I wouldn't be scared; she's not that bright, just honest. She even admits:
"In all candor, I expect that if I did not know Judge Alito, I may have responded to the nomination with the same distrust, fear and suspicion with which I usually respond to everything the Bush administration does..."
In other words..."Bush is evil. Normally all his decisions are evil, but this decision was good since I know and understand the rationale behind it. Bush may make additional decisions in the future which I can personally relate to, and therefore, will also be good, but until then, anything else he does which I don't understand will continue to be evil."
Typical liberal self-centeredness.
You are spot on. This article only proposes that the "conservative that I know" is OK but all other conservatives are evil. It's the same mentally that leads people to conclude that all doctors are money grubbing quacks except for my doctor who is really a good guy. I doubt she learned much about people's beliefs if this reflects her thinking about Judge Alito vis a vis conservatives in general.
