After reading that you have to ask which 'side' he is on? That list of publications is the right's right. The author brings up some valid concerns about the President's wife. And when she stepped into the fray on this issue with ridiculous claims that sexism 'may' have something to do with a nominee who isn't qualified for the job, her and her opinions are fair game and should be scrutinized
Those of you who agree with this article, are clearly in the dark and ignorant of the facts.
Might I suggest that you get your information from somewhere other than the MSM?
This author...........even if it actually is who you think it is, which I highly doubt........cannot be taken seriously.
It seems the piece was written almost as a conversation would occur. I like the style. Factual errors, it seems the author provided supporting evidence with urls for each argument.The woman, nor her husband, is a saint. They are not above reproach. As I said, if she's going to stick herself into the public form of discussion, she's fair game
You're absolutely right. That better? :o)
Funny, many of the people against Miers would be doing backflips if Janice Rogers Brown was the pick. I don't see how sexism or elitist-ism has anything to do with it here.
Why bring the "not a saint or above reproach" charge into the discussion, bill? There's not a person on this forum who believes that.......certainly not me....... but it is an argument used against our points repeatedly. It's not a valid argument under any circumstances, and yet it is a common weapon used against us.
And yes, there ARE factual errors in this article, which I have enumerated above. It is filled with misinformation and half truths, which amount to lies.
Besides which, it is extremely poorly written, and not likely the work of an experienced author. It's junk, and I am frankly surprised that a man as intelligent and well read as you are, is here defending it.
No.
Look at the posting history on this one. She/he never responds. Just posts and runs.
Wow; you mean that literally, don't you? "Never" as in "not even once."
That's Classic Troll Behavior{tm}.
Dan
Is she Pro-Choice?
There is no reason to believe that the Lady is a liar.
I still think that they are out to DESTROY her.
The idea that they are being held back by some rule like...she's perfect and a saint, therefore immune from criticism...but oh dear, we'll stick our toe in that water anyway...is RIDICULOUS. They want to RUIN her. This is over the top, starting with the headline, and is clearly calculated to bring her down to zero in public (conservative) estimation if they possibly can.
So, bill, please don't try that "what is she, a saint?" line, ok? Not gonna cut it.
I'll have to check but I think she said that she supports her husband's opinion but does not subscribe to them??? Could be wrong but I also seem to recall her commenting on abortion (Roe v. Wade) during the 2000 election?
In this case, there IS no substance to their argument.
This article is a piece of junk...........and I tend to agree that it is an attempt to destroy Laura in order to destroy her husband.
The left will do anything to accomplish that end, and falsely accusing the First Lady is certainly not beneath these bottom dwellers....
It was recently that she voiced very clearly that she was pro-life. She's not an activist obviously, and I disagree with her statement that Roe should not be overturned, but it does not follow that she is pro-abortion (people who think abortion is OK in the cases of rape or incest might well think that it should not be completely illegal).
Her direct statement that life begins at conception and that she is pro-life are better indicators of what she believes............unless one thinks she is a liar.
(For the record, stopping abortions is my primary issue).
Great, objective article.
