218. So, did she respond? Or stop listening to you?
Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid...I'm sorry, but I'm disgusted at anti-abortion people showing pictures of bloody fetuses, and if I were a woman seeking an abortion I wouldn't listen to them. I'm sure this will invoke the same response, regardless of the New Testament quotes.

This might amuse people on DU, but it won't change any minds, and it won't end the war or Bush's grab for power. In fact, in my view it's uncomfortably like the time I had to spend with some members of the Florida Ku Klux Klan, who kept swapping awful, stale jokes about killing black people and kept laughing at them, no matter how unfunny they were. The point of their jokes was not humor, but saying, "We're Klansmen and you're not; we are part of a select group and we're confirming our membership in that esteemed body."

Is this really any different? And please don't say "yeah, because we're right and they're wrong."
