Surely we don’t have to fuss over the classic definition of the word, “liberal”, do we, as applied to Nat, the “liberal icon” exactly described in the title?

And surely we don’t have to pole vault for a snark, to reach some bizarre extrapolation of the word “snit”, by applying it to “30 years” of opposition to abortion and then sticking a question mark on the tail.

Insulting, actually, which should tell you that I am pro-LIFE, making hard to appreciate your humor.

Rita, I did not mean to insult you. You're a valued FReeper and pro-life ally.I fumbled expressing my puzzlement. I just don't understand you giving the back of your hand to Nat Hentoff, an other good ally over all these years. He's been especially helpful in defending the Free Speech and Free Association rights of Pro-lifers, Christians, and Conservatives on college campuses.

What's with saying he's having a "snit" over Obama? He seems to have made a serious moral and political judgment against his unconstitutional policies.
