ALBUQUERQUE, NM On Saturday, June 21, Protest ABQ held a public awareness campaign in a local neighborhood when a man, identified by group members as Jay McCleskey, Gov. Susana Martinezs Re-Election Campaign Manager and Chief Campaign Strategist, confronted the pro-life activists stating, You are all pieces of S***!
The pro-life community has been asking Gov. Martinez what she is willing to do to STOP pre-born child killing in New Mexico. We have been completely ignored until today, stated a pregnant and astonished Tara Shaver who was present with her husband and children. Several members of our group identified Mr. McCleskey and heard his vulgarity and harsh words.

He said he met pro-lifers who were jerks, (to make the term more PG) not that they were jerks because they were pro-life.
I guess my characterization of a POS vs. a jerk has alot of breadth between the two...it takes a lot for me to characterize someone as a POS...
Meaning, they are of no value...pure excrement.
What did towson say then? I’m waiting for a reply from the poster vs. others jumping in to defend...thanks.
The other person commenting in the article if Father Stephen Imbarrato of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. He is part of Father Frank Pavone's Priests for Life.
I would like to have other pro-life folks comment on this...
Easy. They are the ones who only hold life dear as long as the woman isn't unduly inconvenienced. I call them "soup kitchen" types.
Suggest there's something fundamentally hypocritical about men contributing to a woman obtaining an abortion when she has sole controlling authority on the matter, and can unilaterally force him to pay years of child-support predicated on her "decision" about her "reproductive rights," and they screech like banshees.
The fact is, every single abortion in this country is perpetrated at the order of the "mother," and every attempt to dilute that responsibility is an exercise in moral and social evasion.
Have you ever heard of ‘The Dirty Dozen’ of WWII who stood up for the free people of the world?
Welcome to "pro-lifers who are 'jerks,'" tactic number one....
Sometimes they are a IN-YOUR-FACE type of people because they are dedicated to their pro-life mission.
Some people, such as this campaign manager, may take offense to such people as Operation Rescue.
This is just an attempt to over-simplify what may have happened and exclude the use of vulgarities...
Regardless, campaign managers need to be above the antics of the people they run into for they represent the campaign of the person they work for...
Fox calls her a “devout Catholic” she sounds like a RINO AND A CINO,
I call BS on this story. This is most likely crap the opposition is throwing out ala Saul Alinsky.
Come to Texas and say that.
Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:
(1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;
So?
!!!!
It looks like Freepers are on top of this and recognize a trumped up fake story
WE are smart aren’t we?:)
“What did towson say then? “
Good grief! It’s right there in Towsoncrs’ post. If you need it explained more clearly, read Politicalkiddo’s post.
Her husband has been in law enforcement for about 30 years.
She has a step-son in the US Navy...
Sounds like a pretty decent person...
The real question is on the campaign manager...
Pretend I’m ignorant and enlighten me as to how that is even remotely comparable to calling pro-lifers pieces of $hit.

I find it quite interesting that there are many other FReepers jumping in to defend the statement, but have yet to hear from the OP.
I asked for clarification from the OP.
And to put it simply I don’t find the terms “POS” and “jerks” remotely comparable...
Carry on...sorry to have inconvienenced anyone.
Governor Martinez is pro-life and against same sex marriage. This centers around the actions of her campaign manager.
In fairness to him, he may have been offended by the very Graphic Abortion Pictures, but that is the purpose in them. Some Pro-Lifers are against the use of them because they are uncomfortable
It would be nice to know if Father Stephen Imbarrato was there and if he could relate what happened...
Having been involved in such displays, it can hit a nerve with some people.
It just may be that the person who had the outburst was also the campaign manager for Governor Martinez.
That would not reflect badly on her.
And for the campaign manager, all people make mistakes...
So what? The FReeper to whom I was responding was under the impression that she is a Democrat.
