Factcheck.org: NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts
Not finding anything real with which to accuse Supreme court Nominee John Roberts, NARAL has decided to fall back on their only option: lies. Here is what Penn's Factcheck.org has to say about a new NARAL ad attacking Roberts:NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts
An abortion-rights group is running an attack ad accusing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts of filing legal papers "supporting . . . a convicted clinic bomber" and of having an ideology that "leads him to excuse violence against other Americans." It shows images of a bombed clinic in Birmingham, Alabama .
The ad is false.
In addition, Factcheck.org also states that:
The images used in the ad are especially misleading. The pictures are of a clinic bombing that happened nearly seven years after Roberts signed the legal brief in question.
Finally, they point out that:
In fact, Roberts called clinic bombers "criminals" who should be prosecuted fully.
It's funny. The add concludes with the words "America can't afford a Justice whose ideology leads him to excuse violence against other Americans." I would suggest that what America can't afford are extremists like NARAL "whose ideology leads them to excuse the violence of blatant lies against other Americans."
