Today: Katie's Krokodile Tears [More Concern for Baby Alligator than Human Life]
The Today Show | governsleast governsbest

Posted on 05/26/2005 4:24:33 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It was just a throw-away line on a throw-away filler piece. Yet in its own way it was deeply revealing of the liberal mindset.

At the end of its top-of-the-hour news recap, Today ran a piece about a Florida family that had found a small alligator lounging in its backyard swimming pool. Today aired footage of authorities roping and removing the reptile.

Katie then murmured "gee, I hope it will be released and be OK," with Matt Lauer ominously informing Katie that things sometimes don't work out too well for the alligator in such situations.

So there it was. Katie's crocodile tears for . . . a crocodile. OK, an alligator, but who's counting?

Yet another example of the liberal mindset at work. From snail darters to spotted owls to baby seals to alligators, liberal hearts bleed at the thought of any harm being done to animals.

But 40 million and counting babies aborted since Roe v. Wade? Hey, when's the next march where we can "celebrate a woman's right to choose"? Starving and dehydrating Terri Schiavo to death? Hey, her life wasn't meaningful anyhow.

I might add regarding post #36, an IV may be appropriately added to my coffee pot to correct my grammar.

Why am I a troll because I disagree with him?

Many thanks, PAIC. I've hung in there so far with softwarecreator, but I don't feel that he has seriously responded to my evidence of Katie's liberalism or my justification for tracking liberal bias at Today.

How?

You're talking all wrong to my guy glgb. It's the wrong tone.

Yes, I did read the post, and I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the appropriateness of the analogy.

You're welcome, and I agree. I feel he is trying to bait you. Take care!

Please explain why it is "lame" to suggest that, just as it's worthwhile for the CIA to track military opponents, it's worthwhile for others, including myself, to track and expose political opponents?

Did you read the actual post? It was a lame analogy, pure and simple.

I disagree. Apparently, you don't understand how the heart of a $7500 an hour greenie baby-killer works. I submit that glgb has observed the wenchlette long enough to divine her intent with some accuracy.

Okay.  Obviously disagreeing is wrong on this thread ... I will no longer do that.

I agree 100% with you GLGB and will never think of questioning one of your posts again, lest I be a 'TROLL' or 'DISRUPTOR'.

I will move on to another thread and leave you great folks to continue as you were.

Before you go, please indicate whether you read the link posted at #64 in which Whoopi Goldberg makes clear that she and Katie both participated in a pro-choice march.

No.  I am being called a 'troll', 'disruptor' and accused of 'baiting you' because I questioned how a story about an alligator relates to abortion and the Terri Schiavo story.

Forget it.

You and your friends are right, I am wrong ... let's leave it at that before someone contacts a moderator or whatever.

I humbly apologize for disagreeing with your viewpoint.

I never called you a troll or disruptor, swc. Did you read the MRC piece on Couric and Whoopi Goldberg? It shows that Couric is a barely closeted pro-choice type. Wahhhing over an alligator while cheerleading pulling the heads off full-term babies is an incongruity, to say the least.

Thusly, glgb can say "I think it is entirely fair and revelatory to point out the moral inconsistency of her positions", because the case HAS been made over many years. I myself like using the charge of "hypocrisy", the main weapon of the Left these days.

Disagreeing is one thing--people respectfully disagree all the time here.

Repeatedly baiting a person is another thing, and that's what crosses the line into being a disruptor.

You asked for proof that Katie is pro-choice. You got that proof in a previous post. Did you read the link?

I would suggest you heed your tag line.

And by the way, do you have proof of your contention that Katie was pro-life or at least neutral regarding whether or not Terri Schiavo should be starved to death? Demanding proof is a two-way street.

I have not called you a troll, etc. I've tried to respond in a substantive way to your posts. All things considered it would be fair for you to view the evidence at #64 of Couric's pro-choice sentiments. For you to take umbrage and slip away in high dudgeon is, IMHO, a cop-out.

"gee, I hope it will be released and be OK,"
Sure you do Katie- you're just wanting it to be fattened up into a nice shoe-belt-purse combo for you.
