Blogger Boi From Troy takes aim at CNN's double standard - last year refusing as "too controversial" a hard-hitting ad from the Log Cabin Republicans that linked images of Jerry Falwell, Rick Santorum and Rev. Fred Phelps, but now accepting a NARAL ad linking John Roberts to "violent fringe groups" that bomb abortion clinics.
According to the AP, "other abortion rights groups including the National Organization for Women, the National Abortion Federation and the Feminist Majority all have announced their opposition to Roberts." They should have added the Human Rights Campaign, the abortion rights lobby that targets gay and lesbian donors.
Here's the New York Times' report; even the liberal Times can't defend the ad.
Meanwhile, social conservatives may be
turning against Roberts for being pro-gay. And right-wing
firebrand Ann Coulter has been leading
the anti-Roberts charge.
