Desperate Midwives

By Mowbray on Uncategorized

Never has the axiom, “The weaker the argument, the greater the desperation” seemed so accurate. Democrats and diplomats are working in tandem to torpedo a superbly qualified candidate without a single critique on substance–and so far, they’re getting away with it. Senators complaining that someone is a “bully” as a boss??? Since when has a group with less credibility on an issue been taken at face value? This is akin to Fidel Castro villifying someone as a “pinko commie”

Remember the Dems’ initial line of attack: we can’t send someone who says nasty things about the UN to the UN. That was a losing argument. To the extent the public actually cares about the UN, they hate it. There is little defense of an institution that helped Saddam skim some $21 billion and includes on its human rights commission the likes of Cuba and Saudi Arabia, so their original tack got no traction. But when they shifted to the “mean” argument and screamed it really LOUDLY, the opposition finally started to jell. And the pliant press played along, absent any mention of the giant glass house sitting in the room.

The saddest part is that it is probably less a product of left-wing bias than rote adherence to “he said, she said” reporting.
