She wants to meet him again. If Dumbya was invited for a second time by someone who paid him money, would he say, "Sorry, you have already donated money to me"?

If Dumbya can meet a campaign donor many times if needed, the least he can do to a military mom is to meet her a second time.

CNN: "No" to Mother Teresa, "Yes" to NARAL

CNN: “No” to Mother Teresa, “Yes” to NARAL Fidelis Launches CNNBias.org, Demands Ad be Pulled

WASHINGTON — Fidelis, a national Catholic-based advocacy group, has accused CNN of bias and hypocrisy for agreeing to air a misleading NARAL advertisement, and called on the cable network to immediately pull the ad. CNN agreed to accept the NARAL attack ad on Judge John Roberts, yet has refused to air a pro-life ad featuring international humanitarian Mother Teresa. In 1998, CNN rejected an ad produced by Right to Life of Michigan featuring a touching interview with Mother Teresa filmed just before her death. At the time, the cable network cited its policy prohibiting issue advertisements.

Joseph Cella, President of Fidelis said: “We expect nothing less from CNN than to immediately pull the ad until NARAL can document and explain the accuracy of the commercial’s content.”

“CNN has taken an incredible step of holding out a double standard when it comes to advertisements related to the abortion issue. The ad slandering Judge John Roberts has already been declared ‘false’ by the non-partisan University of Pennsylvania Annenberg’s Factcheck.org website. CNN is apparently blind to the fact they are not only running a false advertisement, but also violating their policy which they used to deny a pro-life ad with Mother Teresa,” Cella stated.

The NARAL ad entitled “Speaking Out” insinuates that Judge Roberts supported an abortion-clinic bomber and makes excuses for such horrific violence in a legal brief, even though NARAL admits that Judge Roberts had argued, "No matter how lofty or sincerely held the goal, those who resort to violence to achieve it are criminals."

“Blessed Mother Teresa lived her life caring for the poorest of the poor, transcending all religions and classes of people. It is shameful that CNN would embrace an ad based on falsehoods, contradicting their own alleged policy against running issue-based ads, particularly after refusing a commercial featuring the loving and charitable message of Mother Teresa,” said Cella.

Barbara Listing, President of Right to Life of Michigan, called CNN’s dramatic turnabout “Disappointing.” “CNN refused to run our pro-life ad,” said Listing, “And yet now sadly, CNN is willing to run a commercial so full of lies from such a strident pro-abortion organization such as NARAL that independent watchdog groups have labeled it ‘false.’”

Fidelis has launched a multi-prong campaign at www.CNNBias.org to allow the public to contact CNN executives via e-mail in their offices in Atlanta and New York, urging them to pull the NARAL ad.

Cella concluded: “CNN’s special treatment of NARAL is an indication of the unfair treatment Judge Roberts and his family will be forced to endure throughout the confirmation process. Senators, liberal interest groups, and media outlets will continue to be held accountable by Fidelis when they cross the line.”

Update, 1:50 pm eastern time: I have just received an e-mail and phone call from
Gray L. Geddie of the L.A. office of Ogletree Deakins.

Here's the e-mail...

Dear Ms. Malkin,

I am the Managing Shareholder of the law firm of Ogletree Deakins with offices located across the country. I was very disturbed to learn today that a legal secretary in our Los Angeles office sent you the vile e-mail referenced on your home page. Such remarks are clearly inappropriate in any context and an e-mail such as this certainly should not have been sent during working time using our firm's equipment. The comments of this employee are not reflective of the views or opinions of the firm and are directly in violation of our e-mail policy.

As Managing Shareholder, I wanted to extend to you our apologies and let you know that this serious violation of our firm's work rules has resulted in the discharge of this employee.

Once again, let me offer you our deepest apologies for any discomfort that the referenced e-mail has caused. It will not happen again.

Sincerely,

Gray Geddie
