The title expresses a premise I’m not convinced is true. As far as I am concerned, it’s a disgusting ploy.

“The title expresses a premise I’m not convinced is true.”

Yes, FWIW, that's the real meaning of the logical fallacy called: “begging the question”. Unfortunately, that expression is now used incorrectly, far more often than not.

The writer, Jennifer Rubin, writes also for Pagamas Media. Some of her other articles:

Hillary Flunks Out
Her tenure as secretary of state has been nothing short of embarrassing and disastrous

Why Did Holder's Justice Department Dismiss the Black Panther Case?
The Attorney General Apparently Believes Civil Rights Legislation Only Protects Certain Races.

She's not a liberal. I don't see how this is a "ploy". I believe she's concerned.

I agree. It’s supermarket-tabloid-style journalism.

Very true, as are pretty much all of them, from the vicious assault on Bristol Palin through Andrew Sullivan's trutherism attack on the parentage of poor little Trig.

If you are so degenerate and intellectually corrupt that you have to attack a three month old special needs child, well what does that say?

Commentary is a conservative publication. Believe me it's largely true, maybe more so among secular than religious Jews.
