"*snort of derisive laughter* Morse should be happy. The Examiner is such a disaster of a newspaper - even by the standards of San Francisco, which is generally acknowledged in the industry to have the worst newspapers of any major city in the United States - that the posting of her column posted here probably resulted in it reaching ten times as many readers.

She is right about one thing, though;

any thread that touches on anything even slightly related to abortion - as her column did - is guaranteed to bring out of the woodwork the worst psychopaths FR has to offer.
I don't doubt for a minute that she got some truly vicious, ultrawacko emails from some of them." - Timesink

Good analysis, Timesink!

Personally, I do not care very much about what a "second-rate writer at a third-rate newspaper" has to say about this forum.

I do care, however, that some of the "loose cannons" around here may have given us ALL a bad name by sending her some poorly-considered inflammatory attacks - in the name of Free Republic - that can be used against the good name of this noble endeavor. At least if such bone-headed comments are made HERE, we have the option of hitting the "abuse" button, and getting those inappropriate rants pulled.

That said, I am proud to be associated with any group of people who can generate a comment as elegant as the one from MissAmericanPie that Ms. Morse quoted in her "hit" piece:

"May her uterus be as barren as her soul.
I pity the unlucky man that finds his way there, or the baby that tries to find warmth, love, or life in that cold, void, steel locker she calls her uterus." - MissAmericanPie

Way to go, MissAmericanPie!!! Now, THAT is good writing!

I didn't see the original column, but, personally, although I am pro-life, I am not happy about Bush and Tommy using this to expand a federal program, but then, I'm more of a rabid "Cut Federal Social Programs" type.

If she'd have received 1 nasty email from a "loose cannon" and 99 others from sane, reflective, intelligent Freepers, she would have focused on the one as representative of what goes on here. That's just the way it is, and we all know it. Freep on, folks!

I wonder how many of those Emails were sent by Liberals to denigrate Conservatives and FR.

Amen. And a major bump to boot.

One kind soul e-mailed me an alert that the column had been posted on FreeRepublic.com, "The Premier Conservative News Forum,"

Hehe, I like that.

Thank you for the ping to this article. Upon reading the orginal column, I understand that there would be a lot of venting about the criticism of Bush, and, of course, the ensuing comments about abortion. However, this is a lib columnsit, writing for a VERY liberal paper, and there is not one comment that could persuade her to a pro life position. I believe on this topic, the following quote is applicable:

"It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason as to administer medication to the dead."--Thomas Jefferson

Thanks for the ping RonDog and ditto regarding MissAmericanPie's comments. The irony of Debby's claim of "privacy" for her uterus is overbearing on the heals of what NOW and Planned Parenthood call V-Day, Vagina Day, when we are treated to public performances of the Vagina Monologues and public displays of female private parts as "art." "Privacy" is only invoked when they want to do something very bad to someone very innocent that even they are ashamed to make public.
