More Pro-Abort Slime

NARAL is currently seeking to run an ad (which CNN has approved!) against Judge Roberts’ nomination to the Supreme Court.

Take it away, FactCheck.Org! (a non-partisan group):


NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts

Attack ad says he supported an abortion-clinic bomber and excused violence. In fact, Roberts called clinic bombers “criminals” who should be prosecuted fully.

An abortion-rights group is running an attack ad accusing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts of filing legal papers “supporting . . . a convicted clinic bomber” and of having an ideology that “leads him to excuse violence against other Americans” It shows images of a bombed clinic in Birmingham , Alabama .

The ad is false.

GET THE STORY.

  1. I have to say that I agree with the mos tof the final statement by the Announcer: “Call your Senators.” “America can’t afford a Justice whose ideology leads him to excuse violence against other Americans.”
    We all need to call our Senators and remind them that attacking a child in the womb is the most violent crime being perpetrated today and we can’t afford to have any more people who support such heinous crimes appointed to any bench.

  3. Just another day at the mill for NARAL. I would expect no different from them.
    But as a sideline, is anyone else as worried about Roberts as I? Yea, we’ve been assured that he’s a “real conservative”, but his record is awful ambiguous. He could very well be one of those “I’m personally opposed to but…” people. I’m not at all confident in Roberts legal philosophy – mostly because nobody really knows what his philosophy is. Every time I see something about this guy, I get creepy David Souter like deja-vu feelings…
    I hope I’m wrong.

  4. Esquire-
    Obfuscation aside, do you support or defend the NARAL ads? Is it okay for libs to lie?

  5. Tim – NARAL kills children. For a living. I doubt that they have too many misgivings about dishonesty.

  6. Oh, I agree, Steve. I just thought it an interesting defense to say that it’s okay to lie because someone else might have lied about some unrelated thing earlier.
    That pretty well lets all of us off the hook, doesn’t it?

  7. I watched the ad last night. Disgusting. I’m glad you posted on it. But please help out this unenlightened (read “Orthodox”) Canuck: Is Roberts gonna get in? It was looking good but your libs seem to be gearing up.
    Praying for you,
    Stefan

  8. leads him to excuse violence against other Americans
    Boy, the Evil One really has no shame, eh?
    That’s like Adolf Hitler taking Harry Truman to task for his anti-semitism.
    The feminist sites are all over how “factcheck.org got it’s facts wrong”.

  9. Stefan, ask us in a couple of months. Like, after the vote.
    Bear in mind that the anti- forces were raising money before Bush announced Roberts. They were ready to attack anyone.
    Indeed, I’ve read speculation that the Hispanic/woman speculation was to distract them from the real nominee, to give them less time to dig. I doubt that it was intentional, because the adminstration wasn’t orchestrating the speculation. But the effect was the same.

  10. It’s being reported this morning that NARAL has pulled the ad.
    The Swiftees ads last year were simple, straightforward, and AFAIK completely honest.
