Ok, the Times report was done to split the right. But the real deal is do we simply say this is an attack from the MSM so it's ok to ignore it, or do we ask the tough questions.

I seem to remember a large number of liberal groups circling the wagons with a President in the late 90's. Conservatives couldn't figure out why they would do that. Seems conservatives are doing the same with Roberts with regard to the Pro Bono work, especially if his coaching and guideance put this case over the top.

So it appears the shoe is on the other foot with regard to the circling the wagons issue. But conservatives have a clear conscience cause the can blame the outing on the MSM. Yeah, that's the ticket. Muddy the water with a blame the MSM.

I have no problems with the asking of tough questions. We are not lemmings. Everything should be vetted. We on the Right normally have robust debates and as a rule we seek to do what is right regarding the country, the Constitution, and each other. Conversely, it is also our greatest weakness.

But conservatives have a clear conscience cause the can blame the outing on the MSM. Yeah, that's the ticket. Muddy the water with a blame the MSM.

With your smarminess aside, it's obvious that the Left always seeks to divide the Right. And this is our weakness. It's so easy to be divided. To easily divided, truth be told.

And, as I stated before, this heat-seeking missile hit the target perfectly.

It's not even about the fact that his help appears to have put a gay-rights case over the top; it's about the simple fact that his help helped win a case for the side whose victory required the kind of judicial activism that we nomrally oppose in the judiciary.
