GERSON IS A LIAR (AND A WAPO COLUMNIST)

Michael Gerson used to be a speech writer for Pres. Fredo and now is a columnist for the Washington Post. I was amazed at the number of LIES in his recent outburst, "Obama's Abortion Extremism."

In the 1st paragraph, he repeats a hallowed wingnut lie about Casey and Clinton:

Robert P. Casey Sr., the senator's father, was banned from speaking to the Democratic convention for the heresy of being pro-life.

Casey wasn't invited to speak primarily because he didn't support the ticket!

A few paragraphs later, Gerson lies about American's attitudes about abortion:

Few Americans oppose abortion under every circumstance, but a majority oppose most of the abortions that actually take place -- generally supporting the procedure only in the case of rape or incest, or to save the life of the mother.

The majority of Americans want abortion legal in all cases (21%) or most cases (36%). SOURCE: ABC News/Washington Post Poll. Jan. 9-12, 2008. N=1,130 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.
