Yeah, the Planned Parenthood story isn't a case of people being "fooled" or "mislead." They aren't going to change their minds if an accountant explains the difference between "selling something for a profit" and "being reimbursed for shipping costs," they aren't particularly interested in stories about lives being saved thanks to donated tissue, and they don't care that D&X abortions aren't performed on "elective" abortions, but rather because the pregnancy has gone wrong and extraordinary measures are necessary to save the mother's life. This is about choosing to believe a lie about people they already don't like to make their hate feel all the more self-righteous.

Courtesy of Fred Clark, whose blog you should read, here's a quote from someone Pro-Life people should ostensibly respect.

C.S. Lewis posted:

The real test is this. Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling, “Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,” or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything — God and our friends and ourselves included — as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.

Nothing against Iowa, or the rest of the “heartland” that started out as the frontier, but it won’t do to pretend that the 29th star added to the American flag is somehow more authentic than any of the original thirteen. All such realmurka games are silly and stupid and clumsily fraught with political agendas, and its best not to play them at all. But for those who insist on playing them, sorry, stars and stripes outscore stars without stripes every time.

How on earth is the press being unfair to Trump there Glenn? They're literally just replaying the dumb poo poo he says, even FOX is slowly backing away after that McCain comment. It was kind of funny to see the guys on Fox and Friends desperately scramble to try and turn his words into "NO GUYS HE MEANT MCCAIN'S RECORD, NOT HIM PLEASE BUY THIS OH GOD" though right after it happened.

That's a terrible color shirt. For a second, I thought he wasn't wearing a shirt at all!

Also, pretty much every media article on Trump so a repeat, but accurate:

"Trump calls Mexican immigrants rapists, causing outcry"

"Trump calls POWs not real heroes, sparking outrage"

"Trump gives public Lindsay Graham's personal number, causing controversy"

Glenn, these are things that actually happened!

Pretty sure this is the GOP damage control on Trump at work. They can't get him to shut up, and he's too popular among the base to disown, so it's plan C, blame the media.

We should all be thanking him, he's accelerating the inevitable splintering of the Republican Party.
