Shameless
I don't know which part of this is worse, that the President's campaign operatives seem content to exploit the threat and horror of terrorism today in ways that seem unimaginable, or that they might hate women so much that they actually believe this to be true, even the female strategists, like Karen Hughes, who put the Bush-Cheney '04 spin on today's pro-choice rally in Washington:
"'I think that after September 11, the American people are valuing life more and we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life,' she said. 'President Bush has worked to say, let's be reasonable, let's work to value life, let's reduce the number of abortions, let's increase adoptions. And I think those are the kinds of policies the American people can support, particularly at a time when we're facing an enemy and, really, the fundamental issue between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life.'"
So, as Dailykos' DHinMI points out, not only are teachers terrorists, pro-choice women are terrorists now too. Aren't Republicans the ones that are always whining about foolish moral equivalency arguments?
