Campaign Says Anti-Abortion Ad Should Have Been Aborted
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 21 Sep 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/21/2008 10:04:33 AM PDT by John Semmens

The Obama campaign lashed out at a McCain ad featuring abortion survivor Gianna Jessen. In the ad, Jessen credited the medical aid she received for saving her life after she survived an abortion attempt 31 years ago. She went on to point out that similar aid is now routinely denied and excoriated presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) for his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act when he was in the Illinois Senate.

The Obama campaign called Jessen’s testimony “biased and invalid.” “If it weren’t for the incompetence of her mother’s doctor she wouldn’t be making these comments today,” said campaign spokesman Damien Thorn. “We’re only hearing her side of it. What about the burdens inflicted on her mother because of the botched medical procedure?”

Thorn characterized the McCain campaign as “vile and despicable” for its “exploitation of this poor misbegotten woman for political gain.” “The Jessen ad is a mistake that should have been aborted before it saw the light of day,” Thorn contended. “Preventing such mistakes in the future will be a key component of the Obama Administration starting next January.”

Remarkably all the writer had to do was go to Obama's discussion of a the Illinois legislation to complete the satire.

That's because this is not really satire ~ just a dramatization in a different venue of what Obama was up to ~ killing babies.

He has no soul.

Holy Cow. Is Obama saying that the doc was an incompetent abortionist or the girl wouldn’t be alive to say these things?

Is he trying to say you should only go to competent abortionist?

And the worry of what it put her mother through...hardships...because of an incompetent abortionist.

WHEW!

I noticed that as well, that is a disgusting claim to make, as if the Dr should have been a more competent assassin and the woman would have been silenced?

That is sick.

The only difference between this sarcasm and the real thing is that the Obama people wouldn’t say so openly, in so many words, though they would clearly have the same idea: that if only the abortionist had done his job correctly this criticism wouldn’t be out there at all and that under an Obama administration such mistakes won’t happen again.

And one more difference. In the real world the Obama campaign doesn’t have to say much since the media is already doing their work for them.

“Now I get it. It is satire. Okay, thank goodness.”

I would opine that although this may be intended as satire, a better description might be “a slight exaggeration” of BHO’s diabolical position.

You out-do yourself, John! You have a great gift. Pointing out rank hypocrisy is an important public service. Sadly, it’s notable for its absence in the MSM with the exception of a few editorial cartoons by the likes of Ramirez.

I’m reading this as satire. Am I correct?

Either way it’s a sad commentary on one political party when you can’t readily tell reality from satire.

Yes, I think you did. I had to read it a few times myself. What an evil and heartless thing to say. That's liberal "compassion" for you.

Killing living babies for political gain. If you have ever seen Satan dressed in a suit, Obama would be it.

I know this is meant to be satire, but that Hussein is an executioner of little babies is fact.
