And so once again we are reminded of Fran Lebowitz’ quip, “Hello, you don’t know me but my hair dresser occasionally sleeps with your press agent, so why don’t you show me Paris,” in which a series of unrelated things are tied together to benefit the speaker. The Right Wing Outrage Machine is really good at this sort of straw man argument. At first blush it seems cogent, but any examination of the details and it starts to fall apart.

The Planned Parenthood outrage is a strangely timed affair. The Center for Medical Progress (the Xristian Xrazies behind the videos) has said that they have twelve vids to share and have been pushing them out of the factory at about one per week to see them take flight. If my math is right (always dubious) that means that they will be releasing them into the fall, when presumably the 2016 Goat Rodeo will be racing along with all hooves in motion… READ MORE

      I was just going to comment about this being regurgitated on my fb feed. It’s amazing how the right has this formula down to a science. How do you combat this shit? I’m beging to understand how the Jews must have felt. No joke. Talk about history repeating itself.

    It’s called politics and the fact that the abortion industry is now ghoulishly into selling human fetal body parts big time.

      I get my fetuses for 6 bucks a pound at my local Planed Parenthood meat market, I cook em up with garlic and onions tasty little morsels for sure so where would I get my fetuses from if they shut them down.

      There is no such thing as “the abortion industry”..
      And ( embryos and fetuses ) are being used for research into new treatments for a variety of diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease,
      Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart disease and kidney failure.

      The 1954 Nobel Prize for Medicine, for example, was awarded to American
      immunologists who developed the polio vaccine based on cultures of
      human fetal kidney cells…(guess you would rather polio still crippled little children across the USA)..

      I know how wingnuts like you hate science, research, cures for disease,(other than prayer) and modernity in general..
      Take your hyperbole and shove it up as far up your colon as that stick you have up there allows.

    I get it – the plaque that forms your tarter is filthy green slime – it oozes up the sinuses and fills the void between your ears.
