NEW DESPERATE DEMOCRAT TARGETS

Hitting a new low, desperate Democrats zeroed in on Judge John Roberts' wife Jane Sullivan Roberts.
Jane Roberts is herself a lawyer and a staunch foe of abortion. She has provided time, money and legal advice to a small Washington group known as Feminists for Life of America.
Like her husband, Jane Roberts is a Roman Catholic, so it is almost natural that the largely anti-religious and anti-Christian leftists should single out Mrs. Roberts as a target for mud slinging.
A second sudden target for attack is former CBS newsman Bernie Goldberg. His latest book, 100 People Screwing up America, largely blasts leftists, although a few Conservatives are on Goldberg's list. Interviewed on a largely unwatched CNBC cable show, Goldberg was set up and viciously attacked by five lefties, including Ron Deutsch, the show's host. Anyone seeing Goldberg under fire on this show saw quite clearly just how much left wingers truly believe in free speech. Goldberg was unable to utter any words in his defense until he finally told the panelists that he wished they would shut up and let him speak. Sorry, Bernie, only elitist left wing snobs get to talk on Democrat controlled cable shows.
Finally we note attacks on Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania. His comments that Boston liberalism contributed to an atmosphere of sexual freedom in which child abuse by priests flourished has been met by liberal wrath. While Santorum's view may not be accepted as gospel by many, it is a fact that the Boston archdiocese led the nation in number of wayward priests convicted of child sexual abuse in the last three decades. And it is also demonstrable that Boston is a citadel of liberalism. You are free to make the connection here.
Meanwhile, Democrats are in the frustrating position of seeing Karl Rove driven off the front pages of big city newspapers by such unimportant events as London terrorist bombs and the selection of Judge Roberts for the Supreme Court.
What is a Democrat to do these days? Hopefully at least the Senate Democrats will make total fools of themselves when confirmation hearings with Judge Roberts get underway.
