Actually, he has taken up for Terry Schiavo, which I appreciate. My wife and I had been getting so annoyed by him as of late, but Michael Smerconish shows us it could be a lot worse. I could go on and on about Sean Hannity. One example--he goes on an on about how sacred a life is, and how abortion at any point is wrong. Then he says that it is okay in the case of rape or incest. How can he argue that abortion is murder unequivocably, but then say that the murder is okay if it is preceded by rape or incest?
As for Smerconish, he can be annoying but he went to heroic lengths to tell the truth about cop killer Mumia. I attended a huge dinner Smerconish put together to honor the fallen policeman and it was from Smerconish at that dinner I learned how strong the evidence was against Mumia (e.g. eyewitness who watched Mumia do the killing, fall to the curb and be arrested).
Oh I see what you're saying. I guess he is rather hypocritical in that sense. Besides, he shouldn't assume abortion will ever "help" a rape victim. Abortion just re-victimizes her by violating her body in another horrible way.
Do you remember when Smerconish went to Cuba and sucked up to Castro. He asked him some asinine question about Frank Rizzo, as if the decrepit old creep had any idea who he was. Lost all my respect for Smerconish.
I've said the same thing. Michael and Sean have some similar traits, but Michael is far more Liberal and in every way far worse. Sean (I disagree with you I think Sean is conservative) at least seems to be sincere about caring for people.
