Left Wing Nuts
People who do this are no better than the Swift Boat liars. Since when is it OK to crap all over people to make a political point? I suppose if it fits your agenda you can do almost anything. Well, I for one, just want to see good honest people in government. I'm sick of this BS.
In releasing the ad, Nancy Keenan, NARAL's president, said in a statement that she wanted "to be very clear that we are not suggesting Mr. Roberts condones or supports clinic violence." That's funny, because the ad does precisely that. It opens with the scene of a bombed clinic -- a clinic attacked years after the case in question -- and then shows a victim of the bombing. An announcer intones that "Supreme Court nominee John Roberts filed court briefs supporting violent fringe groups and a convicted clinic bomber." It closes with the announcer telling viewers that "America can't afford a justice whose ideology leads him to excuse violence against other Americans."
Update: The ad in question has been pulled.
