A proud terrorist. His tactics may differ somewhat, but his opinions are in line with the Republican platform (NYT/AP):

An anti-abortion extremist was convicted of 51 counts Wednesday for mailing hundreds of envelopes of fake anthrax to women's clinics. The jury deliberated for about two hours.

Clayton Waagner, who once was on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted'' list, concluded his defense Wednesday by telling the jury that he was a proud terrorist and that people who provide abortions should be shot.

Waagner, who represented himself, is already serving 49 years in prison for car theft and weapons violations.

In a rambling closing argument, Waagner said he was "tickled'' that letters containing death threats and white powder disrupted operations at clinics in 24 states in 2001. He said only his abhorrence for killing prevented him from doing "what I should have done: shooting them, abortionists and clinic workers, in the head.''

It's obvious he's just a pathetic loser, but his views are indeed reflective of the current sentiment on the right.
