McCain/Palin Don’t Consider Abortion Clinic Bombers Terrorists

She’s pretty unintelligible as usual. Seriously, can’t understand what she’s saying for 90% of it, but its intriguing the way they can’t just come out and say an abortion clinic bomber is a terrorist.
Guess they don’t want to offend the base of the base.

UPDATE: Ricky Gervais says Palin is David Brent. Kind of makes sense [...]

What an amazing country!

Nicholas Kristof in the NY Times
The other day I had a conversation with a Beijing friend and I mentioned that Barack Obama was leading in the presidential race:
She: Obama? But he’s the black man, isn’t he?
Me: Yes, exactly.

Me: It looks as if he’ll [...]

Don’t They Have The Google At Con Magazines?

Kathryn Jean Lopez in the conservative National Review

Hiding Sarah

More proof the McCain campaign is going into a bunker: Sarah Palin cancelled an appearance at an anti-choice rally.

Conservatives Remain Blissfully Unaware

Palin Is Against Abortion Even In The Case Of Rape Or Incest

That’s a pretty extreme position Palin’s got going for her there. The latest polling I could find - from Fox no less - shows that 70% support abortion in the case of rape.

Obama And The “Infanticide” Smear (Born Alive Infants Protection Act)

Nuance
‘Obama’ and ‘infanticide’ are being matched in the latest venom eruption on hate-monger sites. For the record, Senator Obama did NOT vote for infanticide while in the Illinois State legislature.
At issue is his vote on a bill entitled, ‘Born Alive Infants Protection Act’ – BAIPA, for short — which was first introduced into the Illinois [...]

Apparently I’m Not A Progressive

At Shakesville, writing about Obama and abortion Kate Harding writes this intriguing bit
Progressives? Do not respect the anti-choice position.
Really? This is the road we’re going to go down now? I think being pro-choice is a necessity for a Democratic candidate. It’s a showstoper for me, and I couldn’t support a presidential candidate who wasn’t pro [...]

How Conservatives Lie: Mike Gallagher Edition

Con radio host Mike Gallagher, adding to the collective race-based attack coming on the right vs. Sen. Obama makes this convenient deception:
When even the Washington Post publishes an article entitled, “Obama’s Abortion Extremism”, you know that something astonishing is going on here.
Wow! The Washington Post published that in an article? Golly, that’s a mighty loaded [...]
