The most dangerous obscenity spewing from the seat of government of late is not the vulgar outburst of Dick Cheney, displacing onto Pat Leahy his pique at a national electorate numbering his days as veep. Instead it takes the form of an interoffice memorandum. Leaked [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

Wipe away all the superlative rhetoric in this article and you’re left with nothing more than the fact that liberals simply can’t allow ANYBODY that dares to agree with nearly half the population in opposing abortion to get anywhere near a lifetime appointment. To even agree with three quarters of the population and support common sense measures like parental notification is taboo to these ideological bigots.
This combined with the fact that someone is open and unapologetic about their religious views reliably brings out the long knives of the left.
I see that Wade Henderson, who recently wrote an article for In These Times regarding the appointment of Charles Pickering is among the usual suspects opposing James Leon Holmes.

His article along with the left’s entire smear campaign against Pickering was thoroughly discredited by non other than who wooda thunk it…...60 minutes, as documented by Nat Hentoff:

I wrote in response to Henderson’s article that people should very suspicious the next time the good reputation of an honorable decent person is so casually trashed based on cherry picking out of context statements instead of listening to the people who know them best.
If you oppose someone because you can’t imagine not being able to conveniently end the life that John Kerry now says he believes begins at conception, then have the courage to just say so. Don’t smear a decent person as a racist, a women hater, or a religious nut because you don’t have the courage to let your true feelings be known.
