"I have never attacked her family."

I didn't say you had, I said you were a champion of left wing attacks on her and her family. The left wing or its representative mob has launched virtually millions of those attacks. You must feel very proud.

"But, to ignore this..."

This what? This matter of fact that she was once young and not satisfied to simply follow the script of coming from moderate income parentage, by going to a college to prepare for a moderate income small town job? I didn't ignore it I spoke to that issue specifically. And mentioned why I considered the manner in which she dealt with it to be admirable. She is a person who has gone through monumental and unconventional personal growth. You even quoted the comment.

"Some of the most interesting and wise people I have ever met have been people who tried a lot of different things when they were young."

"...sticking you head in the sand.

No head in sand here. I am head high confronting the pathetic attack, which is way out of skew under the circumstances. She lost a race and went back to work but the blood was already in the water for the frenzied and unrelenting shark attack. An attack writhe with left wing sound bites and extremism that simply isn't justified at any level.

"But, to ignore this in a person with national political aspirations"

That doesn't pass the smell test and you know it. It is exactly as I positioned it. If the right wing likes her, stone her. She has no more 'aspirations' than would be reasonable for any other person who has achieved political prominence. At the moment that number is thousands of persons. It all feels right and good to a left wing extremist and the list of justifications is immaterial. Be proud, be bold if you must but get off your high horse...

"Or some place dark."
