How can you tell when a liberal knowingly is on the untruthful side of the wall that separates them from us?
When smarm and mile-wide generalizations are her weapons of rhetorical destruction.
Under the headline “The Fight for Unplanned Parenthood,” essayist Gail Collins of The New York Times the other day resorted to her chosen bully-boy style in seeking to defame the anti-abortion group that interviewed Parenthood officials and caught them making embarrassing statements.
Cornered Parenthood executives were humiliated when their people made damning statements about financially negotiating for baby parts that the president of Parenthood, a quintessential hardliner on abortion, Cecile Richards, made a lightly reported apology.
Roaringly insecure in her private life, the thin-skinned Ms. Collins’s favorite essay strategy is to belittle her foes accusatorily and then run away at the speed of an older woman schlepping baggage. She shuns engaging in debates disagreements on their merits the way a child eludes soap.
The reliably belligerent Ms. Collins’s primary talent is name-calling. She lacks confidence in her debating skills.
As a brassy cheerleader for the national abortion factory that is Planned Parenthood, she is on firm ground. How strong though are her convictions if she ducks debates?
Every year, Parenthood receives a half-billion dollars in taxpayer funding to determine which babies must die.
Left-wing women are notorious for branding critics of left-wing women politicians as sexists. These same ladies often are the first to hammer Republican women politicians.
Said Ms. Collins of Carly Fiorina’s recent critique of Planned Parenthood:
She “was passionate about the subject in (last) week’s Republican debate. Nothing she said was accurate, but nobody’s perfect.”
Isn’t that a knee-slapper?
Here was Ms. Fiorina’s debate statement about Planned Parenthood:
“[A]nyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ This is about the character of our nation. If we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.”
Ms. Collins is a liberal rather than a conservative because instead of deconstructing such remarks, she ignored them. She placed one thumb in each ear and wiggled her digits.
How mature – and persuasive.
