Phil's in the right ballpark. Terry's been a celebrity whackjob in the anti-abortion movement for decades, advocating violence and murder, alleged to be tied to clinic bombings and murders of doctors though his direct involvement has never been proven. Nobody, including Terry himself, would deny his culpability as ideologue and agitator. A thoroughly ugly human being.
I would not be so foolish as to hold up this scum as representative of the Republican Party in general. But I can't fail to point out that Terry justifiably feels that his star is on the rise because GOP rhetoric in recent years sanctions his beliefs, and the party has actively reached out to his segment of the population. The GOP can't publicly disavow Randall Terry; it has to ride the tiger it created.
