Last edited Sun Nov 29, 2015, 02:36 AM - Edit history (1)

tomorrow.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_NEWS_SHOWS?SITE=AP

Will she finally admit her repeated statements about 'baby parts' in "O'Keefe'd" doctored PP
videos were mistaken?

Will Chris Wallace ask her whether she feels any responsibility for the murders in Colorado Springs?

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?

Chris Wallace's Dad most be rotating in his grave. He did not press her either on her repeated lies about the video or on whether she feels partially responsible for the murders. They spent there times as much time on climate change as on PP persecution.

appears to be very bright. How bright is she? My guess, not bright enough to realize that she can't obfuscate this time?

But, what would she say? My first thought would be, "I am 100% against violence. But, here's what's wrong, Mike....we, as a nation must realize that people think abortion is murder and will murder to stop it."

But, then I thought - won't the media spin it to say she condoned the violent act?

What do you think she could say?

if he had the guts'.

The timing certainly is right. And the stakes are high not only for Fiorina. Other far-right Republicans also have placed big political bets on pure fantasy about PP that cannot withstand even the slightest scrutiny. A joint Senate-House committee meets in two weeks to decide whether to risk shutting down the government over defunding PP. And a Benghazi-like House special committee on PP already has 300 thousand tax dollars available to spend over the next month.

Carly Fiorina, Cop Killer: after terrorist attack on Planned Parenthood, she must drop out of race
By Bill Palmer | November 28, 2015 | 5
carly-fiorina-2


Carly Fiorina was never fit to be a leader in the business world, and this year we’ve definitively seen that she’s not fit to lead in the political world either. Now she’s shown us something else: she’s not fit to be a public figure, period. In one of the most egregious political campaigns in recent memory, she focused on spreading vicious lies about Planned Parenthood ..............


Long after the “Planned Parenthood is selling baby parts” videos were shown to be dishonestly edited and didn’t depict a Planned Parenthood clinic to begin with, Fiorina continued insisting that the organization was chopping up babies for profit. She made that disproven lie the focus of her campaign, and she briefly skyrocketed in republican polls...............

Yet she continued beating the Planned Parenthood drum, and sure enough, one of the mentally disturbed “conservative christian” gun nuts she had been manipulating inevitably shot up one of the group’s clinics this weekend........................



........................... There has never been anything quite like this in modern American politics. She was never going to come close to winning her party’s nomination, yet she continues with her campaign for no reasons other than ego and denial. Now cop-killer Carly Fiorina must drop out before her hatemongering rhetoric gets anyone else killed.

I do not want to speak for Carly (to enter her polluted mind is horrible). She hid on Hillary during her closing statement of the the first Happy Hour debate in August and Hillary's plan to fund PP--and continued this time. Transcript below is 2nd debate in which she graduated up to prime-time.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES PARTICIPATE IN A CNN-SPONSORED DEBATE (#2), SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

SEPTEMBER 16, 2015...............



............BASH: So you would support a shutdown.



CHRISTIE: Let's force him to do what he says he's going to do. Now I don't know whether he'll do it or not, but let's force him to do it.



FIORINA: Dana, I would like to link these two issues, both of which are incredibly important, Iran and Planned Parenthood.



One has something to do with the defense of the security of this nation. The other has something to do with the defense of the character of this nation. You have not heard a plan about Iran from any politician up here, here is my plan. On day one in the Oval Office, I will make two phone calls, the first to my good friend to Bibi Netanyahu to reassure him we will stand with the state of Israel.



The second, to the supreme leader, to tell him that unless and until he opens every military and every nuclear facility to real anytime, anywhere inspections by our people, not his, we, the United States of America, will make it as difficult as possible and move money around the global financial system.



We can do that, we don't need anyone's cooperation to do it. And every ally and every adversary we have in this world will know that the United States in America is back in the leadership business, which is how we must stand with our allies.



As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, it's heart beating, it's legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.



This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up in and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.



(APPLAUSE)



TAPPER: Dana, I want to continue on the subject.



Governor Bush, you recently said while discussing Planned Parenthood, quote, you're "not sure we need a half billion for women's health issues." Now you've since said that you misspoke, you didn't mean to say "women's health issues."



But Donald Trump said that quote, that comment, which Hillary Clinton did seize upon immediately, will haunt you the same way Mitt Romney's 47 percent video haunted him.



Tell Donald Trump why he's wrong.



BUSH: Well, he's wrong on a lot of things, but on this he's wrong because I'm the most pro-life governor on this stage. I got to act on my core beliefs. It's part of who I am. Life is a gift from God. And from beginning end we need to respect it and err on the side of life.



And so I defunded Planned Parenthood. We created a climate where parental notification took place. We were the only state to fund crisis pregnancy centers with state moneys. We were totally focused on this. And I would bring that kind of philosophy to Washington, D.C.



So here is a solution to this. Title X of the HHS funding, there is something that was the "Reagan Rule." It was passed in 1988. And in that rule it was defined, and the courts approved this, that a Planned Parenthood, you couldn't separate the money between the actual abortion procedures, and there are 330,000 abortions that take place in this clinic, and their promotion of it.................

Sun Nov 29, 2015, 07:22 PM
Nov 2015

In an interview this morning with Fox News Sunday, Republican primary candidate Carly Fiorina said that attempts to link Friday’s Planned Parenthood shooting with anti-abortion rhetoric were “typical left-wing tactics.”

Fiorina was responding to a statement by Vicki Cowart, president of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. In her statement, Cowart said, “We’ve seen an alarming increase in hateful rhetoric and smear campaigns against abortion providers and patients over the last few months. That environment breeds acts of violence.” Fiorina rejected the connections made by Cowart saying, “This is so typical of the left to immediately begin demonizing a messenger because they don’t agree with the message. The vast majority of Americans agree what Planned Parenthood is doing is wrong.”

Basically, she's being demonized by those evil liberals.

I did not watch, but they played a small clip of it on CNN where Fiorina accused anyone who tried to ascribe any blame on the right wing for the Planned Parenthood events as using typical left wing tactics.

Big surprise.
