Is Karen Hughes' Commentary on Reproductive Rights Justified?

In summary, Karen Hughes, former member of the Bush Administration and current member of his reelection campaign, has been criticized for her role in promoting Republican spin. She left the administration to spend time with her family, but later returned to work on Bush's reelection and promote her book explaining her departure. She has been praised by conservatives for being "family oriented," but her recent statements have sparked outrage. In an interview about a march for women's reproductive rights, she linked the issue to 9/11 and terrorism, which has been seen as manipulative and offensive. Many see her as an elitist and a hypocrite, using the tragedy of 9/11 for political gain.

Hitler was always a proponent of "the big lie". Nothing about his agenda was socialist. Is everyone named Johnson the son of someone named John? Names mean little, or nothing in this case.

Socialism is the redistribution of wealth from the wealthy to the poor.

Facism, Hitlers poitical persuasion, is about the consolidation of unchecked power in an elite organization based on some unifying characteristic. When it suited the Nazis, capitalism thrived. When it did not, industries became nationalized.

I understand how the poorly educated mistake the nazis for communists - both rely on an elite, priveliged party, but to think that the nazis were socialists is just pathetic.

If you intend to disagree with yourself all the time, you should at least do it in two separate posts.

Selective reader, that Hughes is (Quote from Yoda). Hughes, you didn't include 'When it suited the Nazis, capitalism ... when it did not...' Nothing contradictory about his statement.

Yes Hughes. Generally when dishonest hacks deceptively quote people out of context they don't do it directly beneath the full quote. You'll never be writing for The Washington Times if you can't do better than that.

ROTFL, for sure! Hughes seems to have a myoptic way of seeing. He only sees what he wants to and that when its in agreement with him. BTW, I'm not a democrat.

Zero is right, stay on track, besides, I believe you have quoted Yoda out of context here.
