Conservative Reaction to Lara Logan Story

Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit wrote this sick piece of garbage about Lara Logan's sexual assault.

Lara Logan is lucky she’s alive.
Her liberal belief system almost got her killed on Friday. This talented reporter will never be the same.

Why did this attractive blonde female reporter wander into Tahrir Square last Friday? Why would she think this was a good idea? Did she not see the violence in the square the last three weeks? Did she not see the rock throwing? Did she miss the camels? Did her colleagues tell her about the Western journalists who were viciously assaulted on the Square? Did she forget about the taunts from the Egyptian thugs the day before? What was she thinking? Was it her political correctness that about got her killed? Did she think things would be different for her?

Lara Logan was asking for it because she is a liberal. What utter nonsense.

Jill Filipovic wrote about the Logan story at Feministe. A commenter shared her experience being repeatedly raped by her boyfriend. It is a heartbreaking read. I wasn't going to post it. After reading the internet attacks against Logan, I thought people should understand that rape can happen anywhere to anyone. Rape has nothing to do with political idealogy and everything to do with the violation of a human being.

Majority of Notre Dame Student Support Obama

Gateway Pundit thinks the Notre Dame fundamentalist protesters make the Christian Right look good. Did GP fail the notice the vast majority of students were booing the protesters? It is obvious the graduating students like Obama more than the protesters. Listen to the cheers when Obama says he is glad to be at Notre Dame.



Glenn Reynolds links the Gateway Pundit's post. GP calls Obama "the most radical pro-abortion and infanticide president in history. One of his first actions as president was to lift a ban on funding foreign abortions." The pro-choice and pro-gay marriage Reynolds doesn't care about those issues. Reynolds is intellectually lazy. Reynolds will not sit down and formulate a coherent thesis about why he disagrees with Obama. He would rather bash Obama by linking to a blogger he disagrees with on social issues.

The signs point the Republicans astroturfing the Notre Dame commencement speech. The outrage against Obama wasn't coming from the student body.

Notre Dame's leadership argued that opposition to Obama's presence was largely from alumni or outsiders, with contemporary students overwhelmingly welcoming the president. The university's newspaper said that 73% of letters from students backed the invitation to Obama.
