Tucker continues the rightwing propaganda
Source: Today's show

Tucker just said on two different occasions on the same segment with Tony Perkins that Hillary accepts money from people who commit abortions.

No link yet.



This is a continuation of the same rightwing language in which they insinuate that Democrats are not "pro-choice" but "pro-abortion". Of course, Tucker could have easily said something more objective (or truthful) such as: Hillary accepts money from "pro-choice" groups or from "groups that promote choice"; however, we have to suffer through his subdued wingnuttery. I suppose he is insinuating that there is some lobbying group of doctors who perform abortions who donate to Hillary so that they can profit from abortion. Whatever....

It's just pro-choice---not pro-abortion.

1. The operative word in the statement is "commit" . . .
Edited on Tue Jun-12-07 05:45 PM by MrModerate
Rather than "perform." One "commits" a crime; one "performs" a necessary and voluntary medical procedure.

In Pander-To Land, an abortion is a crime.

It ain't subdued, he's just not spraying the camera with spittle à la O'Reilly.

2. Well we do
25% of pregnancies end in abortion. LOTS of women have 'committed' abortion, a whole lot more than admit it. Democrats accept money from them. I bet Republicans do too.

I think we have to quit being intimidated by their moralizing and just blow them off completely. Women have abortions. Get over it.

3. This should go in General Discussion forum.
The mods want to reserve LBN for links to news stories, using the name of the article as the subject header. (They might move it for you.)

Welcome to DU, though!

4. Republicans take money from Satanists
Michael Moore was able to write a check to Pat Buchanan's primary campaign from "Satanists for Buchanan" and the check was actually cashed!
