, those poseurs of piety, those charlatans, frauds, false teachers and horse-fuckers--the so-called "Army of God." Here's their take:
Burt's family says it is impossible, considering Burk's age (66 years old) and his medical problems, e.g. diabetes, heart problems, that he could have committed the deeds of which he is accused. Burt also denies doing anything wrong.
Burt was found guilty of the charges. If he did it, it was a stupid thing to do. I am not convinced he did, but if so, not only is wrong and a sin; but anyone should know, most fifteen year old girls cannot keep their mouth's shut. John having run Our Father's House for young girls would surely know this. Either way, he is a brother and if he has sinned in this area, we should not forsake him, but restore him to the faith."
So, as if we needed another example of how the most sanctimonious are often the most vile and odious, let us add the name of John Burt--conspirator, thug, false teacher, racist and rapist--and let us remember the victims of righteous indignation in our own country, in our own lifetimes.
And God Save the USA.
