Dumb-assitude on parade

Seeking to take the heat off of fellow Clownhall columnist Armstrong Williams, Doug Bandow shows us that he’s Full Metal Stupid:

Being pro-life has been political death for any Democrat with national aspirations. Many on the left are unable to even contemplate a legitimate argument against legal abortion.

For instance, the Web log “BlameBush!” recently opined “that the bizarre creature brutally extracted from” Bobbie Jo Stinnett, the pregnant woman apparently murdered by another woman who wanted a child, “was a fetus.” Yet, complained the author, “the anti-choice crowd still insists on referring to the damned thing as a ‘baby.'”

Nevertheless, wrote the blogger, the obvious human characteristics of the fetus don’t “make it any more human than a baby-shaped intestinal parasite.” Thus, “we must protect a Woman’s Right to Choose and err on the side of inhumanity.” That’s precisely the problem with the pro-abortion lobby: it errs “on the side of inhumanity.” Which is a strange position for a party that claims to speak for the poor and disadvantaged.

BlameBush!…is a parody site.

Jeebus. What a fucking tool.

Maybe it’s not too late for the Cato Institute to put a stop payment on his paycheck. At least before he discovers The Onion.
