2. I reserve the right to banish you and I will do so if you can't be nice.
3. I reserve the right to edit, delete, post, mangle, fold, spindle, and/or mutilate any comment. I probably won't do it if you play nice.
4. I may post any email sent to me if I want to. Privacy will only be honored if requested and I think it needs to be kept private.
5. This is a hobby, but feel free to help defray the costs via the tip jar. :) If you don't, Obama will tax you out of it, so you may as well give it to me. I pay for the bandwidth and this blog. It ain't blogspot. Seriously, if you don't donate, don't feel obligated. I'll still like you.

NARAL has now issued a rebuttal to the FactCheck.org analysis and they do a pretty good job of exposing it as just a crappy research job:
FACTCHECK.ORG COULD USE A GOOD FACTCHECKER
Factcheck.org’s analysis of the television advertisement released by NARAL Pro-Choice America on August 8, 2005 is deeply flawed, and its conclusion that the “ad is false” is unsubstantiated and should be retracted. The analysis, written by Matthew Barge, identified as a recent college graduate, is riddled with legal and factual errors and in many instances virtually mirrors the White House’s talking points. One might disagree with the opinions stated in the ad or even have a different view of how John Roberts’ role in a particular case should be characterized; however, every factual statement made in NARAL Pro-Choice America’s ad is completely accurate and supported by objective documents. The ad is not “false.” John Roberts did indeed file briefs supporting violent fringe groups, with the effect of excusing their actions by helping to remove a crucial legal remedy that had been the most effective tool against them.

Some unkown college student writes the rebuttal? Yeah Right.
It is STUPID BEYOND BELIEF to think that Judge Roberts supports violence against women or the bombing of abortion clinics. Period!
And yes, I'm calling you stupid if you believe that John Roberts indeed supports violence.
