Terry's latest anti-abortion publicity stunt
By Jacqueline L. Salmon
When it comes to publicity stunts, anti-abortion activist Randall Terry sure knows how to make 'em up. The latest: He is calling on people to burn effigies of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and submit the videos to his Web site as part of a "Burn in Hell" video contest to protest health-care reform. Oh, and call their local media to get coverage.
A YouTube video offers step-by-step instructions on how to construct the 3-foot-by-5-foot effegies, which a person on the video then douses with lighter fluid and lights.
"It's time to start drawing from our proud American history of burning people in effigy," an unidentified man says on the video.
He says the act is a "not a threat to their body, but it is a threat to their soul."

Proud tradition? What will you bet me that this same man gets highly pissy when folks in other countries adopt this time-honored aspect of American culture with images of our leaders?
