Blithe Spirit 
Thanks, Jim. I just posted the following comment. We’ll have to see if they run it.
This little piece of propaganda is pornographic in the debauchery it commits upon the truth. It would be perfectly at home in a newsletter from the National Abortion Rights Action League or the DNC, but the National Catholic Reporter? I’m a Jew, and yet I have more respect for Catholic principles than Mr. Whelan and the rest of you at NCR do.
The most important statement on the page comes at the bottom:
“Patrick Whelan MD, PhD is … a former advisor on Catholic concerns to Governor Howard Dean when he was chairman of the Democratic National Committee.”
If this piece of excrement is any indication, I can imagine what Dr. Dr. Whelan told Gov. Dean. Something like, ‘Governor, the most important thing to Catholics is that there be no limits whatsoever on abortion. No parental notification at any age, no limit on late-term abortions, no waiting periods. Indeed, unlimited abortion is a pillar of the Catholic faith!’
Off the top of my head, Ted Kennedy’s legacy consists of:
Mary Jo Kopechne
Supporting abortion
Virulent racism
Destroying America through the 1965 Immigration Act, which he completely lied about, before it was passed and signed in to law.
Repeatedly trying to ram through racist, nation-breaking amnesties for criminal foreign invaders.
Repeatedly trying to ram through nation-breaking health-care legislation.

Rather than feel his own pain, he felt others’. That way, he could not only feel but look good.

Pat Hickey,
Best comment of all! But I thought I saw it at NCR, as well. Am I wrong? Because I don’t see either of our comments anymore. Could it be that the “tolerant,” leftist heretics are crushing dissent?
