If Her Heinous was not caught on verifiably undoctored videotape uttering the FJB remark, there is no proof she said it. If at least a dozen people had witnessed her saying this, and ALL were willing to testify to that effect, then maybe -- MAYBE -- the charge could be made to stick.

Until then, all we have is a classic he said/she said situation. Besides, is it actually ILLEGAL to utter such an oath? Distasteful as it may be at times, I still believe in freedom of expression. What people SAY doesn't matter very much, it's what they DO that counts. Sticks and stones, and all that . . .

I don't think we conservatives should descend to the Democrats' level and play these demolition games with people's reputations. The only way to defeat "Bruno" is by being consistently BETTER than she on every possible level -- and not being afraid to point out the errors in her logic in public discourse.

This creature can only be defeated on honest INTELLECTUAL grounds. Expressing our visceral dislike for and instinctive distrust of this haughty bundle of contempt and condescension on an emotional level may feel good, but it will never persuade the fencesitters to move over to our side -- and certainly never cause our political enemies to rethink their position.

Let's try to speak softly and carry a big stick -- like our president.

Your sentiments are nice, however, we are not dealing with someone who plays by any rules except her own. Unless she is shown for what she is, she could actually fool enough people to get to the White House (again).
