"Committee for Justice" begs Lieberman, etc. to talk sense into liberals

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Committee for Justice, which defends and promotes constitutionalist judicial nominees, today responded to NARAL Pro-Choice America's new TV ad on Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.

"We told you so," CFJ Chairman C. Boyden Gray said. "After three weeks of restraint, the radical left's dam has finally broken and the hysterics have begun."

"A respectful debate is not what NARAL's clients demand, does not get Nancy Keenan on TV, and does not bring in revenue from women frightened by NARAL's scare tactics," Gray continued.

"To associate a man of John Roberts' character and integrity with criminals is simply deceitful," Gray added. "It says more about NARAL than it does about John Roberts," Gray added. "There is a whiff of desperation about this ad."

"NARAL's press release compounds the injury by dishonestly stating, 'we are not suggesting Mr. Roberts condones or supports clinic violence,' when that of course is exactly what their ad does," Gray also said.

"CFJ calls on moderate Democratic senators such as Joe Lieberman (Conn.), Ben Nelson (Neb.), Blanche Lincoln (Ark.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Herb Kohl (Wis.), Kent Conrad (N.Dak.), Evan Bayh (Ind.), Tom Carper (Del.), Robert Byrd (W.Va.), and Jeff Bingaman (N.Mex.) to renounce NARAL and to communicate to liberal groups that smear tactics are not helpful or wanted," Gray continued.

"We also invite the mainstream media, through its news and editorial coverage, to treat NARAL's ads as shocking and distasteful rather than go along on the ride to the circus," Gray concluded. "Only if NARAL's tactics are thoroughly discredited by journalists and Democrats will we restore the confirmation process to a less politicized state."

1. Yawn.

Another call to "Sit down! Shut up!"

2. Like we'd listen to Lieberman!

That DINO? No way. Honestly, who would listen to any Dem that asked us to support Roberts and "renounce NARAL"? Aside from Lieberman (the weasel) or Zell Miller, any Dem who advocated such things would probably be committing political suicide. Or so I like to fantasize.

3. Two words for the "Committee for Justice"

Fuck You.

I especially like this part:

Yeah, just like the mainstream media treated the Swift Boat ads against John Kerry as shocking and distasteful? NOT! Up yours!

I'm tired of these groups complaining when things don't go their way and acting innocent when the media rolls over and plays dead when things do go their way.

8. C. Boyden Gray, a man of inbredding unsurpassed by even the Romanoffs

C. Boyden Gray is a consummate liar and lackey mouthpiece for the ruling the class

9. Funny, but all the ads I've seen so far - only a day after the

decree from der fuhrer, were from the right wing assholes warning us not to listen to the upcomming "liberal" ads.

holy joe and the other repuke moles can go to hell.

The should crawl all the way over to me thru broken glass to kiss my butt!

That's what I'll tell them!

They must be getting desparate since our progressive/liberal/democratic wing of the democratic party has started to flex its muscles and started calling the repukes what they really are without mincing words.

10. Joe , remember it's a slippery slope!

There's a list with plenty of things the repugs find "shocking and distastful" from the Radical Left, loads from the Left, some from the Center Left and a few from the Moderate Right...wait that's you Joe!
I dislike those that think that Freedom of Speech is applied selectively. By the way what's to stop the Radical Right doing the same thing?
If fellow Du'ers find the opening remark inappropriate, I'll edit it.

Edit: changed opening remark anyway.
