But one day after appearing on ABC's "Prime Time Live" in August, the Salvation Army told Davis's booking agent, Greater Talent Network, Inc., that it no longer wanted her to speak at the event and that neither her fee of $15,000 or a $7,500 cancellation fee would be paid.

I saw the Primetime report in question. Forget Sinclair's show based on Stolen Honor; Davis' segment was a gift-wrapped ABC News valentine to the Kerry campaign disguised as a news story -- the prototype of what the left is accusing Sinclair of doing.

Essentially, Davis was interviewing a teenage girl who had contracted Juvenile Diabetes, and detailed how crushed she and her parents were when President Bush made his compromise and only approved federally-funded research on existing embroyic stem cell lines. The girl joined a march on Washington that coordinated with the Senate testimony of Michael J. Fox, among others. The girl's parents spoke as if Bush's decision was a declaration of death for her daughter.

Naturally, there was no focus on promising studies of adult stem cells or cord blood, painting the picture that only shredded embryos hold hope for the future. And throughout most of the report, Davis was attired in an unflattering peach-colored sleeveless blouse. Ugh.

If I was in charge of the Salvation Army, I would be searching for ways to dump Davis' appearance too. Only I would be more up front about it.

It's amazing these liberals are able to claim that stem cells from destroyed babies are the perfect cure-all for every disease there is. Diabetes? --- easy --- be injected with stem cells from aborted babies --- instant cure. Parkinsons? --- same thing --- instant cure! Alzheimers --- same instant cure. There is no disease destroyed babies' cells can't cure --- it's like the miracle cure --- but nothing but a big lie.
