Convention devoted to women celebrates Ted Kennedy unironically
2012-09-05
I've got to say, in all sincerity: I appreciate their brazenness in building a convention around the theme of a "war on women" while not only inviting Bill Clinton to be a headline speaker but having a video tribute to Teddy to start things off. They're all but admitting that their pretense of moral superiority really is just a pose taken for political effect. If John Edwards had walked out onstage to a standing ovation after this clip ended, it would have been one of the most honest moments in recent convention history. Alas, a missed opportunity.

#5  We all just assumed the "war on women" was an accusation against the Republicans and not a long-standing Democrat party platform.

Orwell would be proud.

#2  What you and many others don't get about this is that it is totally in line with the whole Democrat philosophy as spotlighted by such as "you didn't build that" and "we all belong to the government".

Bill "pervert" Clinton and Teddy "foul stench" Kennedy are foul only when looked at as individuals. If you look at the principles of the big picture statists it is only what policies you tout (to be paid for by others) not your behavior that matters.

This is just more of the statist attitude along the lines of Stalin's "one death is a tragedy, 1 meillion is a statistic".

Our betters are not to be judged by their individual actions, that's for the little people.
